What''s the deal with "VHF killers"?

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!

i used on it only 4 pyros type 2 (class 5) outcast particle blasters, it's maybe better to use this setup;
- Borroco (class 5 corsair shield buster)
- catapult missile launcher (class 5 non-stalker)
- Pyros type 3 (class 6 outcast particle blaster)
- Pyros type 3 (class 6 outcast particle blaster)


Ahh, I tried out that configuration on a Drake. It worked decently, and I did some ~$200k missions with it. But then I had one mission where I had to kill about 20 Hammerhead ships by myself (not all at once). At the end there were 8 of them simultaneously, and I was out of Catapult missiles (it took 4+ missiles to kill an enemy after his shield was down). I ran out of shield batteries and nanobots too, and my ship was on fire so I decided to retreat (abandoning the mission).

I've realized that when I do these missions in a VHF, I can mostly just shoot them without worrying about return fire so much, while a Drake is more fragile. Since the VHFs have much more firepower, a VHF should work better, at least in my case.

For those mathemiticians out there, you'd know that a VHF killer needs speed as well as maneuverability. You could be the most maneuverable thing in the world, but without speed it's no better than a Titan.

Hehe, no best ship. If anything says anything about a best ship I'll thwack them immediately .
