Manta is NOT the Eagle.. Thats like comparing a speed boat to a wave runner. Sure, both are maneuverable and fast, but the wave runner is considerably more agile.. Like the Eagle more agile than the Manta. Not to mention Manta being easier to hit.

Forgot the Blood Dragon on there. THAT is what the Manta compares to in agility. Fairly good power plant too.
Also, if you don't try shooting yoru shield busters and hull hitters on that Ravenclaw all at the same time the entire fight, you won't have any energy problems (unless you have 4 codenames on that thing). And you forgot to mention it being the most liked ship of the Phantoms and ex-Phantoms (this includes me, but that Eagle and BD beats it slightly).

That is why they are called opinions, not facts.

IMO, the eagle is easier to hit than the manta due to its spread. The manta is thinner, so when strafing you leave a smaller target to hit.

I haven't flown a BD so I wouldn't know.

I also haven't flown a Wrath, Talon or Viper. Wrath is next on my list.

Raven claw's powerplant isn't the thing that bothers me. I can deal with it. It's the turning. For some reason I think it feels very weird and wobbly, especially when coming out of a turn.
