Police Factions - Ment to Fail?

[Dantrithor]

Take your 3 Light fighters. Pop them up against a missile equipped cruiser.

Seemingly normal day:

I fought in my LPI (indep) character against a 522th battlecruisre for an hour.. or more, while calling for support (God save Gafwmn. Better late than never).

Also fought for a while a gunboat while waiting for support to come. Nukes come in handy for this.

Killed a 522 nova pilot alone when he decided to pop around.

Was killed by a gb with a pair of missiles when i forgot i was in a liberator, and not in my raven claw. Ouch.


Those pesky light fighters are useful. The least, you force the enemy to remain engaged till you call for support. And your mobility guarantees you will not be hit, and can actually arrange support and the like. Something like a close AWACS.

By the way: I discovered a LF can actually cause shield damage to a BC and beat it's regen...

PD: With a little practise im sure LPI officers could be killing machines if required. A swarm of 4 should be able to destroy gunboats. Missiles are not a problem, he focuses on you, missile warning, wait till alarm says it's close.. EK+turn 90deg+thrust. Missile dissapears. And i dont say BPA and the like because i only have experience with slipstream and liberator, so i cant throw opinions on the others.
