Check out the Dark Station plug, specifically the 'Gunpod' outfits. Gunpods actually mount blaze cannon, not Phase, but otherwise they're pretty much what you're asking for.

Assuming it only ends the Frontier Express missions, then yes.

This is the first time I have flown a UE fighter in years - probably since Version 1.0.0! It's actually great fun. I have deliberately avoided taking sides in the Strand War for as long as possible, because I am going to try for two strands at once. gulp

Spank you very much.
Originally posted by Blackdog: I don't think that's possible.
Oh, believe me, it's possible. The only person to do it - who still saunters around with "legend" before his name - is Ankh Starruner, as far as I know. I might give it a go, myself - both the Voinian Dreadnought in a Krait and the "Crew of One" challenge I missed out on before. It's just a pity it's version 1.0.2. I've done the challenge without realising it on 1.0.0, but with the afterburner... I'm going to have to be careful, and play my cards right. I'll confess, the first time I played 1.0.2, a lone Crescent Fighter murdered my moderately upgraded and just bought Arada - not only that, but in the very first United Earth mission, I was, shock horror, not able to destroy the Voinian blockade in my shuttlecraft! That was my favourite part of the entire game... next to the dreadnought in a United Earth fighter.
I guess I'm cut out for this, but I'm scared witless of the thought of fighting any Crescent or Strand fighter while it's making use of its infinite afterburner. I'm no lightning fast brawler - I don't have the reaction time for that. I've always relied on being faster than the opponent, and wearing away at him until he's dead. I'll admit I've gone flying around to recover armour and shields before, but in a U.E. fighter 30% armour was always safe ground, as long as I was faster. <shivers, and realises he's ranting>
I'll take the challenge up, but I'm going to have to shame myself and play Azdgari. Zidagar fighters aren't as fast as Azdaras, and the infinite afterburner syndrome won't make any difference at slaughtering the Igadzra. I hope.
<shivers again>
------------------ -Lyat Esponer Corsair
Just remember, that to get to the azdara, you still have fly a one man ship, the nine "straight" jumps to Racet, and tree to Apert, could prove quite difficult...
And, I thought you were the man of the Crescent Fighter!
Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'll still be in a Crescent fighter. I'll just not be in a position to fight any Azdaras - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Anyway, outside of the experimental shield generator, I don't think the Azdara is worthwhile. A little more speed won't make any difference, and there are a lot of things that can be done with a Crescent fighter. Fear not!
You know, though a little off from this topic, I think I am going to go home and rig myself up with one of those Vonian Heavy fighters + 4 sheild enhancers... Regen rate 12x that of normal... Heh, tis' a two man vessel though...

Hey man, you can't do that. Read my lips... "The 'Crew of One' Challenge"
Is the Outfit MOD plug-in good? If so I am in.

Outfit MODs 1.0 for EVO 1.0.1 by Adam Frederickson, graphics by Brian Balding
This plug changes: 1. The way turrets are handled, letting you have max turrets and max guns. 2. Many things are now sellable, such as mass and cargo expansions, phased disruption beams, the three speed upgrades, Krait fighter bays, UE fighter bays, Vinonian Heavy fighter bays, and Zidagar Fighter bays (as long as you have done the appropriate missions first). 3. It allows you to buy more of certain things, such as fuel tanks, fuel scoops, and the three speed upgrades. 4. It makes it so you keep or buy back irreplasible outfits when you trade ships, such as the Zidagar systems upgrade, the ex. shield genarator and the UE cloaking device.
|'d say that using the turret cheat, wouldn't fit with this challenge. The rest doesn't really matter, since your fighter only has x amount of space. But Blackdog's got the rules...
Anyways, I just finished Ekiup Station and the attack on Avann Actually the UE string, hasn't been so hard. But I fear the Nebula, going head to head with an Igazra *shudders Sure I'm faster than him, but all those SAE's....

It would make life easier to use it... but with the COO challenge, you make your own rules. Just state what plugs you're using when you report your progress.
Originally posted by Opalius: Hey man, you can't do that. Read my lips... "The 'Crew of One' Challenge"
Yeah, I know. I'm not really doing the challange; more investigating the nuances of using smaller craft. always played with Cap ships, never thinking of how deadly a fully armed and sheild enhanced fighter could be. I'll take your challenge later, this time I'm only going out for fun. My problem is only the No Escort thing - that's how I make money - and I know that's part of the challenge, but I want to try my hand at fighter combat before I delve in.

there is nothing challenging about making money in a fighter. it just long dragged out and boring...

Not at all. Just do the Free Huron string.
Originally posted by SilverDragon: **Oh, believe me, it's possible.
Call me skeptical, but I think you really oughta try it. It's harder than you think.
