I am currently doing the Nebula Mission, but I am not quite sure what it will do for me, but I will find out soon enough. Are swivel cannons better than turrets, is their range superior? I have noticed that the Bounty hunters can shoot really far.
After I do these missions for the Nebula thing I will go out looking for more missions.
So you can get something from the Azdgari?
Than should I look for missions with the Emagla, UE, or Miranu?

I´ve never noticed that. Sounds interesting though

I don't think swivel cannon have any advantage over turrets, though it always seems that turrets have less range then regular guns to me. Oh, and to respond to the other poster, you definitely want to go through the Miranu and UE missions before tackling one of the Strands, it can be quite tough if your ship and outfits aren't up to par.

I'd suggest UE first, for storylines sake, oh and I thought you could only get the Nebulae missions after the miranu trading concern took interest in you?

Ok, the Igadzra Warship is the best ship in the game. Good speed, turning, weapons cappacity and a helluva lot of room for upgrades and whatnot. Plus one cannot deny its good amount of shields and armor. For some reason i was able to do zidara missions as well with my Iggy Warship (sorry but its a pain in the *** to type those strand names) So i got extra space in my ship, plus a Zidara ECM, and a phased beam. Those were the days....

The arada would fit best there, you can have a CF bay (or krait, but thats worthless). Although it will lose most of its weapons space. The azzie warship is a modified cres warship, so you dont have to capture one, you can just get a CW, sell fighter bayand SAD's, add a fourth turret, get azdara bay, maneuvering upgrades, mass expansions, and shield generators. Still too slow for me though....

and phantm: the igazra is too slow, and not that powerful. it can kill zidaras easily, but loses to an azzie warship. It is however a powerful ship. Also phased beams sux0r.

As for the bounty hunter, yes it has long range, but I never thought to compare it to a normal CW. It could just be very aggressive.

Emperor Ent: Azdgari missions are the best of the strands, you get some nice stuff (azdara, azdara bay, azdgari upgrade (like RCS but costs more and takes 0 mass), shield generator, experimental generator, etc. UE missions are nice, much better than voinians, and you get cool items like cloaking device and marine gear (to capture ships easier), plus the fames UE cruiser, which is the most powerful western (non-crescent) ship. Other ships too. Miranu missions have big payoff, and get some nice outfits,but they are non-military things like a nebpen device (another sensor upgrade) and one new ship, the gunship, which i wouldn't buy (not great).
