The DDTC 1.1 Update Released
- Thread starter GT182
- Start date
I see you are learning the secrets of the cheat menu, it is one powerful tool. If you really want to set yourself up to do some serious A$$ woopin, try an Eagle (M6) that thing can reall kick butt, it also has a docking port so you can take a "Little Friend" along. I started a new game just to test some of the ships and put together a hunter killer squadron, it has been quite a blast rollin ginto a pirate sector and trying to clean house, even with a good wing of fighters it is not easy. Here is what I call my Hunter Killer Squad (I rename all my ships by their type first then a number to ID them from other like ships);
M6-600-Eagle - Command ship which I pilot.
M4-400-Siren - my personal fighter which is docked to M6-600 (Model from Wing Commander)
M5-501-Awing - 5 of these ships are Red wing #'s 501-505, these are assigned to Protect me as I explore then I issue the Attack All enemies comand if I get in a real furball
TP-001-Cottonmouth - This is a model of the Melinium Falcon from SW, I use it as a scout ship, I send it ahead a few sectors with the Patrol Command, then I can get a good idea of what is out there, it can take care of itself and has the legs to get out of dodge if the odds are not good.
M3-301-Dralthi - 3 of these (301-303) Blue wing assigned as protection for TP-001 "Just in case" (model from Wing Commander and very nicely done)
TM-002-Banded Kait - I love this ship, it was a reward in one of the missions, it is a cross between a Transport and a small Carrier, it has a reasonable load out so it can put up a fight, fairly good speed as well, but what I really like is the thing has docking bays for 8 ships, when I go into a sector and do some capping this thing is perfect for taking the prizes home, AND it has a good size cargo hold to boot so I can issue the Collect All Wares command and it will run around all by itself and collect all of the dropped cargo and missles left behind.
I do have a few other ships mostly parked at stations while I play with this Squad and a couple of UT's to keep the cash flow going, but so far this is the most fun I have had, I am liking being a Hunter Killer, I just might join the Assians Guild if I come across them...lol
Oh and BTW I decided to run this time without cockpits, I was not happy with a few of the ones on XTD, and you know I am really starting to like the extra realestate on the screen, it takes getting used to but I am liking it very much now.
Thanks Mike for this cool detailed feedback on the ships. I will definately be getting this!

Looks like you are right on the money, DDTC is like the Vanilla TC.
Rewards do increace tho the better your Combat Ranking gets. I'm starting to see that now.
I am going fairly well now with missions I just finished a 3 sector p[atrol and baged 140K, took out 14 Zenon ships which helped. I did bag 2 Zenon P's which are worth 35K each, so there is money to be made in them thar sectors.
Oh and Bill you really need to give the Apache a try, that thing is awsome, carried a huge punch and can take a real beating, it is my main patrol craft now it can also hold a nice amount of cargo.
