Hammerhead makes the Hard missions easy.

Post by crawlerw » Sat, 31. Oct 09, 13:40

a hammerhead is a pretty expensive missile. but its sale price is under rated by far.
I have been getting a few really hard kill missions lately. The reward is around 2.6-2.8 million.
These missions are easy if you got a hammerhead. just target the "target" and let it fly. a direct hit will wipe out any M6 thats not terran. and its figther escort.
all you have to do after missile launch is to ether wait or go looking around the sector for more missions

...or a bunch of flails. Those missile frigates come complete with an "I win" button.
Split now give me death? Nah. Just give me your ship.

I've been getting really hard taxi missions lately, 3-4 mill for 28 mins delivery of some people, just keeps getting harder :lol: having a harmless rating sure makes missions easy :wink:

Just don't fire that Hammerhead from up close.

Anyone who ever has will know what I mean :roll:

Oh yeah - 1st time I used one I fired it from too close, and I've never done it since!

Only time I get stung by them now, is when a pirate fires one at me whilst we're dog fighting up close :(

You should tell that to pirate M3s. Twice I've had one of them think the ideal response in a firefight is to launch a hammerhead at close range.

Has anyone else noticed the Xenon have stopped their Hammerhead spamming from X3:R? In TC, I just wander around the Xenon sectors, hoovering up Hammerheads.
