Bad Ass Ship

Post by Captain{}Blood »

What is the baddest meanest heavy fighter with plenty of speed and agility. In general a good Swiss Army knife for escort, clearing and general dirty work. I also need a fast freighter for hauling the crap from one place to the next with a cloak so I can maximize my profits and haul the stuff that is not on the "A" list.

welcome Captain{}Blood that is a very subjective question we each have different priorities but the Goddard is a good heavy fighter bomber the cargo space ain't bad either like all heavy ships she is not very agile but the turrets make up for that 8)

Enjoy the Choice :)

Tip for you: Buy a big whale of a freighter, use it as a cargo vault, and use your fighter or whatever to cruise around.

As for your other questions, I'd recommend a stock heavy fighter. For one thing, they're usually cheaper, and for another, you cannot trade out the radar or reactors on milspec craft. Beyond that, I have liked the Ariston, the Areus, the Zhuangzong, the Lancelot, and my brother sings the praises of the Franklin. Bear in mind, that's intended for anti-ship fighting, against nothing larger than a Pirate corvette. Taking out installations I have no experience with.

Then I suppose is what I need then is an anti cap ship and then an anti fighter or find a well equipped wingman with the ability to lug down cap ships. Actually, when multiplayer is released, start a squadron.

Actually, my well-equipped Lancelot can take out most capships, though it has, as noted, only taken out Pirate Corvettes. Regardless, it's competent against most capships. Heck, just find something with a cloak and space for torpedoes; snipe off the turrets, then get a few klicks out and launch torpedoes at it.

Well I tend to Kamakaze into enemie Capital ships/stations and eject just before my ship hits them..

So any ships that big and fast is good enough for me... :wink:

I am having a helluva time trying to get the cash for a decent ship, It seems I pissed a few too many people off and now the juicy cargo runs are few and far between and I have two empty weapon mounts that will not accept guns. Is there a sav hack to fix the ship , rught now I only have a pair of razors in the llama medium mounts and nothing in the lights also I cannot seem to get a decent reactor in the thing so I can survive a fight without running, in fact that is all I do now is run since I am in no shap to fight with barely 800000 credits to work with

Everytime I do cargo missions, I get chased by nearly every faction I come across! Even though THEY wanted me to deliver the "contraband".

go figure this, I was doing a cargo run to a bio diverse planets and what happened to be on clearance, a Goddard! For ten credits! I am no fool but I sapped it up faster than you can say Ets_Crb, this bad bot holds 32 torpedos, and somethinn like forty missiles and two long turrent pods. With the bonus of a little hold capacity. granted it is not the fastest thing around, but it sur made short work of a priate corvette.
