Secondary use for Moonshine

<< < (2/4) > >>

Captain Smollett:
Ha, suppose that's true.

Lord Dick Tim:
So I used the moonshine today like suggested, to stop me from veering off during a ram.  My god, that's a bit scary, full bore ram, chain and flak gun screaming, slam into an enemy ship sending them off course and my guns are still firing on it without a break.  It was pretty much an instant pop unless the enemy ship peeled off to the right and managed to get behind me.

...  Like shink did...  With a Manticore.  Didn't do much of anything else that spawn.

dragonmere:
SLIGHT addition... If you're using monkey paw (phoenix claw) to turn at maximum rate, chances are you're jamming the opposite direction on the wheel once you get a good face. Try popping moonshine for one second. INSTANT stop, and if you just pop it, there's minimal/no damage to engines.

Between kerosine, moonshine, and monkey paw... pyramidion is like it used to be before the ship mass correction.

HamsterIV:
To use a ship like a spire or squid as a stable sniping platform I drop a touch of moonshine into the engines to cancel out any residual turning drift. Especially in the spire where I need to leave the helm to man the 2nd forward(ish) facing light gun. I don't do that very often as I favor close in tactics. I may have to try out your moonshine ramming technique, it sounds fun.

HamsterIV:
I just tried the ramming technique out and it works wonders. Moonshine has replaced Kerosine for the time being as my speed boost captain's item.
