    Default Ranking the craft

    So, maybe it's a little early for this, but how would everyone rank the craft so far. Is Piranha still going to be the top tier machine, or is another team moving up the ranks.

    Which team do you think will dominate the leaderboards?

    I'm gonna make a bold statement here by predicting that AG-SYSTEMS will dominate the Tables at Phantom speeds. Yes, AG-SYSTEMS.

    Interesting prediction, Habib. Suppose we'll see.

    Care to back that up with a reason for your bold claim?

    With how much acceleration is weighted I'm actually shocked most people aren't picking Goteki 45 as the potential "ruler of all ships"! o_o'

    Hmmm, I only played with Piranha last night (only got around 3 hours to play) looks like I need to play with some other craft.

    Good point. Thrust and Handling matter the most, but I'd like to think that a craft's overall performance is much, much, much too lenient towards those two attributes since Fusion.

    I was playing with ColdRem earlier and his acceleration was so getting on my nerves. Especially on the tight tracks lol. AG-system does seem like a nice craft for TT.

    I am using Goteki, I have had troubles on the reverse tracks on Phantom because I did not know them, but I've played the forwards on Single Race with Elite AI and since that AI really pushes you to the max well AFAIK I'm at the top for these tracks with G45.
    The acceleration of Goteki is almost instantaneous, the only times you will slow down is because of a bomb, rockets in a sharp turn or missile in a sharp turn. You have to get used to the handling though, but once you are there's no more need for those panels on the sides of the tracks.

    Mike, I'm concerned that you may lack sufficient self-confidence.

    I'm using Goteki. I love Goteki and the moment I saw it, I knew it'd be my most used team. What a craft, ive been destroying newbies online in my yellow wondercraft.

    Icaras gives me a fuzzy feeling too, the speed is phenomenal.

    It might just be the Wipeout 3 nostalgia of course. But those are definitely my favourites.

    Not a bad thing to be. Hares are "ass-heavy" as well. Thats why they excel in tight turns.

    ag-sys and piranha were my fav's back then, yet assegai seems still a bit imba.

    I've been knocking out TT and Speed Laps for gold no problem with my buddy Qirex!

    You guys won't beleive this, but I have taken to flying Triakis online, and it's not just because I'm from Australia! The ship seems to handle better than it used to, and the sheild is of coarse as you would expect excellent.

    I was using AG systems, but I found that everytime I did a barrel roll in phantom (or any other speed class) The low energy warning came on.

    Uhm, the shield on Icaras is way lower than the shield on AG-SYSTEMS...

    Somehow I don't like the way the Qirex feels at all... it feels so slow
    I really like the new Auricom, though, very good for high-action multiplayer.
