Eric's retainers were coming, and if he didn't kill me before they arrived, then I was confident that they'd do the job - probably with a bolt from a crossbow. Then there were some alarms and excursions in the hall outside. The first time, as I remember, it was pretty much a draw."Īnd his eyes were wide with amaze and his voice heavy with that which men call sarcasm, and I can't think of a better word, as he replied:
"You know where you left me, to die of the plague. If I didn't hate him so, I would have applauded his performance. Doing that I quickly got the Terran plot started. So I started up as the USC Commander and went all apeshit-crazy against those idiot Argons that kept trying to kill me. Ive just recenly started playing X3 AP again because of 2.5. But he dodged everything and came on strong, and I circled to his left and all like that, but I couldn't draw the point of his blade from my left eye. Board Index » X Universe » X3: Albion Prelude » Terran Plot - Reputation recovery made easy. So I snatched things off the desk with my left hand and threw them at Eric. Now there are two factories to the left of the South Gate. The greatest alive, I knew, was brother Benedict, and he wasn't around to help, one way or the other. This is the easiest way to start up: buy Ore in one of the asteroid mines (should be two over there, try both to see which one has it cheaper, it all depends on how much it has in magazines (aim for C50 per ore)), and head back to Argon Prime. We'd both had centuries under the greatest masters of the blade in business. I suddenly had the feeling that I couldn't take him, and I parried like mad and retreated in the same fashion as he beat me back, step by step. He was perhaps one of the greatest swordsmen I had ever faced. "Try and take it."Īnd he lunged then and beat me back, and I felt suddenly that for all my work he was still my master. "The fact that I was able to occupy the throne," he replied. "More than one of us are assembled against you."
Then I lunged, was parried, was attacked, and parried again myself. I set it aside, hopefully in the direction of his face, with my right toe, but it missed and he had at me again. He parried this and kicked a small stool between us. But you must recall that I've defeated you twice, mercifully granting you your life on a Shadow world the last occasion." I don't know why we are driven to strive so for this ridiculous position. "It's true, that uneasy-lies-the-head bit. "Oh, damnable brother" he said, retreating. His hand was still steady but I had the feeling then that under other circumstances, by fighting a defensive fight, I just might be able to wear him down with that wrist injury going against him, and perhaps I could get through his guard at the proper moment when he began to slow. There was blood dripping from his right wrist. Poorly, on other counts, however."Īnd his blade was in his hand and mine in mine. Let's see what you learned on the Shadow Earth." And I'd like to quit your claim right now. Ultimately, the universe of the X games is beautiful, but somewhat cold. Slay me, and the throne will probably be yours. If you wish to try me at arms, I find myself suitably attired. "Then it is between the two of us now, Corwin," he said. But the Nova Raider is able to launch a nice variety of missiles.I tried a very fancy attack I'd learned in France, which involved a beat, a feint in quarte, a feint in sixte, and a lunge veering off into an attack on his wrist. Thunderbolt missiles would work here too. The chance for friendly-fire incidents is too high.Īll my Nova Raiders carry Tempest missiles but I expect mine to be fighting other M3's. Personally, I don't use Plasma Buster Generators in any of my fighters. The High Energy Plasma Thrower is a good weapon too for these guys. These require ammo and the ammo takes up some cargo space, but they have the same range as the PRG's. If I'm not carrying a 'full load' of missiles, I will mix Energy Bolt Chainguns with the PRG's. In the rear turret I always have a Phased Repeater Gun and have it set for 'missile defense'.įor main guns I like using 8 Phased Repeater Guns in most of my Nova Raiders.īut I do have some with a mixed weapon loads. My weapon load-out (totally personal) goes like this I have mine grouped together into 4 or 5 ship squadrons/wings. And the stats are the same for TC and AP. I play TC but I think that the Nova Raider is one of the better M3 fighters available.
