Because I want something perhaps remotely resembling  balance. The Manticore's speed is offset by its single laser bank and tiny missile capacity.

I love it. Bomb-hunting is mucho-easy if you have target bomb button on your stick.

Ok, onto ships!

FS1/ST:
Valkyrie: 1 Prometheus, 1 Banshee, bank of Phoenix V's

It's not really a death trap once you get used to the fact that with an extra notch or two into your engine department you can stay outta the way of most anything that's particularly dangerous.

FS2:
Perseus: 1 Kayser, 1 SDG(Maxim if compatible), 1 bank of Interceptors, 1 bank of Trebs

Not as fast as the Valk of old, but seemingly more agile and better armed/armored. I like the Kayser because of its power/RoF. The SDG works wonders on ship turrets and subsystems. I don't remember whether or not if it could load the Maxim, if it could, then replace SDG with Maxim(for same reasons, plus the Maxim eats freighters/turrets like no other).

Perseus cannot carry the Maxim.

The Valkyrie is really better than the Perseus, it is faster. Perhaps the Perseus is stronger(I haven't compared their TBL, so I don't know) and has more warhead capacity, but the Valkyrie is somehow truly better.

This makes me an idea: I will attempt to transform the FS1's Valkyrie into FS2. Surely not a great challenge, but who knows it. . .

Already taken care of, just check the FS-Port.
I have my doubts though  - the anti fighter guns of capships call for better shielding even if the fighter's a little bit faster.

Valk's great, but I think it's shields would get it killed in a firefight.

Other than that, it is better in almost every way.
