What's your enforcer build?
« on: July 09, 2012, 10:41:03 AM »



Mounting 5 Heavy Maulers and 4 Swarmer SRMs, this Enforcer packs a quite big punch. I set all the maulers to alternating to make sort of an machinegun and limit the flux usage to not drain the entire flux in a few seconds. It also lacks the ability to protect itself properly, but can ward off lighter frigates and most fighters/bombers easily with those swarmers. The swarmers are also quite good at punching through holes in the armor. Alternativly, you could remove the swarmers and replace them with more vents/capacitors or more hull mods.
Remember though that this build is an dedicated anti-cruiser/cap build, and can, with some support, dent a big hole in an capital ships, possibly even killing it. If you really want more killing power, you could replace the swarmers for Reaper/Atropos torpedoes, at the expense of the fighter defense.

Like it? Tell me yours now :D

My favorite all-rounder build is:

Max vents

-2x Flak on sides
-2x Hypervelocity in diagonals
-1x Heavy Mauler on front
-4x Harpoon

Elite crew is a necessity for good accuracy here. Raise shields only as necessary, and maneuver to keep yourself from getting swarmed. Frigates die very quickly, you outgun and outrange most destroyers, fighters and missiles get eaten by flak, and HVDs do enough damage to shields at range that you can force them down on cruisers relatively quickly. Four Harpoon launchers can pose a serious threat even to a Dominator.

usually 3 chainguns and 2 flak with 2 sabot and 2 harpoon for general combat role

once tried 4 sabot and 5 mauler for an oversized bomber build

^that thing was badass, it killed an odyssey while barely taking any damage

2x Flak on sides
2x Heavy mauler
1x Heavy Autocannon
4x Rockets (I absolutely love these!)

I'll switch to 1 mauler, 2 autocannons when fighting tri-tach.

Annihilator rocket launchers, the small version only, though, since the Enforcer can't support the medium version (i assume!). :)

That. I can't have an Enforcer in my fleet that doesn't mount 4 rocket launchers. Flak Cannons on the sides, Assault Chainguns in the diagonals, Heavy Needler or HVD in the middle slot.

One mauler in the middle slot, two HVDs beside it, and flaks covering the far left and right.  I have a mix with the missiles, usually single harpoons and the rest to capacitors, sometimes I have torpedoes as well.  Also runs heavy armor and sometimes the better range hull mod, can take on those capitals without fear of retaliation. Epic combination that the AI mauls with. ;D
