100k words :D forget it.
The way I taught my missus was to tell her to do chenghou project in venom with a ship without hitting the sides/scraping etc. She tried every ship and hated them all except for a few (feisar, qirex, ag-system and she actually liked the icaras, but hated its sheild). She ended up settling with an qirex.
A whole year and half later, she found the feisar to be better. I think she'll stick with it until it dissatisfies her and then she'll prolly goto icaras or harimau.
Most players end up switching ships when their personal skill set demands ships that suit their game play more.
I've noticed that pilots who use the analogue tend to steer more towards harimau and pilots who use the dpad tend towards the icaras... I could be wrong. Just something I think I am noticing.
Anyway, my 2 pennies worth. :)

^^ your girl plays WipEout?!! dam I wish mine would, lucky soul :P
Considering my current schedule for the future this idea may not happen for a long time (till the summer holidays) so I'll have to forget it for now.
Thanks for all the feedback though guys, it really helps me get a proper view of this idea and shows you care about the idea in some manner. Thanks a bunch :)

yeah, I consider myself very VERY fortunate to have my girl playing wipeout and enjoying it too. Bakc when I first got into wipeout, the game was alien to all my friends. They even thought me weird because I loved it so much. I often wondered if there were others like me, who loved this game.
Finding wipeoutzone was a blessing, but an even bigger blessing was to have my missus think the game to be really cool, cool enough to ask me if she can try. And she still plays (sometimes when I'm not around to play) :D
Sorry for the offtopic post btw.
Ontopic. I love the Piranha ship. Turns like a boat, but you can bash her about with even more sensitive air brake settings (lower them to 20% or go L1R1) making the piranha even more manageable... I also believe that the piranha keeps her top speed for longer than Icaras due to the piranhas weight lending it more velocity.
This remains to be proven, but I believe it. Yeldar would know if this is true or not though.
When it comes to stuff about ships, Yeldar is your guy.

One of the reason's I hate this patch, it's completely unbalanced the game because they changed ONE aspect of the handling without considering the effects it would have in conjunction with the many hidden stats.
In competitive racing at the top level, certain ships are now more or less completely non-viable. It used to be about the synergy between the pilot, his craft and his skills. Anyone, any ship, you could be the best. Now there is more or less a definite 'best' ship for each track;any other ship is like playing FPS with a handgun and everyone else has a rifle. Sure it won't make a difference to many players, but it's still unbalanced.

Everyone ends up in FEISAR+ eventually. It's overpowered in 2.51 compared to before. AG-Sys HD I believe is also overpowered but most people default to Fury ships these days.
