I'm right near your level. So far I haven't found a need for a better ship yet, but I recommend jumping around in Heavy Fighters. Since you are in Kusari at that point, I would try for their heavy fighter...

The Kusari Heavy Fighter, known as The Dragon. Is one of the best ships in the game. It is fast, cheap (?) and can hold alot of big guns. (Of course, go for the Falcon (and Eagle) when u get the chance)

The Valkyria flies like a butter(cup) ad stings like a flee..
Well I dont like the Valkyrie, I had it for 2 or 3 missions and I felt that it had nothing to offer me. It wasnt agily, nor was it able to have a load of big guns on it. It felt like the Titan in a way, big, motionless junk pile. I would gladly pay $50000 more for a Flacon that that heap of crap.

(I dont intend to flame or blaim anyone with this post, just wanted to make sure u guys get it that I dont like the Valkyrie and nor can I understnad hy u go for it. )

I have to ask one thing about the VHF..

I like the Eagle cuz of its agilety, Sabe is good cuz of its heavier armour and the Tower, THe titan is no good just a big tank. What about the Hammerhead? I havent ever tried it but I was checking the info on it, and it says that it got a lighter armour then the Eagle and lower Power Ratings.. the other VHF got 8/10, the Hammerhead got 7/9. Why is that? What does it have as the other dont?

Thx in advance of smart answers

my favourate ship is the drake but the problem is that you don't survive very long with level 6 weapons maximum so i use the eagle alot . its manuverability can win many battles

10'000 Lemmings can't be wrong

Well like most people (one suspects) I got rid of the ship Juni gave me ASAP!. So from that point onwards it was:

Patriot - A great looking hsip that was fun to pilot.

Defender - I have to say I really liked the style of the Liberty ships, and this one was no mistake. However, I did not find it very nice to fly (I wasn't used to Heavy Fughter handling at the point)

Cavalier - The Bretonia ships are a bit odd looking, but this was a most fun ship to have. Reasonably tough at the time, and twitchy, responsive handling (okay, so I'm making likt this is Top Gear or something :-)

Hawk - Reminded me a bit of a Klingon Bird of Prey. Othet than that, an unremarkable ship.

Anubis - A most excellent ship (again, loved the style). Kept this one through the end of the SP game, and didn't replace it until I got to L28.

Lastly, Centurion, Sabre, Titan (in that order).

I like my Titan! It may have the annoying 'feature' of a rear-facing turret, but it looks good, and it's is *bristling* the best darn guns in the game ;-)

Starflier (unevitably)
Patriot (bad choice...)
Defender (pretty solid, looks nice too)
Crusader (the ugliest ship availible, but works quite well)
Dragon (also quite nice, ugly with those sail-things though)
Anubis (the one and only...)
Stiletto (looks nice when shooting the down, not as nice when flying one)
Centurion (very good thing, worth its price too!)
Eagle (a Hotted-up Centurion, nice to just fly around in)
Titan (The One...)

Think I'm gonna try the Sabre next... Looks nice, though if it turns out to look too much like the Stiletto I'll dump it and get my nifty Titan back. Yes, I love it. Perhaps I'll even try the dagger. Seems like most people here like it, and I like the design of it. Hmmm...
