If I could fly only two ships, they would be . . .

My long-serving Keelback Infant Heracles and the Adder Viduka that I’ve recently been charmed by; armed merchantman and fighter escort. If FDev would let me hire two active NPC crew to fly one ship and the SLF that’d be all the wing I’d ever need to stay in Solo forever, so it’s probably for the best that I can’t. But such adventures I’d have with my artificial friends!
 
Heh,

It's probably harder to pick two ships to fly than to pick a single one.

Wih one ship, the Krait 2 would be a no-brainer for me (the other acceptable answer would, of course, be "Python").

With two ships, though, you start to think about having a ship that specialises in something or other.
Would it be a ship to go exploring in? A ship for combat? A ship for trading?

I really, really like my Corvette and if I had one as a "second ship" I could use it as a "battle cruiser" and I could convert it into a mining ship and cargo hauler.
I dunno though.

Alas, once again I'd probably go with the enirely predictable choice of Krait 2 and Anaconda.
Between them, the K2 can dock anywhere and it's a terrific all-rounder while the Annie is decent enough at combat, hauls a decent amount of stuff and, once you put it on a diet, there's no better ship for flinging yourself around the galaxy.

Incidentally, I guess that give DeLacey the trifecta of ships I'd use in preference to all others.

Small: Cobra 3 - fast, tough, decent slots and it's a Cobra.
Medium: Krait 2 - As above but above average jump range and decent hardpoints.
Large: Anaconda - Not fast but tough, decent slots, decent hardpoints and exceptional jump range.

Funny thing is, in reality the S/M/L ships I fly most often are actually the iCourier, Phantom and Corvette. :unsure:
That's cos they're especially good for the things I choose to do with them, though.
If I was forced to pick one ship in each class, it'd be the DeLacey ships instead.
 
Corvette for the combat
Anaconda for everything else

You could say Cutter for everything else but I would rather have the Jump-Conda ranges when traveling long distances
 
DBE - that ship ticks almost all. just not speed.
so second: most probably cmkIII - as i don't like the couriers cockpit much, and the eagle is a bit too restricted on internals.
 
Just one

All my ships of course. That's why I bought them. Though I guess I never use the FAS or the FGS, so all my ships except those two?
