I knew there was a reason I hated the Alliance.
Note on Empire: The Courier has some really good shields for it's size. I don't know if that carries over for top rated shields for the Clipper and Cutter.
That's like asking what underwear is the best.. lol. Totally a Subjective thing.. Myself I love the Imperial style.
For the Cutter, definitely. It's the only ship aside from the Type 9 that has a Class 8 Shield Generator. The Clipper, I'm not so sure of.
mmm, haven't the corvette more speed and agility than the cutter ?
isn't more a battle ship than the multipurpose ship as the corvette?
For trading mining - Empire
For exploration (neither, but Empire has an edge)
For combat - Courier is awesome
FAS >> Clipper due to hardpoint placement and lateral thrusters
Gunship is comparable to the Python in all categories except it has weaker shields.
The Cutter and Corvette are their own beasts. Corvette DPS is misleading due to reliability of PA shots.
IMO: Damage goes Anaconda > Cutter > Corvette unless using all thermic weapons where the PD edges the Corvette ahead of the Cutter
Defense goes Cutter > Corvette > Anaconda without question
Handling is tough because I value top speed vs NPCs and the Cutter's drift lends itself to FAoff - This is more personal flying style, but the Anaconda stacks up really well for less cost and no rank restrictions.
I personally love all the faction ships and don't think you can go wrong - Empire is better for more diverse activities as Feds are cbat focused.

It does for the Cutter, but not for the Clipper.
The Clipper's speed compensates for it's weak base shields.
The Cutter has the strongest shields of any ship currently available.

Dropship, because it's an awesome baby Python....
THE FEDRAL NAVY SHALL DESTROY ALL WITH OUR MIGHT!

Fed ships rule... +1 because I can
Courier and Cutter have good shields. Clipper shields are about the same as the shields on the Equivalent federal ship That is to say, they're quite bad.
Imperials are Macs and Feds are PCs?
Feds are Linux.
If you wat to get technical the Fed's shipyard made the Vulture and the Eagle too.
That begs the question, when will Gutamay make a couple non-faction locked model's? It'd only be fair.
