Yeah… The poll says it all. Me? I’m biased towards the empire interceptors, the federation fighters and the jericho frigates. I’m switching contracts to a jericho one any day now, so I can grab the Tormentor.
The only thing i can say for sure: I prefer Empire Engineer Frigates.
The Rest is impossible to say, it depends on tier and role I want to fullfill in a battle, just look at Inties:
I really dont like the stiletto at T2, it seems to be the worst of them. If I fear that the battle will we a brawlout i tend to use the Dwarf 2, which is awesome for that purpose, If I need to take out the enemy captain, I grab my swift MK3, which will succed in that task.
In Tier 3, Kite and Kris AE are my beloved Inties, while in T4 I cant stand the Eagle, its just to weak in my experience.
I’m currently T2, here is my list:
Interceptor: Swift-Mk3 (federation rank 6) - The best cov. ops on T2, awesome for dueling with frigates and killing captains
Figher: Machete type S (Jericho rank 6) - I’ve been playing command fighers from the start, I like their tankiness as well as racking up the assists with the buffs. They also deal enough damage simply because they outlast their opponents. Gunships are on my to-do list.
Frig: Crus type Q (jericho T2 premium) - I often have a blast with this, the pulsar + minefield combo just seems OP sometimes xD
in t2…
