Re: Ship Capabilities vs Pilot Capabilities

Captain Havoc Viper Mk4 makes your piloting even more impressive. I tend to over rely on my pitching ability and this is not a good thing to do on the FDL. I go backwards with the FDL fine but it is just slugging at that point. Would love to wing up thanks :). I'll bring my Orange Courier (official ...

Re: Ship Capabilities vs Pilot Capabilities

I also have an Advanced Plasma on my FDL :) (soon will have the Hammers and already have Prismatics on it). My RP is as a special for hire Imperial Bounty Hunter. The charge for my services is the special weapons. So I do job (PP merits) for 4 weeks then switch powers...you keep the special weapons ...

Re: Ship Capabilities vs Pilot Capabilities

Edit - upon a reread of the op I would like to ask Captain Havok how it was done. Sounds like more skill than I am using maybe :shock: I have found it is all about having max pips to engines and then getting and staying in a dominant position - at which point you switch to attack the powerplant spec...

Re: Please introduce yourself.

Hi I am mid-forties and loved the original Elite on the Commodore 64. I have an FDL with railguns and a 320 shot advanced plasma with prismatic shields. So if you can put up with me going back to base more than usual for ammo I would like to wing up. I like the sim aspects of the game a lot and I ha...

Re: Missiles and Torpedoes: Are they worth it?

For quick destruction of a single target when their shields are already down then torpedoes are great. You can fire more than 1 at once. Damage is a bit mixed but generally very very large. It seems that if you fire at point blank range then point defense fails, I think. I use them on my Stealth Imp...

Re: The Imperial Eagle Loadout Thread

Good to know about the silent running, thanks!

Yes I agree about it being best for single opponents.

That said the fun factor is 10/10 trying to fly it like that video (prev page) :)

Re: The Imperial Eagle Loadout Thread

Good points! I would love to know how effective silent running is...I have tried it twice and I am unsure. I keep all my ships at one station and was planning to use the Imperial Eagle to do specific bounty hunter missions. For these I think the Imperial Eagle needs torpedoes because the target can ...

Re: The Imperial Eagle Loadout Thread

I am trying to copy this guy who can bring down FDL cmdrs in PVP - with a Stealth Imperial Eagle! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOHyaE8lX-o This is how I tried to achieve what he does (maybe a slight slight difference?): - you don't install shields you instead put hull upgrades - make 2 identical ...
