I'm looking to buy a Falcon and I was curious on what stats I should look at getting?

Thanks!

The only thing to look for in a YT-1300 chassis is at least 5m mass. Most are going to have that, but it's something to double-check.

Be sure you get an engine crafted for high YPR, use Engine Overload3 at a minimum,and fly about 75% speed in combat. Its a pig to maneuver at top speed, but kicking the throttle back a nudge does wonders. With EO3, my ship tops out around 1059, at 830 speed, I can juke and weave around asteroids like second skin without contact. My Yaw and Pitch are 69.9. Roll I only use to fine tune orientation for gunners, so its only at 57.7. I have no problems at all tracking Tier 5 fighters in Kessel and maintaining a near constant missile lock on them if my gunners can't handle them.


If you've got some money to throw around, get your hands on an Elite Reactor and Elite Shield, be damned sure the reactor has a Type V Overdriver and the Shield has a Type V Intensifier. Using Kettemoor resources, my reactor puts out 23563 energy and my shields are at 3481 F/3480 R.

They all suck except the mass... plan on getting the best parts available (virtually no mass limit so that helps). However, it will still handle worse than a y-8, but the turrets might make it worth it. Just my opinion. Personally, mine is going to be my new yacht or maybe use it for turret training for new guildmates.
