I think you've had enough. I said all were pointless, not useless. Two different words and meanings. The manufacturer of the ships is no matter.
KP- pointless.
AS- pointless.
Orca- pointless.
T7- pointless.
Crusader, Challenger and Chieftan all pointless. Well actually no. If it weren't for these ugly pieces of space junk, Core Dynamics would still be a competitor, not owner.


I am still waiting for the stuff you've been smoking.
Pointless or useless do not matter.
I just said that 2 of those are useless.
All other have their roles and some of them are great ships.
Krait Phantom is great exploration ship as Kalenar said. But it is also very good combat ship being fast and with great PD.
Orca is very good Explorer and she can outrun even Mamba.
T7 - as it name suggests is great entry level cargo transporter.
Alliance Chieftain is one of the top combat ship and undisputed AX combat king.
Alliance Challenger is just a tougher but slower Chieftain
Imperial Clipper is very good all rounder. Preference of many core miners thanks to its speed.

P. S. Send me the good stuff already!

Right on right on. Look, I'm not gonna lie. Only thing better than those points is my "Stuff".
Impressive fleet you got there. I see some unintentionally familiar names.

BTW, I am surprised you missed Keelback. T6 with SLF.

... And I have no idea of what familiar names you talk. My fleet takes names from First Alliance Fleet commanded by "Blackjack" Geary from the book series "The Lost Fleet". (with small exceptions in most recent assets)

Nar, just the old "Play it my way or you're doing it wrong" road.

Well trodden but still fun to watch first-timers walk it.

The best fun to be had outside of the game, possibly, is discussion of playstyle, ships and preferences.

Even more fun to be had by discounting a ship as 'useless / pointless' - I'd, naturally, point a finger straight at the Anaconda were I expressing an opinion in that vein.

Perhaps the best thing to take away from the endless discussions is the the 'best ship' is the one that does whatever the individual wants (I wish to use 'you' but...)
and the best way to play is that which scratches one's particular itch!

Of course, the last thing I say would be to join the Silverbacks... But as I'm already in a squadron on my main 2 accounts, they will have to wait for my 3rd to advance before I ask them

Same as in some of my ship names.
Oh the Keelback. (I was wondering when someone would call me out on the “pointless” ships that I own.) That little tank treated me pretty well. My KB is currently standing by at Jaques in Colonia, ready to continue to stand by at a moments notice!

I kept mine from first flying it nearly 3 years ago... I still chuckle when it comes out, with added engineering these days, but still silly fun!

I know the Python has a crazy following, but a Keelback?

What would you say makes it a fun ship?

Ah, I checked your ships. Now I get it.

Keelback can carry the most cargo whilst being able to boost the slot sideways with two-way traffic making it the perfect smuggling ship.

Plus, it has that Lakon classic sci-fi look to it.
