My friend and I thought the thing looked a lot like a flying Winnebago, not unlike the one in Space Balls

Funny...a while back I created a pilot file called "The Creator" and used it to put every possible weapon in EVGE on my ship...of course, after a while that wasn't fun anymore and I haven't cheated (in that sense anyway) since.

Perhaps for use as a player ship, but I've found them by far the most economical solution for hiring for cargo space (but then again, trading gets boring quickly).

Yes, the Scoutship is THE versatile ship of EV. Like the Arada in EVO.

Yeah...for some reason EV adds your ship speed to the speed of cannon bolts, but not to turret (or front-quadrant turret) bolts.
Not only that, because of the quirk in the EV weapon damage formula (/2 instead of /4), the laser cannon actually does more damage than the proton cannon when their reload rates are considered. I discovered a couple weeks ago that EVGE fixed this though.

Heh. Those first few months with EV find you having fun doing those deliveries. Strangely enough, I didn't start not-getting-as-much-fun-out-of-EV-ing until after I learned the monty python. Fighting like the AI does it is so much more fun. (Well, now it's not so bad because I can do the circling technique, which is more difficult than MP but at least gives the AI a chance).

Alright, enough shuttle talk for me.
