Advice for a good personal M6

I've found it hard to find information on M6's that relates solely to X3: Reunion; which is what i am currently playing.

I just want some info on what would be the best for a personal craft in terms of speed, maneuverability and weapon load out.

Good all-around weapon loads are appreciated

I did however; manage to deduce that i will most likely be choosing between a Dragon, Centaur, or Nemesis. So information on these ships specifically is most definitely appreciated.

I do apologize if this topic has been done to death but searching yielded literally, no results.

I'd pick the Centaur - average in all aspects, fits almost any purpose.
Nemesis: Also quite good but I like my M6 with lots of turrets.
Dragon: If you want to move out of trouble as fast as you got into it.
Osprey: It's a regular tank - slow, heavy armoured, nice selection of guns.
Hydra: Well, on the other hand, it looks quite nice...

Edit:
As for the Nemesis: During a side plot you can obtain one for free.

I suspect your search is yielding far too many results, at which point the search facility gives up and returns none, to avoid putting too greater load on the forum servers. It's better to use Google (see link in signature), or if you must use the forum search, remember that words of three letters or less and some common terms (race names etc.) will show no results as they are covered in the [url=http://forum.egosoft.com/search/index.html?template=default&style=default.css][b]Li[/b]nk[b]Li[/b]st[/url].

If you want to fight other M6s or smaller, the Centaur with its turrets is a fine choice. If you want to take on M1/M2 ships, then the Dragon with aPPC gunnery will serve well.

X3R? Hyperion hands down. 2GJ shields, 169 speed and tons of other gun stuff

Ofcourse, you have to do the HQ quest for it ^^*

Yeah, in X3R the M7 is the best personal ship, by far. M6's are a bit rubbish, to be honest. They are useable in X3TC, but (IMO) not worth the effort in X3R.

Funny, in my opinion it's the exact opposite. M6 were pretty fun in R but in TC anything smaller than a heavy M6 is not worth the fuss. Probably depends on how you fly them.

Dragon is great if you want a super fighter, Nemesis is great if you're after a Corvette with power and speed. Plus a PSG in the rear turret.
