I dont know, I've always liked the look of the Split Dragon. I love the look of Split ships. Its either the dragon or a terran cap, those look great too. Not too great with the weapons tho I'm afraid

Currently using a Tyr for my flagship, but not flying it at the moment, i am looking for Pandora crates in Pirate sectors to up the speed for it and turning, so at the moment i am flying a maccana( Humble merchant start got everything i wanted from the terrans and now doing the main plot) with 9 fighters and 1 scout (1 is a spitfyre that i love flying)

I fly an overtuned Hyperion Vanguard, which I have creatively named "Personal Hyperion Vanguard". It's up to 229m/s and 8.8rpm, which is 9 speed crates and 12 turning crates. I tried to use the fighter docks for protection, but, due to the Turbo Boost, at the speeds I was travelling they'd usually explode upon undocking, so now I've got Blastclaw Prototypes in there because I'm a cargo whore. Obviously I'm using 8 CIGs, 4 HEPTs and 6 PACs. I've stuck with the HV because I love the speed, and there's not a ship I can't beat in it.
I did recently board a Megalodon though, so after a bit of a play with that my tastes may change.

@JackKiller2266: have you tried using EJ's find wares script? to be honest with the number of sectors they can spawn and how far off the ecliptic they can spawn Pandora Crates may as well be a needle in a hay stack. you can use it and still remain unmodified if that is a problem, just save before using it, load the script via the script editor, note down the sector and coords and then reload to a point before you activated.
@Seygantte: ive always favored the ISR over CiG on my Hypes... especially considering its close enough to a fighter in terms of speed and with the personal one being overtuned its even more so. the bullet speed and firerate i just find helps when trying to hit the more agile fighters.

I always use missiles to take out fast ships while flying an M6. Hurricanes for M5/M4 does the job extremely well. I have yet to find a missile I like for shooting at M3s though but even in a slow RPM ship its not difficult to hit most M3s with the main battery (imo).
Even though the Panther has been nerfed in AP, I still used it as the flagship. With the fighters its still good enough to kill nearly anything. With some M8 backup its unstoppable.

It was a close call between the ISR and CIG, but I did the maths and the CIG has a better damage/energy ratio which makes taking down capitals quicker, and I'm agile enough to not need the weapon energy drain that the ISR causes. It doesn't affect my fighter combat a lot, since 1 burst with 8 CIGs will K.O M4 and M5s, and leave M3s almost dead in space to be either picked off by my turrets or a small missile.

For awhile I was using the Argon Griffon Sentinel. Its a M7, with good shielding and a hanger. Kind-of makes the M7C seem weak when compared.

its because the Argon Griffon Sentinel while an M7C , it is still an M7 battle frigate it just has some hangers for fighter support, its kinda like a very small Cerberus, and if you notice most M7C's cant equip True awesome Flak Guns (CFA, FAA and every thing else that is a good flak gun (FBL's IMO are not flak guns), that an all of the Current M7C's in the game do not go over 1GJ of shields

end of the day, if you want a truly Amazing M7 Carrier then there is only 1 ship in the running and thats the Split Panther, IBL's up front, Flak all over, and 20 fighters... with that kind of firepower under its hood as well as its sheilding it could take on a lot of destroyers let alone other Frigates.

@martimus Do you not find the Xenon I rather slow, travelling at 50m/s?
@JackKiller2266 I know what you mean, really the Argon Griffon Sentinel should be a M7C. Although it has much better stats apart from the hanger size. It kind-of covers both areas being a M7C and a M7. I usually have 9 x Eclipses docked on it: which normally do quite a bit of damage with the M7.
