Chieftain/Crusader/Challenger

[Bishop-Six]

Which one do you prefer?

What do you do with them?

Krait :)

[Bishop-Six]

How much cost Krait?

the chieftain is ok, the crusader is meh but not a bad choice if u want to use small fighters and the challenger is a gunship wannabe but without the fighter bay and the boring fed rank grind

[Bishop-Six]

So Chieftain=good average
Challenger=Big Shooter

The difference is just more firepower?

[Chro]

personally i prefer the chieftain since its faster and has a better manouverability

[Bishop-Six]

Thats a good point!

Thx Cmdr o7

Your choice between the Challenger and the Chief. The Crusader ranks up with one of the worst ships put into game. It was meant to be a SLF stepping stone but it's a step backwards.

Challenger (everything modded and A graded) has become my main ship for low/medium skill NPC fighting (using my vette for the tougher ones), with a collector limpet to salvage slain enemy goodies, a SRV Bay to do planetary missions and lots of modded shield boosters to survive multi npc fights more easily ... much more manouverability/survivability than the python i've used for this before - only downside is its med/low jumprange and the pretty high fuel consumption on FSD Jumps (smal fuel tank i guess, so fuelscoop is advisable). Mine has roughly 24LJ Jumprange if i remember correctly. Its a very good multipurpose ship (except exploring) for its price and beats the chieftain and the crusader at almost everything.
