Ship Tier List

[Star Admiral]

Hello fellow CMDRs

I would like you to help me do a tier list for all the ships in ED. Here are the proposed criteria. Notice that some are weighted more than others.

Versatility 1 - 100

PvE Combat 1 - 20
PvP Combat 1 - 20
Overall Trade 1 - 30
Overall Exploration 1 - 30

Cost -1 to -300 (we deduct points)

Handling 1 - 50
Top speed 1 -50
Jump distance 1 - 50
Hardpoint placement 1 - 50
Cargo capacity 1 - 50
Shield strength 1 - 50

Custom (your own reasons to award extra points if not included in above list)

Total:

The ships will be ranked based on your feedback and placed in a tier list. There will be a regular ranking, tiered rankings for cost categories (so we don't compare a conda to a sidey directly) and a ranking where money is no option (thus we compare the stats sans the cost deduction)

I also welcome suggestions to changes in the format.

Versatility 1
PvE combat 20
PvP combat 15
Overall trade 1
Overall exploration 8 (I did do some successful exploration in one)
Cost -50 (base ship is very cheap for what you get)
Handling 45 (not much can beat it)
Top speed 35
Jump distance 15
Hardpoint placement 45 (there are only 2 but they have a wide range of fire)
Cargo capacity 5 (you can have some, but not much)
Shield strength 50 (With max shields I can ram Anacondas)

Extra 50, just for the fun of flying it.

Some of these categories seem a little subjective when they don't need to be. While PvE combat and PvP combat can remain subjective as are based on multiple factors, other categories such as Top Speed, Cargo capacity and Shield strength, should just be based on direct ship stats.

Lighten up man (see what I did there ), it's just a bit of fun.

I want to get how the community feels about the ships. Crunching numbers off the game or wiki will be done afterwards to validate the results. I'd like everyone to rate as many ships as they care to. And issue a challenge to the next poster to rate one ship which is not inlcuded in their ratings.
