What Is Your Worst Single Enemy Ship?

[Trinity Star]

A high ranked Federal Gunship is probaby the most dangerous thing you meet in a res now.

Clippers seemed to have had an armor upgrade in 2.0, takes much longer to kill them.

Conda's are pretty easy to kill thanks to the Corvettes ability to quickly kill their powerplants.

Cutter in a CZ takes forever to kill and usually an Imperial Eagle with Beams come to help out plus a Viper IV firing PAs

Although from watching the NPC ships I notice they have some quirks that don't seem to follow with the same ship for a player aka they seem to have built in cheats or the exact opposite in the worst AI I've ever seen.

Yeah, NPC’s are known to cheat. Also I think I read that they’ve learned how to use FA Off, lately, which would explain why some of them are able to manoeuvre better than you’d expect.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Cutter yet.

Seen (& killed) a few in the Exioce CZs, their shields are similar to an Conda's , but their PP go down really quickly, it's just that hulls take a age, so even if you are still targeting the PP you can spend a fair time just shooting at a stationary ship.

Personally, I'd have to say the Federal ships, followed by the Clipper. The Fed ships, despite looking about as aerodynamic as bricks, can keep up with me through turns, and the Clipper is a nuisance with turrets. Actually, I think any ship becomes a problem with turrets simply because they track you constantly even when facing the opposite direction.

Come to the High CZ in Exioce and fight for Mobius you will see plenty

Bring your Vette!

That would explain it. I didn’t enter a CZ in quite a while, now. Not enough credits, there. We prefer juicy pirates.

Maybe one of these days.

I'm surprised by some of the answers. For example, Dropships and Gunships are flying pigs to me and the FAS is the problem. And then Clippers and Anacondas are also a lot more maneuverable than they are supposed to be. I suppose it comes down to which NPCs are currently cheating in your instance.

It mostly seem to change about with what you are flying.

Here is my two cents on the ships I have flown recently.
Vulture kills anything, but pull aggro from multiples and its a wet tissue.

Python, can handle weaker wings but gunships and assault ships can be a pain.

FDL, can also kill anything but other fdl's and the federals, at least at higher levels can be rather dangerous, its so fast though it can pretty much lay any ship in the dust apart from vipers, and assault ships.

The Corvette, well its actually worth its cost...
In Res sites its almost like cheating, the federals might as well be firing water cannons (most enemy fire just get shrugged off my shields, and I'm using bi-weave's) conda's, clippers (yes they have gotten an upgrade imo too) even federal ships just melt away..

In cz's its more of a fight, seems all the ships there are running with upgraded armor and thus take a lot more dps to put down, add vipers with insane amounts of chaff....

Imperial Clippers in the hand of an NPC in my experiences thus far are like I am swinging a bat in a china shop. I scan them from above, yes bad spot because of the turrets but they usually never fire at me. After the scan I attack from above, they instantly start to barrel role, BUT they don't know how to spiral so they just fly in a straight line spinning away. I keep firing, the shields come down like paper. The moment that happens they stop dead in the air and point their nose at me. I hold my breath thinking here it comes....and! Nothing, they boost past me and maybe fire. I turn and follow and keep pounding them. Then their PP goes pop and they sit there staring at me while I blow them up. The AI for that ship in the encounters I have had is pathetic. Asps drive straight up and spin after they have driven straight at me 2 or 3 times. The only ships that seem to put up a decent fight are Federal Assault ships and of course a Python and Anaconda and only when I am dumb enough to let them get head on to me.
