Draw your own conclusions,

my three ships i use right now are.

DuneLizard(for everything), Krayt(when i feel like killing everything in 10s or if i want to take a friend up), and YT(For fun and the room)


but i used the Dunelizard up untill i got my kimo flew that a bit till i could fly a Rihxyrk( didn't like the handling at all so i suited up my Dunlizard again and mastered Pilot. then after mastery i took it down trying to find the best fighter. Went first to the IX but for some reason i did not like it as a fighter dont remeber why. So i went to the Kihrax which is a nice speed fighter and great handling but i did not like the weapon placements on it. so i dumped it and suited up my Dune again and tried it out and i am loving it. with my nice lvl 8 engine in it it flys like a dream .

I liked the Dunelizard, but wait till you fly a krayt.

Have a Firespray, but don't fly it. Over rated and not worth the millions. It has a nice weapon load, three guns and two missiles, I think. For me it's mostly a deep space no decay kill capital ship once in a while kind of thing. It's almost like a car you don't want to drive cause you might scratch it.

Love my krayt, 210K mass, very similar in layout with the Kimo. It can be nicely agile if you load it right. You get four weapon slots and one missile. One turret is for another player. Put a couple L8 guns with a L6 and you can toast with the best of them. One real nice thing is the weapon spread. One is straight out from below. One straight on top and the third(or fourth, the third is the turret actually I think it might be two...) comes off the wingtips. This makes a nice spread if you can learn about where it converges, especially if you aim to converge a little beyond the target and widen your hit zone. The L8 guns do about 3500+ max dam and the spacebomb does like 12K or you can do my favorite and load up with M3 Concussions. One shot with a missile as you zoom in takes out the sheilds and the guns finish it off.

Oh, yea, I also have a YT...I hear they're cool with a crew, but haven't been able to get a full crew up as of yet. It's mostly a slicing wagon, where better (and safer) place to slice than in a YT?

I was the first kid in my guild to load out and fly a krayt when they came out. Put my prenerf level 8 108 speed reward engine in there. Took a guildie up in it and... eh. The handling wasn't up to what I wanted. Sure, she was fast. Butthe throttle control and the drifting when you come out of a turn is something that I don't think I'll ever get used to. So I sold the thing to a guildmate and refitted my kihraxz.

the dune is great for dangerous work like missions, pvp, and taking down cap ships, but if you are just mowing down gunboats for loot nothing beats the rhik. having seen one with 3 re'd lvl10 gun take out a tier5 gunboat in under 15 sec i can defenatly understand taking a hit in survivabilty for the sheer firepower.

The Kryat does.

Wasn't there a screenshot of that Rhyk a couple months ago on these forums?

I think it was strapping three L10, 4600 damage cannons at 8/8 mods if i remember correctly. Definatly not a guy you want helping you on a disable and capture mission

Slightly off-topic, but it's because I can relate...

While flying my X-wing at Tier 4, I helped one of my guildmates do the first Vortex mission...I blew up three or four YT-1300s while trying to disable them for him to capture. They made me back off after the last one and they did it...just a bit too much firepower, I guess...
