[ＷＩＰ] The Elite Ship One Glance Reference
Wow, no, lol. How interesting, my build is way different to yours. I got that thruster roll on the third try (very lucky).
I only have 1 D rated item (apart from sensors and LS of course) the distributor, here is my build...engineering is pretty accurate, in most cases very accurate, there's a screenie there for you too!

Sure. The offset for those amazing positives, is that it is one of the slowest ships in the game in terms of speed, it cannot outrun any other ship. Having said that, it still manages to maintain at least a level of agility on par with the Python and has a small advantage over the Python in the agility stakes, since like all the Federal Medium 3 (FDS, FAS, FGS) it is far less sensitive to engine pips and blue zone to maintain its (not outstanding, but acceptable) pitch and yaw rates.
Roger that.... I need to somehow explain that in numbers, like using Coriolis or something to calculate loss of rotation on pips vs other ships...
Initially, I'm looking for outliers for a record breakers kind of thing... For example
- worst yaw in the game (45s / 360°) -- for example.
kind of bitesized info.
How did I miss that? Cheers!
To explain the difference in how a Python, an FAS and a FDL use their thrusters would take 2000 words and a lot of links.
(1 pip and below blue zone, 1 pip and abve blue zone, 1 pip and in the center of the blue zone, 2 pips and below the blue zone, etc etc, then throttle position and vertical acceleration, then lateral acceleration, there are too many variables, the python has great agility in the blue zone, but terrible yaw, the FAS has amazing yaw and doesn't care much about pips or blue zone, but the Python has an extra large hardpoint and a stronger hull to compensate). I thought you wanted to make a pros/cons at a glance, which I can easily provide based on my experience. I think you should only ask for numbers if someone disputes something, but hey, it's your thread
P.S. You attributed good armour on the FAS to me, but I never said that.

Super thread! I'll add this to the "Ship, weapon stat's, combat tips, etc" section of my "Best of forum" sticky.
Probably too vague but the Hauler recently proved itself as having the best speed vs. jump range capability for visiting multiple remote outposts before your Oxygen runs out!

Citations, photo evidence ? ....

Vulture
-weakest canopy in the game
I don't think it requires a citation, any player that's flown one knows it.
Seconded, I was specifically looking to break my canopy a while back and EVERYONE I asked said get a Vulture.

Ah... I see where you're coming from... Problem with pros and cons is that there are too many opinions. (except for the Anaconda, the is too good at far too many things.)
I'm trying to keep this as scientific or at least as unanimously incontrovertible as possible rather than opinion based. Once I've got all the facts and figures in place, then I'll add anecdotal descriptions.
The problem is that a ship is more than the sum of its parts. I'm more looking for dry statistics, like a Toms Hardware or Anandtech benchmark rather than an episode of Grand Tour since the fora are more than replete with opinion, but often lack solid, numerical facts.
Wow, thanks for the linkage!!!
This is exactly the sort of benchmarks I'm looking for. Stuff tested and backed by solid numbers and VIDEO exposition!
However, I'm sorry, I followed the link but the article seemed to be talking about the DBX... Can you elaborate?

Yes, It is Known... Good call.
added and repped.
Now we are talking! EVIDENCE, folks... It's a thing.
Holy Schitt!!!! I was able to rep you again... What is the rep reset criteria? Anyone know.... Oh way to derail my own thread.... PM it is, then....
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy..
added for flavour! (rich roast flavour).
Read again. Esvandiary (Cmdr Alot, the race winner) initially tried the DBX but switched to the Hauler for the above stated reasons.
OK, I'll try to work in that framework.
Sorry... Moving goalposts and everything... LOL.... It's a Work In Progress.... What can I say
