[Lord Felix]

For a long time I thought the Cruiser was the best ship. In my current game I started with a Cruiser and upgraded it to great awesomeness. But now, in sector 1028, I finally found the best ship: the Sigorn Hauler. In that sector I found one for sale that was way ahead of my Cruiser in every single category.

Here are the numbers:

Speed 300 (lightning, fastest possible, the most important number for a ship) (with all my bonuses, not needing the Solar Sail)

Shield 128964

Hull + Armor 53195

Supplies 92530 (!)

Crew 384

Cargo 760 (!)

plus the ship comes with preinstalled Trade Beacon and Warp Point Detector. So it's perfect for a quick run to sector 10,000. In contrast, the Cruiser has no preinstalled devices.

Has anybody ever had a ship more potent than that?

Incidentally, inheriting components and bonuses from the Cruiser this ship has Targetting 805 and three very strong weapons that can each, firing one at a time, one-shot just about everything.
