Aye, the Legionare definitely has the agility. I also read somewhere it can thrust over 200 in spurts, but maybe that was a bug. But you'd be struggling with only 4 guns and no torp.
(In the vanilla, I did the Bretonia campaigns in a Clydesdale. All that h-fuel lying around....)
In the end I stuck with the Barracuda. I found Anubis only a bit better strength-wise, yet in terms of agility Barracuda runs rings around it. Anubis is a big fat target against those Nomads.
With Disco there are a couple more low-level ships to try out in the campaign, although they may be impossible to obtain (rep-wise), I haven't really tried myself.
@Commodore: Heh I've not heard of that nerf point! Thx.
Sorry off topic..... where were we again?
EDIT: Forgot to mention.... about the voices, yeah many of us agree that different accents would be narley. And it is possible by inserting in your own sound bites. But it would be a sh*t-load of work getting them all.... http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2137
