It might just be nostalgia or some sort of Stockholm syndrome but I still really like flying the connie.
Definitely Stockholm Syndrome. With regular, powerful doses of buff to the Connie lineup.
2x size 2 --> 1 size 3 shield
2x size 4 + 2 size 5 --> 4x size 5 pilot guns
many iterations on handling improvements
P-72 buffed for both racing and combat
manned turrets NOW BUFFED from 2x size 2 --> 2x size 3 guns
The Phoenix party boat is now a better combat ship than the Redeemer, or will be once the latest announced changes are brought in.
The Zeus's are the first ships in many, many patches that are interesting to me. The flight deck view is amazing, and as I primarily want 'explorer' gameplay, the ES hits all the boxes ++ for my daily driver.
