Mauverability

Could I have a list of most manuverable ship to least?
Thank you

Humpback is the least manuverable, the light fighters are the most.

And the battleships are a bit more maneuverable than planets.

Look here for a list of the ship turn rates Look at Frobozz's post.

A star isn't maneuverable

Actually... Stars ARE moving at tremendous speeds, orbiting the centre of our star-system

on one hand going by level and then ship class they pretty much go in that order
lower level for the class generally outmanuevers those in the class of a higher level, but then those of less armour also seem to be moreso than those with more, the hfighter defender is better in my opinion than a light fighter with more armour...........

It seems that all the light fighters have pretty much the same manoeuverability except for Patriot/Starflier/Drake which are better than the rest, and Startracker which is worse. Only the Patriot is agile enough to be near invulnerable; Starflier and Drake have to eat a bit of enemy fire because they have higher inertia and thus cannot dodge as effectively. The other light fighters are even less efficient at dodging. And the Startracker moves like molasses, it certainly didn't get the 'light fighter' label for its manoeuverability.

In short:

Patriot >> Starflier, Drake >> Piranha, Dagger and the other light fighters > Startracker

I am not quite sure where the Banshee fits in this scheme but on the other hand this does not matter much. The Banshee was created for killing things like Hammerheads, Titans, Sabres and Eagles and it certainly outmanoeuvers any ship that is not one of the light fighters mentioned previously.

Trade Lane > Titan
In terms of manuverability

well, the starflier, patriot, and drake light fighters are the 3 most manuverable ships in the game. then in 4th place is the eagle vhf, the monument to unbalanced ships.

ITS not the motion of the ocean but how you put your ores in the water, not that this helps, just felt like it had to be said.

Stand back I don't know how big it gets.

Post Mon Jun 23, 2003 12:31 pm

the most fastest and best manuverable is definateliy the eagle and should be owned by everyone!!!!

Post Mon Jun 23, 2003 5:29 pm

the eagle is the most manuerverable vhf but i think the patriot is the most manuerverable
