There is no such thing as extremely good ship. Everyone has its pros and cons =P
Do you think T.Ryu is weak? Try attacking Herc or Tyr with T.Ryu then... P class is great? Use Strafez or Herc against it... etc etc. The perfect stack doesn`t exist =0
Ross...apart from the fact you are saying you dont know how to play your post isnt clear on what u r stuck on?
What exactly are you stuck on?
And like Hybrid says...read the manual...it will give you the basics on what to do....on the main screen you will also see a link for `Missions` If you follow that you will also get a slightly clearer idea on what to do.
