Which T3 Fighter to get?

Just started the game. Was wondering which T3 Fighter i should aim for? Currently Have a Machete but it feels underwhelming or prolly just my poor aiming skills. Anyone got tips which ship should i invest into?

 

Also while we’re here, what ships should i get after getting T3 Fighter? and which ships dominate at the top tier?

Katana S is a good fighter, in Empire Prometheus X, in Federation Wolf-M.

 

Other than fighters, dominating ships on T3 are Styx, Kris AE, Kite, Anaconda-M, Crus-S… almost every rank 9 and most rank 8 are very good in T3

Thanks for the quick response, among these ship you mentioned which among these do you think are more Newb friendly? still learning the game and kinda sucking atm!

Katana s and prometheus x are easiest

Thanks! would also appreciate a quick basic loadout suggestions, like what modules and weapons i should equip :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t say Katana S is on the same level with prometheus x, Empire Command can tank way more and  if when you are caught out of position you have much better chances to survive.

If you’re still new, you should try more ships in the lower tiers to get an idea of what your strengths and weaknesses are, and to get a basic understanding each class and role.  But, frigates are a little underpowered in the lower tiers.

its still easier to fly than the wolf m

Machete is a tackler, which is pretty much one of the weakest ship classes in the higher tiers. Unless you absolutely want to play a fighter that cloaks (like me), I will suggest command fighters (e.g. Katana S). Jericho commands have more speed and rely more on shields while Empire commands are slower but tankier, and most of their tankiness comes from their hull. 

And the prometheus x needs a cpu slot in my opinion

It already have 3 Capacitor Slots.

CPU == Capacitor

Have 3 Capacitor/ 2 hull / 1 Shield /1 Engine and still want a CPU slot. M’kay.

you can remove the engine since Empire must be slow as hell :smiley:

The katana s has the cpu and is nearly the same

And thats bullshit. But bullshit happens. Jerry Commands just cant take a beating well, devs are playing Empire it seems.

But really, its so interesting that many mainline ships are inferior to the sideline counterpart (like the emp Command > jerry Command, emp Engie > fed Engie, fed Recon > emp Recon, jerry LRF > emp LRF). Interesting, and annoying.

Emp recom is better imho

Can anyone give me some advice on what kind of load out i should have for my empire command? currenly leveling my prom but will jump on prom-X when i can.

Active or passive loadout?
