Yeper, ships do maneuver differently, usually the pecking order (fastest to slowest) is light fighter, heavy fighter, very heavy fighter, freighter. Now there are some exception to this rule, but that is the fun of experimentation. Now my Titan can turn much faster than my Eagle, but this usualy requires the Eagle to not be turning, hehe.

Actually.... my Dromedary handles better than the Eagle and Titan I formerly had.

From Class to Class of ships when you look at the spread and the different stats that each ship has like take for example the Eagle has 9900 units of armor, and the Titan has 12600 units of armor, and the Sabre has 10800 units of armor. If you were to take these into account alone, because these ships are pretty much the same except for the armor ratings you can with some amount of reason say that the Eagle has the best turn speed of the group followed by the Sabre and then the Titan respectively...

Apply the same principle to the lower classes of ships and you should be able to figure it out fairly easily...

I haven't personally seen the exact turning speeds for the ships but it's not too hard to figure out without them.

Have fun out there...

as you can see, the Eagle ****s over all the other HF and VHF in turn speed

Dude, where's my Super Star Destroyer?

I still don't know where you're getting this from, OracleX. ini file? Also, do you know what units they're in?

gotta protect my sources, if M$ and DA find out there's a leak in their organisation... I fear my own life and the life of my agent


actually got it from a faq place where all the states are posted

oh and it's "degrees per second"

That's interesting...now I see why I like flying the Eagle so much better than the other VHF's

I'm sick of seeing all your signatures and not having one of my own

So it seems Liberty ships have overall manueverability capability but weak armour and techs.. interesting...

I hate Wasp Missiles[!

Whoa, I may have to go buy a Drake just to see what it's like...that thing should turn freaking fast...

Mule sounds quite good for a starter in a freighter if its nearly as manueverable as a drake

The list is missing the Rheinland Valkyrie...

Dude, where's my Super Star Destroyer?

I'm flying a Drake now, and it IS quite maneuverable, but I'm having a hard time deciding what weapon loadout is best for it.

The best (IMO) class 6 weapon is the GMG Sunblast A. 750 m/s projectile speed, 8.33 refire rate, 79 hull dmg/shot. PLus it's a photon blaster, which means it's most effective against those darn positron shields everybody in the more "dangerous" systems are sporting. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a good class 5 gun to go along with the Sunblast.

I've been looking around, and the best bet is probably the Liberty Rogue "Usiel", or the Gaians "Gaia's Savior". Those aren't really that great of guns though. The Sunblast is near the top of its class in damage/sec, but the Usiel and Gaia's Savior are more middle of the pack.

What do you guys think about the best way to outfit a Drake? (2 class 5 and 2 class 6 weapons)
