I believe it is a tie between the adder and gunship for my least favorite. They have their place and purpose, but I fail to enjoy flying them.
My least favourite ship is the Cutter.
I understand that this is not a popular view. But... it looks awful. It sounds worse. I struggle to keep a straight face every time I boost in it.
It has the worst drift of all the ships. It's a total pig to fly. There is no joy there for me.
Yet it's undeniably the best for hauling stuff from A to B. Not to mention a very handy mining ship. I want to sell it and never fly it again, yet when I do the math: it's too useful.
Damn you Cutter. Damn you.
Which is exactly, what makes the Vette wipe the floor with Condas. Especially the looks![]()
With the right modification parts the Conda can look pretty decent, actually.

Wow, this thread has become hipster really quick
Happy New year to everyone by the way.
Type 7. Between the Python and the T9, it's a pointless ship.
Haha many of you hate ships I love, but that's okay. I love the Anaconda, and not just for the typical reasons. I love how it looks and how it handles. It makes me feel like I'm back in the Navy again (except in space).
So, let's talk about 'the other ships', the ones we sold quickly and quietly, and now only talk about in hushed voices to our closest confidents, or to distant strangers who will never know our names.
I'll start.
I really dislike the Asp X.
Long long before the Asp Scout was even a twink in Ed's eye, I tried this ship after earning enough from my T6, and hated it almost immediately. It's reputation was so high but it does nothing better (for me) than the T6, and was the first ship I got blown-up in. By all means blame the pilot (and I and RUBBISH at combat), but I had survived all until then in my T6.
I sold my Asp X, and recently my Dolphin, and so now I ask you to 'bring out your dead', and share their tales.
Tell us all about the ships you didn't gel with, why, and what you went on/back to, and where you ultimately 'arrived'.
My tale is simple - I went back to my T6 (I always keep key ships, e.g. T6, Cobra III, Sidewinder), and finally earned enough for a Python.
I now have an Anaconda, and I will keep this along with the others, but still no Asp X. Not ever. Never!!!!!
Must admit, I don't see how anybody could dislike the way the Annie looks.
Sure, you can criticise it for being an anomaly, or for having lousy agility (and a poor view) in SC but it's a terrific looking ship.
Even if you prefer swoopy ships, it's hard not to appreciate the way the Annie looks.
Both the Anaconda and the Corvette have a definite "military" feel to them.
Not sure what it is but there's something about them that makes me feel like you might have seen them on the ocean in WW2 or, perhaps, cruising down a river in Vietnam.
Does the Hauler have any fans? With the Sidewinder being such a lovely wee ship and my getting a Freeagle as well with the package I bought, I never felt the need to buy one. I had a fleet of small, fast, tremendously fun ships to chose from before I got a throwaway taxi Hauler. It was a reasonable way to get around the fleet I've scattered all over the bubble, but now you can just transfer your ship to your current location that's kind of redundant. I've never had a 'real' Hauler, one that I've used for anything other than a bare bones, one way, A to B flight. Are they any good for newbs? Or are they just best ignored until you can afford a Cobra, Viper or Diamondback?
