I love buying Eagles when Im bored and flying them around unengineered, because theyre great fun
Although it does mean I have a ton of them scattered about the place

Eagles and Sideys are awesome, especially in CZ. Due to the risk assessment of NPCs they are far more viable than people flying the big ships often believe, and guardian shields make them even better. 
they can give you 200-300 mj of extra base shield flat. for an eagle, which is meant to not get fired at, that's a lot.

Actually I'm flying a Imperial Eagle on PS4, I always loved the small ships!
Btw, they could release new small and fast ships too, maybe extra Racing Ships, or even Racing SRV's after Atmos Release!
We have so many planets already, let us Edit Race Tracks on them, just give us the tools Frontier, like Ubisoft did with the map Editor since Far Cry 2, for example!

I've barely touched my Imperial Eagle Engineering-wise, yet I still love to jump in it from time to time for some HighRes entertainment with the Wing.
If Engineering was ever changed so that the size of the Module being modified impacted the material requirements - i.e. Engineering an Eagle was cheap - then I'd be far more inclined to play with smaller ships.
Scoob.

Hull tank, no shields ieagle is the best. Throw a PA and a couple double shot frags on there and you can really have a good time.
I've never really been impressed with the performance of small frags, so I run a legacy focused PA and a couple of rails. Shieldless as well.

I am terrible in CQC, mostly because (I tell myself so at least) I cant get a match going. If you know of a reliable way to have some CQC fun, I'm ears!
They are like HRP, but for shields. While shield boosters give a percentage bonus, Guardian Shields give a flat bonus. They aren't that amazing for big ships tanking shields, but they can multiply a small ships shields many times over. Also works great on larger ships with poor base shields. You'll need one trip to a guardian base for it, absolutely worth it if you are into such ships. For example, an Eagle with bi-weaves and guardian shields has around the same MJ in shielding as a FDL with 5B-rated shield.
If you can stomach the path to Palin (screw Marco Qwent, may he burn in the trails of a neutron star) a G5 dirty drived I-eagle is a natural high like no other. Your combat speed--IN THE BLUE, MIND YOU--will have you outrunning Anacondas. Your top normal speed will have you outrunning any combat build you can name. Then they fire a packhound at you and you hit the boost and OUTRUN ALL THEIR MISSILES. I'm talking straight-line drag racing too, no dodging tricks. Their missiles simply cannot catch you.
Mine earned its name when a 'goid hyperdicted me. I hit boost the instant I was in normal space just before the pulse hit. Drifted so far away the damn thing never even got in scan range before I jumped out. I call it the Gingerbread Man, because NOBODY's catching it.
The problem is that once you've flown one, it'll ruin every other ship for you. The freedom of movement is beyond compare.
