I was wrong, it would not be a hard choice. Cobra Mk.III

Even Cmdr. A-Team loves his CobraMk.III

But not that Cobra Mk.IV.
That thing's shit.

Needs a spoiler and the black squadron paintjob.

;)

I am torn between my AspEx, FDL and iClipper. The ASP brings me anywhere I need to be fast, the FDL is just fun to fly and fight with, but the Clipper is just posh and elegant.

So, if I'd live in the verse and would have to choose my favorite at gunpoint, I'd go the middle ground and choose class and comfort over specialisation:

The iClipper. :roll:

If I could have one and one only, it would unquestionably be the Python. It's the most versatile ship in the game. Can still kick ass in a CZ. Easily take out pirates. Great hardpoint placement. Decent haul load. Tweak it to a... respectable jump range if necessary. PLENTY of space.
The Python definitely needs two more utility slots though.

I'm in love with my DBX. I use it for everything except pure combat, although I probably could kit it out for combat stuff.

Granted, a large part of that is I only have 30mil. When I compare how long it took me to get that much with how expensive fully-equipped Pythons are, I'm probably gonna stay with the DBX. :lol:

A hard question as I am quite attached to all my ships. The Python is VERY tempting and if this were real (we were actual starship pilots) I think I would pick it for its versitility. My favorite ship is actually my Clipper so that is also very tempting. However, given that this is a game, I think I'd have to go with the Anaconda.

I would say, probably a Vette. I know it's big, can be cumbersome, doesn't do long range travelling particularly well, however when I had it on Xbox version, engineered, I loved every minute of being in it (working for my rank all over again on PC now). I guess it's like Marmite.

Sensible option would obviously be Python...

Python. I’m lucky enough to be able to pilot any ship fully upgraded, and I’ve tried them all. I love the Corvette, and it would be my strong second choice, but I keep coming back to the Python for it’s ability to do it all (outposts included). True, it can’t jump as far, move as fast, haul as much, kill as quick, etc., but it can do just about anything pretty damn well. Plus, I just love the way the thing looks!

If I could only have one ship for the rest of my game life, it’d be a Python.

I still love my Cobra Mk III (the "SS PROMETHEUS"), but if I have to live with only ONE ship,
it would of course be my Python ("SS DETERMINED DEMENTED")
