Popular ships and factions - opinions. - henryk5pio - 09-18-2023

Hello Guys!

Reading the wiki (I know it's mostly outdated), I see reviews of ships from game version number 4.85/86. Can anyone tell which NPC factions currently have ships with a good reputation? I'm thinking mainly of gunboat and above. I ask this because the game has evolved quite a lot since the old days when I played it, and I'd like to know (maybe new?) opinions about what are the more popular ships.

When I flew Discovery a long time ago, there was a faction [RHA] (I even belonged to it, as well as "Core", but BHG was a misfire on my part) - according to the lore Red Hessia is the third largest criminal faction in Sirius, but nobody flies in it nowadays. Or at least I haven't met anyone in Rheinland who interacts as a pirate/terrorist/revolutionary from Red Hessia. Surprisingly, more people supposedly chose Bundschuh than Red Hesse (although I don't see the former either when flying with goods on the Rheinland-Bretonnia-Kusari-Rheinland route). What is the reason for this? What is the reason that so many people play Outcast, Corsairs and even Golden Chrysanthemums, but not Molly, Red Hessia or Coalition? Don't any players want to answer the cries of disadvantaged miners and their families anymore, or to bring equality, freedom and socialism to all people in Sirius?

Feedback/information is very much welcome.

the reputation of all ships is bound to change with 5.0. whatever you heard, it's not up to date and means nothing at all. a "super responsive and agile ship" might turn into a brick overnight. I suggest you ask this same question in 2 or 3 months.

Ok, it's a good point of view.

It's been a while since the update, could anyone comment on which gunboats and cruisers are the best and why? I'm considering Gaian/Corsair/Order/Sirius Coalition, Liberty Navy and Gallic/Maquis gunbots. As for cruisers, I'm curious about the one belonging to Gaians, Corsairs, Order and Coalition.
