    hi forum.

    i play a couple of days and i tried all the ships and chose to max out the Speeder.

    what are some good setups for speeder ships please? i would like to concentrate only on the weapons and items i will use and scrap the rest, and train crew members that compliment those items first. thank you in advance

    also, what is the difference between speeder and enforcer? they both look like good ships with similar stats.

    Alright, here are some useful items you might need as a speeder later in the game. So if you get high rarity of these items, you should probably save them instead of scrapping:

    RED SLOTS:
    - Standard Cannon
    - Blast Cannon
    - Sniper Cannon (good to use with critical hit chance % perks)
    - Flare Gun
    - Carronade
    - Triple Torpedo (some people like it, some don't)
    - Railgun (little tricky to use effectively but can be very good to sink fixers and low hp enemies one shot)

    YELLOW SLOTS:
    - Tesla Bolt
    - Tesla Shield
    - Frost Blaster
    - Overboost

    BLUE SLOTS:
    - Bandage
    - Turbo
    - Big Shield

    I know some people could still prefer some other items but this list can definitely get you started. :)

    cool. thats very helpful.
    what about big torpedo and mine, are they good for speeder?
    and how much hp does the flare gun take from enemies and how does it work? can i shoot it twice for stacked effect?

    There are some speeders that successfully use big torpedo and/or mines but they are both pretty hard weapons to use effectively. It is not easy to hit targets using big torpedo, and mines are never guaranteed to do any damage. As speeders never have more than two weapons, it's usually not a good idea to use half of that capacity for weapons that have such a high risk of missing all of your shots.

    Also flare gun takes down the enemy hp for a long period of time, usually something between 15-20 seconds, so the total damage can get high. And yes, the damage will stack if you shoot it twice. :)

    for the yellow slots, which is better to have. tesla bolt or frost blaster? am guessing each pairs up better with different types of weapons?

    Freeze is good with torpedos and help own team most. Tesla covers your own ship while reloading. So no certain match ups. I recommend you to use which ever suits you better

    i think i will go with frost blaster, since tesla bolts crew abilities conflict with tesla shield.
    i just found a rare tritorp, but couldn't get the hang of it. doesnt work well as primary weapon i guess, so i will stick with cannon for now.

    need an advice from experienced speeders.

    is having 2 overboost equipped good or should i switch one out for turbo? i tried both version in battle and couldnt tell which is better combo.
    fyi once i reach mk3, ill use Tesla shield instead as its impossible right now.

    thank you

    For my speeder I'm currently mk2
    I use
    1 level 9 rare cannon with a perk equipped
    1 level 11 uncommon nitro with a perk
    1 level 11 over lost with 1 perk equipped currently
    1 level 10 turbo

    I've found this to be great for gunning and runing or also for drawing fire away from a short distance due to the speed you can evade most fire

    2 overboosts wont help you anyother way than getting 2nd on while 1st is still cooling down. Those effects won't stack so it's actually a bit of waste of space in mk2 speeder. Use nitro as 2nd yellow because with that you can burst away from mortar fire.

    true they didnt stack, although I found out, that with 2 overboost i can have the speed effect for the entire battle without waiting for its cooldown, if i equipped only one.
    nitro is nice for the dodgeability, but well, mortar cant catch me either way so i wasnt sure what to equip lol.

    also am using a rare lvl10 bandage in the blue slot with uncommon perk atm, instead of turbo. i like having the ability to heal some dmg while on the run, if i do get hit.

    gear lube on a speeder worth it?
    in a theory, it should be a staple imo, as you are moving at high speed, the turret cant keep up most of the time.
    thoughts?
