Does anyone like the Barracuda???

Hi does anyone know if the Barracuda ship you get on Planet Kyasha is any good I mean if you read my hello... message you'll know where I am and I was wondering if it's the best ship at the moment or is there a better one if there is please tell me o.k.

it's not bad Monkey, but there are better ships in Kusari, and when you get to the Border Worlds, the Sabre and the Eagle will poop all over it (like I was telling you)

but it will do for now.

..all men have secrets and i have mine..

barracuda, yea, like taw says, eagles will poop all over it. but in the campaign, i think baracudas are the one to go with all the way, unless you get tempted by the dirt cheap anubis which will get pooped on by nearly anything.

if your budget range is around a baracuda, which i honestly can't remember the price of.. i think you're better off getting a more maneurable fighter, like a stiletto (i'm not sure how expensive that is..) but you'll need to go nearly rogue, or a banshee. the rheinlanders make quality ships. so do the civilian factions.

a hawk will do nicely too. a falcon if you can afford it.

Erm the barracuda is supposed to be good but when in singleplayer try to avoid stronger enemys if i were u get one and then head for liberty LOL !

Get the good bounty hunter ship at freihstadt base in omega something its next to stutgart though.
I have found no happy bugs for the barracuda like it being faster when thrustering like the wolfhound has a ramming potential LOL !

Baracuda has a great powerplant. But I'm not sure if you can get to it before teh end of teh campaign.

why not? i did, then scrapped it. Not good enough.

It's an OK ship, can survive in kasuri, but will be torn to shreds in the borderworlds. I used it but once in the SP campaign.

I like the barracuda, great ship and should be more than suitable for the SP story. Prefer its bigger brother though for MP games.
