    Well now i hate you too[emoji13]. Good buy you guys got if your doing bounty hunting or missions that require bounty hunting. That ship is so quick and maneuverable compared to our vultures it just pisses me off.

    In pure combat a vulture still beats the DBX, though. The DBX is simply a better all-rounder(trading, smuggling, exploring etc), while the Vulture is the better combat ship. The Vulture is tankier and packs more heat (2 Large HP beats 1L and 2M).

    Where the DBX is very good at is doing long range jumps, hitting its targets and then bugging out.

    Don't agree on that TBH.
    Being as that I own one and have had many battles against the DBX. The DBX still wins hands down with the multi cannon.
    Vulture has only 2 large hardpoints and 4 Utility points, where as DBX has 1X large hard point and 2 X Medium hard points and 4 Utility points.
    I have on numerous occasions been in battles with a DBX and ended loosing thruster's or power plants due to the pure fact that a DBX can maneuver better than the Vulture. Even with 3x shield boosters the vulture is a sitting duck.

    I don't agree at all. For what is essentially a flying tank, the Vulture is a very maneuverable ship. Unless you're trying to fit hull plates, which you shouldn't as they just weigh you down and your shields do all the tanking anyway. You might get hit more, but your high capacity shields means it doesn't matter.

    In 1v1, a properly fitted Vulture will always beat a properly fitted DBX. The DBX just can't stay in the fight as long as the Vulture can. With the Vulture you can confidently take on Pythons and sometimes even Anacondas. I wouldn't get close to those in a DBX.

    If you feel like a sitting duck in a Vulture then either you're weighing it down too much or you're not maneuvering properly.

    Man, there was a mission that would allow me to go directly to Knight Rank and I didn't take it. I can kick myself now. :<
