Chieftain are your canopies/large beams holding up?

[caaront]

EDITED:

On every engage ment one of my two large beams stop working correctly, and I have to go into modules and repair it, every engagement.

Luckily I bought and stored various MC's Beams, and poulse beams, so I am going to load pulse beams now, or one large pulse, one medium pulse, and keep the medium MC, thisa toung.

Next round maybe two large MC, and a medium beam or pulse laser.

No canopy damage with three module mods in the opt iont milktary slots.

OP:


I was thinking of getting one, but in the Beta my canopy was usually gone in under 10 minutes so I kept having to go back to the station or do another rebuy.

It was no big deal because it was only temporary, but being live, the cr's do count for somethinbg and I may not want to take a huge loss.

Let me know how it turns out.

Not had it blown out once, stick a MRFP in one of the Military slots or get better at dodging incoming fire.

I do habitually "Nose Up" when enemies fire large-caliber canopy poppers though, like PA's so the chin of the ship takes it instead of the window. The Chief's pitch rate is such that it can do that.

Those Enzyme missiles though, lol. Take more damage burning the corrosion off.

I might get oner and get an mfrp, is that the repair thing?

[An Ning]

what's an mrfp?

I meant mefrp, what hobo posted way up, the first or 2nd reply, I have no idea, will check and see.

Module ReinForcement Package.

Those things that screen module damage from penetrating attacks. Never use a Lakon Ship without one.

I wonder if module mods in available otp int slots and an afmu would be good, in preventing, and repairing cracks, a breasch would require taking her in.

[caaront]

Oops, just what I potes 3 seconds ago, lol.

Are they effective as the hull mods in protection?

[caaront]

I am going to watch the AFMU in action in a few youtube cideo's, then I may go get a Chieftain.

[Hobo Misanthropus]

Module Reiforcement packs are extremely effective at protecting from Module damage, but add no Hull points.

But if you're flying a ship that isn't shield tanking 100% of the time, you should always have a Module Reinforce to prevent thruster, canopy or Powerplant snipe.

I run 2, because with Reactive Compositis (modded to Lightweight for Mass management reasons) and 1Hull Reinforce pack, I'm still over 1500 hull, which given the Chief's agility and decent shields, is more than enough.

Remember the chief has 3 Military slots, so they can only be Hull, module or shield bank reinforcers.

AFMU doesn't work on a shattered canopy I think...

Do the repair limpets work as good or better?

Not much experience with Repair limpets.

[caaront]

How about doing the three military with asll module mrs, and loading up the utilities with a chaff launcher and the rest with shield boosters, and a class A shield in core int?

It will still be a bit before I am ready to hardcore engineer.

And thank you for your help.

I could not see a crack in his canopy, but just now I saw a kid in youtube show that his was at 89%, which is probably not very bad, but he deployed, pulled the trigger and was instantly repaired.
