Anybody got an idea of a good ship I could hack myself?

I've tried a Lancelot, and a Goddard. I love the Goddard, but I'm looking for either a fighter or a capital ship that can hold its own against Aera. Oh, and, how do you hack a clydesdale? Does it have a .stock or .milspec or whatever?

My Lancelot was getting killed in seconds by Aera. I barely scratched it. And finally: what guns should I deck this ship out with?

Teslas and Kahans are pretty nice, but they need a lot of support to fight the Aera (especially the Tesla); your best bet is probably a Leonidas (Vitik in the game data). The Clydesdale is a nice ship, but it's nowhere near as good as the the Andolian capships, IMHO. Also, Rlaan capships are nice, but they only have beams for weapons.

As for fighters, the Goddard is the best one that I've tried, loaded with Shield Breakers, torps, and image recognition missiles. A Nicander (or whatever they're called) might be good, too; I've never tried one before.

Just a heads-up: yavok, not vitik is the leonidas in the code. The vitik is an entirely different ship (Agesipolis), and only has turrets.

Oh, thanks for the correction.

One note-all capships are slow. Ridiculously slow. The Yavok takes almost an hour to turn, and about that long to stop turning. It'll take hours to get out of a gravity well. Rlaan capships are *better* about this, but still not good.

With hacking, I've found the Nicander is fun for small-ship dogfighting, but can't scratch most larger ships. The Goddard is probably the best all-rounder I've found-especially if you upgrade the turrets to Aeran ones.
