Falcon or Valkyrie

After a few more trade runs, I plan to go to Rheinland to purchase a Heavy Fighter. I can't decide between the Falcon or the Valkyrie.

Falcon Advantages:
1. more cargo space/sb's and nb's
2. sold on major Rheinland planets

Valkyrie Advantages:
1. costs 50k less

Could u make comments on which is better? Help would be appreciated.

take the drake, selled in kusari space, best maneuvrable fighter of the game, a good pilot can do without using sb and nb a 150k mission

Falcon

+more maneuvrable
+10 more cargo space
+400 more armor

Valkyrie

+looks much cooler
+50k more to spend on equipment

id vote the valkyrie
the falcon is more maneuvrable,thats its only advantage,10 cargo space and 400 armor isnt worth the 50 000$ more

50K is easily earned by making some runs from Berlin to Tokyo and back.
So there goes that argument.
My vote is for the falcon definitively...Agility, firepower, strength and looks
I took on whole armies of Corsairs and Outcasts in my Falcon, and kicked their butt more then once, wich I didn't in a Valkyrie.

Falcon for sure. It's much better suited for his role than Valkirie. And at least it looks like a bird of prey he is named after. Valkirie is one of the rheinland's "snail-ship" family and looks pityfull (some may disagree...).

I love the Valkery, but I'd go for the Falcon. It's easier to fly.

Id vote for Valkryie because it looks so dam cool. And i don't care if people say it flys like a brick, i flys fine for me.

time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so.

can make up 50k diff faster with a larger cargo hold and less chance of damage

My wish has come true:

Are Reinland ships suppose to be powered by Tokamak fusion reactors?

Post Wed Jul 30, 2003 12:53 pm

it has to be the falcon the agility saves you money on botts and damage repair
you can evade
the extra cargo space pays for the 50 k very quickly just in extra loot

Post Wed Jul 30, 2003 2:08 pm

Falcon. Personally I think all Rheinland ships are a failure in design as all of them looks like hell. So definitely Falcon. The 50k extra is worth it. Trust me
