Maybe it's wrong, but according to the coriolis links I provided, when setting max fuel and no cargo the courier is showing superior degrees per second on all axis at both boosting and not boosting at all pip settings.
If I could only fly one ship, it would be the . . .

Those are just rotational rates.
It's the translational thrusters that have a greater impact on agility though.
Courier is fine with these when going slower. But as soon as boost comes into it, it starts to suffer.
Too short and too weak to move well enough for long enough compared to the viper.
I think you're mistaking how fast a ship can move its nose (in all directions) with how well a ship can move itself (in all directions).
I can see your point with the translational thrusters, but overall maneuverability must be a combination of both. Being "drifty" can be a boon or bane depending on the playstyle.

I agree a combination is important, but my point was merely that the Viper's a more maneuverable ship than the Courier at high speed.
Courier's more versatile though for sure, which is why it's such a well-loved ship. Looks good too

Eagle MK II.
Quite fast (700-780 combat ready), extremely maneuverable, great jump range when needed, adequate firepower
If only there were small plasma acellerators (and small seismic charges
If only it could fit a class 3 distributor...heaven
In my heart Cobra Mk III...in my head a Krait Mk II
If I could fly only one ship, but everybody else could still fly anything? Python. Good general purpose, not too expensive buyback. All round good ship.
If I could fly only 1, I wouldn't have played ED. Ship variety was a reason why I ruled out X (whatsitsnameagain) before it released.
Conda
If the corvette had like 5 more LY Jump range, then the vette, but until then, conda babe.
Sure, only in open. I do not do PvP but for CM4 I will do a special exceptionCobra Mk IV, because I like playing ED in salt mode.
I was a python lover for so long, used it for everything and had multiple versions set up, then wanted to experience some of the others and switched over to the kraits, initially hated them but gave em a chance, phantom was a great little run-around and I ended up using it for my imp ranking but started to struggle a bit in combat
MKII is a very good combat multipurpose ship, it relegated my python to a robigo mines runner.
