1" Alien freighter, 2" Cobra, 3" X fighter, 4" Police fighter 5" Pirate ship :)))))
Alien megascote and Galaxy cruiser are not for dog fight. I had all of them and I test them :)

Cuba I dont agree with you there, The aline freighter is best done for trading, it is a very heavy ship and its very sloppy. The Alien Megascout is best for fighting, it carries more missiles, counters and EM's. Maybe you are confusing the ships. Alien freighter is the one that looks like a big brown flower, the megascout is the yellow stripes and grey paint wich looks like an over grown X fighter. :D

I dont know about the Gal Cruiser though. But I have tried both Alien Freighter ( big brown flower) and alien megacout ( over grow X fighter , yellow stripes,. grey paint) and the freighter is more for trading coz it is very heavy and sloppy and it even has more cargo bay, and the magascout is for fighting, it carries more missiles, counters and EM's and it turns faster and it has less cargo bay, 50T with 25 T extension, the freighter carries 60T with 25T extension.

Alien Freighter has 4 EM`s and Alien megascout only 2. Alien freighter has longer response time but turn faster then megascote.

ok, look as Cuba said both have the same turning speed but the freighter responds much slower so when you press you up arror, it will take half second to respond while the mega only takes like a quarter of a second to respond. In battles it can get anoying coz you migh end up going round in circles trying to find a your moving target. In a battle, you and your ship must be one so that when you press the arrow it must imidiatly move, this is in what the freighter fails. Thats why I say that the mega is more for fighting coz it responds imiditatly as I said before and it hold more weapons , and I say the freighter is for trading for the reason I said before and it evens has more cargo space. :wink:

you know what i just realized? when you hold shift you turn alot faster! feel dumb for not knowing about that. hoping when the buttons on the joystick become active that the shift button will be on the joystick too. :D
