I suppose my Maine one right now is an vulture because it is my main credit farming tool. Still really new at this game, only been playing a week or so.
i only had a half hour or so in my starter sidey so did not keep that, just sold it for a cobra which I still have and seems to be the most well rounded ship.
also have a type 6 for longer range stuff if I want the extra 5 ly over the cobra. And trades, but I am terrible at trading overall. My last trade run took two hours and earned way less than bounty bring would have, with twice the tedium. Last trades run I took advantage of (back from the fares run) I ended up collecting 175k in fines and ejecting the crap into space because I could not find a black market.
I keep ships too, love the cobra, the t9 and the vulture, but saving for an asp for exploration, so the t9 might end up on the chopping block..
