Is the Banshee any good?

Is the Banshee Rheinland Light Fighter any good?
Is it better than the Drake?

-Maybe it's the Sidewinder Fang... or the Cardamine, but d*** you look fine-

Who cares? It's the pilot that matters.

I thought the Falcon I bought in New Berlin handled quite well! (Finally traded it in on an Eagle.)

I love the banshee!!! but not because of its massive firepower or superb handling, but because its a bomb. It has the agility of a heavy fighter, but it isnt one. And it looks like a garbage bin. the kusari LF is probly the best because it is just SO quick and agile. In fact wen fighting the nomads in mine i almost didnt get hit once! If u want a banshee for combat, dont get one, get the kusari LF instead(i forgot its name), but on the other hand if u want a laugh get the banshee. or maybe the humpback, theyre just so BAD i love em.

i use banshees a fair bit they are very agile but not as much so as the drake
i like them though they give a lot of bang for bucks

Let me break it down for you.


Liberty ships :
Pros - Cheap, decent fire power, good handling, good for starters
Cons - firepower isnt that great, shields and armor sucks.

Rheinland ships:
Pros- Firepower owns, good armor, and shields.
cons - expensive for intermediate players, turns almost like crap, weapons fire looks ugly.

Kusari ships:
Pros - Decent price, good shield, and agility and so on. Looks cool.
con - Weapons are ok but not great, armor doesnt agree with them, they cant design the damn drone good. (oh come on a box with wings? i coulda made that)

Bretonian ships
Pros - Humpback.
Cons - Look like crap, feel like crap, shoot like crap, is crap.

Cosair ships
Pros - Kickass armor,great weapons systems, shields are awesome
Cons - too big, turn bad, only use anti-shielding guns.

Outcast ships
Pros - look good, decent armor and shields, ok weapons, kinda agile
Cons - They like to drain power, not good enough nano or battery space.

Civilian ships
Pros - Look good, feel good, fly good.
Cons - honestly who needs to light fighters?

Bounty hunter ships
Pros - .........look cool?
Cons - I could go on, but now you know why they suck/

Well, for one, the Humpback isn't a bretonian ship...it's a Rheinland one.

Also, how can Liberty firepower be "decent" and bad at the same time?

I'd also like to disagree with the part about the bounty hunter ships, they are extremely good for their respective levels(Especially the Hammerhead, which can compete with the more powerful class 10 vessels).

The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

Banshee is lots of fun - not as exhilerating as the Drake, but it's a hoot.
