Copyright ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Introduction The purpose behind writing this short guide was to make it much easier for players of Naval Ops: Warship Gunner to indentify the great variety of Auxillary Systems in this game, and to thus make it much easier for players to plan and construct the best warships possible. Personally, I have felt that a separate FAQ for the Auxillary Systems is merited. Having the systems layed out, rated, and catagorized provides ample information for all the shipbuilders out there to fufill the slogan on the back of the game box, "Strike hard, strike fast, and strike deep." The systems that can be optional, not including the sonar and radar systems, are rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. This is to further this guide's purpose of aiding the common shipbuilder. Also, the location column indicates if the system can be reasearched or which stages it has been confirmed to be in. D-05 is obviously a great location to obtain new systems that are very helpful in the game, but it is not actually easy to obtain these systems from D-05 until you have at least a prototype wave gun, which makes eliminating the enemy groups much easier. A wave gun can be obtained from defeating the Arahabaki and the Amaratsu (Stage C-10) on your second trip through the game. Please note that this is a work in progress. I am currently searching all of the levels of the game for more locations of the auxillary systems besides stage D-05. Also, there are only a few systems, specifically the fire delay systems, whose stats are still unknown to me at this time. I will fill the stats in as I obtain these parts. I hope that this guide will come in handy to all the shipbuilders around- good luck to all of you. *IMPORTANT* Note that all stage locations for the Auxillary Systems are for the SECOND (2nd) time through the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

Suggested Auxillary Systems Setups This list is meant to show the most effective way players can use auxillary systems at different points throughout the game. You don't have to follow this advice, in fact I highly suggest that you experiment on your own for best results. Note that an electromagnetic shield is CRUCIAL later in the game, as laser weapons can do massive amounts of damage if you do not have one. General Early Auxillary Setups (By around A-05) 1. Radar I 2. Sonar I 3. Auto- Load I 4. Electronic Targeting I 5. Electronic Blocking I 6. Auto Fire Extinguisher I 7. Emergency Hull purge I Advanced Setup facing Druna Skass (D-10 First Time) 1. Radar V 2. Sonar V 3. Auto- Load V 4. Electronic Targeting V 5. Electromagnetic Shield V 6. Electronic Blocking V 7. Auto Fire Extinguisher V* *The auto fire extinguisher was chosen over the hull purge as a result of experimentation on my part. It appears that fires occur much more oftern than hull breaches do, and not only that but a slight reduction in speed won't affect mission results as much as a damaging fire could. Setup Facing Druna Skass (D-10 second time through) 1. Radar beta 2. Sonar beta 3. Auto- load theta 4. Electronic Targeting theta 5. Electromagnetic Shield beta 6. Enigmatech Alti 7. Enigmatech Sturla or Bow Thruster* *Whichever system you have obtained by this point will work ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.Credits Thanks to Koei for coming up with this excellent game in the first place! (and for the phrase on the back of the box mentioned in the introduction) Also, thanks to all the writers of FAQs on GameFAQs for the tips on setting up this FAQ, as it is my first. Thanks to all of the members who post tips on the Naval Ops boards for helping me beat this game in the first place. Finally, thanks to Koei again for creating a sequel to this great game! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V. Copyright Copyright 2004 T.
