The Pike/Quell starfighter is designed to do maximum damage when you use missiles and torpedoes. The starfighter can be equipped with two types of missiles or secondary weapons that make it possible for you to use a variety of strategies when in battle. Most of the strategies used with the Pike/Quell are long-range combat oriented with some dogfighting capabilities. You can equip the Pike/Quell with loadouts that will make it difficult for your enemies to counter your attacks and there is a missile for all types of situations.
Since it’s hard to get requisition, it’s a good idea to know what type of components you want for your Pike/Quell in advance. Knowing a little about the ship and what it has to offer will help you make the best decisions and that is what this guide has to offer.
Pike/Quell Basic Weapons Strategies
As you get accustomed to flying your Pike/Quell, you’ll learn which strategies work the best for you depending on the situation but these strategies will help you get started as you learn more about your starfighter. Learning which missiles to use during each type of encounter is very important because some will do better in certain situations than others depending on what type of ship you’re fighting.
Here is a list of the different types of missiles and the type of scenario in which they work the best:
- Proton Torpedoes- These are long-range missile (7km and over) that do extensive damage to the hull of the targeted ship and it goes right past the ships scouts and ships with flames or low health.
- Cluster Missiles– These missiles are great when dog-fighting but they don’t do as much damage as the proton torpedoes or the concussion missiles.
- Concussion Missiles– Use these missiles anytime you can’t use the cluster or proton torpedoes effectively. They are good to use when the enemy ship is a long distant away because you do have to lock-on the target before firing. Of course, after you become experienced, it won’t take as long to get a lock and you can use them more often.
Now that you have a basic understanding of the missiles the Pike/Quell is equipped with, here are a few basic strategies you can use when battling the enemy.
Strategy for Battling a gunship because you’ll want to protect your ship from their fire as much as possible.
- Quick Recharge Shield– Activate this shield immediately after taking a hit from the enemy gunship.
- Charged Plating– As soon as you’re within attack range, activate this shield immediately before you begin the attack run.
- Directional Shield– When engaging the enemy, move all of the shields to the front of the ship and slowly move towards the gunship. When in range, use your missiles first to do as much damage as possible until you get close enough to switch to short-range weapons to take out the hull. If the gunship is firing upon you, boost power and move in as fast as possible while firing your missiles and hopefully, you won’t lose power to your shields before you have time to take out the enemy ship.
It’s important to note that proton torpedoes are very effective when used against gunships and you can usually take out a damaged ship with one proton torpedo and a healthy one with two torpedoes.
