First of all I want to say I testet all ships with max outfitting (highes possible shields, reactors repairsys. etc,) and as guns used tachyon (caus IMHO there the best).
Comparison Demon Hunter vs. Centurion
For the type of pilot running dangerous missions or doing a lot of bounty hunting a fighting stuff, one might think about using a centurion or demon hunter. But what ship is more fitting ur requirements?
Here's my oppinion:
Weapons:
Centurion:
The centurion is the on with the highest firepower: U got 4 gun-racks under its wings arranged in a line, two "big" weapon bays (big means: 20 Torpedos or 10 missiles) giving u an overall of max 40 Torpedos or 20 missiles, and last but not least a turret with 2 more guns
Demon Hunter:
U get 4 gun racks which are arranged 2by 2 like in a rectangle with on "small" weapon bay (10 torps or 5 missiles) and on tiny weapon bay for one light missile ( i used this with the tracktor capability 4 mounting a tracktor beam --> rescue missions).
Engines:
Centurion 500 nominal speed 1000 with afterburner
Demon 450 nominal 1200 with afterburner
Shields
Centurion: shield3 reactor 3
Demon shield 2 reactor 3 (im not shure wether on can build in shield 3, just did do it)
summary:
What the demon hunter lacks in firepower he gains in speed and agility, and on more thing to mention: with the 1 higher reactor the demon has the ability to fire and flight under afterburner use, with the centurion one will fast get out of energy.
So what ship to use?
U got money? U buy urself a centurion! Although the guns are spread mor apart from each other than they are with the demon (making it harder to hit with all 4 guns at time), the spreading although has an advantage, as u will hit ur target more likely. And when u got urself 4 autotrackes that problem is a "bye bye".
The difference in speed is negligible in respect to the better shields of the centurion.
There isn't much of a difference after all. I use a demon hunter, cause i think the demon hunter is bit mor agile making it the better fighter. but thats just my thought.
Comparison Orion vs. the other 2
Here it comes! The Orion! The ship i liked most in org. Privateer with RF.
b*ll*hi*!
The orion comes with 2 gunracks one big weapon bay anda turret, givin it the smallest amount of firepower of the three fighter crafts.
So one might say: "hey the orion is a tank!"
Yeah! big, slow, with a "big bun" easy to hit.
And with shield 5 its not a tank, its just a slo big, sitting duck.
The problem is: Where the hell is all that weight comming from?
U got the same cargo space as in the other two.
So I would say... more armor? NOPE the orion has the same armor capacitys as the other two.
More Hull armor? mhh ok. no.
I checked the numbers. and the orion is in the ship info with 81 (demon hunter 108)
And the shield it says is 0 (haha, nice joke)
So I say, and hell I meant it: The orion is a gimbed piece of bullshit :
Cause just think about the demon and the orion! boith cost 125k blank, and therefor the orion should compensate what it lacks in speed an maneuverability with armor and shields!
So I would even say, the orion should be able to go up to shield 6 or 7.
And the orion should be abled to mount a carge expansion as in the org. game.
I tested the orion and the demonhunter against several numbers of dralthi fighters. If there are more than 2 dralthis ur a dead man in the orion, with the demon hunter.... easy targets (of course with autotracking).
I never died as quickly as in an orion.
So the Orion just has disadvantages vs. the demon hunter as they both can carry 50 cargo (if the orion could carry more cargo that would be a little step towards equality)
And some suggestion:
With the shields there is a grading into different ranks of shields, why not implement this with the armor and hull?
So lets say : the demon hunter is a light fighter craft, fast and agile and therefor can carry armor class 1 (meaning u can buy at max one pieces of armor --> 108 with tungsten)
The centurion as middle heavy fighter should go up to 2 or even 3 , giving it a max armor of 216 or even 324
The orion is heavy, and therefor should be able to carry at least 4 armor part, if not even more (the balancing should be considered by people who programm). Than and just than the orion is a real tank!
So everyone's invited to give her/his oppinion/suggestions/experiences, especially about the galaxy, i wasn't able to test,yet
