I use mine for OOS, getting resources, transporting my capped LX's to get them repaired. etc. I don't fly it but very seldom. I've got 17 of them. Don't get me wrong. I like the ship a lot but prefer flying my K's. :)

I love to fly mine around. Once I beat about 150 fighters and 2 sharks with just me and my "Nexus Battleship II."

The same way you make friends with anyone... kill their enemies, trade with them, give them shiploads of cash or do missions for them. You can find plenty of threads about gaining rep with races. And this sort of info is getting a little out of the spirit of the topic.

Myself I use it mainly for taking damaged ships to the yard until I'm in a position to RE it and build more, then I'll use them for OOS defence and probably most other things :D

When you RE it make sure you have plenty of resources on hand (when I did it there wasn't a microchip left in the entire X-Universe :!: ), as well as a lot of time - it takes about 20 hours to RE, and another 20 to build. I don't really think it's worth it. You'd probably be better off getting 3 or 4 M6's for OOS defense.

Myself, I use it mostly for Xenon Invasions & Bounty missions to take out capital ships, then switch to M3 for the smaller fighters.

I load mine with Ecells and use it as a long range carrier for my smaller M3s. Serves as an excellent support ship for engagements.

I used mine to earn a shedload of money v quickly by jumping into Xenon sectors, killing a couple of cap ships and running away, then coming back with a TS and collecting dropped GPPCs. Now I have a Python though :twisted: I'll use the Yacht to cruise in most likely, checking on stations etc.

Mine mainly gets used as a blcokade ship.

It parks at a problematic jump gate and keeps things locked down while I get secotr defences properly set up.

Currently, it's killing the regular Xenon patrols that are coming through Family Ryk and Ocean of Fantasy while I buy, equip and set Centaurs and Lasertowers up.

For me it was my springboard to wealth...

Up until bala gi, it was a thousand here, a million there... but I discovered very quickly that a hyp could clear a xenon sector and all you needed was a huge space hoover and a handy eq dock... then all of a sudden titans and pythons galore!!

It went into the re queue its now getting built i think...
Split now give me death? Nah. Just give me your ship.

If you have a fully equipped Arrow, that does 1320mps. verses the M7's 132mps...attach it to the M7 as one of it's 2 ships.

I use the M7 to Jump from sector to sector....then once in sector, I switch to the Arrow and head out at 1320mps. It makes for VERY fast travel to a dock, ship, ware, whatever. Then head back to the M7, and on again to the next task.

Wait!

So your saying that yachts are buyable, and that there are more? Where?
