for all of you that own either titan,eagle or saber, tell me what you think is best...
well, ill restate what i said on another thread:
they way i see it is that all the VHF are equal, the eagle may have better turning than the titan, but the titan has more armor. the sabre may have that fancy front shooting turret, but i find it very easy to hit (too many wings and stuff). so with the right pilot and weapons, a sabre could take out a titan or eagle. a titan can take out a sabre or eagle. and an eagle can take out a titan or sabre.
i think of it as sort of an RPG type selection, the eagle is the agile archer (weakest armor, but very cunning). the titan is the strong barbarian (brute strength, yet big and clumsy). and the sabre is the magician (added attack, but can make a easy target when in trouble).

SABRE ALL THE WAY! I loaded mine with level 9 shields, 5 Skyblast Bs and 2 Guardians. Ripper mines, Hornet Cruise Disrupters, oh yea, I'm unstoppable. The sabre has relatively good handling and acceleration, it's definitely superior to the Eagle and as far as the Titan, I feel sorry for the poor guy who dropped 700 grand on that flying pig.
For me, it has to be the Eagle all the way. I've fought guys in Sabres and Titans and they turn really slow. Once you get on their tail its all over because you can out turn them. The difference in the Hull doesn't make a noticeable difference at all. If you think about it, the 2700 point hull advantage that the titan has over the Eagle doesn't mean anything. If you're sheilds go down, you're in big trouble. 2700 points isn't going to save anybody because guns can do that in 1 second easy. If you like to duel people, go with the Eagle. The only thing that is "bad" about the eagle is that yes, its hull is weaker than the other 2. So this means you can't go flying around in radiation as long as the others can.
In my experience the Eagle is the best. That excellent turning can help you out in tight spots. Ive tried flying the sabre but I didn't like it as much as I did the Eagle but its still a good ship because of its looks. Now about the Titan, I can't say anything because I've never used that "flying cow" as some people say. I have yet to try the Titan, although I doubt I ever will unless I'm completely bored, but until then I say Eagle all the way.
