Why must everyone neglect the almighty Defender? :frown:
------------------ You would have to be ignorant, derranged, demented, or dead to turn down the oppurtunity to fly an Azdara.

Because unlike the EVO fast fighter, the Azdara, it's worthless. That's why everyone always compares it to the Krait.

That's not entirely true...The defender can prove to be an excellent fighter, if properly used. It is much better than a Krait because it has speed, which the Krait lacks.

But of course, that's countered by the fact that EV primaries are more accurate and more damaging than Blaze fire. Of course, you wouldn't run the Krait against anything in the Crescent with Phase weapons. That is the single best recipe for suicide in EVO I can imagine.

What, too scared???
I, being an Azdara pilot at heart, laugh in the face of danger and will make any attack, no matter how foolhardy it may seem. Doing this also helps piloting skills a lot.
I actually find the Defender a joy to fly, but not as a fighting vessel. One missile rips your shields away, but usually the speed of the Defender will help you avoid fatal hits. The shield recharge rate ain't bad, either...

Correct. I didn't even realize that until somewhat brought it up earlier today...

Bleh, unlike bin Laden and company, I don't see dying while attacking people as an instant ticket to paradise, so why bother?

Not that anything can kill a properly upgraded Azdara, so what would you worry about anyway? The only skill required in flying an Azdara is figuring out how to get the damn thing to stop. The turning is great, speed is OK with Swivel Phase guns, but man that acceleration is excessive. Afterburner not required, the accel kinda makes it built in without the fuel consumption.
Rapier is the one for me. Carries the heavier weapons, good shields and armor, it's kept me alive in many a firefight.

Hmm... My vote goes to the alien fighter
Seriously, I'd go for the rapier. It is pretty much the only one with enough versatility to cope with the game... like doing cargo jobs when the merc trade is lean. With a few speed etc. upgrades it can be far less clumsy, and if you sell off the bulkier outfits you can fit lots of stuff... Missiles, javelins, neutron cannon, space bombs (yay).

The only ship the size of a fighter that I would dare own would be the clipper! But since it is being exluded... I withold my vote! I have taken out ten kestrals with out landing with my clipper! I have beaten the game various times with it! It is the only small ship I would ever own.

Go over to the B&B; board and sign up for ElG7's Insane Klown Posse. This post will be plenty to get you in. Just refer them here if they ask. By considering the Clipper the best small ship, you clearly qualify. After joining the IKP, go fly a Scoutship. It's better.
Heavy weapons = Happiness
I vote for the Rapier
------------------ My life has been ruined by plug-ins! yeah fighting blue hens...
I...need...the...Rapier...
------------------ "Thank you, thank you. Now you're all under arrest!"
The Lightning all the way! It can kill anything and with all upgrades, is the best ship in the galaxy! What with all this rapire junk? It is a good ship, but doesn't have that much more armor. i don't like paying an extra 200,000 credits for a torpedo launcer and a few more hits of armor!

At last, the Rapier has caught the Lightning! Rapier fans, rejoice, and continue to vote!

We Lightning fans are just more patriotic. We're proud of our less-shielding, better-handling fighters. Who needs to fly a Rapier when you've got the Lightning?
