And Names
What are the orders and the names of the ships that you would usually buy while playing EV? Mine has varied greatly over the years. I used to jump through various ships such as the Defender, the Scoutship, the Lightning, the Rapier, and anything else I could grab. On my most serious pilot, this was the sequence (I'll use their names with the order):
Destroyer: Shuttle Destroyer A: Argosy Destroyer B: Corvette Destroyer Kestrel (R.S.S.) Destroyer Rebel Cruiser (R.S.S.) Destroyer E: Rebel Destroyer
I kept it pretty simple. I saved all the money I could for the Argosy, and I could work from there. As for downgrading from the Cruiser to the Destroyer, I did that because I decided the maneuverability of the Destroyer was great, and with proper upgrades it would be unstoppable.
As for my Confederate Ship sequence, that was somewhat different. I used different names as well (I think this is what I called them):
Eliminator: Shuttle Eliminator A: Courier Eliminator B: Argosy Eliminator Corvette Eliminator Kestrel Eliminator E: Confed Frigate Eliminator F: Confed Cruiser
The Courier is a nice ship. It also took me a little while to save up for that Cruiser.
You can probably tell which pilot I liked more though.
Now share your sequences.
And yes, on an unrelated note, this is my 4000th post.
Hooray for 4000 posts!
I named each class something different, just seemed wrong to give a shuttle a bad*ss name.
Shuttle - Zephyr Argosy - Phantom Corvette - Nike Kestrel - Nefarious Intent Rebel Cruiser - Unhinged
Shuttle:Padawan Rebel Destroyer:Eternal Madness
Capturing is good.
Nice topic, brings back the memories...
Well my first time through, I had pretty uncreative names and went for practicality over everything else...
Shuttle: Adventurer Scoutship: Firesprite Corvette: Icestorm Kestrel: Firebird Rebel Destroyer: Firebird II
On subsequent pilots I got creative and switched a few things up, trying out some fighters (the Rapier is pretty cool -- you can fit so much stuff on it if you sell the rocket launcher) and things like that.
I stare at the dialog box for about 5 minutes until something comes to me. Then I do a II, III, IV, etc. for the rest of them.
Shuttle: Micron. Scoutship: Dart. Corvette: Doomblade. Destroyer: Doomblade )(.
The Destroyer is effectively an overgunned, overshielded corvette.
Shuttle -> Scoutship -> Courier -> Argosy -> Corvette -> sometimes Kestrel.
I never re-use names.
