I liked the snowflake until i was shot twice with an fire beam from some ai...
That's when i saved up for an equan and decided to use my zeus+ aug i got lucky getting, my setup was more for leveling though because of the space it took up, thank goodness for sniper hull modifications, gota equip gear in a spacific order
>.<
My setup was
Equan (The normal nut ship, nothin special)
Weapon: Giga cati
Energy: OS Yallow
Augs: Zues+, Greener, Qa (Zeus aug is ok, i just happen to have a +)
Shield: Basil sheeth (Upgrade to basil mega when ya can, not unnecessary)
Pod: Escape pod lll (Cuz its fun to spin when dead
)
Engine: Zebra Muscle (i had a contrast something before the ZM)
Warp Device: Broomstick
Shield Charger: What ever i had room for, eventually got a Madman's charger
Cloak: Just keep updating it, i couldnt find a good one
Tractor: Optional, use something small with good range
The ship was bulky and even with the t20 engine it had really bad turning and acceleration. But it was my ship and i was happy with it for a while. Now i use a juju t20... Plan on getting a absentis and sticking with that as my endgame unless a chance for a Poseidon Wave comes along, then ya know, like any sniper ill jump at it ;P
Currently use
Ship: Jujuso'kra
Shield: Basil Mega Sheeth (
Now that emp's prot is less than 3 bil, it can definitely replace)
Energy: O.S. Yallow
Engine: Zebra Muscle (
Thrust in Shadows is not hard to obtain and actually is meant for sniper)
Augmenters: Greener, Qa, Zeus+ (
CaL is easily better than Qa considering built-in cloaks and sniper skills make you stealthy enough)
Cloak: Built in*
Weapon: Pulsious Sharp Shooter (PSS), Zebra Torpedo*[evil] (There nice
) (
Don't forget hot glue sprayer, stygian fist, and zebra spitter)
Tractor: Reindeer harness
Shield Charger: Madman's Charger (
Primal Zebra Charger is the best)
Just remember that snowflake in a non fire environment has that handy little built in parasite weapon... It does crap tons a damage if used right.
The fire weakness should only be bothersome against qokuji'qis. Icepicks' plasmite lasers are too insignificant to matter and 95% of all high end AI have no heat damage.
