Which ships are you flying.... THE RESULTS

On one hand, i'm surprised so many fly the python. Flies like , not a good cockpit view, and doesn't do anything great. Probably due to just hype from players who never moved on to other ships. On the other hand, the sample size of your study is small. I didn't vote or know anything about the "election" as many others. So the numbers are not accurate. To elaborate further, I always fly in open, it's been a year at least since I've seen a player in a Cobra. Most of the players I run into are in Kraits, Annie's, Cutter's, Vette's, or AspX's.

Python does medium pad trading great. It does it better than any other ship. It can do a good job of anything else, too. It's popular because it's a great ship that's really good at whatever you build it for.

That being said, I'm glad the Kraits showed up to give it some competition.

....I mean, 18 people might've claimed the Annie was their favorite ship but 25 people might've had, say, the Corvette listed somewhere in their list of favourite ships.
Does that make the Annie favorite or the Corvette?

If it was me (and, yes, it'd be a faff) I'd award people's favorite ship 1 point, 2nd favourite 2 points, 3rd favorite 3 points etc.
When all the ships are listed and the points compiled, the ship with the fewest points would be the overall favourite, accounting for all decisions......

Nah mate, for if the Keelback was nominated by only one person as their favourite ship, then its one point would make it the overall winner. Or better yet the ship with no votes, e.g. the Asp Scout, would be the winner with zero.

More seriously, it was impossible to ascribe order to all of the feedback, so it would have been unfair of me to impose any system of weighting to the replies.

Additionally, I didn't want answers in a ranking order as it doesn't reflect how I use my ships. The Python is for mission running, DBX for exploring, Chieftain for fun in a resource extraction site, my Sidewinder is my taxi, so none can really claim a top spot. It all depends on the activity at hand.

I think that there was a time, that it was the go to killing machine; but then the game evolved. So that these days it would seem that the Vulture, requires some Engineers, to make it what it should already be.

I tried one, a couple of years ago. Thinking it was the ship for CZ and combat ranking, but I just could not get on with it. I tried a beam and a multi-cannon and it just got too hot and then run out of ammo. So I tried a couple of Pulses and it was OK, but not really as 'impressive' as i felt it should be, after reading all the hype.

Twin PAC vulture or pacifiers is a thing of beauty.

Power issues, out of control heat, and a glass jaw.

All of which are easily fixed...

Power - engineered power plant an run any setup you want.

Heat - never had much of an issue with heat production but can be engineered also.

Glass jaw - dont try and slug it out face to face , vulture is an extremely nimble ship and can run rings around most others.

Having said that , the real issue with the vulture is that it has bad power plant placement and gimballed weapons target the power plant wuthout actually needing to set power plant as a target , a vulture without shields generally is a bad idea.

Not true. The grey bar shows how many total of this ship are registered on Inara. The smaller yellow bar shows how many of those are set as main.

That's what I said.

I don't see any stat' which relates to "most commonly flown".

It's simply most commonly owned and "main" ship.

That's true, and I guess it would be difficult to get that statistic. But ships most commonly owned at least somewhat correlate to most commonly flown. Unless you are a hoarder you don't keep ships around that you don't fly.

Suggested ages ago that ships could be fitted with some kind of "odometer" so info' about how often you spend flying each of your ships was recorded.

Granted, it might be awkward if you, say, spend 100 hours flying an FdL and then you flog it and buy a new one but it could be set up to record how long you spend flying each type of ship and as long as it tracked all your currently-owned ship the data could be pumped out to INARA for more detailed analysis.
