Xeno Ships...

[Guest]

Trying to help a friend out who wants to know what decent ships can a Xeno use that isn't an Eagle or a Crow (preferrably light fighters)

[sean24]

Xenos fly civilian ships mostly. An Eagle or Roc would be a good choice for a Xeno.

Consult the technology chart aswell.

On the tech chart, 2 slots are green and the rest are red.

You may use sirius-wide civilian and liberty civilian, as a xeno.

If you don't like the Roc, try the Waran. There's also the griffin, Marauder, Kingfisher, Dacite, and Mafic. (The later two are mining fighters, ugly imports but combat-viable)

Xeno guard ID can use transports. The DU5-7Y mining ship is both logical and practical, with 8 forward firing guns and a CD.

For freighters, try the X-shuttle. It is sold in the xeno guard system and can mount a torpedo.

And there are others. Xeno startracker, anyone?

Marshall, I know Xeno's generally fly Eagles.. And I know I mentioned something about the preferred ship being that of a Light Fighter variety and -NOT- an Eagle.

Griffin's probably going to be a last resort....
Waran and Roc is a Bomber
Mafic is an SHF
Mining Ship, you said it yourself, its a transport....must I point out how little it has compared to anything of a Light Fighter sort?
Dacite eh...model doesnt look fitting for what my friend's wanting stats arent anywhere close either.
Startracker can only hold 2 class 3 guns and 1 class 4. Starblazer (if thats what you meant) has only 4 Class 5s and can't even compare to what other faction's high-grade LFs can do with their better classed guns.


Marauder...would actually be a good choice if it was remodeled and kept its current stats. If someone gets below or above ya in that ship, bye bye any chances of dodging projectiles.

What about the Kingfisher?

Dacite is a Heavy Fighter. Not a Very Heavy Fighter. And it mounts class 9 faction guns. NOT the same as the basalt.

Heavy fighters are closer to light fighters then VHF's.

And starblazer has no CD, while startracker does and is more agile

EDIT: oh yeah, forgot about the Arrow

[Guest]

Dacite is a Heavy Miner, from what i can see in its turning capabilities, its rather slow, and it should go without saying (again) that the Dacite is rather unfitting to what is preferred.



Ok so a Startracker has a CD.. How would a Startracker kill something, should it run out of CDs or its opponent run out of explosives.

Also, something to take note on, Xenos are rather known for their um.... "purism" i believe is a way to describe it... so really they can only use Civillian Liberty equipment. Which includes things that -may- be Sirius-wide Civi use, but fits under Civillian Liberty because its used by Liberty Civillians

Edit: Its probably safe to assume that as far as genuine Light Fighters (meaning its a true LF Model and not just a agile/highly-agile HF / VHF sized model), Xenos have none that are on the upper end of things similar to the Liberator vs Patriot, Drake vs Wyrm, etc

[Elsdragon]

Kingfisher is a HF with VHF turning. Bad. Griffin is your only LF choice really.

You aren't. That's the whole point. Xenos are too poor to afford good ships.

You've obviously never met Sindy's Startracker Xeno.
