[General Battuta]

All mods, all campaigns, no items, final destination. Give me your favorite individual warship! I'm not talking class here, I want one individual ship. Tell me wwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy! Her command crew? Her plucky resolve? Her dashing good looks? Insuperable beam firepower? The way she just...blows up?

BONUS ROUND: give me your favorite SEXP. Staple **** like is-destroyed-delay is banned. Explain to me in words accessible to a dumb space baby why you like it so much. In related news, I'm proud to announce the birth of my first child, an Aeshma.

EDIT a long time later:

At seven votes each, it's a tie between the Atreus and the Temeraire!

[An4ximandros]

You named your child after the Zoroastrian demon of wrath? I am missing something here I think... 'Tutta, drugs are bad, m'kay?

Favorite ship is the Steele. Eh, charges Sathanas Juggernauts while going down and doesn't afraid of anything.

My love for the sexp is divided between the ship-protect and ship-guardian, both vital in so many ways! But I have love for many sexps, I would like to think I have a sexp harem.

[Rodo]

I take you want particular ship examples, and not ship models right?
Favourite ship: Belisarius, Reason: Love the tone of the commander as he says "negative Vasudan".

Favourite sexp: ship-guardian-threshold, Reason: Makes my work just a little easier.
Second close favourite sexp: play-sound-from-file, Reason: Lets me fu** with the player's mind.

[General Battuta]

That's one vote for a nude and ballistic Admiral Chiwetel Steele, technically qualified as a spacecraft!

You need to go on a picnic with three SEXPs. Please submit a guest list and a menu for the picnic.

yes

[The E]

Fav ship: GTD Temeraire. So big. So welcoming. So home.

Fav sexp: mission-set-nebula. So many scary.

[Lorric]

Favourite ship: Typhon. So beautiful.

Favourite SEXP? Couldn't tell you exactly what it is, but in my own experience the one which lets me end the mission when I choose under whatever conditions I set. I think it's just the End Mission SEXP. It's vital for my branching campaign, especially the mechanic of being able to continue after your death, by cutting the mission short before the failure options pop up. I think I'd be stuck without it. I remember getting that one to work confused even the best FREDders around here for a short while.

Yeah, I've no idea what he means either. Makes me think of BritishShivans and his Ravana gimmick. If you actually gave your child that name, you'd be setting them up to be bullied mercilessly.

[StarSlayer]

The Carthage, she's basically the HMS Warspite of the GTA.


Axem SEXPs

[General Battuta]

Not your favorite ship class, your favorite individual warship.

I will bet you a TC-TRI full of tacos that someone in this thread will get it and explain it, killing the joke. We will divide the joke among ourselves and eat it in sacrament. FRED be praised. May our missions be spared from crashing. May our event editors fail to lag. Eat this, my child; it is the corpse of humor.

Vanilla Carthage or BLUE CARTHAGE FEATURING LOPEZ FEELINGS ACTION

[X3N0-Life-Form]

I was gonna mention that the Belisarius is cool 'cuz it face the Psamtik and doesn't afraid of anything, but something that doesn't afraid of anything has already mentionned.
So I'll have to settle for the Iceni, which just feels like running all the time.

Me's favorite SEXP is either set-object-position, create-weapon or call-ssm-strike. set-object-position combined with waypoints makes a fiiine meal, but weapon create allows you to manually fire stuff like missiles'n'guns, which is pretty neat too. Aside from parental pride, I have taken a sadistic pleasure in using and abusing call-ssm-strike in all sorts of twisted ways.

[An4ximandros]

"Negative Vasudan" sounds like a DJ name/Internet forum handle.

The BP Carthage has so may feels it turned blue.

Ah, that will certainly take some thinking about, I may not be able to answer. Perhaps the Guardian Angel from Wings of Dawn, more for the characters within it than anything else. The Colossus also comes to mind.

Perhaps the joke has something to do with Blue Planet. I don't know. As far as child names go, dropping the m makes Aesha, a fairly nice girl name. In fact, I just googled it's meaning, and it supposedly means "alive and well." I like that.

[General Battuta]

No, it has nothing to do with Blue Planet. Torture is WRONG

[swashmebuckle]

Vassago duh

Favorite SEXP is whatever one enabled me to megabeam Vassago

If you love someone, megabeam them

[Lorric]

Torture is WRONG

Yes. It is. Well, usually. Why do you say that anyway?

[InsaneBaron]

Favorite Friendly Ship: The Custodian from Homesick. Didn't realize how much it meant until the last mission, but, I mean, it's all you have, and you go through a lot with it.

Favorite enemy ship: Tie between the Generation from Transcend (When he comes back: "Hello Omicron") and the good-ol' Lucifer.

[Shivan Hunter]

The Galatea. Only ship in FS to actually make me emotionally invested in its fate. When the Galatea went down, it provoked memories of all the lack of character building done on that ship... all the redshirt pilots coming and going from our squadrons with no dialogue save for wingman personas... and perhaps the most heartwrenching of all, the single line in the debrief about the previously unmentioned Admiral Wolf.

Fav sex pee: script-eval-string

Because WMCoolmon liked do-nothing so much he added a second one!

[redsniper]

Masayaf, so spinning, so spooky, so FA1337.

beam-free-all because everyone forgets to use it.

You're a loose cannon, Shivan Hunter. But you get posts.

beam-free-all because everyone forgets to use it.

It has diminished into the West, and become a checkbox in mission specs. The line of beam-free-all has gone down into memory. Where is the horn that was blowing? Where are the horse and the rider? They have passed like retail briefings in my post history.

[Aesaar]

The GTD Atreus.  It's the face of Admiral Steele in WiH, and is therefore the utimate face of the enemy that has been beating you at every turn. 

And with such a brilliant commander, it can and will drive all before it in a great sweep of blue fire.  Even when sitting at a dock, it casts a large shadow indeed.
