Actually the Luger Ds don't fit with the Debbies..
I suggest get a level 10 shield, Mk VIII armor upgrade (on Bielefeld), 4 Luger Ds, 2 Kraken IIs (to take out Graviton shields that RM uses), Kraken turret, Nuclear Mine, Enh. CM Dropper, Train CD/Sunslayer, Nomad Thruster, Endeaver Scanner. With this loadout you still have a decent energy drain so place your shots carefully and don't spam. But when you do hit, it does good damage. If all 7 guns hit, it'll drain a fighter of half its hull, and will drop the shield to zero if its up..
AoM, I beg to differ. Though most of the Hessian lasers are pretty wimpy, the level 9 laser (Natterturn Zwei) is quite potent, on par with the Skyblast B. Not as good as a Kraken 2, but nothing to laugh at either. And their velocity is the same as the debs: 750.
The fact is, no one can say: I want to play this faction, but i don't like neither fighters nor guns of them. The result is for example a Phantom with Blood Dragon bomber and Nomad guns, as i already have seen.
This is an overacting example and i trust in Scott_Rip that he will stay to the faction equipment almost.
@ Dab: Bundschuh are not allied with Outcasts, so Krakens are not oorp, but doubtful. And why not the Enhanced Thruster, Zoners are selling, instead of an once more doubtful Nomad Thruster.
Well, I have the Luger D's and the Kraken II's, etc. I did replace one of the Lugers with a sidewinder missile, but I'll see whether or not I keep that one. For now I have a nova torpedo, but I can switch to a cruise disruptor if needed.
Staying in RP with the Bundschuh is hardest probably because they only sell one kind of gun, the Luger. I like it, but I also like options. I also think the Bundschuh should be able to have at least a few gunboats, and maybe even one cruiser. Although I think somebody playing Bundschuh already owns a cruiser.
Anyway, if we can get five or six people playing Bundschuh on at once with the Sabres, you might be able to give a good fight, but with just one or two at a time taking on Rhineland Military guys who have bought gunboats, bombers or cruisers, it gets kinda tough.
Yeah, I'm the guy with the cruiser. I also have a Sabre. Only got the cruiser because two things kept happening.. RM either mobbed me 5 to 1 everytime, or RM had a capship which I can't hurt.. The Cruiser is for purely military and defense operations. Attacks on RM, defence against attackers. My Sabre does all of the pirating (obviously) and any attacks on fighters/bombers/small targets, and hit and runs. Though when it finally comes in useful, RM flies around in circles until they can get a battlecruiser to come help, not even attacking my team's fighters, just flying in impossible-to-hit circles. I guess I just expected more honorable tactics when I treat them honorably as well..
@AoM: Bundschuh WERE allied to the Outcasts, and thats also were we get our ships. So if they sell us ships, they'd easily sell us weapons as well. Its fully within RP. We are friendly to Outcasts, neutral to Corsairs, and friendly to all pirates inside Rheinland, and allied to Red Hessiens.
And Nomad or Enhanced.
Have expected the ship argument.:D
As i said, just my opinion.
Btw, are Bundschuh allied to the SCRA? Would make sense. Then you would have access to some more ships.
Of course, if Xings models going to be implemented.
Since SCRA is a player faction, Bundschuh can never be allied to them.. If Wraith was made a player faction, not just my private little squadron that consists of me.. Then we could ally them, but not all of the Bundschuh. Plus our goals are only slightly similar. SCRA would want control of Rheinland. Bundschuh don't exactly want control, but to put a government in place that is not corrupt. SCRA would want to eventually control all of Sirius, Bundschuh wouldn't want that, so there would be conflict. They can be neutral, even friendly. Help each other out when they see each other under attack from RM, but they wouldn't make a full-blown alliance. Unioners and LWB would, but Bundschuh are political terrorists who still love their country. LWB and Unioners would take any chance to be in the upper echelons of a new government that SCRA would be in place.
BTW, sorry, but I doubt Igiss would accept Coalition ships.
