loadout for sector 88?

[namrog84]

I am in sector 87 just fine but both sector 88a and sector 88b can't do anything in. They out range me or instant kill me!

I think 88b has a massive ship that's not on sector data that does a lot more standard damage than the others.

Any tips/suggestions on weapon loadout?

At that point many enemies have those "big weapons", the white circle shots that do massive damage.
It might help to go with bomb launchers or charge lasers to be able to shoot them at longer range, so that each one can get only one big shot in, otherwise you might run into problems even with two deflectors.

Go with two deflector shields and one normal bulk shield, as you need to deflect them.

(battle cruiser only has 2 standard shields)

[best bulliet target]

you can use 1 shield type and then a defelctor and then change the setting on it for 2.
You can also try to add alot more shield (even running both battle and damage shard).

And upping base1 stats, adding in warp points to the standred stuff and mabey even tier up the battle OD.
sounds like overkill all that but those are abit of the areas you can also improve in.

and befor you try the 2 defelctor thing. It cannot be done anymore. There is a restrction on 2 deflectors. for our own good.

Oh, nvm then, I thought it went from 4 to 3 for ships, apparently it was 3 to 2.
