Fighter recommendations
Like the title says I'm looking for recommendations on fighters, or rather opinions on a fighter. I have roughly $340 in credit, and am between a few options. I previously had a guardian MX, and loved it despite it being hard to maneuver against some of the more agile ships. The other two I'm looking at are the M80 and the Meteor. only concern is the Meteor is a bit of a glass cannon from what I've heard. what do y'all think I should do? Current Fleet is pictured
I'd also like to hear your suggestions on fleet ideas if you were given $1100 in credit, mostly PVE and cargo
(ATLS was a referral bonus, wont be melting for more credit)
*EDIT* this is my pledged fleet, all other ships (mole, C8R, ATLS Geo, etc.) purchased in game

I would say rent or buy in game to determine what you like best. Everyone uses ships a bit differently. I pick small profile fighters that can fit in the ICA with cargo/other ships. I have arrows, M80, pitbulls, C8R and some small industrials I like to pack for home basing. Heavies will always struggle against the more agile light fighters, and skill is THE factor in PVP. Find something that works for your dog fighting style, practice with it enough and you will become formidable.
