I FINALLY got around to fiddling with my Vaskai- when I first saw that it only had one weapon slot, my jaw dropped. I was relaly thinking I had been ripped off. But man this thing is great against players- I found an X wing buzzing the ISD and he didn't see what hit him. I got his engines but was flying too fast to finish him off, so I looped back at a lower speed and WHAM! Get hit by a Krayt.

So I get back in it, take out the Krayt only to be hit by the X wing. Finally, I make a pass at the X wing and then turn to the Krayt, who clipped me with one of his three guns to nearly take out all my rear shielding,destroy the Kraytand loop back to the X wing to kill it. First time I got both of em.

FInally I got the Krayt and was going after the X wing when I got hit by a missile at point blank- with no chaff and no room to evade I was instantly vaped, so I had to land and get some chaff for my launcher which had been gathering dust.

However, as a Krayt man this new style of fighting is great. Actually avoiding hits succesfully is a real treat, and the speed really adds to the fun. Manuevering and managing speed is so much more important, and keeping tabs on your enemies at all times is a lot of fun as well. Now i have three players killed in DS- counting the multiples I haveseven kills and three deaths- if I get the ratio to 6:! I will be an ace!

yet another converted fighter pilot.

if you think the vaksai is awesome, you need to try something with a smaller hitbox like a g/jsf. you will take a third as many hits and will kick twice as much butt in deep space. plus with 2 weapon mounts you will have vastly more firepower provided you know how to equip it.

Don't listen to the evil man, JSF is for wimps.

A one gun ship, especially with a lot of mass like the Vaksai, can REALLY be deadly if you stick a nice big RE'd L10 weapon in there. Us the Nym's starmap reward for the damage, and look for other level 10's with low mass and refire rate (and a color you want of course Make sure to put that one in the tool first).

The size of your hitbox hardly seems to matter when they never get behind you.
