Newcomer / Intro New Ship & Handling

[Oliversutton]

I remember we talked about new ships in this thread (i believe) and I said that I loved my DBX until U got the mandalay and its handling is fantastic by comparison an so I do most of my game time in this ship now.
But I was curious about the Corsair and the Cobra 5 and when their characteristics coud by so I looked on Youtube regarding these two ships.
I waitied for a screen showing the Pitch / Yaw / Roll

My mandalay is 46.89 | 136.75 | 39.88 with a little engineering

The corsair was 26:78 | 82.40 | 10.30 and although upgraded above stock to A grades was unengineered
The Corbra was impressive with 59.95 | 159.86 | 43.96

So the Cobra is definitely on my "to buy" list and maybe the corsair can improve substantially with engineering so yes I will get one of those too!

What's you favorite ships guys?

Cobra mk5 is even more agile than Mandalay. Thrusters are a bit on a weaker side, but it is compensated by the small size more than enough to be very nimble.

From the current preview - it looks like Corsair handling is on par with old generation of ships, but very very far away from Mandalay and Cobra mk5. It is slower in pitch and yaw then Clipper, has weak froward/backward thrust, short boost duration, but very very good vertical and lateral thrusters. It seems that it's main feature is being very tanky multirole with good weapons, and an offset for that is not as good handling.

If how ship flies is more important to you than looks and other aspects - Mandalay and Cobra are superior options, imo

My favourite depends a lot on what I am doing and my mood.

The Cobra V and Python II are probably my favourite new ships currently the Corsair might make the list after it is released but it might have to wait for the credits release as I am out of Arx.
