Sooo... what's everyone's favoured ship?
I've found myself abandoning the Perseus for the Myrmadon, although if I can get my hands on an Ares I take it :D
Bombers? I've always been partial to the Sekmet :)
-
light fighter: Horus
Heavy Assualt Fighter: err... dunno.. I like most of them.. except for herc MkII
Bombers: Ursa
-
Hmm
Interceptors: Valkyre/Perseus (wish it was a as fast as the Valk though).
I love the Myr but I seem to be shot down all the time when I play it in Multiplayer or insane in single player :(
Heavy Assult: Erinyes
Bombers: All the Vesudan bombers and the Myr :)
-
Ares.
-
FS1: APOLLO
FS2: Ares
Long live the Apollo!

I assume by multiplayer you mean local area network correct? I thought PXO was no longer. One more thing, this isn't the topic bring this up but I'm having a problem with FS2. When ever I try to view the weapons in the Technical Database FS2 crashes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Not lan but TCP/IP with some old FS playing pals and a few servers that I happen to know.
You can also get the multi FS open patch...
-
Heavy Assault and Space Superiority.
-
Tood-O-Love
:nervous:
-
Favorite? Hard to say since most ships are made better/worse by the situation. Anyway, in order:
Serapis-Perseus-Tauret-Thoth-Herc2/Erinyes-Ulysses-everything else.

Ok... So how do I get in a server? I already registered at that site. Plus do I need any up to date patches or anything? Cause I just recently got a Sci Fi Edition directly from the Interplay building through Ebay. And no I'm not lying about getting it from the Interplay building.
-
Airborne: Find the sticky in the SCP forum about fs2dnet being up.
More or less it goes like this.
Register at the website.
Use a recent build (see the thread)
Download the .cfg file (the thread again)
Remove all .tbl 's from your root, and /data folders, plus install LS's fixes or remove speffects.vp from the root
Make a multiplayer pilot profile
Use your registration login as your PXO login (options menu-multiplyar)
Login when someone else is online and get pWnED by people in Erinyes that lag-shoot kaysers out of their ship's nether regions instead of actually pointing at you like decent folk... :hopping:
-
Gotta be the Erinyes.
/wishes people could spell "Erinyes"
// also wishes the original FS2 designers could have used the singular, as it's the only fighter with a plural name

In addition to the instructions mrfun kindly posted, Svizel has put up quite nice multi help on the TEAMWARS site:
http://www.teamwars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=567
Cya in space ;)
-
Thats a great post!!! :eek2:
Is it yours??
-
Huh, JDJ :)
That teamwars thingy was made by Svizel (BDHR).
L8r, it almost morning here - gotta sleep some now. .
-
All hail the Herc.
-
Fighter: Apollo forever. It never died in my heart.
Bomber: It begins and ends with the Ursa, although I like the Zeus, also.
Oh yeah, all Vasudan ships can bite me. :ick:

I'll have to have a chat with him about putting it up on the Wiki.
The only problem I have with it is that it will age very quickly (look at the guide to installing FS2_open in my sig. It's only a few months old!"
-
FS1: Valkyrie
FS2: Perseus or the Loki.
I also like the Ulysses.
-
Uly.
Out-dodge. anything.
Favourite Bomber - The Artemis D.H.
Vasudan ship - Toth (the small one thats insanely hard to hit)
Vasudan Bomber - Sekhmet :D
-
FS1: Dragon, I just love "special" ships. And the Valkyrie. Uly wasn't bad either.
FS2: Perseus. Erinyes (It's ugly but it's fun to shoot fighters with aimed single shots.
Bombers: I like the Zeus, it's fast and I also like the design.
The worst ship ever is the Boanerges.
I'm kinda diapointed in the Herc 2.
-
SF Mara. No contest. :D
Of course I'm a Shivan fan so I might be a little biased! :D

Would be a helpful thing there :yes:

Yes, thats the (kind of positive) problem when things develop as fast as they do here (but let's not slow it down just to cope with that :) )
Apparently Sviz has been committed to keep that thing up-to-date (GW!) I trust someone will be quick to complain about it at TW site, if it falls behind :D

I'll go against your Mara in my Uly anyday :P
-
Gha! I DESPISE the Ulysses. Case in point - the Game of Tag misison. I took one (yes, only one) Shivan missile to the nose (with front shields at full), and not only did it blast the shields down, but it also gave me a pile of hull damage AND knocked out my sensors. That was a fun 30 seconds, waiting for the blasted support ship to show up and fix the sensors.
Give me an Ares or Herc II any day (haven't played very much with the Erinyes, but it seems nice to).
For bombers, I like the Zeus bet, I think.
-

Amen to that. How dare the GTVA remove two primary banks from a heavy assault fighter and call it an uprgrade? I'd sooner fly the original.
-
The Herc II can carry more warheads is faster(slightly) and smaller. At the sacrifice of two primary banks.
-
Big whoop. Long live the real Herc! :p
-
I don't take care of it at all. I do not like any of the Hercules fighters. They are too slow to survive anything.
-
You guys ought to make a chat room in here. It'd make alot of things much easier.
-
The Ulysses - the ship for masochists or for boared Aces who like to play with one hand tied behind their backs ;)
-
Valkyrie & Erinyes.
-
Serapis, Apollo and a few others.
I liked the Herc Mk3 as well.
-
Pegasus. Out-dodge the uly and kill things using a pea-shooter
-

Since when was there a Mk. III?
-
I think that means the Ares.
-
The Herc III is a reskin of the Ares. In case somebody did not know previously.
-
there's a HercIII, three actually... But there are not made by :V:
-
It is obvious. :p
-
yeah, how stupid of me... :p
-
The Horus. I'm talking looks here. I mean, look at it, it's the freaking Lamborghini of Freespace! And the Seth, obviously a Porsche. And the Mentu. Not something I'd be on in wartime, but cruising around in my own personal Mentu space yatch? Oh yeah. The vasudans may be butt-ugly, but they are true masters of compensation :D
-

That's the one. I think it's in the Aincents Pack.
The Horus is a classic 'innit ?
-
Seth. Period.

A Mentu as a yacht? :cool:
Not a bad idea.

That's the least surprising statement I heard today.
-
I've always said the Seth was the most well balanced ship in the game. It ownz.
-
This is why I said your statement is least surprising. :rolleyes:
*goes to bed*
-
I just didn't know how you meant that. :p
"Typical Snipes" or "I agree completely" :p
-
Fighters: Perseus, Ulysses
Heavy Assualt: Erinyes
Bomber: Artemis
Hit 'em fast and hit 'em hard!:D
-
The Artemis is crap. It has no weapon energy to speak of.
-
I don't know about you, but the Seth does seem to own in furballs.
-
FS1: GTF Apollo
FS2: GVF Tauret
-

That's absolutely not true. It has weapon energy, just not much. :)
See it from the nice side: It can fire more rapidly than any fighters with 4 primaries except for the Thoth.
-
You can't hit **** with the Artemis. The guns are far too far apart.
-
FS1 Seth
FS2 Erinyes
-
Athena, Ursa, Ares and Erinyes. Or Valkyrie.
Pick one and own them all...
Especially with the great lighting bomber ;)
-
I also liked the Athena. Its only setback that it becomes obsolete when the Tsunami appears. And it becomes even more obsolete when the Medusa is developed.
-
The Artemis has fine energy for its job (strafing runs on a capship, not dogfighting) and It is the only bomber I can fly with ease because others are so slow.
Both Hercs suck!
-
Seth and Myrmadon 0wn j00.
USe the Seth for Heavy Assault, and pack a Myrm full of Helios for bombing runs... Viola. :p
-
It's Myrmidon, not Myrmadon. :D
-
no, it's "ugly mofo"
isn't the one that can carry Helios/Cyclops, through some quirky bug ?
-
Only the Helios.
-

pft! oh, is that all ? Guess it really does suck then huh ?
ignore me, I'm in a silly mood!
-
And it isn't a bug, it's an easter egg. It would have had to be farily explicit to put "Helios" in as an allowed weapon.

Unless someone meant Harpoon and got confused.

I'd take you up on that challenge if I could be A) arsed to play online with the limited time I have and B) the servers allowed player-flyable Shivan ships. :)
-
sounds like an excuse to me.:p
you afraid Singh might kick your arse huh ? :p :p
*OMG! a few more posts and I hit the bag o' sand!!*
-
Hmm the Uly can carry the dogfighting version of the HL-7 so its pretty good in multiplayer :).
--
Yeah I find it really strange that the Myr can actually carry (of all bombs) Helios warheads. Which is of course exploited to death in Multiplayer - OMG U HAXXORS!!!! :).
-
mg1: Nah, not an excuse. Just a lack of time and resources. :)
-
Mkay, tricky one, this...
Fighters:
Valkyrie (Intercept)
Athena, Herc1/2 (general) (The Athena's crap as a bomber, but it's a good heavy fighter!:D)
Ares (Assault)
Mara (Everything!)
Bombers:
Artemis DH, Hydra* (*from Derelict) (assault/ missions with limited fighter cover)
Sekhmet (blowing things up)
The Erinyes is a piece of ****. The Apollo rocks, but it can't carry any decent guns, so it loses out...
