Type Ten Defender !

[Nejtun]

OK so the type 10 is available to buy , it is made by Lakon and is basically a type 9 with lots and lots of weapon slots and utility and bigger engine space and real jump range !! was tricky squeezing 9 weapons on it lol , but my cutter pilot was kind enough to lend me some parts
and his Fighter bay.
and shields

ooooh that thing looks awesome! How much does it cost?

 

[Nejtun]

125 million for the ship so around 1 billion to kit it out properly if you dont have any other bits to scavange/in stock,
gun placement is key and power/heat management is a bit tricky , but I can run 7 lasers and 2 multi cannons without much issue , add in the NPC fighter pilot and you are pretty unstopppable , easily comparable to the Corvette for guns and maneuverability and the cutter for hul strength and utility

Wow... what a ship! I'll be getting back into Elite next year so it'll ggive me something to shoot for. Definitely sounds like an upgrade from the Anaconda?

Anaconda is a beast no doubt , but yes , this out guns and out survives it. does not out handle it. BUT , type 9 with spoilers ??? no question out cools the Anaconda all day still think the Federal Corvette is the shit when it comes to best combat ship in the game though and if you are a cargo hauling bitch then the cutter is second to none
