This time I had a hawk..... It was a good ship until ive got the anubis.....

Imo,the best ship at that level would have to be the Dragon.Since not only can it carry Torpedoes but also it is a much slimmer target than the Barracuda also unlike the Hawk it has 6 gun/missile mounts.

anubis.......

Barracuda; turns the fastest (same as hawk) and has more cargo than dragon. Has more guns than hawk and also more hull. Personally, i see no point using anything but the barracuda at level 13. Then if you want to just try...

I assume this is your first time through the SP game and you need somthing that will supply you with Firepower, Manuverability, and the best shields you can get.

Personally I like the Wolfhound same load out as the Dragon but changes one mount for a turret. Handy when somone really is on your six at a gate or jump hole. I think it flys well and is very manuverable. I had a Bloodhound LF all the way through the missions until we went to the New Tokyo system and found it to be more than enough.

I have played the SP twice and am on the third time through. As the 2nd time I played all the way in a Freighter (Drom).

Now I am trying to make it all the way with a LIGHT fighter the one of choice is a Hawk as the Shield Bat/Nano load out is hard to ignore. If you show up with a knife at a gunfight you had best be able to use it to an unbelieveable level! Only 4 weapon mounts do hinder your ability to spray and pray but if you choose your load out wisely you can do some real damage with that thing.

First time through get the heaviest fighter that has good manuverabilty you can afford. Don't always go for the heaviest ship however as they sometimes fly that way as well. Check out other posts of this forum for some sage advise on this matter.

Just some thoughts from the edge of space!

I would have liked to have the Crusader, but I sold it to do the race against Hovis, it was just easier with the Cav.....
