THE JUMPGATE DEFINITIVE GUIDE - Tripod

Specifics
Weapon load outs depend on your current ship configuration, financial situation, piloting style, and personal preference, and as
such will not be discussed in this report. If you want to know "What guns should I use?" then just listen in popular F5 channels as
there is usually a debate fought with what must be preprogrammed ammo/laser debate macros as it rarely differs from day to day.
Which ever you choose to use, read the sections that apply to the other style as well because many of the same techniques are
applicable to both weapon types.
Conflux Aim
The first shot a Conflux take will fly straight ahead of it's path. As long as you are not in a perfect joust, it will always miss on the
initial volley. For every shot following, though, most evidence indicates that the aiming ability of Conflux is best likened to a TRI
pilot using a Duelist perfectly lined up.
This is why laser firing Conflux always hit, why ion firing Conflux usually hit but will miss at sharp angles, and why ammo/plasma
firing Conflux have a much harder time scoring hits. The Conflux do not compensate for the Duelist's error the way human pilots
can. This theory also explains why the heavier, slower accelerating eel will will appear to have a "worse" aim than the lighter,
quicker phoc.
