Mass Driver and Ion Disrupter

[Digital_S]

I have never used the ion disrupter and i was wondering if its any good

I really like the mass driver as its really good at taking out khaak, well the m4's and m5's anyway
m3's are a lil bit harder and usually require the help of a missle up the butt

any way

ion disrupter = any good??

The Ion Disruptor is good for taking out the shields and equipment of multiple ships(the beam jumps from ship to ship), the disadvantage of the weapon is that it makes no distinction between friend or foe - ie. "friendly fire". Also this is the weapon to use for stunning Spaceflys(in conjuction with a Spacefly Collector).

Cheers,

It seems to me the Ion and mass driver are an ideal combo. Each specialises in one area and is extremely effective in that area. I have yet to test the mass driver but the ion disrupter is great. Trouble is i keep losing my police licence because of it

You get the spacefly collector from split equipment docks.

I'd think a person would use one or the other. Not both. Seeing as how they do the opposite of each other.
What's the point of direct hull damage and direct shield damage used at once?

Ion thing I found is sorta overpowered. Compensated nicely with it bouncing around and hurting everyone.

they do direct opposites, that is the reason WHY you'd use them. Hit em with the Ion disruptor, while firing a couple 100s rounds of Mass driver in thier hull and then you get to see the nice blow up sequence One takes out shields, the other hull, and i'm betting your thinking that since the mass driver cuts through shields (it does) but thats no fun i like looking at both of the bars being absolutly gone right before explostion.

Dumb question (as I don't have X2 yet, I'm waiting for the EU version):
What's the RoF (Rate-of-Fire) for the Mass Driver? Does it stutter like an old rifle or burst like an AK47 on fire?

[stlgamer]

If I am correct the mass driver goes directly through the shield and damages the hull, so why would you want to bring the shields down if you shoot right through em?

Like a chaingun.

Some people don't like shields.
