I am once again requesting your support. I have a Paladin. I am mainly a Solo player but am heavily considering finding a small group to fly with in the very near future.

I know this ship is not a solo ship. And it will never really shine when flown with another player.

How has this ship done since 4.7 and the armor implementation? If I was adamant about staying a solo player forever, I would get rid of it. But with another player, is it worth keeping? Is it the best 2 man ship? Are there any interesting changes that may come up soon that I'm not aware of that makes it worth holding on to? What have been your experiences with it?

On other Gunships, I own a TAC and as a solo player it is a dream! And comparing these two as gunships, It looks like the TAC wins on so many levels. I'm not exactly wanting to compare the two because they seem more different than similar in what they do, despite both being Gunships.

I'm looking at the stats on the M80 and reading what people are saying about it. It seems a whole lot like they have a similar niche. You want to use them as straight line jousters or energy fighters, not dogfighters. From what I can see purely by stats is that:

The Meteor has a higher top SCM/Nav speed, better handling, better DPS, better boost with more Hydrogen fuel. (It also has a dedicated suit locker and a bathroom)

Looking at the M80 it has much better shields, better armor, more QT fuel, and better/more components.

Is it even right to compare them? Or are they both different flavors of the same thing, so it just comes down to personal preference?

I would really appreciate any first hand advice on these ships.

For the record, I have the Meteor. Is it worth getting both? Or just which ever one I like more?
