I've started to play again Vega Strike, doing the "Serenity -> Atlantis" trading route, last time I got about 350000 credits doing this, but now I'm just bored and only have 210000 (I don't want to try the money hack *yet*). I saved and then I bought a Pacifier, but it seems so slow to turn and weapons drains all the power really fast , I don't like at all :S. So what's the best cheap ship to go bounty hunting, and how much does it cost? do I need much more money?. Do you recommend a MiliSpec or just going upgrading a stock ship, if upgrading what weapons do you recommend?.
Another question, Rlaan ships looks cool but are they good?
Sorry for my bad english , and for asking too many things xD .

As i mentioned in the OT forum welcome Zapp Brannigan i like the Derivative my self fast good agility 4 medium gun mounts and 4 missile racks start with the stock version ml spec has locked in stuff that can not be changed but if the cash is strapped the Llama beefed up is not bad it gets the job done that power drain goes away with a bigger reactor and the Multi-maneuver compensators work not to bad on the Pacifier find some auto-trackers for all your mounts(they are very expensive but worth it) weapon load out is very personal in my experience what i like because it is easy for me might be your idea of hell everyone has there style of combat (what works for you) always check the damage and range specs of a weapon before you buy it getting a big MFG that burps soap bubbles can happen heh
they can turn out to be crap in use so you sell them back at a loss Post if you have any problems.Have fun
Enjoy the Choice

thanks everyone, I bought a stock Derivative, and mounted some disruptors and heatseekers missiles. It's fast and pretty tough if you improve the hull.
Sadly, two days ago I tryied to install Ututo-XS and it erased my /home completely (even when I told the installer not to do so), so I'll have to start all over again

Finally after starting all over again and making some more money, and trying several ships I choose a MiliSpec Derivative, after doing some upgrades it's packed like this
ECM lvl3 Experimental
MiliSpec Isometal Armor
Reinforced Hull
Sublimative hull coating
Repair Droid
Enhanced 2 shield emitter
and the guns:
2 disruptor
2 neutron
4x2 heatseeker
finally I'm able to kick some Aeran butts , it only cost me about 450000
again thanks for the advice!

A bit more advice...
- If you go into Rlaan territory, you should be able to find a "micro-shielding" hull upgrade - 5 tons, 20000+ MJ. It does drain your power a bit but that's no problem for a milspec Derivative.
(I'm not sure what Rlaan armor is like, but it also might be worth checking out, if you don't have a good rep with the Aera.)
- Likewise, ktek beams are great, and are common items in Rlaan territory. Keep in mind that using them with bolt weapons will require autotracking on one or the other set of weapons.
