Thread: Whats a good rifle to destroy faction bases?
I use a spraystick and just autoattack while I look through my mail or my inventory or some such... sure it takes a couple of minutes and the damage isn't high end, but you are firing once a second and that adds up.

Is this the Orangehz from camelot the other day? Lol we thought you were mr/mdoc. O well sliced lasers unless you can afford speed sliced T21s. And whose base are you planning to farm at? XCS? WR? Good luck lol. See you there.
It doesn't make sense to use a T21 on mission bases/lairs because:
- The AP is not applied, so it makes no difference.
- The T21 is more expensive. You can normally buy 3+ LR for the price of one T21.
- LR has higher base damage.
- LR has lower HAM cost so you can afford to use specials.
- You can use any old LR for the task. I run LR's into the ground instead of my good T21/DXR6s.

I just lock and load my DLT20a, targe base, click attack, then go wash the dishes, take a nap, do some homework, come back and hope a herd of kusaks hasn't spawned on top of you.
I use a laser rifle myself, but same strategy. Check mail, /tell friends, see what's going on in /gu, watch TV, hehe
What do you mean the Laser has higher base damage? Do you mean higher average damage? Because I have T21s with over 200 minimum damage but no Laser anywhere near that.
