Ok, I have been trying to set up my Y-8, does anyone have an effective configuration on the lasers/tractors, or a technique?

Wait till Pub 24 comes out.


Complete POB ship component upgrades.


Then come and ask that question

I put a null-bolt blaster into the one forward firing gun slot and I fly around the Tat system at 1250 speed blasting tier ones. This seems to be the only thing the Y-8 is currently good for...

But you have to admit, that's buckets of fun right there!

If you want an all out shooting spree, All Elite Mining lasers on the ship (save the butt turret for a gun) would be the way to go, fire at everything you can stationary.


Or


You can have the pilot have a mining laser, the top turret a mining laser, the left chest a laser and the right chest a tractor beam. Since the Y-8 is so huge, when you auto-follow chunks the chunks end up near the center of the ship. If the fixed tractor beams correctly, all gunners in the chest turrets have to do is aim straight or up at the chunk; the left guy blows it up, the right chest guy sucks it in, just like in a fighter. Pilot to break off stuff, top gunner to catch any that fly away, bottom turret to fight baddies.
