Ricardo Giovanni	Posted - 2004.11.14 20:46:00 - [1] Just lost my thorax on a lvl3 mission. I can't find a setup to counter the energy draining attack the merc wingman seems to be doing. What to do? When I shoot him, all damage disappears (using 4x 250mm railguns). Normally a small frigate is blasted within 10 secs but I can't seem to do damage to htis one. Any help appreciated......

Gary Goat	Posted - 2004.11.14 20:51:00 - [3] Try using some drones. Heavy ones usually work fine against frigs but if u still cant hit him then light drones will tear him apart. Scince drones dont use cap u wont have a problem You could also try light blasters and a webber but u need to get real close

Yasmine de'Medici	Posted - 2004.11.15 02:51:00 - [5] that guy can really be annoying, there are a few easy ways around it...warp in far, draw him out (not hard considering he moves, oh, 4 times faster than anyone else there). keep your mwd pulsing, using medium drones, and dont let him get close.... Keep 2 types of ammo, say tungsten and am, fire at him while running, then when he gets close, switch ammo and pound away (still while running). Remember, if you get withing 10km of him you're gonna get webbed and he wil lwin that race, so make sure you have some med drones and he'll die fffast. Plus if you're running away from him, his friends wont be there to lay the smackdown on you, and he doesnt deal ALL That much damage himself. Or you can just say f-it and make yourself a blasterax and watch him die in seconds, along with the rest of his buddies.

Nicodemous	Posted - 2004.11.15 04:46:00 - [7] I think your problem is that you're using 250mm rails - I don't know what flavor of ammo you're using, but he's probably moving too fast when at the correct range, and then when he closes you can't hit him at all because he's too far inside your optimal. If you can fit it, I'd put a webber on (you're going to be seeing a lot more tackler frigs in Exodus lvl 3 missions - I get 3-4 on the big missions now), and carry a few drones.. The previous poster that mentioned MWD'ing out to keep him at range is on the right track.. it'll take your drones a little bit to kill him by themselves, and it helps to be out of range of the other rats while they do it. Once he's dead you can repair/recharge and pull the drones in while the other rats get into range, and you'll be all set to deal with them as you normally would.

xavoc	Posted - 2004.11.15 06:29:00 - [11] After you deploy drones, turn on the repairer. Make sure its set on autorepeat.

Slithereen	Posted - 2004.11.16 00:05:00 - [19] I fought the Merc Wingman one by one with my Vengeance. I used an oversized AB to keep away from his web at 15km orbits. He chased me for over 100km before he got nailed and he had a fast repair rate. Taking out the other three Elite Fighters and the Merc Commander took less time combined than the taking out the Wingman. _______________________________________________ "Is it me or the bad guys just getting totally pathetic?"---Clover, Totally Spies, "Hope is wasted on the Hopeless."---Mandy, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

WhiteTiger	Posted - 2004.11.16 00:31:00 - [21] Just wait for the lvl 4 missions, I have had 10 of these plus 5 cruisers in one wave on the test server. Missiles also work, but not really an option on a thorax.

Easy Park the mining cruiser called Thorax And use a proper cruiser such Caracal (4x heavy launchers) and fight from 40 to 70Km away from them... and you will see ALL OF THEM go in 10 seconds. bye

I'll take your caracal in my thorax, no problems at all. The caracal is a good cruiser, but the thorax is PvE and PvP king. Trust me on this. ______________________________________________ Never argue with idiots. They will just drag it down to their level, and then beat you through experience.

MrRookie	Posted - 2004.11.16 10:48:00 - [27] Caracal is the easiest cruiser to do missions with imo. But I prefere the thorax myself. Probably the most damage dealing cruiser. When I get the Mordus missions I always switch to the caracal _____________________________________________ \o/ I got a siggy...
