best thing is when you already have a genji and tracer and someone picks Sombra <| sep |> Trial gear is the absolute best in slot for DPS as well as some healers and Tanks . Vicious Ophidian for Stam DDI . Aether or Moondancer for Magic DDTwilight Remedy or Aether for HealersAlkosh for Tanks <| sep |> But the bigger is better is a bit too true in elite for my liking . I agree , it is a shame that all the effort put into the lesser ships is partially wasted . There ' s no reason to ever use anything but a Cutter for tradingmining , other than just wanting to bust out your T 6 for funsiesnostalgia . You ' ll never use anything other than a Corvette for PvE combat unless you just feel like having fun zipping around in a Courrier with enhanced thrusters . Basically , the earlier ships are only used for very niche purposes or nostalgiamucking about once you have oneall of the Big 3 ships .
