[X3TC] Typical Xenon Q Load-out?

Post by IanFitzJo » Tue, 19. Aug 14, 14:12

What is a typical load-out for a Q? I'm usually too busy shooting at them (or being shot at by them) to make a note?

I've just acquired my first one and want to load it out "authentically".

Depends what you want to use it for. If it is for OOS sector patrols load it up with max heaviest guns. If you are going to use it then you have to balance out otherwise you will run out of weapons energy quickly and become a sitting duck.

Authentic is PPC in the front. This is what makes it so dangerous in OOS combat.

It's a trophy ship, more than anything vr01. So I was thinking of kitting it out like it would have been pre-capture.

dont use the Q until you can Re'E it in your PHQ.. the Q can be produced in just 18 hours making it a really good swarm M7

Whereas you can produce almost any other M7 in seconds by just buying it at a shipyard... :)

They are not very good IS, but they are god like OOS. I would use IBL's in the front turret, PPC's in the side and FAA's in the other turret.

Very authentic and can one shot most other ships OOS with the massive firepower it has.
1940s - Various "computers" are "programmed" using direct wiring and switches. Engineers do this in order to avoid the tabs vs spaces debate.

Thanks Jack775544! My new toy is now packing 8 IBLs up front, 2 PPCs on each side and 2 CIGs above and below. Heaven help any pirate squad that attacks my complex while I'm OOS!

In my limited n00b experience, the typical Q loadout likely consists of just one weapon - Finger of God.

I hate those things. :evil:
