They handle about the same, wraith is probably heavier but hornet is bigger, 13m vs 17m

they have differnt mass, which appears to effect handling much more than the agility statistic.

The agility statistic is just a devish interpretation, the mass is what the engine uses to calculate agility.

Eh, "agility" isn't ever really calculated. The mass affects your linear acceleration, yes, but the geometry of the ship directly affects its inertia matrix, which in turn affects the turning speed about the three principal axes.

So, er, yeah. The low/medium/high things are obviously not very descriptive, and may not even be correct since I believe Waylon changed the size of the hornet and wraith at some point after the low/medium/high had been determined.

Engines also have an effect on agility as well. Don't forget that ships are less agile now due to the widespread use of the medium/fast charge combo.

I hope hornets become 3m smaller...
