I went ahead and did some melting and purchasing and stuff in the background this week. Here's what I have now:
Constellation Phoenix: She's my main squeeze. I love the concept of the constellation, and I love shiny things. And hot tubs.
M50: Racing is fun, and this ship is FUN to fly. I don't care if I have fun all the way into walls most of the time.
Gladius: Melted Hornet out in favor of a gladius. I realized that I am developing a style very similar to the top dogfighters, where brute force isn't going to cut it. I need manuverability, or I will be eaten. With bacon. I do NOT want to be served next to bacon. I love bacon. I also believe that the gladius will be king-boss of the arena when it comes out, striking a balance between manuverability, speed, and strength that is more adapt to my flying style.
Aurora LN 325A: I upgraded my aurora into a 325A so I could try it out in the arena, and get a better idea on what the gladius is going to be like. After a brief period of acclamation to the different ways the 300 series moves from the M50 I was used to, I started to realize why it and it's big brother the 350R own the arena right now.
Herald: This is my first ship with LTI, I kind of just bought it for the LTI and opportunity to change it into something else later. If I 'had' to fly it, I'd really just troll with it, hack people's communications and blast k-pop through their speakers to disorient and enrage them.
