Having decided in SP to do a pretty thorough job of exploring the Coalition systems, I was pleasantly surprised to find a half dozen Level 10 turrets hidden away in one of the systems. My elation at having all the risks and excitement of the exploration so richly rewarded was quickly tempered by the realization that--although I have now tried out several different VHFs and freighters, and looked at dozens of them in many ship merchants' showrooms--I have yet to encounter a ship on which to moun…

Thanks for the quick and useful intel, guys! I should feel foolish about the Black Eagle, denne, since I flew one for about half of the campaign and didn't notice or forgot about it. I didn't come across such high-level turrets back then, and traded in the ship before hitting Coalition space in the campaign, anyway. It's good to know, though, since I may fly one again one day. I haven't tried out any trains yet, but that's good info about the Soulforge, too, and I'll keep it in mind. So far the…

Thanks, Ajay, I'll keep it in mind, and BTW I should apologize to you.

I should have remembered that detail for when I finally found a suitable turret. Thanks for the recommendation, denne. I tried out the Saracen a while ago, since it seems to be a very popular ship. It was indeed impressive, and after trying out some of the others, I may go back to it. Unless I…

You may be right, and I'm considering it. At least I'm unlikely to get lost. As for "weak", however, you might be surprised at how much competence I still lack at combat: I get killed a lot. I still need to master the finer points of engine killing and the like; my progress so far in CF is much more due to luck (and dogged persistence) than to skill. I may indeed try MP, though, sooner rather than later. If I'm going to be vaporized, it may as well be among appreciative onlookers. I'll be sure …
