Re: FS1 weapon pairing of choice?
Tch. They always sed that the wings from the Bastion were the ones who destroyed the Lucifer by destroying the 5 reactors. T'was a lie, a cover up because the real story was too heroic and HOT BLOODED for them to believe. Yes, they destroyed the 5 reactors, but it was by RAMMING THEM, SCREAMING FOR BLOOD OF SHIVANS!! And the subspace corridor collapsed because IT COULD NOT WITHSTAND SUCH MANLINESS AND AWESOMNESS!!

Seriously though, I stick with twin Prometheus and Hornets. I think the Interceptor is a horrible missile. Or I just have horrible usage of it.

Re: FS1 weapon pairing of choice?
It is pretty friggin' useless against anything smaller than a transport, at least in FS1; the Port's handling of it makes it actually track targets half worth a damn.  Some might argue that that represents unfaithfulness to the original, but I'm happy to view it as making one of the core weapons of the game actually worth using again.

Damn straight. It got to the point I shunned the Interceptor totally; though even in the Port I pick the Hornet over the Interceptor.

If I'm in a Herc, I carry a bank each of Interceptors and Phoenix IV's. They're great for short range coup de grace.

Re: FS1 weapon pairing of choice?
In FS1, using dual Banshees in a Herc on lower difficulties is quite okay, but on higher difficulties, I'm better off mounting a Prometheus on the quad bank and using that only. Alternatively, the Avenger serves as a reasonably good substitute.
