Gosh y'all! I'm on the mission to investigate the Nadir base on DSN-Whatever, and I have no idea how to kill all the Kraits! I've tried Crescent Fighters, other Helians, and nothing works! Please help!

But they swarm me...
Phase Weaponry, Hunter Missiles, Monty Pythoning, a fast ship all come to mind. And hire a few escorts, I reccomend Aradas, not because I fly one, but because they are cheap (100K a piece for initial hiring) and effective.

An afterburner. And miranu thrust/speed upgrades. Let the ships come at you, fly away & fire. When they start to swarm, kick in the afterburners. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Get Phase Turrets, they can chop up Kraits like their were tomatoes.

Get a better ship, something that is faster than the Turncoat. Several ships come to mind (UE Destroyer). Outfit it with an Afterburner and Phase Weaponry and those Renegades will go BOOOM!

An Arada is also quite nice.
Carnatours right, phase weapons chew up Kraits like a cheese grater on a caffeine pill. (I do not remember whose qoute that it ;))

Capture some Renegade Aradas from the South Tip. They are relatively easy to capture and they take down Renegade shields quickly.

You're using a Turncoat?
The Turncoat owns, but its weakness is acceleration.
Like someone said, get some Renegande Arada Escorts and Acceleration and Thrust upgrades. An afterburner wouldn't hurt either.
I hope that all 10 of us helped you! Do you have any more questions?

The original message said "I've tried Crescent Fighters, other Helians, and nothing works!" If other Helians means what I think it does, he's in a Helian. The Helian is a good little combat courier, but if I were in Ninja's place I'd leave the Southern Renegades alone for a while, until I had something like an Arada or a Laz (if you like crescent ships) or a heavily modified UE Destroyer perhaps.
Getting something "faster than a turncoat" is not the answer, since the fighters it carries are the problem. Escorts are not the answer, because they often charge off after one enemy, and leave you to defend yourself against the rest.
Ninja, if faced with swarms of fighters in version 1.0.2, get yourself something fast, and Python them... at least cut down on the rate at which they overtake you. Fit multiple rocket launchers of some kind if you have the room, and lob rockets at the pack as they close with you.

I never experienced this problem because by the time I played it, I was in a CW. And by the time I get down there again after having conquered the Miranu (along with the Zidagar, Azdgari, and Igadzra already under my rule), I will be in an Igazra. As you can see, I never experienced much trouble with Kraits, but by the time they got into my weapons range phase poured down on them and annihilated them all.

Actaually, I'm in a nicely outfitted Freight-courier! It's a great ship. Lotsa cargo, space, horrible speed, but, eight, oh well...
Congrats to Cap'n Carnatour! (sp?) 2600 posts!
Thanks, thank you, and thanks once more. BTW, do you know that I have the most posts of anyone on these boards except for Andrew himself (though I'm not trying to brag)?
Here's an idea, though it's borderline cheat. Open the file "Override Sounds" in ResEdit. Open the SND resource. In there, change resource 128 to another ID number that's not already taken. Name it something like "Warp Up Old". Now, record a new sound: press the record button and then stop immediately. Change your new sound to 128, name it "Warp Up", and there you go! You can just jump in to the system, and then immediately jump out.

I just got an arada flew away and watched them come onto my screen in slow mo, then when they got into range the phase cannons and turrets hit, and they died faster then a bird eating my Mums grapes(on the vineyard)BOOOOMMMM.

iMox, I assume you know who Scott McNealy is, the leader of Sun Microsystems, my father works for Sun, and has a shirt that reads that very line(your sig), I think that is a noble expression.
