The ships of CF

no i think u have gotten the wrong idea, cf was designed to be 100% ballanced, any VHF can beat any other, with good enough pilots. there are basically 3 classes of VHF's

1.agile VHF, such as predator and the like, these ships are incredibly agile, almost as if ur flying a fighter or heavy fighter, and with 9000ish hull, there very good

2.heavy VHF, such as saracen, saber, or shroud or the like, what they lack in agility they make up for in the 1k-3k extra hull

3.HEAVY HEAVY VHF, these are most of the coaly ships, and such, these ships are massive, and feel like trains, there still VHF's but not so good for pvp because of there lack of agility

here are some ships i like alot

shroud, this is by far the most overused ship in cf, but with good reason, this ship dominates, has an improved agility over all the other ships in this class, and uber hull

predator, this ship is small agil and can mount a turret, kinda a waist though, its rear firing only

???"its sold in enyo, not the base at end of the TL, its further away, sweet ship looks like a bullet with wings:), this is my fav ship i love it :))))

It's true, while the ship with the most potential is the Coalition Kossac, all of the VHFs in CF have the ability to defeat any other ship in the game. OP masterfully balanced the ships and leaves ship choice up to personal liking rather than technological necessity. Find a VHF you like and use it. You'll not only love the ship, but how it performs too

(Keep in mind though that for the time being the Kossac and Lagg are banned due to the fact that parts of their hulls are invulnerable to damage)

The best looking ship I think is the Saracen, looks like a blade.

BTW is there a Bretonian VHF?

The Bretonian VHF is called "Champion" and it is available for roughly 4 mill in Oasis. I never flew it myself, but it looks like a crab and is just as ugly as the regular Bretonian HF (cant remember the name)

And the Saracen is a very good ship, for PVP and NPC hunts. It has an armor rating of 10200, and is every bit as agile as the Shroud. The Karak is also good, with an armor rating of 9800, and a design thats pretty tricky to hit in pvp, unless you spam/use missiles.

Well compared m8, but do u really wanna talk about
heavy heavy very heavy fighters
?
btw, i noticed that there r more kinds of "agility"
for example, Predator is very agil, i dont know about any vhf which is turning faster. When i changed 2 Sai experienced its turning slower, BUT the control is more directly, it changes the direction faster.
Anyway atm my favourite ship is the Horizon, looks cool, flys cool, sound cool and has lovely states [9] [9] [9]

men why i allways die then

bad pilote

DONT use the Lagg, it's bugged, just as the Kossac and your account WILL be deleted if you're caught. Unless you got caught ingame by a very reasonable SP

Absolutely false about the account deletion. If I seem to recall correctly, it can be if you refuse to sell the Kossac or Lagg. And to this day, no one's account has been deleted for this.

Reasonable SP? We all are, but I suspect some of you dont like it when we enforce the rules to the letter. As for rule enforcement, we Server Police enforce them as they are written or as Op tells us to do.

nono, I didnt mean that any other SP would delete on sight or anything, but OP said he would delete any char he finds with a lagg/kossac and it might not have been to serious, but it still shows that you seriously should not buy any of them

It makes me sad though that two ships so fine in quality would be the ones to be bugged. Their stats are good and all-around make great choices. If only it could have been the devilray and kamov or something, lol

I think there's slight confusion. If I'm not mistaken the red star is a Russian symbol, whereas the coalition has a purple, star-like emblem with a dragon and sword. The storyline suggests that the coalition is still composed of several of the former Earth nations, but the prominent Soviet theme would be their assumed dominance in the faction over other member nations (all that aside though, I think the Coalie ships would be eyecandy with red stars too... it's just that this would take a long time to do and probably require a char wipe :o).

(Btw, there's an emblem that needs to be changed. Gorlowka carrier has the Confederate logo on it painted near the bow... the ship is a Wing Commander 4 carrier I think and you should get rid of that symbol so that people don't notice its non-FL origins :P)

The big carrier is wing commander?

I thought it looked like the carriers from Homeworld 2.

If you look at it (underneith near the front if I remember correctly), there's a compass rose emblem within a circle. It's a rescaled version of the TCS Vesuvius I think. I could be wrong though

Hey all,

Just a bit of info. Reskinning a ship would not require a character wipe, as skinning info is stored directly in the ship's CMP and MAT files. So, no worries there, even if the ships all turn out to be purple with green polka dots in the next version (though I REALLY hope that doesn't happen).

Have fun, and good luck,
ArchKaine

the symbol for the coalition is a sword with a dragon

only ships build by the russian part of the coalition did use a red star (not sure about the chinese ships atm)

but like the alliance the coalition was created by many countries
