Goteki 45

[XpanDrome2097]

Flint Fandango, I agree every word of your post, because after hours and hours of playing I've totally changed my opinion about G45 in Wip3out: awesome ship!

Stats are smoke and mirror, the handling of this ship is fantastic and in combination with the look and the possibility of hyperthrust it´s simply incommensurable!

This is absolutely true.
In Wip3out the hyper-thrust is very useful (I want it again in one of the next games - finally, after the good news of yesterday, I can write "next game" about WipEout - !), perfect for a ship like Goteki45: slow but not too slow (), great handling and good thrust, excellent shield.
After hours and hours of playing I'm sure that Goteki45 is not average: don't forget that a "3" stat in Wip3out is a medium/good stat, and this can be compared as an "8" stat in Pulse/HD: in fact, Auricom has all on 3/5 in Wip3out, Mirage (the actual team that has the old-way Auricom style, all feels good without any sacrifice in every point) has all on 8/10 in Pulse/HD.
G45 has 2 stats at "3": therefore, is well balanced .
The most underrated and uncomprendehended ship of the game.

In these days I've started to play Piranha, another underrated ship by myself: very fast, more than Assegai and Auricom that have the same top speed, easy to handle.
Average accelleration and weak shield makes it very challenging, I love it!
