Hey Cmdrs,
I am looking for assistance in finding new roles for ships. I have created over 125 ships for all the Power Players and Superpowers. Each ship with a specific role. I need more reasons to build more ships! Maybe you know of some other roles and specific load outs that you have created. You can check out my builds by clicking on my banner below.
The ship roles I have so far and the ships I have used in these roles are:
* Ship(s) I think is best in that role
Note: all my ships have docking comps.
Combat - Must have Military grade armor, largest shield possible and guns. Collector limpets optional.
(Eagles, Vipers, Vulture, Chieftain, Python*, Assault, Asps, Diamondbacks, Fer de Lance)
Combat w/Fighter - Just like combat but with a fighter bay
(Keelback, Anaconda, Corvette*, Gunship, Cutter, Type 10)
Bounty Hunter - Just like combat but with FSD indictor and Kill Warrant Scanner
(Eagles, Vipers, Vulture, Chieftain, Python*, Fer de Lance)
Freighter - Smallest shield possible and all cargo racks
(Hauler, Adder, Courier, Cutter*, Clipper, Asp Exp., Type 6, Type 7, Type 9*, Cobra, Python*, Anaconda, Dropship, Corvette)
