Vulture - Federal dropship

[thepridster]

Hi Guys,

 

So I've had my vulture for a couple of days now and what a ship! I've been killing 2-3 anacondas in a instance at a time, but I'm wondering if anyone has flown / used federal dropship as I'm close approaching that as my next ship any advice?

 

also if anyone wants to wing let me know

[thepridster]

No problem thanks for the advice. The main issue with the vulture is compromising power you have to choose between shields thrusters or weapons. You can't have them all amazing ^^! However from building a dropship you can get a fairly hefty build for it without compromising. My mates currently running a fer de lance that's a very nice ship and we together have defeated 6 anacondas in on strong signal source . I am tempting by a python!

My fully pimped python was a monster

 

That's what she said...

Ah right saving time if I keep getting missions like the attached below I should be golden! My mate rushed to a type 9 and makes a very large amount with that but fights using his fer de lance sorry for unclear picture but that's 600 odd k mission to kill what turned out to be two eagles lel

I'm some way off of the big ships. Currently rockiung about in my little Cobra having a fun old time.

 

What do you all suggest for my next ship? I'm thinking the ASP would only be a stopgap before i went on to something larger. is it worth it or should I save for a much nicer ship?

[thepridster]

Depends what you like doing trading get a type 6 then 7 the 9 combat highly recommend a vulture exploring an asp or adder

[thepridster]

I'm thinking my next ship is either a drop ship or clipper hmmph

[ICTDirect_Dave]

Yeah, Had an Adder, The Cobra is better in all ways. I like the general purpose ships. My cobra still has it's cargo hold so can do light trading, but it packs a helluva punch in combat and has mid level disco scanner plus detailed ground scanner. Whatever I get next is going to cost several mil tho, I guess it'll just be best to save uip and buy something much bigger than I've currently got. Definitely not a mjor trader though so the lakon heavies are out.

[thepridster]

Hmm if you want to stay multi purpose them your gonna be looking at the same ships as me the imp clipper and the fed dropship

[thepridster]

Added you galway

Ignore the Drop-Ship (too slow, cumbersome) if you're looking for a comparable combat ship as agile but better armed and tanked, little more cargo space and distance then grab the Federal Assault Ship instead that's coming out this week; had chance to try it in Beta, I'm already a loving Vulture flyer and I'm definitely moving onto the FAS after trying it.

[thepridster]

Ive had a federal assualt ship for a while now and good god its good

FAS is a great all rounder.
