Re: Dream Fighter - Standard Gauntlet (FS1 style)
You're obviously wrong.

Osiris is the best bomber. Ever. Forever.

Also, the loadout for the Erinyes if I remember correctly is;

Top Bank; Prom S
Low Bank; Kayser

Actually, the standard loadout by the game was the standard Subach/Prom R.  AS for those picks, i'd rather go with Kasyer+Maxin gun, even given the Erinyes's slightly better tham mediocre energy bank.

Quote
Top Bank; Harpoon/Rockeye when former not available
Low Bank; Tempest

Standard Harpoon+Hornet combo.  Either that or two banks of rockeyes.

Anyways, for FS1, The Apollo is pretty decent at survivng, while having decent speed and maneuverability.  Good all around fighter.  Bomber should obviously be the Athena, even given lack of Prom support.

FS2: Myrmidon or Erinyes.  Both have excellent primarys, and can mount Subachs, Prom S, and Kayser, and are very surviable ships.  Bomber: Atemis D.H.  Yes, it's not really better, but the darker colour makes it harder to hit the thing for the first few shots.


Of course, the regular gauntlets are for pussies. You're looking for the STV Gauntlet.

I can't argue with this.  :yes:


You seem to think my loadout choice was open for interpertation.

Hahahahahaha.

Weak sauce, I can beat all 3 gauntlets with a GVF Ptah on insane difficulty.

No need to shut up, I just found it cute. Cute, and amusing.

Re: Dream Fighter - Standard Gauntlet (FS1 style)
I beat all the gauntlets with an Erynies.

primaries: 1.) Kayser
                 2.) Maxim (for that annoying cruiser that pops)

secondaries: all tornados.

Re: Dream Fighter - Standard Gauntlet (FS1 style)
Why are so many left out?

I vote Sekhmet for the reasons Shade posted. In multi dogfight, it works best with two banks Rockeye, 1 Tempest, and Morning Star. My other choice would be the Ares, with Trebs, Tempest, Kaysers.
