Icy's

How much speed have the icy's ? Because I with a goliath with 540 speed i can't a circle of the skoll with them behind me .

 

If you have all 7900 speed gens on config with prom, you should be able to stay ahead of them. If not, get them... I don't know if it can be done with anything else.

 

I will try to finish the gate with spearhead I will have also the JAM-X ability and i will see . If you don't have kamikaze the gate is long even if you need to kill only the skoll in the last wave ( a bug ... ) .

 

u wont do it in a spear go in a goli with 6 lf4s on both cons fall speed one con fig with 2 sheilds ship as u will need speed to carcil the skull if u have moth and dinond u will do it i had trouble with a agis so use me spectrum

 

you are faster than icys

 

yeah u are a lot faster I did it in a aegis with 540 speed easily - but the problem is if he freezes u itl damage you so take out the ice meteors then the icys then skoll

 

so dont get icy's... that is the key I think... but for this thread, I have 492 and in a straight line I can rep... circle is different depending on how you do it...

 

on skoll hit for a few vollys back out come back and repeat
if it doesnt start to target you no icy spawn
did hard get on ga5 with a 5 falx 2 iris 15 lf3s 8 bo2s and 4 pp
easy gate just took alot of time

 

Important thing is dont hurt its shields too much... the HP doesnt rep fast (tho the shields do) so hit and run as WΛßΙ§ĦΚΙΙ‡ΜΛ‡ΙΙΠĢΛΔΠ has said... it takes time but it works

 

I did it in a suicide using a goli with max engines I did not kill the little ices i circled in an egg shape pattern there by causeing damage to the skoll but not taking damage from the ices after the skoll was done i switched configs and kamied the ices

 

I sent all the npcs to the corner. On Skoll, i used kami but the thing doesnt always shoot you. So I went in on guns when it was sitting...kamied if it was shooting then quickly backed out on speed...got it to a certain point where I just dove in and fired good ammo and rockets...backed out....repeating that a number of times until it ran to the corner.
Then I just let my pet nick at it while i repped. Staying on speed with good ammo, I dive in and fire...back away out of locking range.. Kept doing it until it was low hp. Kept my kami active for when it would shoot me. Very easy if you are patient. Good ammo helps make it quicker.
You want to worry about hit points, not shield. Moth helps. Venom helps but special only comes up every 15 mins and doesnt do all that much damage.
Key is dont let it target you and you wont have to deal with the little icys. Also, dont let it damage you too much so you can keep hitting it. Cuts down the time you are fighting it but if you have a lower-end ship you might have to rep alot. Hit and run tactics are best.

 

this may also work ▼Iron_Mongrel▼ but can no longer check as gate done... I didnt see a single icy on my last pass.. but it does take time and patience...

 

You should be able to outrun them since I have 540 speed too and I can outrun them. It does take time to get some distance between you and icy, though

 

One speed, One battle = problem solved. The ship makes no difference.

 

i killed skoll then big icy roids on my min server....dont really need to kill the big icys first

 

The tactic with not spawning the icy's is important ( after i read some threads ) . I killed first the two ice meteroids : ( when skoll come , shoot two times - it will block like falcon ) and then continue to move and kill the meteroids . After that start shooting the skoll until like 8 % of it's shield it's down . Get back a little and then when it moves again , go again and continue . It will has its shield recovered but the hp not . Continue in this way until it will be killed . For me with moth ( a lot faster ) and x2 with an fe account took like 25 minutes ( 30k of x2 ) but you can do it without moth and with x1 of course .

 

although not as specific as yourself Jurjstyle I said the shields were where I thought its weakness was...

but it is possible as you have said to all... it's all a matter or how long and how much 'respect' you have to give the Skoll

 

So using this tactic, the skoll didn't spawn any icy??

 

Yes ... he spawns icy's after a certain percent of shield , not hp .

 

I had to punch myself for not realising that when I did the easy gate
Thank you Jurjstyle.
