What makes a LF worth getting. As soon as I can I always grab the fighter with the most armor and hardpoints. I know LF are more manuverable but can that really compansate for the much lower armor and weaker weapopn loadout?
Yes, they can.
A point. I can kill several TIE defenders in the WTS mod 2.4 with the starting ship, a Mavrick. It's about equal to a patriot. If the VHFs hit me even once (and I'll admit it, I don't always survive), I'm radioactive toast. yet, I still manage to beat the crap out of them.
I'd only suggest a Lf if you're a good pilot, an ace. Me, while good, prefer a HF, the valkarie actually, since in my opinion it's the best looking ship in the game, but if there was a good looking VHF, I'd be on it pretty quick.
Actually, the only diffrence in handling I can see in the game is between normal fighters and Fighter/freighters. Those handle noticably worse than fighters.....

Let's not forget LF's are good if your poor. Anyway, in other games LF's are usally vastly faster and more manueverable then HF and VHF. In freelancer since everything moves at the same speed (whoever thought of that, I'd like to know) LF's seem to be an afterthought. They are more manueverable, but without speed they seem to be pretty worthless.

A LF will always beat a HF imo, but VHFs cream everything really. I still like LFs if I'm in large multiplayer fights, because I can distract my enemies, so they wind up firing at me, which I dodge easily, leaving my pals free to blow them up.
LFs are way cool to fly, too. The only decent HF I know of is the Falcon. So for me it's VHF or LF.

I fly already for real long the dagger around..
also i killed hf and vhf with it... and i'm not scared off taking on titans, sabres or eagles... their are only a few ships in the game with are real worth to fly, a few lf, maybe 2 hf and only 2 vhf...
agility is a powerfull thing on the battlefield, also hit profile off the your ship and the enemy ship... a bloodhound has a small head-on profile, but it's profile is real big from side-on attacks...
