The Freelancer in the PU was the best dogfighter of all time for a couple days. Most likely will change soon.
The Sabre does appear to have the same problem the Vanguard did when it launched.
Much too sluggish than it should be.

My thoughts exactly. The blessing and curse of CIG has been its open development. Some people seem to not understand the tech these guys have been building in such little time with an even shorter team around to build it. The Germany office was just completed last year and now has a large staff, many that seem to be core engineering and original Crytek devs. In that short time they gave us the badass procedural generation tech for planets and thats just one accomplishment of just one of their studios. SC has only been in development for about 3-4 years and at the start it was a team of 10 maybe? Now they're well over 200 worldwide and still hiring.
I give Star Citizen about another 2 years to become what will be a new benchmark of space games, probably video games in general. I've been following this game for a while and when they shifted focus to a FPU I didnt expect to have a playable PU type build until this summer.. I'm already impressed with the progress made but also know games of this caliber that break this much new ground take time to get right. I'll be patiently waiting.
Hit me up on the PTU, player ID Naraka.

IF they fix it and it's the super stealthy ship they promised then I'm CCUing my Ghost. I'm mainly going to use it so I can do solo missions and be left alone. Maybe some scouting with groups or running protection.
I'm sure it'll be fine. It's only in PTU. And we're far from release. Not to mention they're just starting to implement the component system.

Got to fly around in the PTU for a bit the other night, gonna try again tonight, now that my driver/Win10 issue is fixed....
Biggest problem with the Sabre at the moment is power management imo. If you shields take a hit and have to recharge it eats so much power that your engines cant handle any movement and you just float in a direction after a few seconds. This sucks when someone is shooting you :)
I'm so bad at power management. I need to get that app. Doubt it'll do much good in fights with the speed of kills, but power to engines while flying might be good.
2.2.0b out
Important Issues:
The Klaus & Werner ATT4 energy rifle is not currently being awarded to players that kill a Level 5 Criminal.
Using the Holotable in the Revel & York hangar will cause the game client to become unresponsive.
EVA’ing back into a ship with interior physics is having issues such as permanent ragdoll and death.
We highly recommend using a ship with a cockpit if you have one available, or using the test Sabre.
