I’m sure many will ask… “The best ship for what purpose?” There are so many awesome ships I love like the Moa/Eagle/Gila/Onyx ships, the Tengu, Naga, Rokh, Phoenix, Widow, etc. For frigates I choose the Condor and Merlin as well as their variations. I seem to like ships with cool hulls and have multiple versions for different purposes. I think the Astero and Stratios look amazing as well. I really enjoy flying underrated ships that require unique fits and great pilots to make them better than most expect them to be. A good example would be the Eagle. Great for range, but also can get a huge shield tank, spec for blasters or railguns, T2 resists, great agility for it’s size and so much more. So yeah lol, that’s my answer. Probably Moa/Eagle/Gila/Onyx, but I am starting to like the Phoenix more and more. ---

> [@Chad\_Frostpacker](#): > > The Vargur now has less HP than T1 Fitted Tempest > > Why-How did that happen? T2 battleship specialised in active repairs has less buffer but massively higher repairs than a general T1 ship. What’s wrong with that? And how it happened: it’s because buffer Marauders were found to be problematic and got a buffer nerf. ---

The new weapon and the new ship are going to be the biggest costs for that fit in the future, but neither is taken into account in that picture because the prices haven’t updated yet. ---

Best case right now costs 8b to build the new BC. Have they not figured out how to farm the items necessary to trade for the BPO? ---

Those items come from the mercenary dens right? I think it can take some days before they have produced enough resources to satisfy the massive day one demand for those resources. ---

Yes. There are 2 to choose from for the trade. One is from the Mercenary Den, I think the other is from running sites. ---
