I don't know; for me, the priority is always exploration when I'm starting out a game, and that's why the (url="http://"http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~dsghosh/evosite/shipyard1.html#scoutship")scoutship(/url), especially when tricked out with a fuel scoop or two, seems to be a better choice to me with its 8 jumps of fuel standard. It helps you get acquainted with the game faster -- and by the time you've explored enough that you're acquainted with the game, doing all the missions you find in the process, you should have enough money to buy a better ship. In addition, the scoutship has better acceleration and turning -- good for avoiding renegades -- and the extra gun slot you deride can be useful. Also, it has more free space (although, I admit, that can be taken up by the turret you'll almost certainly need to buy unless you, like myself, love the autopilot button :)). Of course, if you're hell-bent on living an insular lifestyle, by all means, go for the (url="http://"http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~dsghosh/evosite/shipyard1.html#transporter")transporter(/url). I won't argue that it's not a better ship, but for new players, the scoutship is better.

Badminton Overhead Clear: Get under and slightly behind the falling birdie. Have racket ready in backswing position. Extend racket toward sky and contact shuttle at highest point. The racket face should be open. Snap wrist forward on contact. Shuttle should fly to your opponent's backcourt. -- shayborg's tip of the week
