No pteranodon in the mix? It's a very good M2 even if i'm not sure if it's a M2+ anymore in FL.

Skirnir?
6.9m/s less than cobra but:
2x more weapons
2500 more cargo space
5GJ more shields
0.2r/min more turn speed
(more weapon recharge and laser energy)
also probably more damaging rockets per space used
and it can use boarding pods now too

Okay I'll bite, but you could debate the pros and cons of almost any ship all day long. Covering most bases except M7Ds which I haven't used yet:
  • M5:
    -Advanced Kestral (Try it with Energy Bolt Chain guns!)
    -Valkyrie (Only load 2 EMPC's, 5 is a joke)
  • M3:
    -Fenrir
    -Aamon Prototype
  • M6: (Spend most of my time in these)
    -Hyerpion Vanguard / Kogarasu Maru
    -Acinonyx Prototype
    -Heavy Centaur Prototype
  • M7: (Biggest things I pilot myself)
    -Agamemnon
    -Tern
    -Cerberus
  • M7m:
    -Cobra
    -Skirnir
  • M2: (Go big or go home)
    -Megalodon
  • TP: (Mission runner)
    -Ocelot
  • TL:
    -Mammoth
  • TS:
    -Mule AT
    -OWL
    -Caimon Tanker

Until it's fixed:
Teladi Kite Vanguard, M4:
706W laser reload is faster than nearly all M3s, which means it boasts a ridiculous sustained damage output for its class. Can fire 6x PACs "indefinitely" (takes 6s to recharge after continually firing for 4.5 minutes), which means:
5.5s to go through a 200MJ shield
~30s to go through a 1GJ shield

Does take a few minutes to go through 1,000,000 hull points though :roll:

It's also a Teladi ship, so not very fast and with only 100MJ shielding, but still. Pretty cost-effective wingmen, I'd imagine.

Are you not listing M1s on purpose? I would add:
  • M1:
    • Raptor (hangar that fits 65 (!) fighters)
    • J (hangar that fits 50 fighters)
  • M3:
    • Susanowa Prototype (fast and small profile)
    • Tenjin (decent storage and good weapon number/generator)
    • Enhanced Kea (huge storage, perfect for stealing equipment)
  • M6:
    • Marauder (can equip PBCs in its side turrets)

I've listed them by my general playstyle most of players dont use M1's though

Strangely the Xenon I is not listed as an M2+ in the ship browser. It's stats certainly place it in that category. I just repaired the one I boarded and took it for a test drive in Xenon sector 472. It cleared the sector without a scratch, so yeah...M2+

I would add the Geochen (regular or Miner version) from the TP category. Beefed up with a few engine tunings and rudder optimizations, it's the perfect ship for taxi and transport missions, and it can defend itself pretty well with good shielding and ammo-depdendent EBC's.
