I've got plenty IBL, and i cant fit them on my Griffon.
So Which frigate should i buy-capture for using IBL
( I need a ship like griffon, not big, decent maneouverability and speed)
Edit: It has come to this : Tiggy or Aggy or Deimos?
(I need IBL mainly for taking out other frigates fast. so i dont need 8 IBL up front, so deimos can also be a choice? amirite? )

This old chestnut again! 
The Shrike gets the Gauss cannon, 4 of them; which along with a few IBL up front are excellent in the players hands! It also has a huge cargo bay and is cheaper than the Panther or the Tiger. ( I think by 10 million? )
The Tiger also does without a hangar and is ugly.
Then there are the Deimos which can mount only 4 IBl, but has the best anti fighter weapon. Or the best of many worlds the Agamemnon. Just a shame it too has no hangar and a smaller cargo bay.

Shrike can only support 1-2 IBL's in prolonged battles (almost forever ) and is better with something less energy hungry in main battery, actually IPG's do a good job since they deal high shield damage and GC rip hull apart, but anyway this is a bit off-topic
On topic the main IBL frigate is (IMO) tiger

At least the Aggy doesn't look like a giant phallus! Only useful for women and men with tiny peeing equipment!
As for the Shrike, with 8 IBL up front and four gauss on the sides, which fire forward too by the way, I can eat M2s, no probs! It just takes careful use of what energy you do have, try to not miss!

the boron thresher isnt a bad choice, the 10 slots up frount are not turrets, so it avoids the slow turret swing, it is rather wide as a sidenote so just be aware you dont wing clip your own frigets n destroyers when your messing around its also rather quick and can turn just as good as most corvets.....
overall its like a huge fighter, i was thinking of seting up a fleet of like 8 of them to obliterate stuff
speaking of IBL's, Do they charge up? cause theres a diffrence in engergy used per shot , taping fire vs holding it for about a second n a half.... anyone know?

No problem. I Can easily get enought money for M7M, pods, ion weapons and mercs in 2-3 daysJumee wrote:Its really a matter of personal choice, both Aggy and Tiger are good frigates, you should just get both fly them and see which one you like more, oh and btw you cant buy Aggy you need to board it
Note that im not planning to carry the fight to destroyers. i've got a boreas full of PPC already(was going to buy a split m2, but no flak makes it hard)
the ISR is actually a pretty decent weapon for anti-fighter duty.
Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.
