How can i make the most powerful ship?
If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

why fying a cow, when there's also very agile fighters
take a drake... or even a starflier... uhm... that thing in't buyable anymore.... damned.... take a patriot or a defender...
uhm... take a defender and try to do div 43 missions, like i did and come back later when u didn't die in that ship... like i did (i only lost a wing and a slingslotlauncher on that wing).
there r enough ships to fly with, i like now the low level ships... and even with a dagger u can do very divicult missions, in all house systems, in all independent systems and in all border systems u can do all missions, in the edge systems it would be sivicult to operate, co'z it can't mount a torp launcher like the defender, but it's still a good ship, hard to hit, agile enough to outturn missiles and get away from mines... there is an other fighting technics needable then with heavier fighters, the same technic i use now with the defender...
mostly u fight against a lot off ships and shoot almost all the time at 1 fighter... by the dagger u need to swith targets, if u stay to long at some1s six ur dead anyway... i swapped target every 4 or 5 seconds... then u stay with more fighters a longer time (that's the drawback) but they can't know ur path what u follow and can't kill u easier when u dodge some1... against 3 or 4 fighters u can stay a little longer attacking some1... if u use also missiles (like i do) then fire a missile, turn away and then turn back to the target, so u can't shoot ur own missile/torp down, first u find out that the missile will miss more often, but when u do this a lot ur hit percentage goes up agian, and if u fly again in a cow (the other (v)hf) then u don't need to turn a lot away, but a little so u miss ur missile/torp a little... with the more armored and heavier u can still fly toward it and almost 100% hit... but i like the lighter ships better, so i fly in a defender anyway
...
their's a lot needable to get the most powerful ship...
- perfect pilot skills (i can say i have some... i did div 43 mission in a defender)
- weaps u like the best, and have the best hit percentage for u... (missiles for me)
- a ship what u can fly like hell
(for me now the defender)
- weaps what can fit the ship
- weaps what fit by the agility of the ship (high firerate for cows, slow firerate with the agility fighters (most recomendable r the xenos particle or the outcast particle) and medium when u dn't know)
- shield what fit ur ship and shield what is the best against the enemy where u fight against (for me against bounty hunters is no best shield, particle weaps r good against graviton and weak against molecular, and laser weaps r good against positrona and weak against graviton, so i use graviton)
- weaps what r the best against the shield of ur enemy (graviton/molecular/positron)
it's hard to do missions with a fighter and with weaps u don't like, so prepair urself for that, by using also other weaps then u usualy use (use also some times plasma weaps (slow firerate, slow speed, medium range, high damage for his class)).
if u don't like missiles, don't set them on ur ship, but test them with an other char... first stalkers and later javalin type... u will improve ur skills a lot with missiles and use later torps whisely against groups and even against lonely ships and turn away and don't see, but know when it hits target... i use them no also in group fightings and shoot a torp at a unshielded enemy and turn to the next enemy (for me mostly hunters, but also in flying around also others (cops/navy/hunters))...
if u ask what i do mostly.. i would say: i'm a HunterKiller, i kill hunters for fun and for money.
If u c some1 in a defender make fireballs from hunters it can be me

I used to go for the fantastic four (hammehead, eagle, sabre, titan) because I just wanted to try the biggest badass ships.
But now I'm quite comfortable in a Falcon as well.
