Guest gogoblender Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 How bout Heavie Fighters fer crashing and small lasers fer defending. What do you guys think? Since there's not such thing as a "battle" but instead a battle in "x" area ...either crashing someone else or defending if caught off guards... Wouldn't subsituting heavies in our fleet comp for crashing another fleet and putting small lasers for defending do the job better? gogo Link to comment
Highlander 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You know a while ago I would never had thought that HF were much good for anything, But since I built up a bunch, I think they're just great. Great for fodder - much tougher than LF And they can hold their own against some pretty heavy defenses. I haven't build any lights in a while, just heavies... I think they're well worth the investment. Link to comment
Guest gogoblender Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Believe it or not my biggest problems with the lights is that they're so obvious. The little buggers bloat up yer fleetscore so fast and flash out loud to everyone: "Hello, I'm here...come crash me please!" Definitely not fer a lazy player like me I've been runnin heavies through sims now over and over...and highlander you hit it on the head. The things are tuff. Tuff... but expensive And...if we're using em as fodder to crash instead of the lights...you acquire fodder-immunity v.s. cruisers AND you conk out all the other Walmart lightfigters on the block! gogo Link to comment
Kelyndra 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I'm currently building up a fleet, and when talking to Rik, he mentioned the same thing. It seems the HF are the way to go. I'll have to add some to my fleet compliment before all is said and done. Link to comment

cyclops 15 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 yep HF's are quite good and I think I have one of the biggest compliment in Uni 9 Small Cargo 2052 max Large Cargo 528 max Light Fighter 44037 max Heavy Fighter 10000 max Cruiser 4471 max Battleship 2701 max Colony Ship 3 max Recycler 2379 max Espionage Probe 619 max Bomber 255 max Destroyer 125 max Link to comment
Firefly 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have 2000 of them..... I want more. Great for crashing defences with no GC/PC. Little bit hungery on the ole duet, but well worth it. I build in a 1:4 ratio HF:LF Link to comment
Anestty 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I fully agree.. I stopped building LF some time ago - Its now HF and Cruisers (to take out LF ) for me. Nice count you got there Cykes.. awesome Link to comment
Guest gogoblender Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Bah! Bombers R teh r()><x0rzzzz!1111OneJuan omg, llama are you okay? Waht's that coming out of your mouth Somebody Halp! gogo Link to comment
Guest gogoblender Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Gak, sorry for the double post. Yeah I think that's the way...cruisers and hfs at this point in the uni. Most of us I guess can afford the upgrade to using hfs as fodder in an older uni, and I think that that's waht's happening now as well. An upgrade to better fodder for crashing other fleets, production permitting gogo Link to comment
