Wanton use of nukes and the path to galactic conquest!

Just to make life easier lets keep it simple:

1. Preferred ship. You'd probably want to be keeping them at least attainable. I'm only buying Teladi ships and secondhands so anything else will have to be begged/borrowed/found/stolen.
2. Shipname
3. Preferred weapon loadout, Main/Turrets. Being all professional piratical types naturally you will all eschew the use of PBG, space-fuel is for drinking not setting fire to.

4. Preferred missile loadout and launch percentage. Pick wisely or blow yourselves up.
5. Preferred role. Interceptor,escort,bomber,etc.
6. Marines is an option for those that like the big risks.
7. If marine, pick a race.

GIVE MEH A SPRINGY!

Considering Springy's speed and overall fighter defense I am really curious if NS would be able to pull off a capture operation for one of them. I mean it almost outruns the pods...

A stock standard Perseus.
HEPT up front and a PAC up back.

A few thunderbolts on board (30% fire rate).

Stick me on a carrier/m7/tm with a few buddies to use as a strike squad, heavy fighter wing.

Use Spectral as a Alias. Angry Argonian exile.

1. Gannet (this was the teladi M7M, right?)/Heavy Osprey
2. "Providence"
3. Gannet - self-explanatory, Heavy Osprey - I don't have the game running on my PC atm, but hey - EBC up front, PAC everywhere else set for missile defense (if that's possible - as I said, don't have the game running and don't remember the possible weapon loadout by heart, sorry

)
4. Gannet - self-explanatory with 75% launch percentage, Heavy Osprey - Wasps and the 30k-warhead swarm missiles (non-dumbfire) (don't remember name, sorry

- reason see above ) with, say, 25% launch percentage. (I'm not the missile spammer I used to be

)
5. Preferred role: Flagship escort
6. no thanks

7. Argon (see above)

Character Name: Olterin Fire (heh, you'd probably need a last name anyway

). This pilot's a bit moody at times, beware.

You must've missed this part: "3. ...Being all professional piratical types naturally you will all eschew the use of PBG, space-fuel is for drinking not setting fire to. "

Unless you don't know what 'eschew' means.

1. any falcon will do
2. The Snowman
3. PBG - yess, but i'll help myself with whatever you got
4. missile choice: up to the boss
5. combat role

Megamolanius · Post by **Megamolanius** » Tue, 28. Jul 09, 20:01

This is my main preference, if you don't run into one then any other Paranid M3 or M4(+) will do. Just change role and fitting according to capabilities of the ship.
1.Ship: Perseus Raider
2.Name: Shock effect
3.Weapon layout: 3xHEPT,5xEBC,1xPAC
4.Missiles: 40xWasp, 20% fire probability
5.Role: interceptor/auxiliary dog fighter

Edit: There is a findable 'Advanced Perseus' which is in essence a raider with twice the shield. If no-one else claims it then it would make me a happy raider

Brand83 · Post by **Brand83** » Tue, 28. Jul 09, 20:08

Well, might as well repost mine since it should be an easier format for you.

1.Something yellow-I have no idea if it's viable but you somehow found a pink ship

2. "Short Bus"
3. I'm flexible
4. Well... if you do find the ship it IS known as "Short Bus" so I guess a 100% launch rate on whatever you put in it should work.
5. Just depends on the ship you find in that color. However, missiles may offer quite an opportunity.
6. However, while waiting on the impossible ship I can do a stint in the marines.
7. Argon

Prutz0r · Post by **Prutz0r** » Tue, 28. Jul 09, 20:11

I'm going easy on this.

Pilot name: Guybrush Threepwood. (Run in fear at mention of my awe-inspiring name-ness)
1. Falcon Hauler/Sentinel (2x 200 MJ I like

2. Shiver me timbers!
3: Main 4xEBC 4xHept (8 EBC eat through ammo) turret PRG.
4. I like tempests, quite a decent boom

But only on Sentinel variant. 60K shield of my hauler is a bit too much. Otherwise, silkworms will do just fine. Hell, any missile'll do fine.
5. Since I'm generally inclined to get into trouble, I'll go with interceptor.
6+7 Well, if a ship is lacking, I´ll gladly spacewalk to show anybody what a fearsome and mighty pirate I am.

Well, you are doing the plots after all:

1. I will take the Vidar Fully upgraded and full shields offcourse

2. The Devestator
3. Full M/AM Launchers up in the front and offcourse in the up and down the EMPC's
4. Give me those Wraith missles (30%)
5. Spectator from a distance (better give me the video enhancement goggles )

(no serious "heavy duty" interceptor)
6. No room for them, put some ammo for the M/AML in those bunks
7. -

p.s. Keep up those great tales (have read them all)

TBV · Post by **TBV** » Tue, 28. Jul 09, 20:22

1. Falcon Hauler
2. Slimoblitz
3. 5x PAC
4. 1x lasertower
5. Mobile point-defence

DR_Junior · Post by **DR_Junior** » Tue, 28. Jul 09, 20:25

Since nobody picked the obvious, and knowing your love of nuke...

Licensed M8 pilot for hire. My wages are minimal, I simply like to blow stuff up.

1/ Peregrine if you buy one, or whatever M8 you get your hands on and intend to keep.
2/ "Blow me, I'm Famous"
3/ Couple PRG for missiles defense.
4/ Tomakaboom...and a couple fighter drone just in case. (edit : 0% launch rate....will wait for barrage command)
5/ Bomber obviously.

Shall we take bet on survival of all these volunteers ? I might have a winner here

(Ofc don't rush it, I'll just wait you get your hands on one, they are a bit expensive, don't drop easily, and serves no purposes without a good chunk of missiles)
