You realise that the AOTM2 thread is still stickied right... and there's an edit button.

yes... and i didn't know where the cuddlefish was from. I opened a new post without thinking, and because it was open anyway i used that instead of opening. here, if it will help, ask a moderator to delete it.

maybe... however, it turns FAST, so i don't know about that.

Ahh, I didn't check the stats.

If it's a good turner then it's gunna be a damn nice ship, with 4 deflectors you can't touch this, especially in a boss fight where they can't pincer you.

yeah, might get owned in the 3 boss battle.

How I wish deflectors could be set to permanent targets...

It leaves something to be desired unfortunately

Preliminary field test shows...

It needs better point defence, the demeters just stayed inside the flak net and raped its weapons.

Seriously, it got torn to pieces by them. I'd hate to see the effect of the demeter canisters, because they can't be intercepted until it's well inside the ship

What exactly are you using to test this? It has more PD than LS's ship anyways and I don't see you getting on him for it.

it's true, demeters own me too. That's why you have ships to COVER THAT...
(please note that i am backing up antisocailmunky, not the other way around)
anyhoo, i was considering using aegis, but:
1- for most of the time, they will be equivalent to aegis (in theory, as when one runs out the other can cover for it)
2- this ship has layers. Aegis'd pieces can die. when they do, i don't want my ship getting owned.
3- the 10 degree rule can be avoided using deflectors.
@antisocial- what's the real difference between mine and yours may i ask?
i mean, i know it has 2 more flaks, so therefore it's a bit slower probably, but is there somthing else it has i'm missing?

I wanted to use the idea. Its not a great ship either, but a interesting concept ship.

7 with a cuddlefish beat the last mothership.

The difference between your ship and mine? Well, you're looks like a frigate that's has a huge threat circle(this means your ship will attract bosses like flies to a turd). Mine is probably tougher and less conspiculous. Of course, I can't say anything without a ship to test.

Also, you can either have all Aegis or all Deflectors.

i was actually aiming for the bigger threat circle, as this thing circles pretty damn well, and anything that attracts bosses to a target behind them is good in my book.
who said anything about combining aegis and deflectors?
also, should i convert it to a pulsar ship or stay with the current armament?

Oh, I thought you were talking alluding to something else.

Can 7 of them an a distractor ship take out the last mothership? Also, you said you were using twinblasters... That's alot of points sunk into weapons. Mine are just blasters and Dusks. I'm thinking aobut changing blasters for rockets for their 13 DPS so meh.
