What ship are you flying?

Before I sold up to move away from my home system to go do a community mission I had the following all parked up, totally unnecessary I know but what the hell: fully equipped eagle for smuggling missions or couriering items weighing 4 t or less and maybe the odd pirate mission, fully equipped viper for bounty hunting or kill pirate missions, fully equipped cobra for bigger cargo missions and occasional mining, Type 7 for straight up trading which eventually got upgraded to Clipper when I hit the right Imperial rank and an exploration equipped Adder for when I fancied a wander.

Part of the beauty of the game is that the parts are interchangeable between ships so if you have a few bits and pieces on one ship that took some getting you can just strip them and re-buy them back for your other ships as needed.

At present I am down to the Clipper and an exploration equipped Hauler which I am shortly to get rid of after a recent ill-fated trip that ended with my death and the loss of several hours of exploration data, grumble.
 
Asp for long range exploring, and Cobra for farming NPCs and little bit of missions. Sold Viper a week ago, as well as Type 6.

Currently in an Asp 3.5k ly away from civilised space, decked out for exploration.

Back at home base Type 9 and A rated Python.
 
Python for trading, Asp for exploring, Eagle for fun and a Cobra because... I bought the wireframe paint scheme.
 
I'm flying a Clipper until I feel rich enough to fit a Python properly. I may buy an Asp on the side if I get into the mood for exploration.

Explore in the clipper. Yeah, the stats are worse, but the clipper has the best panoramic view in the game.
 
I'm in my Cobra and I don't really see myself switching to any other ship at the moment. Looking forward to some ruggedly handsome ships, though (such as Panther Clipper, but it is too large for me).
 
Completely A maxed Asp is my main driver, and boy is she a beauty! My play time ship is an A maxed Viper, while I have a bunch of credits set aside for the Ferdelance when it comes in 1.2
 
I am currently flying a carefully stripped down Asp for a few weeks of exploration.
I have a low-gear Python set up for trading parked up, and a fully pimped Eagle for combat also parked up.

The Eagle is for bombing around having fun when I'm not trading or exploring - I also use the Eagle to visit "events" in open, such as the Lincoln meet-up last week.
