Hi all
Are missiles and torpedos the secret of killing ancients cos a basilisk with class 10 guns armour and champion shield does not seem to do the trick
or am I missing something here,whenever I meet any to do the quest theres just this fizzing sound as I get blown to junk everytime.
Any help/spoiler will be much appreciated as I think Crossfire is a magnificent game but I seem to be at a dead end with these Ancient fellows!
Vardek.

Great then Starflier with adv hydroxin thruster should do the trick.:)

Buy a Lagg at Sovetskaya... the fastest small ship arround
Other players are hunting hundreds of Ancients for $$ They are not the hardest aliens... they're just drones.

well. If you're all about missiles.. yes. then you will just have 3 (or less) guns to use.
but remember.. the missiles need to HIT the target to have any effect otherwise you might spend more than you will earn with that missionjust move all the time and dont try to face them directly. and also try to stay in a bit distance, since you might die faster if you are too close to them

The Ancients also attack in groups of 3 or larger, so pick one and concentrate on only one at a time.
When they appear on your scanner, I sometimes head back to the GMG base and hover around that, this seems to stop them temporarily from attacking and sometimes this spits up the threesome so I can attack one of them at a time.
You most definitely need a fast ship in order to stay moving and try to keep your distance. Missiles work but only up close...dangerous because their guns can knock out your shield with a few shots. Good Luck.

I guess I have to draw pictures to you... WITHOUT USING MISSILES/3 GUNS ONY IS ENOUGH

Don't tell your situation on the "best pilots" group

I second that, some of us can and have faced the Doms solo and flew back to Sirius to tell about it. (with some nice trophy alien-tech weapons in cargo to boot)

Hi all
Ive tried absolutely everything and I cant kill any Ancients except maybe one of three,and as soon as he explodes the other two fill my screen with gunfire and I'm dead,there is
no time to evade and the champion shield might as well not be there for all the good it does.The Ancients have just been written to hard so sadly I'm giving up Crossfire which
is a shame cos I was really enjoying the game,I can handle Nomads,Dom'Kavash,Coalition Rogues but Ancients are (for me anyway) impossible.
Cheers

Single Player? What Ship? What Equipment.
Hey i am by far not the best player in movements - but i could manage to kill some of them. So its really feasible. Hard but feasible. If you are playing multiplayer - ask someone else to escort you.It would not be the Ancients if they would be easy to kill ;D

No need to give up Vardek...
just keep trying and you'll soon find some joy
It took me a while to master these guys, and the more you fight them the better you get.
But I do sympathize with your frustration level, I have the same frustration with the Inner Core aliens, but I refuse to give up!

discourage the boy instead of helping him mike, very good idea !!
Seriously, you might not notice it, vardek, but every fight you do with the Ancients is a fighting lesson... learn from your mistakes.... try different equip setups. May be try missiles and torps if you havent tried it... its good for ppl with low targeting skills (like me)...
