oh holy amazing space cow of wonderous beauty...battle class cruisers appreciation thread

RipperJack · Feb 18, 2015

so after finding where it spawns thanks to the forums, i reach a high conflict zone and get the message "warning: your ears are gonna bleed joy".

It appears

MOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and behold.

she crowns beautifully and slides right past me

Heres a full sized pic for the screenies.

and a lil' lookee at its wonderful turrets and side cannons.

aswell as how beautiful her destroying someone is.

So while admiring her beauty i notice...she has a kind of back hatch/docking bay.

dare i enter her "back hatch" with my anaconda? /giggity. Turns out my anaconda fits in quite snug.

she also has a front hatch, oooh i'm double dipping today.

but sadly i got stuck inbetween her...legs?

and i mean literally wedge, i could pitch up and down but i was stuck solid.

So all in all im addicted, i want more, 1 wasnt enough, i need to find more of these ships or others, share your experiances, no amount of youtube videos and discriptions come close to how awesomely implemented these things are, i absolutly love them.

AT THE MOMENT ALL IM DOING IS LOGGING IN, WATCH IT SPAWN, KILLING 1 OR 2 THINGS AND RELOGGING JUST TO WATCH IT RE-ENTER.

FD...for all the annoyances and bugs i salute you, these are fantastic.

(ps yeah yeah i know im using all energy weapons but things melt as it is and i didnt wanna add extra cost from cannons and such like as keeping everything energy in an A class anaconda means theres little to no downtime in returning for ammo, the most i pay for is fuel).

It looks amazing and I watched a couple of videos the other day from someone else's dalliance into HICZ.

I've not gone into one yet, but all I can afford is a fairly decent Cobra, would it be suicide?

I have doing alright in a basic setup cobra. Made a fair wack of money. And those pics above confirms to be that i wont ever be getting a bigger ship like the anaconda. Look at that big ass front end. not sure i like that

Cobras will have no trouble. The main ship puts out so much concentrated fire, i'm basically putting a few shots into stuff and walking off with 18k, it was a dude IN a cobra who said about this in another thread

I hate to break this to you and I LOVE the Capital Ships (both imp and fed), but the term Space Cow for elite has already been given to the Type 9 Back in Alpha...

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

hehe i initially thought the same... is that? oh its my ship??

Sadly after cobra you'll progress towards asps and the trader types, clipper, python....none of them show your weapons anymore (wait maybe an asp does). Whichever i spent months forgetting you used to see weapons, just watching ordiance fly at targets above and below my cockpit, after a few months it was kind of welcome to see weapons back ontop and when gimbled they wiggle all over the place chasing targets.

Until it announces its entrance to the zone with the equivilent of a cow and a walker alien from war of the worlds making sweet love, personally the cruisers are the new space cows
