@@sterlingroberts6240 Why does it have to be based on anything? It's just a sci-fi fighter design. If you HAD to pick a contemporary fighter though, it would NOT be the F-15, which it looks nothing like. Forward swept wings? Try Grumman X-29.
War Thunder is free, has a lot greater variety.. and, oh yeah, makes you a combat pilot instead of a jouster. You shouldn't have to nerf yourself to enjoy a game.. that just means the game isn't that good.
I saw something similar but with 3 rail guns . Was difficult to manage the heat and power out put though , but stay close in on the target seems to be the key to using a small ship like this
The inertial impact on the Cyto is indeed impressing, being one of the most dps in the game, and the best raw dps in the small class. However the inertial impact make thes the damage half to kinetic, loseing damage to shield from 120% to 90%, which is a 25% loss. So overall compared to the oversized it is only 9% increase to shield, at the cost of heavy jitter, which is not a problem from point blank, but more problem from farther away or against smaller ships. Nevertheless i love this build. Never really bothered with the advance missle rack, i dont know the small has 8+64 ammo, which is waaay higher then the standard 8+16, makeing it a not bad weapon for small class, but it is very hard to hit something with it. The huge problem with missles is that they have decent damage on small class, but VERY low ammo, which gets better with class, but the damage remains the same. A Large class missle has 12+96 ammo (24+182 with high cap) which is good, but it has low dps compared to other Large weapons. It has good dps compared to small weapons, but that 8+16 ammo is nothing. And this is the dump fire. The seeking ones are even worst, with the small class having only 6+6 ammo. The missles are the realy hit and miss weapons in Elite.
@@puzzle2012 The Adv. Missile seems a good choice. The alternative for small against hull are: - Overcharged enforcer cannon (Power Play module). Smaller damage but more consistant dps, and one can be corrosive which has an +25% damage bonus along with AP increase for every weapon - Overcharged ordinary cannon. Higher Class for cannon are bad, but the small one is quite good. You can add an effect which confuses gimball weapons similar to chaff. For medium and large against hull: - High capacity (or overcharged) screening shell frag has a huge dps, but still suffer from low ammo. - Overcharged multicannon. They always reliable dps source. Corrosive is avaible still. - Imperial hammer. High consistent dps, but relativle low damage per energy (otherwords huge dist. draw). If plasma slug is added, then the ammo can be increased. Regular rail gun is bad, as with hammer you can shoot without stop, and doing so the charge time does not count. Regular rail needs to fire semi auto, and the charge time always count, haveing way less dps. I have a Viper MK3 with Cyto, C1 overcharged cannon, and 2 C2 overcharged multicannon.
I have a similar Eagle, however it uses two Cytos and a single pre engineered spicy guardian shard cannon. Effect is similar, although I made it to kill medium ships and have fun dueling small ships

Yes this is a powerplay reward for supporting Archon Delaine. Because you need a minimum of 4 weeks time pledged to a powerplay faction in order to obtain their special modules, I suggest you pledge to one as soon as possible.
@@KaiJason i pledged to the blue hair girl from empire, i think more thatn 4 weeks. but i didnt anything for her. now i joined the cryptoscrambler guy and my plan is to travel to his system and doing some missions. is that the right way?
Apart from pledging for 4 weeks, you also need to reach a certain level within the power by earning merits. You can watch edtutorial's video about this. th-cam.com/video/t7y6ecwGO4s/w-d-xo.html
@@svens3722 Jasonkai's link is very good, from memory Delaine's player group the, kumo crew, use power play to instigate pvp, so have specific requests.
packhounds do not work because they are homing missile, homing missile deal less damage and require lock on to fire. Advanced missile rack fires "dumbfire" missiles meaning they deal more damage but only fly straight
@@danielstokker If you want to know how it actually plays I actually have an old video where I do a middle CZ th-cam.com/video/2_nT6iM5Gv4/w-d-xo.html It is an imperial eagle with burst laser but the general idea is the same. Just this time I figure a 3 minutes montage is gonna be more entertaining than 15 minutes full conflict zone video.
@@KaiJason I was suggesting Mines. Your maneuvering skills seems good enough to use one small HP for Reverberating Cascade (Shock) mines to turn off shields.
To be fair a few months ago they greatly increased the efficiency of materials gathering and removed the random element in engineering. Now it is much more bearable
People who say this are a joke and out of touch with the game. How about try playing it instead of complaining with knowledge from three years ago, saltbag? With Ascendency, my copilot has engineered many combat ships from just the care packages alone. Mat grind? It only takes 5 minutes to fill up entire category of manufactured/raw mats.

considering how the eagle looks like a jet fighter this kind of setup makes a lot of sense
only thing it needs to finish the look is the ship kit wing pylons for a couple thousand arks 😐
It’s based on the F15 Eagle.
@@sterlingroberts6240lol no 😂
@@stab74 what’s it based on then?

The Eagle has such a respectable skill ceiling
1:28 I just love those giant ass beams for comparison afterwards. It's like you're shooting the Defiant's phaser cannons.
I have a fraction of an idea how difficult this was to edit together so well. It really is fantastic. Informative, Cinematic, /and/ funny.

I approve of this video. I often fly a practically identical loadout. Heck, I even fly an identical ship kit! 😆

That was most enjoyable. Nice build. Adv missile racks are overlooked. Higher cap than normal dumb fires.
I think I'll try this. Cool.
ah where to get the cryptoscrambler thing, please tell me.

I like your humor.
I absolutely love this build! But, as a beginner I want to ask if it's possible to use it with no engineering?
Not recommended. You will have to fly very carefully since Eagle is do squishy
@@KaiJason thx, mate! Then, I’ll rather use cobra, unless I’ve got enough credits to buy myself a chieftain ) o7
i am in the game for 2 years and i never know about the advance missile module
yeah probably because dumbfire missile is a very niche weapon in this game
@@KaiJason OK,
witch builds you recomend me for use enforcer cannons?
sus Eagle

What music did you use?

@@KaiJason Thanks. It slaps.
I've never seen this laser in the game, is it from some event?
its a power play module
@@SM-gm7qr ty man!
this is so good thanks
similar would probably work on courier you think? ( i dont have a courier yet)
Courier is faster but, less maneuverable. Its 3 medium hardpoints also mean it will be better with other medium weapons
@@KaiJason can you engineer pack hounds to do what you use these missile racks for? Or do pack hounds work diff
packhounds do not work because they are homing missile, homing missile deal less damage and require lock on to fire.
Advanced missile rack fires "dumbfire" missiles meaning they deal more damage but only fly straight
That was amazing
how come i cant find a 1f burst laser?
1f burst laser exist, it only comes in as fixed mount
Try a Courier variant on this, you get 2 level missile racks and can engineer them to be very fast maneuverable and have a lot of shields
woah
Its gonne be smash 1 big ship reload at station smash ship reload smash ship reload nahh
That is the thing, with high-cap advanced missile rack I have 140 shots to work with, I can smash a dozen before reloading 😁
Using penetrator munitions one can blow up a big ship's powerplant in 10 or so salvos

why u need scoop on a small fighter thou

Why not use reverb cascade to get rid of shields
Because you need up to 3 torpedoes to get rid of one shield

Lol you act like these are pvp vids lol it's just npcs.
It’s a shame how necessary engineering is. monotonous grind for materials is just so off putting and 100% the reason most people have quit.
