What's your favorite ship and why?

[RavenFellBlade]

I assume you are referring to these small multi-launch missiles with good tracking?
In that case - yes, these are great to use, but they have an extremely limited damage potential.
So, you have to choose either more damage or guaranteed hits
Not really, actually. You can simply equip ammo restock consumables. And you can take a bunch of these with you. Though you will need to advance your engineering skills to use them.

Considering I've been very focused on the engineering tree, I am kind of embarrassed that I forgot about that. It looks like I will need to upgrade the consumables tree to military grade stuffs.
