quick question are heavy fighters more agile than very heavy fighters (i know they all vary, but as a general rule)
also is it OORP to pirate (ie ask for money) somone with no cargo?
hf vs vhf - McNeo - 02-10-2009
1) Yes, as a general trend. However, I've only found one substitute where the change from VHF down to HF is worth it, and thats from the Manta to the Hammerhead (even though both are pretty good fighters in themselves imo)
2) No, the trader should pay for his life. Its not out of roleplay to demand cash from them in exchange for their life only. However, you'll 99% get the "Kill me its cheaper" line off them, unless they're factionalised or the pilot values RP over making money.
-These are my opinions only.

I would say yes to both. you can tax people for passage through your factions space though.

Well, I wouldn't know anything about the HF/VHF question, because I mainly use factions who don't have many HFs, however, the Greyhound is a very good HF, if you can call it that, which has substantial maneuverability advantages over the Werewolf, it's VHF companion. They're both good ships, but, if you like Maneuverability, the Greyhound is the better choice.
Onto the pirating question, you should, instead, ask yourself if you are OoRP for not asking someone without cargo for money. It's not OoRP for you to ask for money, but it might be against your RP to not ask for money. Afterall, some characters have more than just money in mind, however, the other side of the fence would want money just as well.
In short, pirate them to your heart's desire. I do it, and I hope that it gets the message across that whether or not you're doing something conspicuously or not, you're still doing something.

As for OORP To Pirate someone with No Cargo.
No, If one values their life and has any sence of RP.
They would value their life enough to pay for it.

Personally, I find it ridiculous for someone to ask me for four million when I have no cargo.
hf vs vhf - Orin - 02-11-2009
4 million is pretty ridiculous even with cargo.
I'll usually only ask 100k to 500k if they don't have cargo. Sometimes I'll even let them by.

From experience flying the Stiletto, yes, HF are in general faster than VHF. I haven't done any real testing but I'd say they turn around nearly twice as fast in a joust. Gives you a lot of advantages, now if only they'd rebalance the unused HFs (Stiletto, Falcon & Centurion) As is stands now, their firepower is too weak to even really dent a VHF without explosives.
hf vs vhf - greasemunky - 02-11-2009
HFs do have a higher turning rate, but it's not high enough to compensate for the lack of firepower.
hf vs vhf - retnuh - 02-11-2009
so what about mk2 light fighters are they a match for vhfs? they can equip class 9 weps just not codes etc
