Trent: ...nice to know...

in my opinion, get another freighter, that thing has the worst turning in the game! when i tried it it took me abot 5 tries to get to liberty evern thought i only had 5 hostile factions on my butt. i have found that the broderworlds freighter has really good turning but the weapon levels on the thing are too low and need to be upgraded to al least 6 to 8

I have found that if you sit in Bretonia somewhere near a jump gate that is that is not near a border station, you can lie in wait for transports of expensive things and just blast 'em broad side-you know, in old timey pirate style. Use the incredibly long range Stealthblade Turrets (800) and 1 each EMP & homing launchers and you've got yourself a pirate ship. Granted it is easy but with a turn radius like a 100 car train, you've got have a little advantage.

Good Hunting

"On this ship you are to refer to me as Idiot, not you Captain. I mean... you know what I mean."

I prefer the Dromedary (Border World) Freighter. With the exception of the torpedo it carries better weaponry than the Anubis - 2 extra class 5 weapons, has the maximum cargo space and turns better than some VHF's. Somewhere along the line I picked up a shield with ~3600 (shield points?). I don't like the fact that it can only handle Class 6 weapons, but I figure I'll make about 5 mil between New Berlin and Yanagi, go get a Sabre and explore the rest of the galaxy.

When I got the Humpback, I thought it was a toaster with waffles in it. Where the titan turns like a drunken turtle, the Humpback just doesn't turn. But I always did like the broadsides you could pull, especially when using my old Ramecurse turrets (which I eventually traded for Stealthblades because they were too slow). Nothing like spamming a cargo train with green plasma.
