with any missile, rapid reload is going to let you get them off faster. and firing arc will make locking on easier. this is to help a new player get more dmg done per match and hopefully add to their kill count. with that in mind one of the first upgrades you want to make on a missile ship is the reduced lock on time (usually the 1st or 2nd tier). that along with the crew change i mentioned above should make your missiles much more effective.

yes wee have a guild website exilesempire.enjin.com, and we have a mumble server as well. Drako, thanks for the feedback. the videos are little old and some of my builds have changed. also i have gotten better at power management. but with the railgun and the not zooming in on targets, i use a rollerball and have no mouse wheel for zooming. and though i don't use clusters anymore i still like the DOT on them. it keeps most ships from recharging shields. also you dont have to look for blaster power ups as often.

a stock RFL

I thought i might share some of the videos i have made during our guild starfighter event. I do a guild event once a week on the Shadowlands server. we get up 20 guildies queuing for GSF at the same time.its a lot of fun even when we end up facing each other all the time. enjoy. this one i used as one of my training videos too. hope you liked them

for you #2 if using locking missles you should have HK or Corso or ??? (i forget the Imp side version of corso) at offensive. anyway you want reduced lock on time and improved kill zone. this will help you lock on easier and faster.

bump... bots suck

Event: EMP Missile Kill on a player ship - achievement: One in a Million how about 2 kills with 1 emp missle. did that once.

but that is way the rule is you can only change your co-pilot. every1 stays with the base 4 comps. i would also like to 2nd the original point. stock night was a blast. i had a lot of fun. i will try and bring more of Clawbird Squad for the next one.

what time would that be in central US? i will try and make it. Imgawnastock or something like that Imp side

this issue needs attention NOW!

this is unreal. are the Devs really just going to let GSF die a slow death? Shadowlands has become completely unbalanced because no one wants to fly Imp side with 2-4 bots to try and carry! Can we please get some kind of official response on what if anything is going to be done about this? is there any rule about post the offenders names in here because i have a list...

i have my new pilots go with hydro spanner and shield recharge. this helps them stay alive longer when 1st starting out. once you get the hang of it then switch to a more advanced setting.

a very important upgrade when starting out is, if using any locking missles, get the reduced lock on time (usually 1st or 2nd tier). after that get 2 tiers in majors, then max minors. some ships i will max 1 part right away. ie spearpoints tensor. DF is a good one to max early too.

a T3 scout with EMP missles and tensor field can be key to winning dom matchs. this ship and build can seem pretty weak but the buffs and debuffs it puts out can really tip the balance. in death matches bombers should always be top target of T1 gunships ion splash and rail.

am I the only one who likes the T3 scout? one of my favorites for dom matches. i use: LLC, EMP missles(shield block), tensor(turning/recharge), distort, snap turn, and hydro spanners. this is a great ship for taking nodes. 1 emp to a turret spots them from shooting while you circle the sat and take them out. also clears the area of mines and disables probes. having a tensor at the start of a dom match can be key to winning by getting you teams bombers to the sats in 1 boost.

use the T2 bomber in Dom matches sometimes and my favorite build is: HLC, seeker mines, interdiction probe, interdiction drive, repair probe(w/ shield boost) and servo-jammer. the idea is to bring all near by enemy ships down to your speed and turning. also the bonus with the interdiction probe is you can have 2 out at once to cover both sides of a sat or have one at 2 different sats.

EMP field needs a shorter cool down time more like the reload time of EMP missle

my idea for fixing this problem is requiring at least 1 medal to get credit for flying in a match. but you would have to add a new medal for beginners, say doing 1000 damage in the match. call it a participant medal. maybe 500 damage. i really should not be on the players to police the matches to get rid of these guys.

however my favorite system in the nova dive/ blackbolt is EMP pulse. with that + distrot field + snap turn means you have 3 missle breaks. also very effective vs. sats, taking them over quickly.

once it is maxed you can have 2 out at once and increase the area of effect. when i was using it i would put 1 at the sat and 1 at about gunship range towards their spawn to kill off any dampening fields as well

have some pretty good tips in this video of how to use and avoid missles. to see any of my other training videos search "clawbird" on you tube. i have at least one for each class of ships. Fixentu / Idoth (pub Imgawna (imp) shadowlands

its mostly like not a "one-shot" but a battle scout with burst cannons and rocket pods in close can tear a gunship up quick. regardless of what shields they have but too the original post mines and missle drones have instant lock ons. with the right person at offensive clusters have a super short lock on and reload. also the double missle strike fighter can shoot 1 missle and lock on with the next instantly. hope that helps Fixentu / Idoth (pub) Imgawna (imp) shadowlands

your co plot can be chosen from any of the 4 crew members you have picked. an example of this is i like hydro spanner but i don' t like the offensive droids secondary stats so i use blizz or T7 at tactical and put them as copilot to free up room at offensive for HK or whoever else i want at that slot

i am very sorry to report that i will no longer be flying on the Imp side of shadowlands. having 2-4 people on a side not even trying to help makes for a very frustrating time. i have put in many many tickets on this issue, i have posted PSA's on how to vote kick, i have tried everything i can think of with no result's i will be flying Pub side for now but if this issue is not resolved i am end my subscription and find a new game. Shadowlands: Fixentu/Idoth (pub), Imgawna/Imgawnakikbuti (imp)
