I've always had a hard time deciding which of these ships won the "worst fighter of Override" award, but I think the Krait wins. It might be named after a deadly asian snake, but that fighter is nothing more than a cardboard box armed with a pair of deringers. The Voinian Interceptor is also a bad fighter in comparison to the Krait, but its firepower certainly makes it the better choice to pilot.

Your vote?

Its gotta be the Krait, I think even the Shuttlecraft makes a better fighter. Well... maybe not the shuttlecraft, but Voinian Interceptors still carry a much heavier loadout of weaponry

True... The shuttlecraft doesn't make that bad of a fighter. Armed with three blaze cannons, an afterburner and a few other minor outfits, it can handle a Helian or a pair of Kraits with ease.

I'd have to agree that the Krait is the worst fighter of the game. The ship has no shielding or weapons whatsoever, however I did like my cheat krait that had a krait fighter bay

The krait is obviously th worst of the two.
And probably the worst in the game. It's week and can be taken
out in seconds.

It's not a fighter it's just a bug that flys aound annoying the hell out of you.

krait-noun-cardboard box with wings and blaze cannons; anything stronger then a blaze riffle can take it out. Also look under fragile crafts, pilot hazards.

Voinian Intercepter-noun-fast rock armed with select weaponry; UE and Emalghion fighters known to blow them from space. See also fragile, Voinian mistakes and trials, faulty workmanship, and rocks.

This has been a dose of Whitehawk's EVO dictonary and encylepedia. Thank you and good night.

It does. I can take out a Krait in an unmodified one with ease.

Those of us who took part in the 'Crew of One' challenge can tell you: compared to the Krait, the shuttle is a real Rolls-Royce. It's got space for upgrades, and space for cargo. Also, it doesn't fireball as soon as it gets hit by one needle missile and one blaze shot. Jumping 'straight through' a system with renegades in it can kill you, in a Krait.

This seems like an excellent opportunity for me to include a link to my Krait page...

That sounds about right.

The Krait is definitely the worst fighter. It has eight shields and a few blaze cannons. A modified Shuttlecraft could probably take it out, as it only takes about ten blaze hits to destroy it.

The krait is definitely worse. At least the interceptor has rockets. The krait's got nothing going for it whatsoever.

The Krait's only good trait is that it's fast, and even that is bad compared to some Crescent ships.

At least the Interceptor might actually win a fight with a shuttle. :rolleyes:

A bug? I thought it was a snake (a harmless one at that)...

Eight shields? Lets see here... That would mean the Defender of Escape Velocity has better shielding, and way better shield recharge. Never thought there was a fighter worse than that piece of junk.

Which brings up a good point. While Voinians fighter certainly won't hold up long against exposed fire, they can certainly provide a whallop in a short matter of time. If you are attacked by a group of Voinian fighters, you can be sure that you won't be leaving the battle with good shielding. Those rockets and neutrons hurt...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (I've got to find a more modern cliché), the Krait is by far the worst of the two.

In other words, you can't find anything terrible enough to describe the Krait?

No, he has to find something better that "sounding like a broken record."

The Krait doesn't appear to have shield recharge at all. When it's damaged, it just stays at that percentage of shielding. Oh, and the Defender also costs twice as much as a Krait, but you wouldn't buy either one, so it doesn't really matter.

An unmodified Shuttlecraft can take it out. Easily.

Ok ok, what about that "Strange Asteroid" on Igadzra during the New Calcutta Mission string, its a shuttlecraft with no guns and no movement capabilites. I think the Krait might stand a chance against that...
