Are S class ships the best?

[msy]

I have encountered several S class ships that I can buy but my B class is superior in all departments. I have far more storage slots than S ships I have encountered. A couple have had more tech slots but I have seen that in A, B and C class ships. So what is the incentive to change to an S ship, I don't see it right now.

In any case S-Class these are the best
Exotics have in all values very good values
Explorer are the best in warp range
Fighters have the best damage
Cargo ships have the best values for shields
Shuttle are so rather the average in all a little increased values
but if you build your ship as S-Class with S-Class modules they are all kind of great.
I would still prefer S-class exotics in all areas high basic values.
I also just take a ship that I like from the design build that and use that for a while until I want something new again.
Can also export any time one of my ships again with the savegame editor because I do not have the 6 places already flown everything except shuttle I do not like so from the design would have there but now also an A-class that I might upgrade times.

My current ship looks quite a bit like a Viper from Battlestar Galactica with a black and tan coloration, I love it. I found many other cool-looking ships but none come close to me enjoying flying in that, and even at B-class it beat out a few S-class ships I tried due to the modules. With the ability to upgrade ships to S-class and the fact that the modules you install make more of a difference than the various base stats, I say pick for looks.

Seriously this is a challenge in and of itself, I want a ship that looks great to me. See one then buy it instantly, if it's a C-class wait and see if an A or S comes around. If you see no more of that ship then you might have to suck up the nanites cost and upgrade it from C to S. If you eventually tire of it then scrap it for modules (you can sell for nanites) and possibly inventory slot modules.

necro notwithstanding... generally it's best to simply post a new thread.

S class ships have stat increases over other classes, but for all practical purposes, you can buff up any A or B class ship with S class mods and it will function perfectly well for anything a ship has to do.

the significant difference with S class ships is that their max inventory is 48/21 as opposed to A class 40/14 and less for the other classes. increase inventory with SA through scrapping.

i enjoy taking tiny ugly shuttles with terrible stats, buffing them to 48/21 with a full rack of S class mods... these tiny shuttles have as much or more inventory than huge bulky haulers, 2K LY HD range and destroy waves of pirates in QS missions.

so much for stat advantage :)

Lovely ship! I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't go for the fancy looking spaceships lol.
