GrayForceUser Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 So I was talking with my friends recently and we came into the discussion of our ships and who would come out on top in a dog fight. I, a Bounty Hunter, argued that from a lore perspective the D5-Mantis would rip apart the Fury and Phantom like they were fresh slaves in the Rancor pit. My Sith Sorcerer friend agreed. My Sith Assassin friend did not (We don't have a IA yet). My reason was that the Mantis was constructed for the sole purpose to fight. No it literally says on it's info page "....is built to fight". However it does lack the luxury and style that Fury sports and the sleek design and stealth abilities of the Phantom. Now for all intents and purposes Bioware forces all of our ships to do the same damage, however this is strictly a game mechanic. So in the end I came to the conclusion that; Mantis: Best at space combatPhantom: Best at recon and stealth (And a @#$% of a lot prettier then mine)Fury: A mixture of the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duradel Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Mantis would destroy the fury, seeing as a fury ship is little more than a more powerful than usual empire starfighter The phantom, on the other hand, would destroy you in 1on1 You can't track it because it's immune to radar sensors, and it's faster than you If both ships met in open space, it would run circles around you until you lost sight of it, then tear you apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalanox Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The Mantis would be easy to destroy. Just shoot the toothpicks holding the engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCerberus Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The Fury is an interceptor. It's fast and has kick, but may not be as good in extended combat like the BH ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
