Once you reach at least level 30, take your Eagle, Sabre or Titan into clouds found in the Omicron Alpha and Gamma systems. In those clouds you will find jump holes to the "Unknown Systems". Be aware, high level Nomads patrol the area near those jumpholes...so you better go wearing a very good shield and sporting the best weapons you can get your hands on.
Killing the nomads around the jump holes will produce nomad weapon drops which you will be able to mount on the class 10 slots of your ship.
Now, if you decide to go though those jump holes:
In the unknown system connected with Omicron Alpha, you'll find nothing but brightly lit space, radiation damage and high level nomads.
In the unknown system connected with the Omicron Gamma system, you'll find
a system with two dockable planets and high level nomads.
Going around those "unknown" jump holes and going into those unknown systems is a sure fire way to test the ships you fly and determine what ship suits you best (as well as test your own skills & tenacity...short of playing against other players in MP pvp)
For my particular taste and skills, my preference has always been the Outcast Sabre outfitted with 4 nomad guns (usually two each of cannons and blasters) , Advanced Debilitator Turret, Firestalker and Cannonball missle launcher. Ripper Mine Dropper and Advanced Counter Measures. Mounting a Class 10 Positron Shield & Advanced Thruster.
I chose the Outcast Sabre because it has more armor than the Eagle and manuvers better than the Titan.
Eagle is fastest in manuvering, but has armor equal to the Hammerhead.
Titan, although has the heaviest armor, is slowest in manuvering. (A trade off)
