So I've finished business and started military and it was going well but now I'm stuck here
I got in my new Atrus (Atrus? Atron? I can't remember XD) and warped to the location and there was like 6 enemies, one was sending me mocking messages. There were 2 drones, one was a webber. And about 4 attackers. The attackers were close so I shot them with my light electron with antimatter S. I was able to shoot down all the attackers since they were about 2km but thats when I ran into problems
The drones were both at 6km from me, one had me webbed. I was still in my velator at the time and I was instructed to web them, so I webbed the webber drone and tried to close in on it. Unfortunately I couldnt move even a metre close to it and wasted 100+ ammo missing it. The info on my weapon says the optimum range is 500m and falloff range is 2km.
So I warped back and got in my Atron. Servers were about to reset but I managed to ask a few questions on chat. I didn't have time to get some clear answers really but my understanding from what we said was:
1) The way to beat kiters is to use drones, but I don't know which drones, what drones should I use? Do I need a skill for this?
2) A webifier will let me close in on them, it didn't
3) A nitro boost will let me close in on them, I couldn't use mine since it said its a 'passive module' or something
4) I need a new ship. I asked what and they told me to look at the info and work it out myself. I forgot what all the ships I have are called... I have my velator, my mining frigate, another one I got at the end of the business section and the Atrus I just got. The one from the end of business was dead slow but had high hp. Survival wasn't my issue closing in on them or hitting them at a range was so I rejected this. The mining frigate sucked all around for fighting, but the Atrus was faster than the velator a bit, had higher hp too so I think this one?
5) Fit better weapons/ammo. This is what I was asking the most about. My understanding so far is antimatter ammo halves my effective range. Tungsten ammo increases it but does lower damage. So I should switch to tungsten ammo to hit them? Also railguns are longer range, they're only 75mm but they said thats alright, but said I would be better with 125mm railguns. If I can afford a 125mm railgun and tungsten ammo should I fit those? Onto my Atrus?
Summary: So am I correct in thinking I need some kind of drone (which) on my Atrus, a drone skill, a 125mm railgun and tungsten ammo? Is this sufficient to beat this mission? |
