    1vs1 with a speeder, its a 50/50 chance that I can win, I can still rotate my turret to target them by swinging my whole boat in the opposite direction. One hit from my ec can take out 1/3 of the speeders hp.

    Tripple bandage is a risky build, you'll do fine with two bandages and two shields

    Yeap, it works perfectly with my dual snipers, in a prolonged firefight I can wear out the enemy team and take a lot of punishment.

    About how much do those three bandages heal you each time?

    What about mk7 where most longtime players are sitting now? And thanks for confirming the devs don’t want a buff for defender and will continue to ignore the community.

    And regarding the 40% traveled more than speeders, is because unfortunately you have many suicidal speeders match that stat to shooter or enforcers and you will have a very big difference

    Can we get this data according to leagues
    i.e representation of each boat ( mk5-7)
    In each league.
    And amount of dmg dealt per boat would be welcome too.

    A good Defender can be terrifying! I have had one who sailed towards us own his own, we could not kill him quickly, but he easily took down 2 of us and still went on.

    I have also seen Defenders kill mk5 Speeders with so much ease, that it looked he was steering with his toes and eating crisp while sunbathing amd enjoy some ice-tea :)

    So, hang in there! And try to build of a stock of other weapons and gear, so if you do decide to swap boats, you will be ready.

    Ooh! I like this "stat of the day" concept!

    Any chance you can share stats about weapon hit/shot % rates (i.e. accuracy)?

    I’ve seen my fair share of defenders ride off into the unfriends on a suicide march....and Enforcers....and Shooters....and Fixers.

    Good, that's the goal. The Cursed Speeder must die.

    More popular that all the other ships put together! The most logical reason, is because it needs a huge nerf.

    People love trying new things. I bet everyone who unlocked the other ships, tried them out ASAP. Then they went straight back to Shooter, because more guns = huge advantage.

    I think you're exaggerating, or being dramatic, or something...

    Every ship is unique, and brings different contributions to the table. So if your only criteria is damage, shooter tends to do well, but they also die fast when exposed.

    I think shooter is most popular for two main reasons:
    - many people seek weapon variety over play style variety
    - most people upgrade shooter first early on, exposing them to more cool weapons, so they're more likely to keep playing shooter than go upgrade and build up a weaker ship.

    I think it would help if new players had equal access/choice among all 5 ships.

    Nope, not really. Shooter is quite a mid performer in all the stat categories. It's just popular that's all.

    I'm curious, if you look at just mk4, 5, and 6 (where most players spend their time), is that still true?

    Yes. We follow all the marks always even though I just happened to quote mk6 and mk7 numbers earlier.

    It would be much better if all the mk1 ships were unlocked as soon as you start playing, and you got to choose what ship to start with. More diversity, more fun.
