Missile ship - Luka - 03-06-2012 Hi Some of you may have seen how I've been asking a lot in the flood thread about what ship would be best for a missile player. Since I'm the worst shooter in the game, they're pretty much the only thing I can do damage with:lol:(especially since my pvp skills are based on panic, I'm a dodger not a marksman) When I started using missiles there were problems with it: CD-spamming dudes and ammo. Both can be negated with high armor, speed and different missile launchers, however I'm unable to find a nice ship that I can fit and use with these things:( I'm mostly searching for a ship with high defensive capability (armor and speed), powerplant doesn't matter since I'm not using guns anyways. These are the ships I've already tried out:
Hope you guys can help me out Missile ship - Mímir - 03-06-2012 Perhaps this will suit you: http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Pelican Although you can only fit 2 missile launchers on it. But you can get fast-firing transport turrets + turret view and turret steering, so you can dodge, spam missiles and keep those turrets going in the hope that your enemy will move into your fire. Missile ship - Luka - 03-06-2012 :sleep: A transport? Haven't used a pelican but is it really fast enough to not get outmaneuvered by fighters? Would be cool with Iron Hammers for turrets, but if the idea is turret viewing then it won't do, I wouldn't nor hit anything nor evade fighter/bombers shooting. Missile ship - Mímir - 03-06-2012 ' Wrote::sleep: It's slow, but the "secret" is that turret view autoaims for you + makes it easy to dodge when you turret steer. It takes a bit of practice and getting to know the ship, but turret view+steering is incredibly overpowered.

Wait what do you mean with "turret steer" now? you can steer while aiming in turret view?:blink: But if it's slow then it wouldn't work, ship is pretty big plus fighter/bomber attack and it starts eating SNACs and CDs, missiles explode on face and it gets utterly pwned, I doubt it would work....

Oh just found out it works with keyboard:laugh: Ok just tested the pelican and that thing's a gunship more than a missile launcher, been able to take on snubs allright with a stream of chainfire, but then someone brought a GB and obvious result is obvious since caps are so OP. hardly made missiles hit, though ship's nice for gunning down guys that try to mess with you, but have several people on you and you can't evade, it's like what it is, an armored transport:P STill searching for ships does anyone know of any other one? Missile ship - Luka - 03-08-2012 Um.....tested the Pelican a bit more, fitted it with small transport turrets, went to gallia and I don't know if it's normal and other people can do it too, but it eats cruisers. Takes a bit long, but I found out their hull is made of paper:P And I think that's an achievement knowing how OP are caps, I find that even a bit more stupid, why the heck can't fighters be that awesome???!:( So would also update that post too Missile ship - Ursus - 03-08-2012 I kill Gallic NPC cruisers with my Bison all day. They have a big blind spot in the engine exhaust, just pull up close and they will only hit you with a couple of their class-6 guns. edit--yeah you found it Missile ship - Bloody Reverb - 03-08-2012 Spatial :crazy: 6missiles, 1nova or anything else aaand enough turrets to even shoot if you run out of ammo .... and i am sure armor on that ship is good. Just the size of that thing is not :unsure: |
