Restarted from scratch (best terran starter ship)

[Darkom]

As the title said i restarted from scratch, even the boron dlc isnt satisfeing for me (the ships not the plot). And started terran one again, first thing i did is visited all the terran zones exept the core that i cant access yest and the 3 PIO ones. Then i hauled my bleep to the circle highway and i picked up that paranid destroyer in Faulty Logic VII, and sold it to the Paranid, after i upgraded the Rapier that i got by selling the starter ship to get that destroyer, i still have 11.7m left and was wondering what the best ship to start the terran plot with, tried the gladius but after i bought it figured out that thing only goes 180m max so that thing is a no go.

Katana

I would just go straight for the M ship Katana imo. Go light on the upgrades if you want to save some money, say combat Mk2 engines. Mk2 proton barrage is the best, but you could go for pulse laser mk2 or proton barrage mk1 to against save some money. Whatever you have on the katana will be more than enough to kill what's in the terran plots. The ship is fast, but be warned that it kind of skates on ice when boosting or leaving travel drive. It's a pretty good ship that I find is useful for a long time.

Go get a free Katana in PIO territory by making a freelancer katana bail.

I also recommend Katana's. They are very fast and reliable.

Thanks for the fast responds, Wanted to go with the jian, 12500 more question, what for the 2 turrets ontop, i know beam sucks for damage but they allways hit, so what to pick bold or pulse? And why did ego put the Syn and Ashgard in the shipyard if u cant buy them?

[ArcticISAF]

Both bolt and pulse work fine. Pulse is a little better, more accurate against fighters, bolt does 50% more damage so works a bit better against bigger targets. I picked bolt as it's mostly your main guns doing the work. Syn and Asgard, you can't buy directly but you can buy the blueprints for it, make your own in your own shipyard. My guess is to make it a little harder to get, make it more of a long term goal rather than just pumping them out of their shipyards (and there's some 'alternative' ways of acquiring them, you might guess at what that entails).

tried that couple of times in previous games, but that didnt work that well ^^
