Preparing for the PU Endgame - Ship Selections

[EchoSeven]

Hi,

Just thought I would share my ideas for the endgame. I say this, because of the cross-chassis upgrades, that will allow us to largely consider what we want as final configurations before the launch happens.

Here are my thoughts, feel free to comment, and add your configurations.

SHIP I HAVE EVENTUAL UPGRADE MAIN ROLE

315P Ship only to 350R as Racing
Digital Colonel Package to SuperHornet* / & F7A Upgrade as Escort / Combat
Rear Admiral Package to Carrack* as Exploration
Caterpillar* Package as Transport (Have a love for the Cat!)
Avenger to Herald as Info Runner
Digital Freelancer Package to SuperHornet / & F7A Upgrade as 2nd Escort / Combat?
Digital Pirate Package to Surveyer as Salvage
Starfarer* Tanker as Tanker for Refining / Fuel (Love the idea of not paying for fuel!)

Not changing ships with a * - they will stay locked in!

Yeah, you're going to be able to do whatever you want with that lineup! (You also have a lot of disposable income! Hehe)

I just got kind of obsessed with the idea of tinkering with a ship until I love it. So I am going to keep my total ship count a bit lower. But My final plan is as follows:

350r - racing
Freelancer DUR -> Carrack - Exploration
Constellation Andromeda - Fleet battle/command

In addition to those three I want a dogfighter, but I don't know what kind I want. Avenger, Gladius, or Hornet.

I think my ideal is a Gladius, but maybe I should get something a little tankier and sometimes fly my 350r as an interceptor?

I'm also waiting to see what can be docked on ships like the Idris. Right now, it seems most 1 man fighters can fit according to Devs. But whether that remains true for alien ships and all future ships, not so sure. Definitely examining specs first, but also trying to consider potential "hidden" ramifications of certain ships.
