Opinions on heavy ships

Ok, my repute is horrible with the Outcasts ... While I've read that you can rebuild your repute with them by killing a scheißelast of Xenos, I need a heavier ship to tango with them.

I'm aiming for the Saber, but untill I can get the reputation up I'm not going to get one. I also don't want to spend the $$$ on an Eagle only to have to spend another 1/2 mil on the Saber.

So what I'm planning to do, is buy a heavy ship and kill me some Xenos and go from there. But, what is the best heavy ship?? I've listed some of the models below and would like your opinions.

*Falcon
*Dragon
*Barracuda

For single player purposes, I suppose the simplest bet would be the one with the most nanobot slots.

But that's for heavy "potion"-using monkeys like myself.

I always used to run dry of the 15 nanobots slots on one of those early ships.
For comparison, the 71 nanobot slots on the Titan were always more than enough.

I would recommend the Barracuda, its what I am using now in sp missions. I had the Bretonian heavy fighter, can't remember the name, and it sucked. Barracuda is better in the numbers and alot more manuverable. I really want an Eagle though.

Buckle up and hold on to your mud.

@fds I tend to use a lot of potions myself on some cargo runs. Usually waiting in queue for a damn jump gate to open up. Although my freighter has some mean turrets that make the pirates wish they picked a different fight.

@Tecole - TY for the help Brodie. My last save game is at the planet in Cortez, so I think I'll make me a purchase of it.
