Griffin constrictor and Asp Explorer all similarly good ships i would say objecitvely.
Because they unite good acceleration, good armor (one more one less) and good hyperspace range(one more one less again).
The cobra mk3 fits into that row of ships too. But its is the one with worst acceleration, but on the other hand it has the largest cargo space of all of these ships! So you can buy many shield units and at the same time be a good taxidriver (in anisotropics mod really lucrative!).So its useful if you wanna be versatile..
What im not so sure about yet is the question, if the mk3 is so large that it is easily and often hit! And if it just seems so to me or if the mk3 really evades enemy laser fire worse than other ships with better acceleration... but i think its really that way. thats an advantage of the faster ships..
Once I have enough money (^^) I could forego the mk3...
In normal FFE. As good weapons (quickly destructing weapons) are important in anisos mod and they take much space(or is it the same with original FFE), i think i have to stick with my mk3.
Well i remember playing elite2 and i believe FFE too always buying a 20 MW laser as basic equipment and shields(and so on) and always went great with it flying an aspor constrictor. Or was it the tiger trader ???
But Asp Constictor and Griffin have alltogether less space than a mk3 and i find a 10MW laser is important in anisos mod! But it takes much much space, 100 tons, and you can accomodate it best in the mk3, it has 180(or more?) Tons of space or so? And the others i believe around 130 or so...
Well, i had to tell, i was just starting to play that game over again ^^
and just now i was at the stage wondering which of the ships fits me best!
So if i told somethin everybody knew anyway, well. I shpuld say sorry . but.
Dont we all know everything anyway?^^
PS:
if thats true, i feel either you or that friend of yours is some kind of idol.. Im not so nerdy actually, but the imagination that i knew soneone personally who worked on frontier would freak me out..
considering how enthusiastic i was for frontier as a youngster...
And briefly to that panther Clipper. I agree to the general, though i must add that it can be indeed used as a warship. I remember me equipping it with dozens of shield units and a hull autorepair system and then trying to shoot the enemies. But they mainly crashed into the ship and didnt really threaten it ! It is a safe way of rising in rankings. If its fun is the other question...
PPS: Sorry, i mistook griffin carrier for harris fighter

PS:
One of my friends while i was at uni in cambridge had a job designing the ships for frontier.
Aggy Finn.
I was so jealous of his job....
