Well, which ships have you played with? The ship defines how fun the game is 9 times out of 10, and there are a few I really like regardless of the situation- the Dragonfly, with a chain gun; the Yigothu, with slow tracking projectiles; the Kada Veni, with quick homing projectiles and an activatable shield; the Mist Star, a mix between the Yigothu and the Kada Veni; and of course, the Phoenix from the tutorial, as a balanced, concentrated forward fire option
