[X3AP] Best Earth Fleet M3?
I've chosen to play on the Terran side, but I find it easier to fight in an M3 class ship rather than the M6 that you start with. Which one would be the best all-rounder to buy? (Don't care about the price or value for money, I just want the best choice).

Springblossoms are ridiculously powerful at taking out M5's to M3+'s.
Just load them up with 8 PM/AML's in the front and PSSC's everywhere alse. Fly towards a group of 3 or 4 M5's and M4's and they'll pretty much all be dead in one pass.
The PSSC's are the ones for taking out smaller ships and the PM/AML's are what you'll use on anything from M6 to M7 class.
[Edit: The only real issue is the almost total lack of dog-fighting skill required for the smaller ships!!].
They call all be found in the same place as where you buy the Springblossom from although you might have to search for them a bit

It all depends on what you want in an M3 (as usual)...
If you're into blistering speed it's the Spit.
If you want unmatched firepower it's the #deca.cefa.
if you want shielding it's the Fenrir.
Of course if money is no object take the lot (I have) and fly whatever the situation demands.

Do you miss dangerous pirates?
Try leading the target a little more...

Cobra Mk.

Is it sufficient? Should I get the springy of the spitfyre? They're both incredibly fast, and they have decent firepower.
that is an actual downside of it - the fact that it is the best ship (IMO) in game and makes any other corvette/fighter (even frigates 
) obsolete Forget the spitfyre I think I know a good description of a ship when I see oneJumee wrote:you need to get used to springy, you might crash a couple of times but when you do get used you'll never want to fly any other ship in gameAidyer wrote:I'm wondering if the steering is enough on the springy.

you will need to get PMAML's in the main battery and PSSC in turrets (do not do the heresy that some people do - putting EMPC's on springyAidyer wrote:Forget the spitfyre I think I know a good description of a ship when I see oneJumee wrote:you need to get used to springy, you might crash a couple of times but when you do get used you'll never want to fly any other ship in gameAidyer wrote:I'm wondering if the steering is enough on the springy.
