Retribution. I won't even leave the dock, not once in the whole year. I'll just spend my time wandering around that mammoth, exploring every inch.

I'm very practical when it comes to ships. My choice with the ships in game and anounced so far would be the Drake Cutlass. Why is easy. With a co-pilot you have the option of more firepower, but it has enough with single pilot to stand on it's own pretty well. It carries enough cargo to make a modest living running contraband or even whatever. It has enough speed to make it an unattractive target at afterburner. And, it's got pretty good armor, but is small enough doesn't suffer maneuverability issues like some other ships. And. You know those two big fins on the front? The sticker on those says it's a tractor mechanism, so for when tractor mechanisms are a thing... you got that too. Maybe. I think they're meant to be grippers from the look of the mechanism, who knows.

This IS actually my choice as well, but the Hammerhead just sounded cooler. And what is a man if he doesn't sound cool to his internet people!

Hammerhead is cool. I was thinking if I was stuck with 1 ship for a year, and I had to have 4 other folks with me to defend myself that would be a pita. But you could have said "MPUV", and people would still think @Blind Owl is cool, just cuz.

Gladius. While strictly a combat vessel it is the one I bought first, and have the most experience flying and I enjoy it very much.

It's not a widely loved ship but I feel that if you take the time to learn it, you can hold your own very well in combat. Hell I almost offed a SH, granted the reason I failed was we collided, He was missing several parts and was red all over so I'd chalk that up to a win personally.

Dear God, I've never been one of the cool kids. What do I do with this glamour? This Fame?!?

Oh no, have I become a diva?

What just happened?

You had me at Dakka.

I'd want the Cutlass Red for a year, then I can do what I like and still make small cargo runs if needed.
