Light Fighters

[Stuart.croll]

Just looking for a little advice on light fighters. Something I've never bothered with before. Specifically something suitable for a FL Id with no tech nerf problems.

Thanks in advance.

Honestly, light fighters are a bit lacking at the moment. Unless your opponent loves to eat mines, they are likely to simply tank out any damage you can do.....with usually only four guns, that's not a lot.

They are mostly useful as interceptors due to higher cruise speed, and for harassing enemies in group fights while avoiding damage.

If you want a FL LF, you might want to try these:

Hayabusa: The smallest ship in the game. Impossible to hit, but has only three guns. You're not going to be doing a lot of damage. Also, it's house civilian, so it'll run at 90%. That doesn't matter, though, because with only three guns you'll never run out of energy.

Tiger Shark: Turns incredibly fast, and is still very small. One of the most agile ships, but it still has four guns. Also house civilian.

Surveyor: This one is actually more of a heavy fighter. It has five forward weapons and a torpedo slot; its size and agility are also closer to a HF. Think of it as a HF that sacrifices a bit of hull and damage output for 400 cruise speed.

Scimitar man. Best LF if you can handle the size.

A light fighter is not something you'd want to use in 1 vs 1 situation. Use it in groupfights, awesome harassing power. Tiger Shark.

Many thanks for all your replies. Will give one or two a spin.

There are light fighters which are capable of dueling even VHFs but these are in the hands of factions and will get nerfd for the FL ID.

The most powerful LF is arguable the Liberator. Fast and hard to hit. Others won't like you if you manage to fly this thing well.

My second choice would be the Onuris. It works nearly as well as the Liberator.

The best civilian LF is either Scimitar or Tiger Shark I'd say.

/restart Miner and use the Surveyor if you're feeling lazy. Nice ship to use.
