Favourite Strand Line?

But you can't get the Dreadnought in the game. Otherwise, I agree on the other points. 😉

Oh, but you CAN!

You just need to abort the mission before you try to board it is all. However, you lose all the fancy über Voinian weapons if you try to outfit it yourself (the weapons have no assigned outfit resources), so you're best off capturing them as escorts.

I've always thought I would also lose my sanity trying that ... repeatedly :(.

Well, if you're going to try, you'd best have the UE Marine Gear and escorts with a lot of Crew (Voinian Cruisers come to mind). Once you capture a few Dreanaughts, it becomes much easier to capture the rest; trust me.

Take the first for yourself. Gives better odds for the next five. Then capture whatever you want for yourself. Enhanced Arada comes to mind. Then get the cloak, NPD and siphon.

:huh:

How do you propose to get both the Enhanced Arada and the Plasma Siphon? I'm aware that you can do the Igadzra and Zidagar Strings together, but I thought that the Azdargi string was mutually exclusive to the others no matter what you do?

If I recall, there is just enough time to start A and I and do both of them as well as Z and I. It requires never landing for fuel between Kitrak and Akrayhek, and beyond, but pretty sure it's doable :).

Thanks for the enlightenment. I need to try that. I thought it might have only been possible with a plug-in, but I guess not. Still, won't the odds of capture be way against you when you try to capture it the first time around?

Edit: Added words.

Yes. It will take many, many tries, unfortunately. However, once you succeed, all the hard work will make the victory seem even sweeter than it ought to be (at least, thats what it felt like to me!).

I knew there was a catch...but if you really want to get it, I suppose that's what it takes (unless you have a plug-in of course).

🆒

Edit: Emote.

Azdgari & Zidagar can't be done together. Either other pair can.

Off topic: But the ev override board has 100s of topics and post etc (before clicking on the board it has the stats next to it) yet I can only see 10-20 at the most (same with the EVC board). Just wondering why....

Can someone please answer this?

Sounds like a challenge 🙂

Have you got the "show posts from..." thing at the bottom set to "all"?

I prefer to do the Azdgari mainly because of what they offer for ship performance enhancement.
