Best Starships...

For me the Abbidon battleship III, I like how it can fire both front and back. Also I like how strong my shields are, I don't worry about moving around astroids I just go through them .

Ditto with Mr.Sefter! Abbidon all the way. Tachyon cannons around me. But... for heavier weapons I have to go with the plasma torpedo's. Mianly because the quantum and the plasma torpedo are sooooo close in damage they out do each other some way. If you use the plasma torpedo(40kt) vs.the quantum torpedo(50kt) you will save space. Lets say 20kt, that allows more other componets you could put on!

I forgot one thing that all of you would agree on. Null space beats all torpedo's hands down .

No arguments here. Love those things.

Xiati Battleship III all the way... it has near 100% coverage.

I load it up with 2X Tachyon cannons, an ionic disperser, 4X toxic injectors, emissive armor.

Hell it's great slowing the enemy with the disperser and rough it up a bit with the tachyon cannons, then give it a final blow of 4X toxic injectors.

Well, I suppose I'm wierd but I like the Abby Carrier simply because of the 500-600 extra tons and the fact that I rarely need more then the weapons it has on it to kill any ship in the game.

Simply put, I eat other ships in one volly of pychic flailers and Toxic injectors. I have Null cannons or Plasma on the front (Null) or side (Plasma) to fire first at longer range so the PDC shoot at that missle and the Tox missle gets through every time. Normally it takes 2 missle for a cruiser and below, 3 for a battleship or 2 missles and a twin burst of flailer.

I have yet to see any ship survive a full salvo from my carrier and I don't even use fighters. They seem like a waist of credits to me. Rather use the extra tonnage for defensive gear and repair bots.

Would be neat to be able to play against other players and test my config out. I'm currently level 32 gear and nothing can touch me. Even the null cannons do jack to me (minor damage that is fixed in 2-4 ticks).

I have to really say that I am convinced crew killing is the way to end an enemy ship's existance faster then any other. I never expect the plasma torps to hit, I only use them to pull the PDC fire for the Toxic Injectors. Then, flail away to end the battleship or larger, nothing below that survives the missles.

Base stations are boring as hell and I don't really count them. You simply pop a plasma out the tube, then the Null Cannons, watch all the PDCs fire at the plasma letting the NCs go into the ship and after 10-20 NCs, the station is blowing up...yawn.

Now, I want to clarify, I have only played the game on the hardest level without any mods and one thing I know from SEIV Gold is the MODS change things TREMENDOUSLY.

Which is why I am here today...hunting for mods..lol.

But I figured seeing how nobody has said they like the carriers, I would chime in.

Hmm. You know it occurs to me bases in Starfury don't get the main advantage they do in SE4- mounts.

It'd be a lot harder to kill a base if the sucker was firing on you from more than your normal range with harder hitting weapons..
