<3 my Duney.

I do. I have a 24k mass 108.4 speed engine with 75's PYR in that puppy. She likes to move.

I still use one, depends on the mission as to what ship I take.

I have my YT1300, I acctualy have yet to use it truthfully lol

My Firespray I tend to use most often, becuase its a good all around ship with heavy armor sheilds and firepower

Dunelizard I take if a fast ship is needed, if the mission im helping someone with spawns nothing but fighters, or sometimes on the vett depending on what role needs more people in.

I am 4434 atm, but I feel no need to ever upgrade to something else and that won't change at ace I guess (I *might* try the new ace ship when it's out but I guess it will go the same way all other freelancer ships went after I tried them, redeed, give away).

I guess I just don't see why everyone thinks the Dune is better than the Ix...

I have both, still have my Dune deeded. It can't fit near as much as my Ix can, and does not handle any better with the same eninge/booster combo and droid commands. Maybe it's bugged? Why would you consider something with lower mass and the same handling to be superior??

From the Shipwright Forum:

(Tier 1) Dunelizard: 15k Resources ~85k mass [SP: 2 Guns] 1 missile[Spdx 0.95 Acc 30 Dec 30 Pitch 300 Yaw 300 Roll 150]

(Tier 3) Ixiyen: 65k Resources ~95k mass [SP: 2 Guns] 1 missile[Spdx 0.95 Acc 25 Dec 30 Pitch 200 Yaw 200 Roll 100]

The Ixiyen has worse acceleration, and worse YPR than the Dunelizard, and its not worth giving up that for an extra 10k mass, IMO.

After having to complete Storm Squadron tier 4 with a 64k mass TIE Advanced, I dont think Ill be ditching my Dunelizard anytime soon, its a really nice little ship, with the right engine you can put out flight performance almost on a par with a TIE Advanced, and you get an extra 20k mass to play with.

I want to own one of the new Krayts, but I forsee me using the Dunelizard all the way from here(currently 1211) all the way to Master.
