Nimbus Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I think something is wrong with me. I started playing with the Sunflash, and no no matter how hard I try, i can't bring myself to start a new game with any other ship. I tried starting a game with a stormcarrier, and I alt-q'd halfway through my first hyperjump.Should I incrementally switch to slower ships or what? I WANT to command a carrier, but the Sunflash has RUINED my attention span. Ruined it utterly. If any of you could post on how I might brainwash myself to better appreciate slower yet amazingly powerful ships, i'd be most grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Blake Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 yes, I too had the same problem,rp *stands up* Hi, my name is blake, and I have been off the sunflash for 2 days. *everyone else* Hi blake. *sits down* /rpyes, just get yourself psyched up about having fighters and more marines to command, and go with a megaron, it's almost as good as a sunflash and has fighters.then, slowly, transition on to larger, slower ships, till you get to a stormcarrier,(which I havn't even tried yet, although I have destroyed a few)[ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Hal-9000 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Nova Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 You newbs need to learn patience. Not everyone's going to have a Sunflash in multiplayer. Get used to the Super Cruiser class of ships. Those are the ones that will most likely populate the multiplayer universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus Posted December 31, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Been playing with the Megaron, I like it muchly. But now I have an unrelated question if I may ask it here. How does one get a reward for delivering ships to a station? I've delivered hostile disabled fighters to a station and gotten nothing, do I have to deliver bigger ships to get money or what?

Epsilon 5 Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I've been playing with almost nothing but the sunflash. Load it with a pad and lots of vagrants/ralix/warriors/hyperdynes/bugnors and the galaxy will be yours. As I raider I captured EarthStar, Genesis, Gazer1, GHQ, Starpath and Orion, and destroyed ISS and Wraith. I'm waiting for the opportunity to retry capturing them Then slowly eating the rest of the terran quadrant... then credian... then syrion... then gammulan! MOUHAHAHA!And it's (will be) my officially assigned ship Everything bigger is too slow for me.[ 12-31-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aevlom Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Try commanding at the helm of a Warmonger next. So far, the Warmonger is my ship of choice... Great shields/armour, rapid main guns, and quick to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Mudge Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I must agree with you guys, I love the little bugger. I've been trying to get the hang of the super cruisers but I just keep coming back.Great ShipCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Nova Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 If you guys are looking for a carrier, try the Violon. It's comparable to a Super Cruiser in speed and manuverability. Like a baby BCMK2 or a super-Warmonger. If I ever have a Carrier, that would be one of the top choices for me.[ 12-31-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blades Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Sunflash. Excellent little picket ship. Impressive firepower and maneuverability but sod all use on a long haul. Stick with it if you're staying close to home or dont mind being boarded and spaced by Raiders/Insurgents and other undesirables. Upgrade to somthing with bigger if you're planning on taking out a Gamm station though. You probably wont survive the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Blake Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 rpHi jeffery, don't feel bad, the sunflash is such a powerful ship, it's addicting, just try not to use it.I myself, am terribly damaged in a megaron, and I feel great, because I"m not using a sunflash.Next game, I will try to use a super cruiser, they seem cool.../rp[ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Hal-9000 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 5 Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I don't know... I haven't had any intruder problems... my intruders are like 3@12ai and 2@8ai, or around that, but I can take on 3 intruders and not lose a single marine.. 4 intruders, get wounded personnel... 5... I still win, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus Posted January 1, 2002 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Well, I fell off the wagon. Playing on the Megaron lasted a few short hours, until I went back to my Sunflash... i couldn't help myself......i'm so weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
