X3R Questions about Boron Hydra M6
Posted: Tue, 4. Dec 18, 23:43
Relatively early in my game and I want to buy my first M6 to deal with kha'ak clusters that spawn in sectors I have assets in or are used by my assets
I want to be able to jump in and quickly deal with them
To me they are a nuisance - not fun
I had problems with the kha'ak in X2 because I could find no ship fast enough to dog fight them
and no weapon I could equip that had ordnance that was fast enough to catch them (I never managed to get the Xenon beam thing)
So it was impossible to dog fight them or target them (except the bigger guy at the center of the pack)
I dealt with them by standing off and taking them out one by one with wasp missiles
They never knew what hit them; it was effective and efficient
And I guess it suited me;I dont play the games for the combat so much as the economic simulation
I like the stats of the Boron Hydra and I have a couple of questions that some may be able to answer
Can the Kha'ak be engaged in a Hydra or are they too fast like in X2?
Is there a weapon fast enough to target them?
Would the wasp missiles work in X3 - I think I read somewhere they are different in X3
If not a wasp, what missile would kill a Kha'ak fighter in one shot (the ones that buzz around at lighting speed)
It needs to be able to track a moving target
Also finally - I dont like the look of the Hydra - is there a reskin for the Hydra?
I would want solely a graphics replacer that would not alter the stats or mark my game as modded
Thanks for any suggestions
