I'l concede the point on the agility.

I was mostly going for the "feel", and there is an x factor in the couriers circular cockpit, the eagle is just a little to angular to feel as fluid.
It just feels good to virtually sit in it and blast out of the mailslot :)

But that's certainly true for the eagle as well, heck that's fun in a sidewinder :)

I've gone Sidewinder -> Haulter -> Cobra Mk III -> Type-6 -> Type-7 -> Python -> Type-9 -> Anaconda. Then I had a Diamondback Explorer and Diamond Back Scout on the side.

I now just have the Anaconda and Diamondback Scout - though I really did like the Python to the point I like the sound of having one again as I re-stock the fleet so to speak.

I kept the Diamondback Scout because (a) I love it, (b) it is my combat ship and (c) it leaps around the galaxy with a great jump range, which is always handy.

I went Sidey->Cobra->Type 6->Type 7->Python->Anaconda and since then, I've been flopping around and settled on the Vulture. Maneuverable and powerful. Right where it counts. It's still ugly though.

Yeah I think I should definitely get a diamondback for undermining.

LOLS!

Guess what ship I 'parked up' at Raffs Mobius, ready for the battle to establish ourselves?

(Hint - Begins with an "E" ;) )

But in the meantime, my 230 million cred Python is ready to eat some pirate bounties, at last.

BTW If you want a Python to feel as splitarse as a pylon racer, just spend 2 weeks in a T-9 beforehand :(


E2correct - E not V :(

Joystick and throttle are reversed on that one. Sort of explains your cockups trying to land in stations now.... :twisted:

I went back and brought an Eagle just for that, blatting around doing some USS hunting :D it is great fun! The Eagle is, i think, a much underrated ship. Actually along side the Sidewinder, which i re-brought and a rated with fixed guns, now that makes it entertaining when in a fight!

I love doing USS and RES with an Eagle. Sometimes it is a good fight.. other times your running for you life ^<^.

I've gotten an Anaconda with an Eagle once only because I think the game glitched and it wallowed around not firing at me.
