For now when you have para and chrome, no need more and can forgot abaut others ships...
The "magical Trio" that most pilots have or should at least have in their hangar are Para (for farming), Chrom and Slate (for Missions) cus at the current point they are top tier ships and even the MT nerf (that caused a huge riot) couldn´t change this.
If you should not have access to any of those RDX ships for whatever reason an "good alternative" is then T-Bird and Hawk of the TC ships and if you really would go for a Parsec then you should go for Domi or Parsec Storm.
The issue with all those Hybrid ships and stuff is that currently 1 item can make them unatractive (look at Scram, Beacon, Taunt for example) cus a lot of reworks, tweaks and stuff turned the items mere useless cus they fail to do their job properly. Was flying in my Wolf yesterday again and we had a bigger group of AI units to fight and only focused on 1 unit our fire (no splash or AoE damage involved) so i placed my beacon and.... it did nothing then sit there and blink but not getting the aggro of the non attacked units.
Nowadays a new ship is "attractive" if it has at least speed and/or prot in the setup. Next to this top wanted items are OS, Mines, Chain and RTurr followed by Rockets (with aim) and Cloud. As long as a ship has not the Bomb, Taunt, Beacon or Scram in theire setup they are more prefered then the other way around.
Basicly is this the reason why i made the suggestion of the >>>
The RDX - Prototype (Ship Idea/Suggestion)<<< 2 years ago. It would on one side remove the "need of SSG to always create new Event ships that may have a crap setup" while on the other remove the "need of any other events that give new ships with a fixed setup". It always is a double edged sword but aside from maybe fullfill your urge of "completing" everything and maybe have every ship in the hangar i bet that at least 90% of all ships aren´t used at all or if at best once a year
