I took your guide and summarized it for myself. I wanted a list that indicates weapon name and classes as you have done. But I cut the info down to one line, and added all the weapon stats as per the encyclopedia (plus added a couple).

I'm sure many would like this because it's printable (formatting may be req'd). Do you mind if I post it? (you are credited in the document)

People WOULD like it. You should fire off a PM to the OP, you will be more likely to get a reply.

Sure thing.

I'd like to see it too!

Still looking for screenshots? I can put a few up.

Tenlar Scarflame · Post by **Tenlar Scarflame** » Fri, 19. Feb 10, 00:28

You certainly can.

Reason I haven't been doing it myself is I'm running a home-brewed mod on my weapons that makes them all look a bit different.

Please, pin 'em up if you have 'em. ^^ You'll get credited for the screenshot.

Here's a few. Only missing a few fighter-grade weapons. I hope I don't get in trouble for posting a bunch of pics.

If these are ok, I'll get more. I wasn't always trying to get the firing ship in the picture: the IRE's are coming from a bunch of fighter drones, for instance, and in the PBG's case... well... what's the salient characteristic of this weapon?

Looks pretty good.

I'll attach them to the appropriate parts of the guide AFTER my exam at 1:30.

And it's looking like I'll need an entry for the PALC's after all.

Never used 'em, I'll have to actually field test them.

Anyway, I also said I'd add some screenies when we had this discussion first time around... about half a year ago.

I'll go and take some Capital Weapon screenies methinks!

That ok?

I'll do (so we don't get duplicates):

PPC
IBL
IC
PSP
PSG
FAA
CFA

Nice! Now that I have a second I'll start pinning these up...

@EJ, fire away!

Looking at it, the only decent one I got was this:

PPC

I'll try more later.

Looks nice. I have but one request - could you get 'er below 640 x 480?

Excellent guide, well done. I think there's a thread here somewhere about the various ships one is likely to encounter in the X universe giving all their stats, max shield strength, speed, weapons etc...this would be very cool if this could be added to your guide and would be invaluable when deciding what ship to buy

Tenlar Scarflame · Post by **Tenlar Scarflame** » Mon, 22. Feb 10, 15:45

Thanks!

I had planned on doing a by-race/by-class, qualitative run-down of all the ships in the game, but I've let it slide. I still have the word document though... I might pick it back up ^^

Nice guide.

A little PRG Shot.

Tenlar Scarflame · Post by **Tenlar Scarflame** » Mon, 22. Feb 10, 21:04

Very nice one of the PRG.

Pinned up.

You have good timing with the PrintScr button.

Well, you don't want to know how many time i missed the right moment.

I do have one question, do you have any advanced tactics ? aka to do what you can against what specific target ect...

quoick · Post by **quoick** » Thu, 3. Nov 11, 21:32

You do know that the last post is over a year old right?

flashcactus · Post by **flashcactus** » Wed, 9. Dec 15, 00:29

You've still got the EMPC efficiency wrong. It does at least five times more hull damage per MJ than all the Commonwealth fighter-compatible guns and the shield efficiency is higher than all but the PBE.
