Ship Help

[Gawl]

I started doing military missions in Sierra solo and they are rough. I'm thinking it might be my ship though. Currently I'm in a Levi with class 5 shield booster and the class 10 shield, mantis drive and stealth. Using the banshee cannon, excal and I think a vapor laser.

I can kill stuff good, but taking on 7 fighters before they drop the cap ship is hard. My question is would I be better served with a smaller faster and more manuverable ship? If so which one do you reccomend? I have access to the first military ship but it seems frail compared to the levi.

Thanks in advance!

Your ship is ok but those escort missions are tough. I have failed a few of them as of late so maybe the bad guys are getting better. You could store your ship and try a Military one. So how you like it.

Nub question...how do you store a ship?

Use the hangar option at a station. I'd suggest trying something a little more agile, either a Phoenix for a civilian frame, or a mid-range military fighter. In a really heavy transport ship like a Levi, your going to be spending a lot of time trying to slow down from high speed passes and turning can take a while, using up time you need to attack hostiles going after the escort ship. The Levi isn't a very good interceptor, smaller and lighter ships are much better suited to those roles.

Thanks for the help, I'll take a look at the Phoenix until I can get something mid range from the millitary.

And it takes a lot of practice using inertia with smaller and faster ships to get the advantage you need!
Your equipment is all good, also get a cannon relay system which improves your fire power and speed!
get your military rank up by doing as much military missions as you can in warzones to get better military crafts!;)
