Q&A / Character Loadouts and Positioning
« on: June 29, 2014, 10:10:53 pm »
Heyhey everyone! I am pretty new to the game, and Ive been working on being a pilot/captain. I have the majority of stuff down as far as flying stuff goes, but there are a few things I really need help on. Two are listed in the title.
Firstly, character loadouts. I have engineered around high level captains ships to see how they captain. A lot of them have really good communication and ask their crew to bring certain ammo, and for engis, to bring certain tools. My question is, how am I supposed to know what the best items are to use against the enemies. When is it optimal to use chem spray over the default extinguisher? What types of ammo are good against what types of ship? (Or good with what guns?) Ive tried to search around the forums, but havent found much on the subject. If any of you guys could give me tips, that would be fantabulous!
Secondly, positioning. I have been flying Pyra and Galleon a lot recently. Galleon I have mostly down, so I dont need a ton of help with that, but I would love tips. I run a sniper type build with carronades and hwacha on the right side if they get close. But my real trouble is the Pyra. My build with that ship has a gat with mortar up top. Flamer and light carronade on the side. Side guns are hardly used though. When I engage, I either completely destroy them, or get destroyed. I assume that is because of my angle of approach. But which angle is the best to approach from? I usually try to hide in the clouds and come in fast with kerosine on their last powerful side of the ship im attacking. But that is pretty hard to do. They always see me moving in behind them, or the spot doesnt get lost in the cloud. Is there a better way to approach them? Or should I just keep attempting to maneuver around to their weak spot without being seen? Any tips for this or any subject involving the game would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a ton in advance guys!
