Oh, this thread don't appears in the thread list, I've found it with Google....'so strange !
Goteki45 was my favourite ship in pure and it also represents my first choice at the moment...it don't have a great top speed, the handling is decent but its shield is the best....I like the original look of Goteki45 in Wip3out.
Ok, it's very slow but if I need some speed, I choose AG-System (very fast, for me it's the best ship in W3O)...and if I want handling, I choose Assegai (of course, the SE edition, but am the only one that hate the lateral driving cabinet of the W3O Assegai? It looks 'so nasty!), but I like Goteki45 in Wip3out (for me SE is too much better than the original WO3), I don't understand the reason, but I like it .
