ARC-170 Group weaponsFollow

#1 Apr 19 2009 at 6:55 PM Rating: Decent
The ARC-170 takes 3 weapons.
Is it possible to group weapons so that extra gunners are not necessary?
In other words, have no passengers, but have the pilot fire all 3 weapons?

Don't think its possbile, would make multi crew ships pretty much single man ships.

This is a multi-player ship. You can rig the ship to be a heavy hitter by removing the rear facing guns and using the excess mass to put a Jackhammer up front. But grouping the weapons...it is not possible. Besides...how would you target with the aft facing weapons. Even though there are 3 weapons....2 of the weapons are in the aft or rear of the craft. I fly the ARC almost exclusively in and out of Deep Space and Kessel, So you can fly it as a single pilot ship, But it is actually a 3 person ship and can not link all 3 weapons.

Isn't the ARC-170 a 2 man ship with 2 forward firing guns and 1 rear turret?

The two turrets in the aft of the craft, but the top turret can fire forward...it's more of a top view the a aft view. You also have to really beef the Cap if you are gonna run the turrets though. Like I said....I pull the rear guns and try to squeeze the right lvl 10 cannon up front. Most times it ends up being a lvl9 then I build the rest of the ship around it. Picture this....a dwarf running around with a telephone pole samcking thing with it. Not expecting the vicsiousness of 1st the blow....but rarely around to need a second. Alot of time I have the mass left to put some good ordinace in too...not that I use them very much but...I like to say I have them. I just like to watch the detonation of a seismic missle...and the startburst of sensor decoy. With the collections....getting the right Cap isn't too hard anymore either. If you have the right crafter, But I digress.....3 personel(1 Pilot, 2 Gunners) The turrets are located in the rear of the craft one on top, one underneith. The one the top turret gives you a 360 degrees of fire, meaning the you have everything above the craft....the lower turret believe the 360 below the craft...Never maned the lower turret. So in theory you could put 3 guns on a target infront of you...but you still have to have gunners. I hope this helps...have fun
