I like the Shuttlecraft. But I'd only prefer the Shuttlecraft over a Defender. All other ships are better, in my opinion.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and then used against you
The shuttlecraft looks kinda like the top of a computer tower. That thought just came into my head. Wierd

LOL. On one of my pilots, (I had numerous, a lot of them screwed up when I took off plug-ins :p) I saved up doing Rush Deliveries on my shuttle till I got a kestrel. No joke. I also went pirate style on my shuttle, double proton cannons was it? Anyways, I could take out scoutships and light freighters well hehe
------------------
I never got rig of my shuttle craft un till i had to go up agenst the aleians then i got a defender and kestrel escourts so i whooped their @$$ i just stayed away from the seeker drones and heavy fusion beams and let my escorts take on the fighters.

Good job, Stardust!

(B)Well, everybody says it is, but I digress. I like my shuttlecraft. I usually don't upgrade until I have the credits to buy a Corvette. I like its boxy appearence, I like its dismal offensive armament of 3 laser cannons, I like having to Monty Python Pirate Argosies. What are your opinions on the Shuttlecraft? Do you like it or hate it?
From alexander:
I like the figure and shape of the shuttle craft. But it isn't that great of a ship. You can't really attack, not much fuel, not much space for weapons, not much space for delivering supplies. I usually just do "rush" missions with the shutttlecraft and then when i have enough credits, by a frighter (i am not exactly sure of the exact name), get tons of money doing rush missions or regular missions with that, then when i have enough money, get a rapier. Then join confederate or rebellion.

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.

I then got rid of my defender and got back in to the 'box' (ShuttleCraft) and got come confed escourts to use as freighters for freight runs. i made a lot of money that way.
