X3 Combat: The Right Role (guide)

[alphalvr]

OOS stuff:

X3s OOS combat is actually better than X2s in a lot of ways but not without its problems. Any players report the problems and Egosoft have so far tried to fix them in each patch. Theres been atleast 3 patches tweaked to improve OOS combat that im aware of so far. But thats not individual changes, thats just patches that have seen OOS change. M1s and M2s have already had their shields proved. Thats 2 changes, The power generators where improved, thats 2 more changes. So you see when i say a patch has been tweaked, i am counting only patches not minor changes.

Guides and PDFs:

Actually if you go to my respawn site and look at those little icons next to the guides name you will see theres a download as pdf option there for everything on respawn.

Fleet Combat:

We really should start a new thread about this, its a huge topic and i think most of us want to see X improve this area of the game. After reading a few posts it seems we all want roughly the same things too for the same reasons.

So if somebody wants to start a new thread, please do and be sure to pm me a link because im busy right now but would very much love to take part in such a thread.

That Giskard is a very interesting article....

I have come through the ranks of X-BTF, X-Tension, and X2, and I don't get much time each week, thus I am only just over 2 days in, and don't have an M6 yet (not enough rank) and I only have captured M3's as again I don't have enough rank (although I have 30 mill enough for a few)...

I have the (free) Falcon Sentinel (2 125mw shields), a Nova and Nova Raider which make up my first major task force which I jump in to take down a group of pirates.. They are all full wih HEPT and I am wondering if I should try something different... Although they seem to do OK I think because of the Falcon's 2 massive shields..

They are only used Out of Sector... (I am still having fun in Olman.... capturing Yaki).. and I wondered whether I should try IONs on some of them along with PACS - have you any thoughts on IONS - obviously, they should get the shields down very quickly. In fact, I use 2 IONS and 2 PACs on my Pirate Buster, and it is supreme in capturing because it gets the shields down so quicky and the PACS start on the hull so much quicker than having all PACS (well that is what I seem to find)....

Would I be right in assuming that you are talking about mainly all Out of Sector work?

Thanks

This is a nice guide!

I mainly fly M5 and M4 classes. I regularly wax those groups of M4s and M3s with my crappy M5 disco. Not getting hit being the key... lol

Anyone know what's happened to the English guide? I'm getting a failed URL

It has been moved to: http://www.respawn.co.uk/modules/newbb/ ... =7&forum=9

[apricotslice]

Its also in the X3 Handbook.
