best very heavy fighter

[Jinx]

i don t think one can point a finger at some ships and say "its the best". - not even by the stats its possible. it depends to some extend on the pilot ( pilots fly better in ships they like - regardless of the stats ) - and of course it depends on what you fly against.
then there is the aspect of not "really" matching hitboxes aswell as mismatching equipment.

- the eagle is *among* the best VHFs. one point about it is that its a "generic" ship and can - if used that way - be equipped with a huge variety of weapons and equipment. its agile, but rather on the larger side of ships.
- the sabre for example is great at strafing and has an extra weapon ( turret ). but if you re not a strafing type of pilot, you won t make too much use of that feature.
- the blood dragon ( its marked as a HF, but is in fact a VHF ) is a great ship, - however, it must be equipped with rather weak blood dragon weapons - that puts this fine little ship into balance with others.
- the Manta is a very well balanced ship that offers a very small profile from the front, but won t *really* shine anywhere - but it has allmost no weakness.

you see, its hard to say whats best. - the ships of the VHF class ( especially, since they are the most popular ) are balanced. - some ships are not ( like the kushan VHF - cause it has a hitbox issue ) - so the best ship really is the ship you like the most, the ship you get used to.

you ll see that a lot of people won t really like the "my ship is better than yours" - cause ships are rather down to what your "character" would want to fly. - so while the player KNOWs that a blood dragon fighter is better than a BHG hammerhead, a BHG pilot would still WANT to fly a hammerhead. ( a contradiction that troubles some players - but not their characters:))
