Gunship VS Frigate
I couldn't find an actual comparison anywhere on google (strangely enough) so I'm asking here which ship would have the most firepower? Is the gunship a little less but more maneuverable or is it the other way around?

One has an S pad, the other doesn't.

As for maneuverability, well, the Osprey sits in the trash league. Everything else is fair game, you fly them for immersion or looks.

Go on the wharf, fit them with max stuff and look at the values, you should be able to determine what you want to fly yourself. If you end up not liking it, you can always pick another.

Either way, if you don't have much of a choice, just pick something and make it work.

I have two preferences in the "normal" plane: the Peregrine (Gunship/bomber) for my individual "taxi" or the Gorgon I get it for free always taking the PHQ mission in PAR/HOP space.
There are the two "supercharged" Gunships, the Dragon and the Nemesis, both too fast so difficult to stop falling on mines, asteroids etc. The Dragon has more firepower but only one shield!!!

The ships with docks are generally less fit for combat vs multiple targets on their own, mostly due to how the turrets on those ships are aligned.

Ships like the minotaur on the other hand are designed to have no blind spots in their firing arcs, and are generally more maneuverable as well.
