I'm just curious what everyone does all their different stuff in. I've been playing a few years now and tend to have a different ship for each activity, and I'm interested to hear what other people are rocking.
I myself use a phantom for getting around, doing errands, and exploring. Jumps 68 Ly and makes it easy to beat the carrier to a location to pick up missions before changing ships to one that's more specialized.
I use a MK2 or T-10 for combat, depending on if it's more targeted or if it's stacking massacre missions. I can't live without my fighter pilot, who is now Dangerous (I'm only expert) and a lot of help.
I use a T9 for straight cargo missions, and I use a cutter for mining.
I use a courier for data stealing.
I have a Robigo python that I leave there. I hate that thing, but it's the best at that activity, hands down. (I have a friend who loves the python and has a different one outfitted for each role, so I know my opinion isn't universal, haha.)
I haven't bought a new ship in ages because these handily cover all my needs.
What are you flying, and why do you prefer it?
