Holy shit. I need input.
So I'll ask you rocket surgeons.

I have a Bucky. I love my Bucky. I WANT my Bucky. BUT, she's a glass cannon, and I'm a tanky fighter. So, do I upgrade her? If so, to what?
SH?
Wildfire?
Sabre?

I already have a Harbinger with all BUKs, so whatever I get will compliment this.

Also, I'll cut and paste this post into the Ships are Hard thread, just for redundancy.

I like the Sabre. I don't know why. It's purdy.

That said, the rational person buried deep, deep, down says the SH is more versatile and tankier (2 seats, armor once it's implemented, more guns).

I am absolutely certain I will end up with a SH and a Sabre.

And then there's the Wildfire. It is more of a shenanigans ship. It's a regular hornet with a turret. Smaller power plant, 1 less seat, 1 less gun in exchange for more missiles. I would only buy it if I already had the other two and I was looking for shiny things to put on display for people who come over for a drink in my hangar. If you decide you might want it some day, buy a CCU and sit on it.

My 2 cents. Good luck!

I love the Sabre but I die.
Wasn't to fond of the Hornet but I live.

So I got a Hornet Wildfire over a Super coz it also has some storage. Haven't looked back since (with the current hornet).

I would also say I'm in the 1% for dogfighting......the bottom 1%.

Be careful. The Wildfire only has storage when you take out the ball turret and put in the store box.
