ow wow and there is little young me with just a vulture, cobra and sidewinder haha don't i feel like a noob now

[BrotherTobious]

The Cobra is the best ship in  the game imho  love my one!

[RogueTaylor]

That's why I am keeping mine but for now I wanted to try a. New ship and a vulture seemed a good choice, I can't wait for the mark iv to come out tho a better cobra sounds amazing

[Sneakytiger]

u get the the cobra mk 4 with horizons.

[RogueTaylor]

i know you do thats why i cant wait for it i reorderd it yesterday aswell as a bobblehead lol

[RogueTaylor]

whats do you recommend using on a vulture weapons wise ? am useing pulse lasers at mo

[Sneakytiger]

Beam and pulse I'd say

[RogueTaylor]

What one each or both of the same ? Two beam or two pulse or one beam one pulse

[Lanceor]

Two pulse lasers is probably the most effective combo, and probably least interesting.

A good combo that I tried was a gimballed beam and a gimballed cannon - the beam did a very good job of stripping shields, and the cannon was quite damaging to hulls and modules. Cannons are slow weapon though, and you have to line up your shots which effectively lowers your dps. It's worth a try if you want a more interesting loadout than two pulses.

[RogueTaylor]

At the moment I use both the pulse lasers and I have them in a gimballed mount, I had used fixed but I prefer accuracy to damage. It ain't the most fun but gets the job done haha, I have used beams one and locked them only problem is they make the ship hot quickly.

Also what ship do you lot think I should aim for next ?

It's very much a personal preference. No one ship is the best at everything, otherwise everyone would be using it (or saving up for it).

It sounds like you're mainly a combat pilot. I've heard good things about the Federal Assault Ship and that it handles very much like a Vulture but I haven't tried one though. I'm currently flying a Fer de Lance - it's a difficult beast to handle but I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Or if you're thinking of diversifying, perhaps an Imperial Clipper. Straight out of the box, you can use it as a cargo ship that can outrun pirates. Later, you can outfit it for combat. From what I hear, it's a great PvP ship.
