yer, well, i was motivated, lol.
i figured out why my rear AHEPT destroyed the Xenon P Cruiser, but isn't very effective against most fighters. the Cruiser has a manoverability rating of around 10, when most fighters are around 100, so, to put it simply, the fighters were dodging my AHEPT, but the cruiser was too slow to do that, so, it was just a matter of time before the shields ran out on it.
after 2 and a half hours of trying several different ways to accomplish my goals, i managed to destroy all 4 Xenon M3 Heavy Fighters with satisfactory results. that is, no more argon losses, and i still have a ship with 100% health.
i did however manage to capture a Pirate Nova Raider last night, but both he and i lost 23% of my ships health, fortunatly, i had no equiptment lost, i had saved it just before fighting them, so i went back and did it again, unfortunatly, i couldn't repeat the pirate nova raider surendering, so i kept my damaged ship save, and repaired. cost about 600k to repair them both, but i could have sold the pirate nova raider for 1M, so, either way, it was a gain, because now i have an extra 2M cr M3 ship (worth more like 3M cr with weapons and shields).
the pirates do not equip rear mounted AHEPTs in pirate nova raiders, so they are a bit easier to capture than the Pirate Novas. and compaired to the Argon Nova Raider, they have some better weapons, but can't even have IDs, let alone APSGs(which the Argon Nova Raider couldn't have), so, no group attacks, meaning, its not good against kha'ak, meaning, i'm still driving my Pirate Nova, and it only has 2 shield slots, instead of 3. it still makes a good wingman though, because its basicly the same as my folcans, with a Rear turret mounted AHEPT, and AIREs instead of APSGs.(the AI only seems to use weapon group 1 anyway, so, no real loss anyway, because my falcans don't use their APSGs)
NOTE: whiteboy, maybe you should ask ren to split off my posts into a seperate topic, probably in the PC section, called something like "Bobingabout's X3 report"
