I have this strange suspicious feeling that someone deleted my post
Anyway, I LOVE the Kestrel. It's like my baby. I always loved the thing. When I had finnaly saved up enough money for it and when it said name your ship when I bought it, I completly froze for fifteen minuetes. Seriously, not kidding.
I just couldn't beleive I was finaly able to purchase my dream ship! (it had taken me over half a year for me to get ten million credits). That's the sign of a true EV addict.
And the kestrel CAN take on the alien warship. all you have to do is cricle around the bloody thing (literaly- if you refer to the color :D) and fire your turrets, of course you need all the speed upgrades thoguh.
Unfortunetly, I've learned of an evil thing called "editors." Now I can purchase any ship at my very whim, and I lost respect for the mighty warship.
I hope that EV3 will restore that sense of respect and perfection--I'm not going to use any editors on it. I'm just gonna play it straight through.
(and if anyone deletes this, I can repost it anyway ;))
for the EVO vote though, I go for the Igadzra
