anti fighter variant?
« on: March 13, 2014, 02:06:25 AM »

what's a good support ship to create just for fighters and missles?

I am hoping to make a ship that can just follow my main ship so i don't have to worry about fighters so much

Id go stock medusa pd, swap pulse laser for heavyburst if fighters absolutely MUST die or swap swarmers for harpoons for more anti ship capability (stock works just fine for me though)

Hi mlamma!

The Omen-class is the perfect ship for you, you can buy it at the Tri-Tachyon station. It is is cheap, fast, well shielded and has a special system that zaps fighters and missiles with EMP. Just slap some Burst-PD and a Swarmer-Launcher on it and fighters will threaten you no more.

A villigence class frigate with a heavy burst PD laser and a proximity charge launcher is a more CR friendly version of the Omen, albeit a slower and less shielded. The monitor class frigate is also good, with two flak cannons and some burst PD lasers. That thing has a fortress shield too, even if it is quite slow.

If it's going to be on escort duty, a fighter wing like wasps would be good because they won't get in the way.

Omen hands down. That special system just tears righters apart lie nothing and if coupled with fire from your main ship and its own PD guns all fighters are as good as dead.
