seph just check one of the many other thread on this in this forum and the spoiler forum....

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.

The best ship in Freelancer is the one you feel the most comfortable with. Unlike Final Fantasy where Sephiroth is by far the best...


Careful what you wish... You might just get it.

i like the eagle

but then again some poeple play like hell in a drake

The starflier, you just can't beat those edge world spa & cruise starfliers with their adv starbeams...

If I had the time (which I don't) I would buy every ship, find a reference point in space, like a planet, and use a stopwatch to count how long it took to make 5 complete rotations. Then I could figure out the maneuverability of each ship in degrees per second, which is a stat they should have included in the game. Just going by weapons and armor ratings is a poor way to judge the effectiveness of a ship... for instance, take the equally armed and beter armored Titan against an Eagle one-on-one, and you will likely die unless you are a far superior pilot. From the in-game descriptions, however, the Titan seems superior. If someone HAD the time to test these all out and post the list of turn rates, they could likely reduce these repeated "best ship" postings... and win the people's ovation and fame forever...

And if you really insist on getting a class 10, which you will inevetably get bored of at some point, choose the Eagle, because the Sabre is a flying brick and the Titan's a Cinderblock.

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
