ships questions

[longshot8052]

hi all i have some questions i need answering as this is the new beta and things have changed

Q1) can both the eagle and the viper do hyper jumps and super cruise
if so then how many systems can they jump before needing to refuel for example from Eranin to Aulin

Q2) do lasers cost fuel to fire if so any idea how much

Q3) are multi cannons any good for taking down shields or are lasers still the best

Q4) how much do heatseeking missiles and unguided missiles cost to reload as they was very over priced before... has this changed?

Q1 yes they can, unsure on how far they can jump.

Q2 lasers don't have ammo but they can overheat.

Q3 Cannons rip hulls apart but weak against shields, lasers rip shields apart etc

Q4 Can't help there as I don't use missiles.

You use fuel to power your ship's systems so there is always some drain on fuel as you need to burn it to get power for systems. So I think that the more power you need to recharge your capacitors for weapons, the more fuel you use.

Missiles still cost about 10k to reload.
I immediately resold my launch pad after I saw that.

(Never used rockets before and I guess I'll have to wait a while till I do).

1) Both can jump and cruise, all ships can. The Eagle has a very short jump range, the viper has a long one.

2) Lasers are free to fire.

3) Multicannons are best against ship systems, great for blowing out a engine or ripping open a cargo hatch. Missles are best against hull, lasers are best against shields.

4) A lot, somewhere between 800 and 1000 each.

thanks for that info i was hoping the missile cost would have been cut as now its still not profitable to use them unless the credit cost of killing a pirate has increased from 300 to like 1500 a kill

looks like my load out will be a viper with 2 lasers and 2 multi cannons then as i want to go bounty hunting


1 last question has the price of the bounty's increased for killing a pirate or enemy ship does any 1 know
