FDL is all about picking your fights, and really doesn't do well on Hazardous RESs or USS dropping. Your biggest assets are speed (seriously, a FDL with G3 dirty drives will outrun anything that isn't a dedicated racer), manoeuvrability and that massive ventral hardpoint. Your shields WILL melt under sustained fire, and fucking fast at that, so make sure they're at full charge before you engage, and pack some booster cells, god knows every NPC does. A good rule of thumb is that a FDL can kill Big 3 ships, but it can't fight them. In a straight duel, your ass is grass. So the trick is to either wing up, or work closely with the local space cops. Oh yeah, and as soon as an enemy's shields go down, drop over to target selection and take aim for their powerplant.

The Gunship is a completely different beast, and honestly I'm still not sure if I like it much, and shouldn't have gone with a FAS instead. It's a Core Dynamics, so it's got the handling and flight characteristics of a Conex box with thrusters welded to the end, and some pretty mediocre hardpoints, but it CAN actually take some punishment without falling apart.

Would love to try a large combat ship, but I don't have the patience to grind for a Corvette, which leaves me with either an Anaconda or the dreaded Type-10. I spend more than enough time in an Anaconda exploring and don't even want to think about how much kitting one out for combat would be, and the Type-10 is...no. Shit distributor, massively huge, poor convergence on the hardpoints and almost requires multicrew to handle all that dakka.

The Chieftain is looking pretty interesting, though, definitely picking one of those up.

An engineered Anaconda is a great explorer, but yeah, it takes some work. You only really need to unlock Elvira Martuuk or Felicity Farseer and Lei Cheung, most of the other stuff is just swapping to the minimum functional internal size...and dropping 90 million on a 7A fuel scoop, that stings a bit. But with a couple good rolls you can cover 55Ly+ per jump, which makes deep-space trips a lot less of a drag. I pack a class 4 shield generator for planetary landings (with the thrusters you'll be using, anything above 1.5G gets...touchy), dual AFMUs for neutron hopping, and the usual SRV hangar and heatsinks and shit.

Almost run into the star in that quagmire over here. The central neutron star is rotating very close to the big star nearby, and while I was jumping in, I practically flew through it to landed 2 ls from the surface.

That's really just the FGS. I haven't tried the drop ship, but the other CD ships fly and fighter better than other manufacturers. I can't get over how dildos the Clipper is.

Yeah, it's good for strafing runs. Looks pimp too.

Lately I found WarLight, Risk clone flash game. Risk is an old strategic board game in which you have to conquer the world and WarLight does this with increasing difficulty levels.

Another fun strategy flash game is Dice Wars, a Risk-like game of thirty territories with up to eight competing colors. The number of dice on a territory are rolled against an opposing territory's dice and the highest roll wins. No movement of dice is allowed between territories other than by attacking as noted above. At the conclusion of each turn, the greatest number of adjoining territories you have is calculated, and you are awarded a bonus of that number of dice. They are then automatically and randomly placed throughout all of your territories, up to a maximum of eight (8) dice on a single territory.

was that sarcasm or uninformed?

i dont really know anyone who bought it for MP, even if it existed. it was all based on SP

  >>59124
Sarcasm of course.

>>59115
Its in closed beta currently. Its pretty polished and gets more polished every damn patch.

>>59119
Give it a new shot. Youll get a lot of hatchlings for the first week or two after a wipe. But right now you run into a lot of geared guys. I ran out with a tokarev and left the map (customs) with 2 sks, one of which was suppressed with optics and all that, a huge backpack full of 3 M4s, etc etc.

>>59122

I've been trying to get back into the game but man, I lost all the skill I built up when it came out and I feel like a old dude trying to skateboard.

Been playing for about a week now, fun game. That PvE defense mode is great, regenerated my Scorch and Legion pretty much off that entirely. And as much as people complain about Tone, I absolutely hate Monarch even more, fucker just will not die if the pilot is at all competent.

>if the pilot is at all competent.

Isn't that true for pretty much any Titan, though?

>>59128
Not really, no.

>>59129
Scorch is the only real Titan that has trouble with Pilots. Thermite ain't cut out for sniping Pilots the same any other Titan can. If anything, Scorch is the underdog Titan as of now.

WTB Triple Threat for Scorch in standard MP.
