What Ship Do You Currently Own?

What ship do you currently own?

I have the Eagle Very Heavy Fighter.

Anybody else?

eagle here too.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

I've flown all the ships except these...and I don't remember the order I purchased the ships....

Mule
Dagger
Wolfhound
Dromedary
Hammerhead

Currently in SP, I left my character with the Anubis.

in MP....I have a Titan...I enjoy the Tank Effect it has.

I went from the Eagle to the Titan. I know the Titan isn't as maneuverable...and the stupid thing has the turret facing the wrong way...But you know what? I don't noctice it. Ships die quickly anyway with 2 Salamanca MK IIs and 4 Nomad Energy Blasters. Rogues...Usually die in 2 shots. (That's why I haven't tried some of the ships that you buy at Rogue Bases...I hate the rogues...They are stupid)

Starflier
Defender
Hawk
Legionaire
Dromedary
Banshee
Dagger

I don't think I want any other ships, the dagger is good enough for me.

Lets see now. For MP I ethier go like this:

StarTracker
Rhino
Dromedary

Or Like this:

StarTracker
Rhino
Drone
Hawk
Eagle

With the first method I have just about everyone neutral with me and just do trade runs ethier for myself or for other people with them providing an "escort" for me.

Starflier
Patriot
Defender
Crusader
Barracuda
Anubis
Falcon
Hammerhead
Eagle


I actually spent big bucks bribing the pirate groups so I could by a Titan and a Sabre, and came up with the following comparisons.

Eagle has lightest armor, good maneuverability, can only fire its turret forward at extreme angles.

Sabre has better armor, best offense (turret points forward), but is a bit sluggish in turns.

Titan has worst offense, since its turret faces backwards, best armor and repair capacity. It's armored like a tank, and flies about as well as one too. TURN! TURN!

So, in SP, I have an Eagle w/4 Nomad cannons (they do a little more damage than the blasters - 1%) cannonball and firestalker launcher, level 10 shield, adv. thruster, etc. etc., and I eventually got bored and started MP.

Check that...4 Nomad Energy Blasters and 2 Tizona del Cid cannons... the ULTIMATE Ship Killer! I replace the Tizona del Cids with Salamanca Mk IIs if I'm hunting Nomads since they don't use shields.


In MP on Elite:

Starflier
Patriot
Defender
Crusader
Barracuda
Falcon
Hammerhead

Startracker
Cavalier
Drake
Hawk
Anubis
Valkyrie

Although in alternative saves and on the demo i gave the rhino, patriot, defender, humpback and banshee test rides
I have to say, for its level the Drake was my fave, it was so smooth it was incredible

Legionnaire. It's fun to fly and gives the player traders a fighting chance. It's not every day you see a level 38 in a class 5 light fighter.
