Acid Hydra is a rank 7. You’d be doing yourself and your team a favour by skipping it altogether. Rank 7’s are just… terrible ships.

 

Unfortunately, you’re asking for advice on what is the most useless class in the game; to be honest, I doubt most of the people you will fly with will want to help you - they’ll want you to go find a different ship to fly.

LRF are highly, highly situational, and I would only see use for them in well coordinated corporation VS corporation team battles, where other corporation want’s to surprise the other team with odd hidden sniper assisting in taking down healers if the map is open one and the game mode suits it (rare). There, the build must be for damage (can the module damage be increased though?), and for survivability (hide + fend off interceptor).

 

There is no build that would make any LRF useful for any of the current arcade (Sector Conquest) game modes. Maybe Combat Recon, but only one to force enemy captain to not be offensive (which they sometimes are).

 

This answer was given, as if you ask for build, it means that you’re at least some what serious player, not pure “play for fun even if the ship is not optimal to the task at hand”. Because if you were of the latter type, you wouldn’t be asking the question you’re asking ^^

Wish i could skip him, but there are some t3s engi later on, so i am forced to buy it.

Right now Hydra 2 is best choice, maybe i should get 6 million credits, stay at t2, and when i have enough ranks, buy averything up to the Cerberus 2.

That’s what I would do - the Acid Hydra is a total waste of money. Grind T2, skip to Rank 9 T3 and sell all the Mk I junk off your unwanted ships.

Ok, this is a pain.

I have to get 9 million creds? seriusly?!

How i am supposed to get that amount of money on a reasonable timescale?!

Fly with the rest of us - I don’t know about you but I physically cannot spend my credits in-game fast enough to ever see them go down. You can very easily make over a million every hour.

 is that Tier2 or 3 you make those credits?

 

i need reputation most right now but if i get blues for my ships or even mk2 i’ll get broke. and fast :frowning:

 

hit empire rank8 yesterday, so close to cerb… still wondering to hit feds engineers since they have guard aswell instead of the LR frigate which is… a joke unless i point it at bad intys that blowup instantly :slight_smile:

Either works, the income is fairly similar - though PvP wise I fly a lot more T2 than T3 at the moment. The money is good, the gameplay is a bit more action-packed/faster and you meet a larger variety of opponents.

 

I do put down fairly consistent scores in T2 though, so your mileage might vary. Try both and see what works best for you.
