Best capital ship for PvE

[sasapinjic]

Corsair "Legate"-class dreadnought. Put 3 Hurricane missiles. Do missions against the BAF on Battleship Fes in Cambridge. Those give you really a lot of money in loot, and are very easy, because Bretonian NPCs are weak and don't dodge a lot. Their destroyers fly very closely packed together, so 1 volley of 3 Hurricane missiles will kill them all. You can do a 5 million mission without getting any hull damage. Don't do them in asteroids, though. A missile of yours might hit one that is close to you, detonating the other 2, and thus you'd end up damaging yourself.

I -think- you can do the same against the RM in Omicron Xi, but RM battleships are quite heavy, and if those appear, you might be screwed. BAF BSs are much lighter, and they fly closer together, so although a salvo of 3 Hurricanes doesn't kill them, it does tend to disarm them.

Similar to this , you can take Valor and do anti Bretonian or anti Libertonian missions in Leeds or Magelan.
