best ships

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!

On the Banshee and Patriot debate...arent' you overlooking Shield & Weapon power levels? You are paying 100K creds for the ability to mount better shields and more powerful weapons, not the differences mentioned above. The patriot maxes at LVL 3 while the Banshee at LVL 7 (a BIG difference in defense (shields) and damage (weapons). Also while 3000 armor does not seem like much on a Sabre, it's a +300% increase at those low levels...very significant.

On the other hand, the Titan has a better power supply; the power reserves in the Sabre and Titan seem to be equivalent to their armor ratings, and recharge at 10%/second, so I can keep firing longer in a Titan with the same weapons (yes, even turning off the turret on the Sabre).

but the sabre looks better... ^^

Also, why do people think that the Sabre is more maneuverable? Turning around 4.5 times takes 27 seconds with both the Sabre and the Titan.

Did you guys forget about the Eagle too? I have it and I have been perfectly fine with it. The only time I've died is when I went to Omicron Beta and I wasn't friends with any of the pirates and came face to face with 12 sabres. Needless to say i just sat there and let them blow me up.

I have a prometheus cannon, Gaurdian cannon, two nomad cannons (which use 0 energy and i <3 them) and 2 wyrm type 2 for my class 9 slots. I think they're the best level 9 weapons available. Got em' from some sabres I believe that I blew up in Omicron Alpha or Tau 37. I have a fury 2 turret which is level 8 as well, its not too shabby but i hardly use it unless flying in formation. I also have a level 10 shield, which my buddy who's allied with the corsairs bought for me, then I bought off of him. When i go back to New York, I can kill ships in 2 shots. I can take on about 6 and not lose a square off the shield bar. I haven't had a problem with its maneuvarability either, it works fine for me.

I agree the Eagle is the best.I have one 2 at the moment and its better than the titan and sabre...All hail Eagle!!!

I might get smacked for this, but i like the eagle better than both.
