I haven't tried Hawks or Barracudas, sorry. The Kusari battleships sell Dragons, which are better than Crusaders in every respect. Better hull strength, handling, weapon mounts (4x Class 6, 2x Class 5 {IIRC}, Torpedo/Disruptor, Class 7 {?} shield).
From reading posts at Lancersreactor, and on GameFAQs, the Barracuda supposedly handles better than a Dragon, but with a smaller loadout. The Hawk is supposedly just plain sub-par.
If you want to try a light fighter, the Drake is really nice (only 4x Class 6 hardpoints and a Disruptor mount though), although if you're used to flying heavies it may be TOO manueverable.
I took out the battleship. :ph34r: I just unloaded my torpedos into it, it took 7 or 8, I think. Plus cannon shots, o coz. Then just tried to keep my arse in one piece (in a big ugly fish-shaped bus).

Quote:I didn't kill much in that battle, though not for lack of trying. I just couldn't follow the Rheinland fighters as they jinked all over the place.
