There's nothing really special about the KSE. Its speed and manueverability is the same as any heavy fighter, and its a pretty large target in combat. It has two guns, but the firepattern is a little hard to get used to. If you're a freelancer, its the only single player ship you can get with two missile tubes. The KSE's main strength is its high mass, but unless you've got amazing components to fill that mass with, its not really worth it. That all being said, I fly a KSE in PvP and PvE all the time.

thanks

Tke KSE is a tricky ship to fly, but it is good if you can get used to its idiosyncracies. The weird profile means it's a huge target from the back and the front, but actually fairly hard to hit from the sides, top and bottom. Like all the heavy ships, it has some drift or oversteering when you turn... but I've noticed that if you put a bit or roll in just as you're finishing a turn it almost totally kills the drift and stops you on a dime. Turns really slow at full speed, but back the throttle off to 2/3rds and it turns like a beast. And the odd vertical gun placement really makes you want to pitch along you're target's path, rather than yawing. Very odd ship, but it can carry an awfully mean loadout, and if you put an RE'd engine with uber YPR in it, it turns into a mean dogfighter.

If you're Imperial, go for it-- there's no other ship you can fly with that much mass (except POBs of course). Plus it's got a cool psychological factor when you are helping lower Tiers with missions. ("Guess I'll go get the Firespray for this one" etc)

the KSE is only worth the moneh if your a collector. not a practial ship, i would be if it was a POB ship but its not so buy if your intrested in saying (I HAVE A KSE Firespray)

Is the KSE multiplayer? I read that a while back so i wanted to know if you can actually walk around inside it.
