Reverse

(1/2) > >>

-Muse- Cullen:
Quick questions-

Can a ship, such as a squid, fly at top speed going backwards, as well as forward? Or is there a speed penalty for doing so?

Do the speed tools affect reverse movement?

If a system has been chemical sprayed, does it still take fire damage? Or does it just resist catching on fire?

On a gun, is it better to use grease rounds for more ammo/less damage, or charged rounds for less ammo/more damage on things like the Whirlwind or Dragon Tongue?

Kyren:
I think the backward speed is less than the forward speed, at least that's the impression I get when I fly backwards.

So far Kerosene has affected my reverse movement dramatically, by effectively not making it happen :P I catched myself having throttle full on reverse and using Kerosene, and we only moved backwards very very slowly.

I think it still takes the little fire damage that the flamethrower does but just doesn't get burned.

I'll leave the gunnery questions to more skilled Gunners than me :P

For a whirlwind, it is typically either Heavy clip, or Greased (at least in most circles).... For the dragon tongue, the main ammo of choice is lesmok... it gives you more range

-Muse- Cullen:
I understand that Heavy clip tightens the spread and Lesmok gives increased range, but I'm still curious. When I am a gunner, I usually keep Lesmok on any small gun until I get within closer range. Then, I change ammo. I want to find out, though, which ammo is better?

Shinkurex:
well that's the thing.... there is no set recommendation, as this is based on your playing style... In my experience, for the Flack & Gat, I use heavy clip (and I don't usually switch)... Flamethrower is lesmok, Merc = Charged and so on...
