I might add that MaxSpeed makes your afterburners faster (I'm pretty sure), and -afterburners makes them cheaper. My warbird build is very fun as it focuses on afterburners first, detection second (oracle), dodging third, and last but not least, guns, specials, and sop for teh kills. It may not be leet like the setup mentioned above, but it's !@#$%^&*a fun! In center I pretty much use pea shooter to annoy people until they chase me. Then I use afterburners to dodge and get out of the way of their attack. I can stay away from pretty much everything even at close range. Spiders have trouble rotating to kill me. Sharks can't hide from me. Warbirds run out of juice (even ampere warbirds don't last forever and usually fall to three SOPs or a few sops and some fast shooting pea shooter), javs can't hit me with their silly bombs unless they have prox, levis also suffer from rotation and I just get behind them or attack them from bad angles (bad angles for them). Weasels, terriers, meh.... suffer from a combination of all of the above, and lancs can't cloak or hit me worth a darn. I use fast shooting to mop up weaklings. And if anyone wants to chase me.... SOP! gg ez noob'd lulz!11 In base I have low energy but I use wave disperser to avoid wall bomb damage. I make sure I have an ally in front of me to absorb bullets and bombs while I fire away nonstop with pea shooter. If my energy gets low I pull back quickly. I can guard lancs from incoming cloaked sharks because they can't cloak against me (oracle). Since I use pea shooter I'm getting more shots in than most people so I have a better chance of getting the kill.... (yes it means I'm kinda stealing kills from teammates who deal most of the damage, but it's effective). I can lay a line of sop to deter sharks who do manage to get past me. I can chase anyone with my afterburners even through the hypertunnel and I can see mines with oracle so I can dodge them easy. Overall, it's a great ship, requires a lot of dodging, but that just makes it more fun! Sometimes I don't even attack, I just dance around people at close range and see how long I can keep it up! Here's my current setup (keep in mind... this build is for FUN, not for uber-annihilation!) Fusion Reactor - balanced reactor with a discount on afterburners (I view afterburners as more important than almost anything because it's so fun to use them. Wave Disperser - keeps me alive in base from wall bombs Power Strip - a little extra energy never hurt Maxwell Infusers - afterburners, nuff said Inertial Damper - better afterburners and rotation Pea Shooter - decent fire rate and most cost effective bounce gun in both energy and money, I use it for mop up and directing the flow of the battle, along with effective base domination. In center I'm likely to do some fast shooting with afterburners to mop up a weak enemy. Oracle System - FREE X RADAR! TAKE THAT YOU NASTY SHARKS AND CLOAKING LANCS! ALSO I CAN SEE MINES ON RADAR TAKE THAT YOU BASE MINING NOOBS AND YOU TUNNEL STALKERS! (also has some minor bonuses to other stats) String of Pearls - WTHSOPBBQ!!!11 Retro Rockets - uber thrusting for quick manuevers.... actually... having no sublight and maxwell is almost as good. The whole idea of no sublight is that you have two speeds, 1 for shooting and aiming, and another for dodging and chasing (afterburners). Wall Mount - just for fun, haven't done much bricking yet tho Defense Mount - trying this out for a bit, I had 2 siege mounts, but without salvo thors kinda suck Jump Engines - just for fun, haven't used it much ON MY WISHLIST: Parasite (s!@#$%^&*), maybe a transwarp key or summink, extra capacity items, and a big LANC to hide behind!
