Free money and cap question.

Hello - first post, and I'd like to start by thanking all these wonderful VegaStrike people, this game is fantastic and I've been hooked on it since i discovered it about a week ago.

Free money - in 0.4.3 you can sell the heavy tractors from the milspec Dodo (Clydes often sell them) and it makes you about 10k or so. Bit of a cheat but always good to help a new game off to a flying start.

Does anyone fly capital ships? I am having a bit of trouble with the turrets and ai - i have read the various posts about them, just wondered if anyone flys them and has any tips about them.

cheers, Winjer

welcome Winjer flying cap ships is possiable but not fun they are hard to manuvaer it's better to come to a full stop before turning which takes forever

as for the turrets "P" to select your target then toggle on the AI with "o" the "b" sub-unit selector to take out another ship's turrets.

Enjoy the Choice

Thanks Loki - I'll give it a bit more time but i think you might be right!

Just fancied sitting on the bridge of some huge cruiser, sipping a brandy, and directing a Lieutenant to "put one across the bows of those stupid uln". Back to the melee i think.

I've had pretty decent luck with the pd_long turrets on the Goddard... most fighters will get cooked before they're within 10km... now if only the Kahan was a bit more responsive at the helm and it were easier to turn on turret AI en-masse... 't would be grand.

I love capships, and mules, and the like, so i've decided to become the expert on Capships, and so any questions you have, please direct to me (but give me at least a week to get the info memorised)
