About spider equipment

[Androwski]

Hi.

I started with playing SS_Continuum before some time. Hyperspace is the only zone i play. I started with a WB. On with i use:

 

Gamma ray

harpy missile (soon string of pearls)

maneuvering fins

compression core

retro rockets

glow cover

power strip

 

But know i like to know what systems work well on a spider. I bought it already and it moves really slow. Unfortunately there are no post about it here.

 

I would use:

power strip

maneuvering fins

 

but about armor, sublight drive and reactor im not sure.

 

Would you please discuss the otpions please or jsut tell what you use?

 

Or if you have link to another forum or so, please post it here.

 

With best regards

Androwski

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think spiders can have maneuvering fins.

[Androwski]

Thats true. ?iteminfo ... says that 3 and 4 cant use maneuvering fins.

[Suicide_Run]

Spiders aren't meant to move fast......unless it was a few resets ago =.=;

 

What you using the spider for?

[Androwski]

I would like to use it for both, basing and in the center.

I have tried the Esper system on it, but i dont like the long reload, so i switched to compression core.

dont go to the link. the information there is completely useless for you androwski.

 

-edit-

 

okay the top part is complete bs, but the best setup for you would be vetta's suggestion below everything else.

Spider doesn't work well in center except for "Minibase".

[protocol_]

idk about that. i like the massdriver + rocket combo. does pretty good with stealth and cloak.

[Prottos007]

You sound really polite and grammatically correct. I like that. As for the Spider set-up, I got 2 different ideas.

The first one is:

Naquadah Generator

Positron Gun

Space Mine (bomb)

Carnot Engine or Ion Drive

Power Strip

Shrap Multiplier (addon)

Aphasic Plating or Shock Matrix (armor)

2 Defense Mounts

Inertial Damper (this one's optional)

Energy Scanner or Tachyone Sensor (so are these)

 

The second one is:

Pulse Laser

HE Missile or Impact Bomb

Carnot Engine or Ion Drive

Power Strip

Aphasic Plating or Shock Matrix

2 Defense Mounts or 1 Defense Mount with a Speed Mount

ZPM

H2 Ramscoop

Parallel Relay

Inertial Damper

Energy Scanner or Tachyone Sensor (optional)

 

The first one works well in the minibase and basing. The second one is slower, but it will give you a lot of energy and recharge, and still works pretty well basing.

 

On a Warbird, I have:

Sharppinger

Carnot Engine

Naquadah Gen.

String of Pearls

2 Defense Mounts

Power Strip

Maneuvering Fins

Shock Matrix

Energy Scanner

Inertial Damper

S!@#$%^&* (have to get Parasite first)

 

Hope this helps!

Aphasic Plating is weak against low level bullets. Where is the boarder between high and low level gun??

Does it protect against all that blue and yellow stuff that is shot on me? Or is gamma ray (yellow) also a low level gun?

i would suggest shock matrix. it's usually one of the best choices for centering and basing due to the fact that bombs can do devastating damage..

The only non-sig armor that is decent against low and high level bullet is reinforcements, but it sucks bad.

And,

 

Bullets and bombs are the same color scheme

 

Red = L1 low

Yellow = L2 Mid, or in the case or guns this would be just plain gun armor

Purple =L3 High

Multi color = L4 Thors, or Point defense

Purple =L3 High

Multi color = L4 Thors, or Point defense

Red = L1

Yellow = L2

Blue* = L3

Purple* = L4 (obtainable through Flag Bonus or Powerball Bonus. No bonuses are in effect in HyperSpace as far as I know)

 

fixed

no, i was fixing your incorrect facts. you seem to be having a lot lately.

[Kilo]

vetta was actually correct and rootbear posted information he even admitted did not apply to this zone

 

Needs R/G/B/W bullet graphics for everyone. I've been too lazy to do the same for bombs so far, but it makes things easier to tell apart.

what does the G and W refer to?

i was just posting the correct colors geez.

[vetta64]

Someone is a little cranky today.

[Kilo]

W is for White

I've done R/G/B/W because on my laptop in certain conditions R/Y are too similar and the B/P are not too far apart to begin with.

[rootbear75]

can i get your gun.bm2 file... i want to see what that looks like

[Kilo]

i need to fix it first because l1 nonbounce bullets are somewhat hard to see

bullets are the easiest custom graphics to make though since they're so small
