Virage? Stinger/Wasapu? Do people use these?

[TYHPilot]

So I am trying to figure out a new character and determining which ship he is going to fly. Going through the list of available VHFs I see the Virage and Stinger. Two ships both pretty readily available to people of all factions and backgrounds pretty much. I loaded up Ioncross and test them out in SP a bit. Seems pretty fun ships, maybe in need of a new skin and texture job but other than that nicely done. But then I thought, wait...I have never seen anyone in disco use one of these ships. Seriously

I get sort of tired of seeing all the Eagles, Rocs that people use. I really get bored of looking at the Eagle the most. Its so...plain. I guess cause it's civilian it is supposed to be plain, but it doesn't even look dangerous really. More like a drab sand colored trainer than anything else.

Is the problem with the Virage and stinger the same problem with the Renzu ships? Not great performing, and not great looking?

Why doesn't anyone use these?
