Where Can I Find the Starmaster?

thirdfloornorth · Post by **thirdfloornorth** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:51 am

Or even the Mammoth. But especially the Starmaster.

Spent the better part of a day mining and doing trade runs, can only seem to find the Legacy

Send me a PM if you want to avoid spoiling it for the rest.

Go to players built stations and you'll have a good chance of getting it.

I have been flying one for a while now. Sluggish, not very fast but very tough, can hold alot of equipment, crew and cargo. I think I am going to try something a little more agile for a while since I can't seem to manueuver very well during an attack.

I totally agree. It's a flying brick that really can take a beating. It's perfect for exploring
unknown far away space.

I love my Starmaster! If you max out on wing system it has a very respectable agility. And it's absolutely hard as nails... can easily absorb multiple exodus hits. Of course doesn't compare in combat to the higher-end military frames. Generally found in the fringe systems and hidden systems or at some player-built stations in MP.

I run the Starmaster also. I use max shields, max engines and limit my bays to 3 so I can have fair wings. It all depends on how you fly and what you want it to do.

Tried Pearl, had the Mammoth but not Starmaster. Don't play online really, not yet at least, so where is another good "fringe" system? Where did you guys find yours?

Also, why do so many people choose the Mammoth/Starmaster over the high-end Military Predator/Chimera? What's the make-or-break differences?

Military ships do not allow crew or cargo bays. Might try Deneb system not sure now.

Jester · Post by **Jester** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 7:19 pm

Also try Atlas. That's where I got mine.

thirdfloornorth · Post by **thirdfloornorth** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 10:03 pm

Still can't find it :/ Wasn't at Deneb or Atlas. Sad sad pandas.

I'd almost be willing to make that trade off if a Chimera was faster. Where do you buy military ships? How do you rank up? Do you have to rank up per-faction?

What's the max speed on a Military ship with 10 engines, like the Chimera or Predator? Because the Mammoth is a brick. Like, absurdly so.

Military ships are sold on Military carriers mostly in war zones but there are a few in Civie areas. You choice of military ships is limited by your military rank and can not be modded as much as Civie ships.

How's the speed? Is the armor trade off nice?

I have a set of charts. I'll see if I can upload them to Photobucket and post 'em to the forum.

Yup, the Federation lost an entire system, star, planets, asteroids(lots of those), everything. Kinda makes you wonder why the Alliance hasn't taken over yet...

I would go with Pearl, they have EVERYTHING there(if you know where to look;)) starmaster should be easy to find, just drop into a station there and you should find it. You will want to bring your wallet though, after the engines and such go on, it will run in the millions. 5 million should be enough to buy it with change left over for gas.

As for military ships, they are generally better than civilian ships in regards to speed and armor, but they don't have room for cargo bays or crew, and the only thing you can change on them is the size of the fuel tank. Also, you can't paint them.

:(

Edit: Here are the ship charts that Marvin was talking about

Hope all this helps, and i hope to see you out there sometime.

You can find your Starmaster at Peal hidding planet. I can u2u the co-ord if you like, or you can check some spoiler post and get the co-ord there.

The defferent in Starmaster vs milt ship
Starmaster.---------------------Milt
8 equipment slot.------------5 Equipment slot
up to 5 cargo space.---------0 cargo space
can have crew.-------------- 0 crew
big and slow.----------------Big and fast

I had alway like civl frame cause of their cargo space. When I use Starmaster for playing around I load Eng10, Shield10, Cargo5, Wing 4 or 5 then fuels.
When I use Starmaster for combat I have Eng and Shield at 10, 1 cargo space 2 fuels and the left over for wing.

Hope that help explain it

It'd be cool to try and find it myself, if you could give me some pointers. Go ahead and pm me the coords tho just in case I start loosing my mind looking.

How do I join the military so I can start working on my rank?

The Quest will eventually give you pointers ... and a couple Gorfburger stands point the way in MP.

The military doesn't enlist mercenaries. But they will hire you to do contracts ... just drop into any war zone and apply.

Looks from the data of Marvins recently posted charts that the Starmaster is the best deal from all the other ships even better then the highest military ship. The only advantage of the Chimera is it's speed. Everything else of the Starmaster is better. Remember, when you find the starmaster in the specs it tells you that not much is known about this craft. So this should give you a clue about the specialty of this craft.....

Dingo · Post by **Dingo** » Sun Nov 14, 2010 2:03 pm

I prefer the chimera to the starmaster for purely combat purposes. It is true that with a w/o the starmaster actually fires for longer, but I find the extra speed to be very nice. Then again my favorite ship is the evoch e, so that shows which side of the speed v power debate i fall on. the extra eq slots of the starmster are pretty useful though, as a deploy contructor and repair sys can be nice.
