Shark Shark: C-25 C-26 C-27 Bounty: ? ? ? Experience: 10000 10000 10000 Speed: 652 652 671 Shield/Armor: 97500k/?k 97500k/?k 97500k/?k Gun #/dmg/rng: 3/540k/2200m 3/780k/3000m 3/2950k/4500m FeatherFire = 810k/2400m; Nova= 2800k/2555m; Guardian = 99700k General The Shark is a behemoth. Although not radically larger than other flux, this flux is very heavy and very strong. Trying to shoot down a Shark with conventional guns is similar to attempting to stop an incoming asteriod with a hand-held pellet gun. With massive shields and a recharge rate that it estimated at over 1500k per second, bringing down a Shark takes a great deal of work, probably more than the 10,000 exp payout is worth. Advantages Extraordinary speed Extraordinary shield and armor Excellent firepower Disadvantages Moderate acceleration Large profile Tactics Lasers: Lasers do not have sufficient power or range to wear down a Shark’s shields. Even if you make a Shark turn away, it tends to come back with signifigantly recharged shields. Ammo: Although ammunition based weapons do pack the punch and range to defeat a Shark in long, straight joust, a Hitman rail gun does not have sufficient ammunition to kill a Shark, and Barraks do not have sufficent punch. Novas: Novas are the only gun known that has the punch and unlimited ammo that gives it the ability to defeat a Shark’s shield and incredible recharge rate. Be sure to make very long runs, despite its shield recharge rate, because getting multiple good shots in is absolutely critical to even making this flux turn. For more on how to joust, drift joust, turret, and circle fight effectively, read Ammo vs Lasers: The Duelist. Missile Usage Outruns all classes of missiles, although dive-bombing is possible F-18 Copyright © by Conflux War Command Center All Right Reserved. 132
Sentient Conflux General: Concerning the sentients, we must throw out everything we have previously known and been taught about the behavior and fighting methods of conflux. Sentients behave erratically, have greatly improved speed and shielding, but lack the weapons accuracy of their drone predecessors. Sentients can appear as any class of conflux from c0 to c12. Also, it seems their weapons load out has been changed from standard drone level weapons to various configurations as the sentients evolve. Fighting techniques related to the drone conflux do not apply to the sentients. You should approach fighting a sentient as you would approach fighting another TRI pilot. They have been known to run when damaged, change targets in the middle of combat, and even spare some TRI craft they should be able to dispatch with ease. Sentients can use our jumpgates to give chase or retreat whether the jumpgate is infested or not. They can "spawn" from nonjumpgate anomalies as well as from empty space. Additionally, while c7-c12 conflux are limited to certain sectors that are easily avoided, sentients appear seemingly at will in any sector of their choosing, even station sectors where we have never seen a single conflux drone. Classifications: Sentients have shown different abilities at different times and are given different classifications by TRIR which can be found here. Tactics: Effective battle tactics developed by the most experienced sent fighting pilots can be found here. Tactical Summary: Being a smart target in a sent fight is actually more valuable than being able to get kills. When they target you, they ALL target you. So, if you can burn your FFs in a circle fight or drift joust instead of running from them in a straight line, then 1) you are a hard target to hit so it's nearly as effective as being totally out of range and 2) you are keeping the sents at low velocity in a small area so others can GANK them. Heavy reliance on FF for defensive (and occasionally for the kill shot) purposes makes makes the Tensy and bombers pretty effective. Great firepower and armor makes the Nix pretty effective as well. The quick circle fighting/dodging of the Phoon helps it to be somewhat effective. Very high sentient velocity makes scouts and rangers largely ineffective. Often, when you jump out, the sents will not follow. So, when they get you to armor, it's time to head for a jumpgate and recharge a bit or dock. Going for a dock without jumping out/in is much riskier as you can always mess up and splash the station or get shot to death half a second from a safe dock. Missile Usage: Missiles will not usually hit sentients unless in a divebomb situation. And even then, sentients move so quickly that they don't usually hit. Missiles create lag and should not be used. F-19 Copyright © by Conflux War Command Center All Right Reserved. 133
