Point singularity madness!

Post by philip_hughes » Fri, 8. May 09, 10:57

Just capped an Osaka. the thing had 8 of these babies on it, so I decided to test them out. First salvo, half the shields of my split M7M gone. Second salvo, 2nd half. Thats 3 gigs! I presume the third salvo and my ship will be... a singularity!

Any other use?
Split now give me death? Nah. Just give me your ship.

you can charge them up and they will do more dammage just keep the triger pressed.
You can destroy an m2 with 6gig of shielding in 1 shots that way.

Sadly they don't have good firing rate so their effective damage per second is lower than PPCs.

It's still a kickass weapon. Plus there are ships in this game that can mount so many PSPs so they can kill an M7 with a single shot. Imagine the feeling of power under your thumb when you do that. :-)

The downside is that to charge them you need to go in the turret thet mounts them and hold down the trigger until they are charged to max and fire by themselves.

This way you have no control on the ship speed or facing.

This way you can strip all shields on a M2 with two charged volleys (and do some damage to the hull too)

While completing the Aldrin Plot and fighting some Xenon i was placed between a K and 2 Osaka sitting in my Tiger, don't remember exactly, but the last things i saw were some PSP's coming from the K and a few from the Osaka which were aimed at the K right in that moment ... Result: Game Over !

Same happend later again while using a Springblossom to get fast from A to B, i accidentically catched some PSP's flying in my way.


Seems like they love me :/.

My first try with the PSP:

Me:Half-kitted Osaka with full PSP front only.
Target: Xenon M7 mucking around.

Manual target it, accidentaly keep the trigger pressed and wonder why it doesnt shoot.

'Oh there goes the shots now... hmm.... looks like snow crystals, a little bit different than PPC... looks good for now... seems like they are going to actualy even hit the M7'

BOOOM! *Xenon M7 debris flying all over my windshield + big light flash

WHAT WHAT WHAT THE H*LL JUST HAPPENED HERE! :D

And i also flew around the PSP shots with my Chimera during the Aldrin missions. strangely i never got hit by one. Good for me, apparently they fry you with one shot.
