My favorite ship right now is an F7C with an M6A laser canon up top on a flashfire, a mantis in place of the chin turret, and a panther repeater on each wing. Nothing lives long in front of those guns(except Freelancers, Andromedas and Beerfarers, which I try to avoid anyway), and it's very satisfying to shut those AI pirates up with 2 shots just as they start talking smack.I have the F7C... again
