[edit] Overview

This ship is a high speed armed freighter.

• Beyond the starting ships as The Birdman Republic you are better of to scan with Neutronic Fuel Tankers or Deth Specula Class Frigates bolstered with sensor exotics.
• Within the The Privateer Bands fleet you might use is as ord-storage (40,000). Alternatively you can try to raise its experience by autocapture trap.
• With its huge ord storage and low price you can use it as defense unit with 5 ord throwing PDs. Its small power banks and restrictions in heavy weapons load make photon torpedos recommendable.

[edit] Morgath's Bird guide From May 2005

Skyfire is best freighter because it is fastest, has a good cargo capacity and one pod bay and it is your only ship with good scanners. If you need more capacity tow a White Falcon with it. Besides being your number one freighter it is your scanning ship. You can also use this to tow and reord your Brights that are laying mines in safe area. Do not put any armour, shields or weapons to it.
