Stick with the Hammerhead. Loaded up just right it is just as powerful as a class 10, while being more maneuverable.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

i say try them all... if u check the other forums (ie the spoiler forum) u'll see that there r MANY MANY threads about titan/eagle/sabre/hammerhead superiority and all sides have valid points. This is the conclusion that i have come up w/ for the balance of power between the four (using the info provided by the various posts):

Eagle is the most agile of the class 10 ships and can dodge alot of fire for a VHF but not has survivable (as the titan) and cannot focus as much firepower foward (as the sabre) and many say its good for PvP. Enough said about its PvP ability.

Titan is survivable but without the other perks of a sabre or eagle. But the titan isn't good for PvP because of its agility or lack thereof and when going against players equally well armed the extra armor doesn't play as big of a role

Sabre is has more agility than a titan (and not as much armor either) but not as agile as an eagle but can focus more fire foward because of the position of the turret. In PvP its nice to have the extra bang of the turret but a decent pilot in a eagle (or hammerhead) can probably dodge most of the incoming fire

Hammerhead is slightly (or possibly more) agile than the eagle but has slightly less potential in terms of firepower. and it has less armor than all 3 class 10 ships. In PvP the hammerhead probably has some shortcomings to an eagle (correct me if i am wrong) because its agility isn't enough to gain a significant advantage over an eagle while the eagle gets a slight armor bonus which would give it the ability to survive an extra hit by the hammerhead while the eagle maintains the advantage in firepower IF its user has class 10 weaps. but against the other class ten ships it should do well if piloted well

So in the end its ones preference and fighting style.

Courage isn't the ability to fly head on into the jaws of death with an arrogant smile. Its the ability to run away from a couple of Xenos and face the laughter.
