i don''t know, about heavy fighters i think

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!

As a player who personally made an effort to make it through the MP game as a pirate, using only pirate ships, I can tell you:

The Wolfhound sucks complete ass. It is owned by the Barricuda.

Price: They are approximately equal.
Armor: Wolfhound has a bit more
Weapon mounts: Barricuda has one more useful mount
Turn speed: Barricuda is 75 deg/s, Wolfhound is 60 deg/s
Size of ship ( target area ): Barricuda is much smaller
Cargo space: Barricuda wins, 45 vs 40.

But it looks cool.

One problem I have with Criminal Heavy Fighters: they are ALL 60 deg/s. You would think that ONE of them would be as agile as their Light Fighter cousins, when you consider that ships like the Falcon and Valkyre exist.

Centurion: 60 deg/s
Stiletto: 60 deg/s
Wolfhound: 60 deg/s

MAkes me not even want to be a criminal, but it's probably because DA thought players would get their asses kicked by more capable HFs. So all the 'enemy' craft are crappy in terms of maneuverability.

The Wolfhound and Mule have a nice "cobbled together from spare parts" pirate ship look...if only they were worth their prices for transport or combat, I'd definitely fly one or the other. "stylishly ugly", I think, is the proper term...

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless
