Looks that kill

Has anyone bought their ship just from its looks along? I've been playing for about 3 weeks and I just can't get past the exposed canopy on the ships, now I'm of a mind if there is going to be a firefight why would I want to stick my neck out, so to speak, and get it chopped off, maybe that won't happen but it sure does feel like it

There are a lot of sweet looking ships in E-D, and some ugly ones too. :roll:

The forward canopies give you a great peripheral view, which is a huge benefit in combat. Especially if you have a VR headset. The more you can see beside, above, and below you in a combat situation, the more effective you're going to be.

One word.

Shields.

That magic nonsense barrier that keeps angry bullets away.

Being able to look up while tracking a target is quite nice, too.

Also: because watching bullets, lasers, other ships, your friends' SRVs bounce off your canopy is HILARIOUS.
