ive heard alot about this bu t dont know what it is or how to do it.

The forklift is not in Nova. It is in EV and Override, so if you ask on one of those boards, you'll probably get an answer.

The forklift is a cheat weapon that is very powerfull. You get it with a certain key combination. It is considered cheating by most and my advice is not to use it even when you do learn how. This topic I think belongs on one of the other EV boards.

So what if it's cheating? 4 of 'em and you can take out a Confed Cruiser! Hold (option) and click at the top of the title screen. Ever seen Mystery Science Theater 300? This is a parody of the theme song. When you see -MCB 4:35 A.M., click on and hold down (Conrol), (Command), (Option), (F). The pilot file that is loaded will now have a forklift as a secondary weapon. Happy huntin'!
I suggest you dont use it. I once downloaded a plugin that had a kestrel w/ a forklift as the bounty hunter and he still couldn't take me on. Good pilots dont need them. You dont need cheats to dominate. If Matt Burch wanted it to be used freely and all the time he would have made it available for purchase, not available as a cheat.

I usually just use it for the alien missions- if you use it too much it makes the game boring. It's nice to have just in case...

No no no no no.
Don't use it for the alien missions. It isn't necessary at all. In many ways, the Alien Cruiser is easier than the Confed Cruiser. Doing it without cheating is easy in anything over a million credits, and it's been done in a Shuttle. If you go a while without it, your skills will develop to the point you never need it. It's better that way.

A shuttle? Wow. Maybe if you souped it up a lot... The thing that bothers me is those fighters. If it was just the Cruiser I could do it in a stupid Passenger Liner. Maybe I'll try with a Rapier or something.

The fighters are usually taken care of by the Cruisers. Just add some armor and you should be fine. The Cruiser itself really shouldn't hit you, after all.
I also think it would be difficult in a liner, they're too slow. Anyway, if you want to talk about this more, it probably belongs in the Alien Mission in a Corvette topic, where we've benn talking about this kind of stuff. This discussion should be primarily about the forklift.
I suggest you not use the forklift. I used it for awhile, but I have stopped. I only used it when I didn't feel like fighting or when I was new to evo to help me evade all my enemies.

No, it was proven that it was impossible in a shuttle. The amount of space was too small for two proton cannons, which was the minimum that would work against the Alien Cruiser's high shield recharge. I believe that the smallest ship that could kill an Alien Cruiser is the defender.
But, back on topic, the forklift is very stupid to be used in the game. For amusement in a silly pilot file, it can be rather amusing for a short while. But after that, you really shouldn't use it in a real pilot file. It's just plain cheating.

Use mass expansions. Or change the game code.

See (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/001535.html")this thread(/url), UE Crusader explains how to do it around half way down the first page, and someone else did independent verification farther down.
Perhaps I was thinking of the Defender... But I know somebody proved some small ship could not destroy the Alien Cruiser...

If the shuttle can do it, I'm pretty sure the Defender can. Slow ships like the Light Freighter would have a hard time with it, ditto for the Luxury Liner. I think a real challenge would be to do it in an Executive Transport... that might be the ship you're thinking of, actually. I may have to try it now.
I imagine doing it in a Bulk Freighter would be tough...
------------------ Yeah, you heard me.

You could do it in any ship if you had some Cruisers for escorts...
