Good way to get into manageable ship combat? (To level up pilot skill)
Good way to get into manageable ship combat? (To level up pilot skill)
If'd put points into piloting earlier I might have been to level 2 in ship combat, but i've just started looking into class B and higher ship parts so I need the licenses.
I get totally wrecked most of the time in ship combat (using the Razorleaf with what upgrades I could manage with class A). I guess I could use my

Starborn Guardian II - I beat the final ship encounter by hugging an asteroid and taking out the three ships as I can, if they don't glitch themselves to death first.
my guns can take an average ship down in one pass, but shields are usually gone by then, especially if there's multiple enemies. Heh and if I do get a decent random encounter of course half the ships

Do the "Oh crap it's the Mantis" thing and run away. though i can tag one.
Are there systems that are good for grinding out some ship kills? On the ground I've taken to putting difficulty to hard.
**Oh another question - is the lockon mechanic worth it? Doesn't seemt to make much difference when i try

I actually have Vasco and a random guy from a bar on shields. The shields just get melted. I've tried soem of what you're suggesting, although I have two sets of guns that I have been trying to keep fully charged, and haven't really used missiles much. I haven't done the crimson fleet yet either i'll have to look. Thanks for the tips!
the pb30 particle auto cannon is my main weapon if i am going to destroy a ship, with the heaviest missiles i can find getting as much extra power as the ship has helping. Usually full power to the pb30 and 80% to the missiles.
If you are having trouble with getting shredded i suggest trying to fly in third person a little bit where you can see what the angles are they have on you so you can learn to avoid them. There's a lot of flying at max speed at low angles/corkscrewing you have to do to keep their hits off your shields. as soon as i see my shields getting hit unless i am boosting pass them I will be trying to evade. The one thing you don't want to do is slow down; 90% of the time when I die I am on some ships ass and he ya barely moving and I want to hold a sec to keep pounding and finish him. this is almost always a mistake if there are more than one other enemy because even two ships 1/3rd your level will melt you if you aren't moving and they have the angle. Always Be Boosting!
glad you are having fun too I really love this game
I'm definitely not moving around enough it sounds like from all the responses. I do try and boost past sometimes.
