My favorite ship in EV is the Rapier, with extra shield, armor uppgrades and a good pilot it can take out almost anything.

Well, then I must be the best pilot arround. My advice to you, PLAY THE DAMM GAME BEFORE YOU POST ON THE BOARD!!!!! The Rapier ROCKS! F**K YOU!

Whew, I was really ticked off up there.

Best ship? Hands down, it's the defender. Fast. Reliable. You can't get much better than that. I did the rebel/alien mission with a defender. (Never do that when you're doing strict play. That's what I did, and now I'm doing a trade route between Sol and new Britan) 😉

You can take down anything in a rapier, well anything besides a alien fighter or some person (e.g matt burch's kestrel). It is the greatest ship for speed, good strength (for a fighter) and holds a decent amount of guns. Unlike the defender, but i can't use that because my emulators too jump, and it is too hard to control.

My favorite ship would be the Scoutship. 🆒 Its my fav because it's kinda fast, it can have 4 guns, use 2 mass expansions and you have room for shields, armor and guns. 🙂

P.S. I've taken out many Confederate Cruisers with a Scoutship. (4 proton cannons that's it) 😄 😄

Your waiting in line,
a very long line,
That's when you pull out
your Magnum 357 and blast
your way to the front

The best ship for your buck is by far the Scoutship...if you don't beleive me, look at its stats and then the price, you can upgrade a Scout really well and it costs next to nothing....

If you wanna talk about the worst buy oyu can make then your definatly talking about a kestrel.....

The ship overall must be the Rebel Destroyer. When maxed out it can take on any ship in the game. I've taken out the alien fighter with a rebel destroyer with out cheat plug-ins

I've taken out a Alien Crusier and 3 alien fighters in the same battle with a Kestrel, AND SO HAS EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS WEBBOARD.

I perfer the Detroyer if I need space and speed
If I want Brute Force, and plenty of weapondry I go with the Confed Cruiser fully upgraded.

I like the kestrel, with hawks and lightnings.

Why hawks AND lightnings? Besides, that doesn't leave much space for toher weapons.

what missiles? also, people seem to forget that he meant non-government ships...kestrel is the best, period. it has high speed, can outrun torps, 3 turrets it plenty. with full armour and sheild upgrades its hard ship to beat. then you just gotta decide whether to put missiles or torps on it.

Like people say, it is expensive, but if you worked for the rebels, and did the alien mission, buy a rebel cruiser, go out and make some planets pay tribute to you then take over 5 good escorts, then (this part takes a LONG time) take over a confed cruiser. If you have all that money from the planets that are paying you, it wont be a problem to get the RCS and other upgrades. It is stronger, and has TONS of room, its amazing. Then of course you will have to work for the confeds, so go and buy a "fake ID".

when where and how do you get the mission to buy confed ships? i have an ultimate combat rating, in cappella my status is pillar of society and i have a kestrel with little or no cargo space.

dont hurt the confed but board the dead
