1. Introduction
Some of this descriptions you could find also in the game manual. Since no
control on fight and first person guns checking is allowed, you have to think
thoroughly in order to achieve better results. Sometimes the turret version
of a gun have different specifications and Alien/Bersekr weapons cannot be
used without special adaptation, meaning you have to put points in this
ability for one of your wingmates. Check ship speed/maneuverability and gun
rate of fire, damage and range to enhance team survival ( see my Star Wolves
faq, tip x ) and try the best combination fitted your purposes. Since a
table is to big for notepad I mention ships/guns/missiles/systems
characteristics before the actual presentation to reduce space consumption.
Also I choose to present only things you can use, so alien fighter and
gunship description are not included.
2. Ships
The following characteristics should be taking in consideration when buying
a ship : 1.Shields, 2.Armor, 3.Speed, 4.Maneuverability, 5.Sensor range,
6.Big gun slots, 7.Small gun slots, 8.Rocket/Missile slots, 9.System slots.
