[ＷＩＰ] The Elite Ship One Glance Reference
Asp S the only unloved, purposeless, slow, ship in ED only flown by people that are madder than a box of frogs!(that includes me BTW!)
The Asp S - Proving your Commander Mettle, no matter what you attempt to do.
Some of my observations:
Type-6
+ Makes a very good budget explorer - low price, good jump range, lots of internal space, good cockpit visibility
+ Fastest boost medium pad ship (tied with FAS)
Cobra Mk4
+ Excellent hardpoint placement (all hardpoints on top side very close together)
- Slowest of all small pad ships
DBX
+ Best jump range for combat fit ship (A rated modules, weapons, maximum shield and armor)
/ Heaviest hull small ship (not really a positive, but it means that jump range and speed change very little with outfitting and cargo load)
Beluga
+ Biggest fuel tank
Imp. Courier
+ Cheap when A-rated thanks to very small internal modules
Type-9
+ Can make 8 full length jumps without refuelling thanks to the combination of fuel tank size and FSD class
Type-10
+ 2nd highest mass lock factor (26) after Imp. Cutter

Ah, single seaters as a defining criteria, subcategorising Small... Nice idea.
Nice Idea.
When i start playing properly this will be really handy, thanks for everyone's input and why is it not a sticky thread or some such. Elite Dangerous is a terrible game at giving the player information, stuff like this is essential to play the game better.
Thanks for the encouragement, Zak.
As it happens, Alec Turner has added it to the "Best of the Forum
" sticky at the top of the "ship, weapon stat's [sic] and and combat tips" category.
Nice idea. That would be a fun project.
Imp eagle

+one medium two small over the three small eagle

Interesting. I’m wondering what defines an interceptor
I will put it as the first Imperial ship.
Thank you... Nice selection... repped and added.

Didn't finish reading the list, but I don't recall the imperial eagle being first imperial ship in the game, that was the clipper. Perhaps you meant first imperial ship available to low ranked commanders?
Edit: also anytime you list something like "fastest unengineered ship in the game" it might be worth noting if that's with a combat build or a racer. Not sure but pretty sure a combat iEagle is faster than a combat Viper (though of course this depends on your combat build and likely to vary)
Still good initiative.
