Kinnison	Posted - 2004.08.08 18:31:00 - [1] Edited by: Kinnison on 08/08/2004 18:32:48 Well, that's the subject. How high-level are the rats I can manage and how do I do it? At present, my max has been a spawn of 7 frigates ranging from 5k to 17.5k. That was tough, but I won. Current tactic; orbit at 15km, maybe 20km for the bigger rats, spam them with light missiles and fire my 125 rail at them at the same time. A 17.5k usually takes about 10 missiles and 30 rounds. Rinse and repeat for the next rat. My loadout is: High: 2x standard launchers, 125 rail. Mid: small shield booster, MWD. Low: small armour repairer, overdrive 1, power diag 1, can't remember the 4th. The ship is an Ares, by the way. I usually manage to tank the armour damage reasonably well. What am I doing wrong, and can I kill any rats bigger than the ones I already do? One more bit of info; my targets are usually bloods. By the way, sorry if this is the wrong forum; I couldn't find a better one.

Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.08.08 19:01:00 - [7] I've solo'd Serpentis Cheif Sentinels in a Merlin so an Interceptor should be better. Took out a 4 cruiser and 1 cruiser commander spawn with a wingmate in Merlins too. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Liu Kaskakka	Posted - 2004.08.08 19:16:00 - [9] I dont know what you guys are doing but I dont get a single hit if I go shoot cruiser NPCs with my crow .. so, I guess you can kill everything else than the BSs.

Weirda	Posted - 2004.08.08 20:40:00 - [15] Edited by: Weirda on 08/08/2004 20:42:35 110k rats and their escorts in Rifter and Punisher easily... Died only once... wasn't paying attention and got hung up on a roid... They go down surprisingly quickly too (not much slower then with a cruiser)... Oh - dunno about the interceptor... haven't ratted in interceptor yet, still practicing in the cheapo frigs - but would imagine as much high if not higher bounty for sure... -- Thread Killer <END TRANSMISSION>

Kragg Malak	Posted - 2004.08.08 21:00:00 - [17] i can take out any cruiser spawn (as long as they dont shoot missiles), largest cruiser spawn i took out was 2x110k + 2x 75k however that's not the largest spawn i took out the largest spawn i took out was 2x Guardian Elder (1 mil Dominix) + 2 cruisers i only had to warp out to pick up more ammo and reposition myself to kill the second BS as long as you orbit them close and fast enough, you can kill anything that doesn't shoot missiles oh, i fly a taranis... and MWD = bad idea against npc's

jukriamrr	Posted - 2004.08.08 21:11:00 - [19] 550k (domination scout) in a crow here. Takes a while, but easily done. Good hunting

Christian Xavier	Posted - 2004.08.08 22:42:00 - [21] 1. 100k cruiser + 2x 17k frigs in a Kestrel with rockets and 10MN. 2. 4x 17k 4x 10k (missile boats) in a Merlin, use defenders, 150mm 'scouts', tech II shield boost, and keep at 20k range. No AB or MWD. Yet to be killed doing Lv2 missions (Gone Berzerk, etc.) in the Merlin listed above. It's all about choosing a build that works for what you're fighting. - Chris X.

Kinnison	Posted - 2004.08.09 11:29:00 - [23] Originally by: MadGaz Why oh Why do you rat in an interceptor? Well, I bought it because it's really fast and I want that for agent missions and blockade-running. Overkill, I know. It's a bonus that they're tougher than ordinary frigs as well. I'm very impressed, but how do you all do it?

Only thing I can think of that you could be doing wrong is not running the mwd. Switch out the shield booster for a cap recharger, keep your mwd running - shouldn't be a problem.
