[AP] Xenon I kicks butt

[martimus]

I decided to take one of my I's out for a spin, and my lord it is awesome. I jumped into Asteroid Belt, and there were two Tokyo's and a Kyoto sitting there. I figured I would die a horrible death, but I wanted to try it out. I have never flown a M2 before, but the thing that makes it awesome is it launches firestorm missiles in Barrage. The first Tokyo died in maybe 10 seconds. I wish I had more missiles, but after that it launched hornets in Barrage. I ran out of missiles and had maybe 20% shields by the time I got to the Kyoto, but this thing handles better than my cobra. I was ablle to keep 18 PPCs on him while staying out of his PSP fire. He died fast too, although I was down to no shields. Eventually I made it out of there with 26% hull after clearing the rest of the sector.

I really like this ship. It was fun to fly. But the barrage of Firestorms makes it a total beast!

EDIT: Oh yeah, in order to barrage set the rear turret to attack enemies. The rear turret is the missile turret.

Once again confirming that if you need to nuke a sector, missiles are the way to go.

Firestorms though... that's just cruel. A barrage would send like, a fully shielded Valhalla's worth of damage >.>

Wow I guess I have to try mine, it never looked better than megalodoon on paper and I just dropped in a corner of my home sector. Firestorm torpedo factory is the next thing to build ...

The I vs. the Kyoto.

I called in my second I to save me. Luckily I did, since he helped take out the escorts for the Kyoto (I called him too late to actually help me with the two Tokyo's and the Kyoto. I had just had him jump out when an Osaka jumped in. I decided to attack him too in hopes of more PSP's (I got 4 form the Kyoto ) I had 70% shields and 26% hull, but I have such a slim profile that I just strafed around him while rotating my ship to keep the front and one broadside on him (18 PPC's) Luckily he didn't have any missiles, because I was all out of mosquitos. He only dropped ammo, but I grabbed that too, since I am trying to fit out my own Tokyo and 2 Kyotos.

I guess you can only post one pic per post. This is the pic of the second I.

You can have multiple images in a single post, although the image should not larger than 640x480, hence many use thumbnail based links to the fullsize image.
