FULCRUM TORPEDOES.....

[SHADOW STAR]

O.K., They are awesome.....howevever,.....

Two questions for the more learned of the bunch. One; how do you escape destroying your own ship without hitting jump drive--I mean, so you can enjoy the show. Nothing like a good kill to make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Secondly; Are there any missions that pay enough to make it worth blowing 5-6 million at a wack? It's not that I can't come up with the dough, but the mission needs to put some cash back in my pocket--from the business end of things.

Try firing the torpedo as you move away from the target.

Yup. That's the best option.
In my opinion this works best when using the afterburner in addition to your reverse thrusters.

FTs aren't for monetary reward. They are for vengence ... and sheer, unadulterated meanness.

You can also use your jumpdrive to micro jump away after firing the torpedo. And of course Fulcrum torpedos are there for all the reasons Marvin mentioned....LOL...:P:P:P:P

You can use the residual speed after a jump to the target to fire and move away in inertial.... just like you do with normal missiles when doing strafing runs on capital ships.

I love 'em.For some situations, they work very well...

Also you can use them for trade!

One thing about FTs; they blow up everything in their vicinity, both friendly, and unfriendly - the friendly (human) can very quickly turn extremely unfriendly after getting hit by a few FT blasts!

Yes, that too, but do not get Mad just get Even...LOL....:P:P:P:P

[Marvin]

Do not get mad. Do not get even. Get one up.

[Maarschalk]

If you're not one up, you're one down.
