What do you think is the best frame and wing for racing?

I normally use my Avenger.

It's heavy enough to make it harder to push out but still agile enough
to maintain control at greater speeds.

Only my opinion thou, I don't claim it to be the best racing frame but I like it!;)

This is interesting because in theory one would think that a Talon with the most agile wing would be the best.

But somehow I got hooked into testing other frame wing combinations at my beginners level. And I am undecided at the moment.

An arrow or a scorpion frame with class 2 wings and class 5 engines is great for the races.

Whichever ship is quickest at overcoming inertial drift.

And that would be a...?

a ship with high agility and decent wings for lateral thrust. A good engine also helps a bit.

How about some more specific examples, please.

And back to the question of the Talon, isn't that the highest agility?
So a Talon with ....x wing and the biggest engine would be it???

And how does the size of the engine effect overcoming inertial drift? (which is the whole matter in a nutshell as Marvin mentions).

per the charts:

Civ side
Arrow agility 100
Scorpion agility 100

Mil side
Evoch-E agility 105
Evoch-C agility 100

My guess is the Mil's would win hands down as the Civ's don't have the assembly for the ten (10) engine the Mil's have.

Just my thought.
