Spaceship CountermeasuresFollow

#1 Aug 10 2009 at 9:25 PM Rating: Good
I'm stuck on a pilot mission where I go to the Corellian system and get attacked by 7 or 8 Tier-3 ships. I have all level-5 components on my ship (can't use level 6 or 7, yet). I keep getting shot out of the "sky" 30 seconds after engaging. I figure that if I use countermeasures, I'd last much longer. Problem is, I don't know how to use 'em. I have some chaffs and a chaff dispenser, I just don't know how to launch them.

Anybody, please? Thank you in advance.

Which squadron are you flying for, there are three squads for each faction, Rebel, Imperial and Neutral.

What kind of ship are you flying, and what are your shields like?

Are you using any overload programs?

I am currently flying an Ixiyen ship for the Neutral faction.

My armor and shields are all level 5 (the highest I can use until I beat this mission and advance in my training).

As far as overload programs, unless you're talking about a flight computer, I have none.

Oops! Correction, I am flying a Tier 4 Rihkxyrk ship.

I would suggest taking a look at the Pilot FAQ in order to find out about overload programs, which are basically space buffs which make you hit harder, fly faster, shoot for longer etc etc.

Also, look out for other Pilots who might be able to help you, what server are you on?

my advice is not to use the rhyx ship, may sound weird but the dunelizard is a pretty good ship, use a decent level 3 reactor and 4 engine, and then highest level shields etc you can fit, make sure you have weapon capacitor overload on your flight computer, and cap - shield shunt programmed, those 2 are probably the most useful :D
so basically you need the flight computer, i dont like the rhyx, too slow to manoever, and its all about speed and turning, which it can't ;D

Cloud speaks much sense!

The dune is a much better choice for you, the only thing the rhx has over the dune is mass, and you will struggle to fill the mass of a newly crafted dune with lvl 7 parts.

(all you need for CM's is the Chaff launcher, higher level equipment makes very little if any differance for much more mass. and your Droid interface only has to have a recharge equivelent to the length of time it takes your capacitor to recharge, no point having anything faster that, its just is a waste of mass)

You will also need a lvl 4 flight computer.

In there you can fit

REACTOR OVERLOAD 4 (freelance 4444+ pilot)
CAPACITOR to SHIELD 3 (you should be able to program that)
CAPACITOR OVERLOAD 3 (you should be able to program that)
WEAPONS OVERLOAD 3 (imperial pilot 3333+) Now you might find that sucks the juice out of your cap to fast, if so use WOL2 instead.
ENGINE OVERLOAD 3 (Imperial pilot 3333+)

You'll find that will raise your game somewhat
