The Best Fighters in X4 - X4 Foundations
Having played a ton of X4, I have experimented with dozens of designs. In pursuit of the most optimal choice, I spent countless hours on my research. I believe I can finally present my best choices in terms of the "Best Fighters" in X4. In addition, they will also be presented with the "Best Equipment" setup as well.
I will also add that I experimented with the atrocious and boring game start, "The Young Gun". So, I have an idea of progression from ship to ship, and being at the lowest of the low, helping me select the best choices overall.
I must advise you that this is a spoiler. Proceed if you wish to spoil the thrill of self-discovery.

Pulsar included for its category as a 6-gun fighter (squishy and don't truly recommend). Pulsar plays the role of Chimera before Split Vendetta DLC.
On a similar note, Eclipse would play the role of Shih before Tides of Avarice DLC.
