[X3TC] Which M6 as a personal/boarding ship?
I want to buy my first M6 in TC.
I have not finished Terran Plot (figured that I need M6 to get to the station in M1xx sector - one of missions) - no Vidar yet.
I have over 30m on my bank account
I have quite poor rep with Terran (Marchal of Mars) so Springblossom is at the moment not an option... besides Terran ships look ugly to me.
I have no M6 so I cannot cap Hyperion.
Not lots of options.
Heavy Centaur or maybe Dragon?

You do not need a M6 to get in the M146 Sector. You could even get in ina space stui if you wanted. i finsihed all the plot with my M4 Sabre and later with the M3 you're given till you get the Vidar.elayeth wrote:I want to buy my first M6 in TC.

ANd the Vidar's the best M6 around, along with Sprinblossom, depends on your tastes.

I bought a heavy osprey because the stats looked good but I'm not that happy with it as a personal ship as it seems to run out of puff fairly quickly and is slow to turn. I tried it on a Xenon Q but I couldn't do enough damage to it with any of the weapons I had equipped (4xCIGs/4xPRGs/4x whatever that energy sucking ion weapon is).
I've recently bought an M7 Panther and I'm finding it a much nicer ship, it can't dock and is a little hungry on the energy cells but with FAAs all round it'll happily beat up a Xenon Q and anything smaller.
I don't know whether I simply picked an M6 that didn't suit me or whether it's the whole class though.

Hi All,
A couple of points.
1.) You do not need an M6 to carry on the Terran Plot from the point you are at. Infact you get given the Vidar at a later stage when you need it.
2.) With regards an M6 for capping.. I use a Heavy Centaur fitted with full CIG's on the front and IPG's in its left and right turrets. (PBG's in the rear for missile defence). I find the heavy centaur maybe a bit slower than the skirion.. but it turns faster!! and it looks way cooler!!

a few considerations,I don't know whether I simply picked an M6 that didn't suit me or whether it's the whole class though.
CIGs/Ion Shard Railguns are high powered weapons but they are very energy hungry compared to HEPTs. For assaulting larger ships you should have some HEPTs (or Plasma Burst Generators) equipped as you get more bang for your joule.
Ospreys slowness is also a major concern
Irrational factors are clearly at work.

but if you simply want a marine/boarding ship, it's hard to beat the Hyperion Vanguard. This what I capped my Aggie with!
Bwahahahahahaha!

I bought Heavy Nemesis...
Good speed and rudder (better then Centaur), good firepower.
Still some money left.
My economy isnt bad so I could afford one.
I got 5 (broken in TC) UTs - not worht investing in - for sure!
I got 14 TSes as CAGs/sell for my station
2x complex and some other single stations.
I got:
3x mamba
1x advanced nova
1x chimera (as personal ship_
2x kestrel (as satelite deploy and asteroid scan...)
And some more that I do not care much for...
Just wanted to have my first M6...
I had no idea that I can finish M146 w/o M6. I tried several times with Chimera but failed quickly. I read somwhere that somebody finished it with M6.
How to finish it in fast Chimera?
Regarding my H.Nemesis - I will pack it with CIGs and IPG to capp some Hyperions and other M6...
Never done capping before so need some practice.
