i finally got a M6, it is a Springblossom and he is doing ST near the Paranid and Argon border, and that bring me to 54 ships in total (12 are Adv. Sat's.)

I guess Springblossom's are good at sector trading, due to the high speed and good cargo-bay space. How would you say it compares to a TS at sector trading?

since i got it and had it ST within 2 hours it jumped my Paranid rank up from Unholy Nomand To Priest Confidante, so they work good for me and comparing it to another ST i have in a split sector it is about twice as good, while it has less cargo space then a TS it makes it up with its immense speed that it has (About 3X more speed than most TS's, and i think it left me a message saying for 100 runs he had already made me 10 mil. - cost of fully armed/tuned spring 7 mil (ish) = 3mil in profitsssss, the only down side is the cost of the Spring other than that they make good ST's in my game

I guess the speed with the shield also means you wont lose it too easily either. I wonder why Ego gave it such high speed?

To fit with the lore of the Aldrin sectors. They had to manage in huge sectors without jump tech, so all their ships are fast. I think this is even mentioned in the description for the Spitfyre.

Heavily modified from older Terran fighter designs, the Spitfyre appears to perform the same role as its predecessors.

Typical for all Aldrin ship designs, which had to operate in space with no jumpgates or trans-orbital accelerators, the designers had to put all their resources and efforts into getting as much power from its engines as humanly possible, to reduce the travel time between planets and stations. When the gate to Aldrin was made operational and this ship appeared to a wide audience, every government was shocked by how easily this ship surpassed their own M3 designs.

Oh I see, although there is no other M6 that fast (so the Springblossom does stick out)... I always thought that the Aldrin sector was too big.

thats why the springblossom is so fast because of Aldrin lore no Accelerators or Gates you needed speed to get to the other planets and Stations in different sectors, since you needed speed to reach the things before you turned old lol

Quick question: How do i set fighters up to protect my UT's? I cant seem to figure out how to do it.

The fighter needs Fight Command Software Mk1, and then it's just Commands->Combat->Protect. Remember that if the UT is going to be jumping, then the fighter will need to be able to as well or it'll get left behind.

so your best bet would to not have fighters protect your UT's, they will get there own fighter drones to protect them also
