OWP Killing Methods?

Post by Hieronymos » Thu, 4. Jun 09, 04:40

Any OWP Killers out there?
Am looking for feedback from players experienced with destroying OWP's.
What strategies/ships/weapons do you favor for each OWP model?

Thanks!

I've never tried to kill an OWP but I've never seen a small or medium OWP with IBL, so I'd say just out-range those. If you don't have a destroyer, the TLS would do the trick.

I own 6 Large OWPs. The Xenon love to kill them. They are are not really that hard to destroy. They only have three 2GJ shields. Bomb them at a distance and they'll return to their birth weight in no time.

Missile Barrage. Either Hammer barrage with some Flails to distract attention or go the big Tomahawk barrage M8 obliteration method, which somehow feels more satisfying.

How does the ai usually arm SOWP's, MOWP's, & LOWP's?
Is it as lame as ai often is arming ships?

Mostly I see them firing CIGs and launching Banshee missiles with big gaps between them. It never seems to spam missiles.
