Thread: Which ship to use for tier 4? High Mass Syck, DL, or Rhik?
I used a Kimo as soon as I could get it, which I kept until I got the Ixiyen - which was a really sweet and very agile ship and served me well until Tier 4. Once I got the right components in it, my Rhyx was unstoppable. I was able to solo my way through all missions except the final Master mission because of these ships.
Speed is nice, maneuverability is nice... but these things alone won't protect you. And a ship with one gun is going to take three times longer to get the job done than a ship with three. The Rhyx has the mass to allow you to mount excellent firepower and protection and still have plenty left over for an agile engine and a fast booster.
Even after making Master, I've still kept my Rhyx. The Krayt sounds good at first glance, but 220 tons isn't enough to mount equipment that's much better than the 193 tons I've got in the Rhyx.
