best very heavy fighter

[sovereign]

There is no "best" in any ship class- there might be a worst, but most of them are specialized toward the way you fight.

For example, the Titan- if you joust it, you are probably dead. It can tank you, it has the armor to do so. However, it can't turn too much- making it a problem fight against elite light fighters and even Sabres.

The Sabre, having even more forward firepower due to the way the turret swings, has a smaller powerplant, a smaller hitbox, and larger maneuvering- when you fly it, take advantage of your agility and don't go against someone head on, since you will likely die first because of the lower armor. Go at them from the sides, and keep out of their frontal firing arc.

Both could be considered the "best" fighter for different reasons. Personally I like the Sabre and Eagle better, but I can fly most ships competently. Go with what feels right- startup OpenSP and try them, and go with what you like.



Welcome to Discovery, by the way. You might want to read through the server rules three or four times, and realize that this is a roleplaying server- PvP is secondary to RP, and you should fly whatever ship fits the faction you choose. Consider the LPI as a good official faction to start with, we're friendly and well-loved.
