The Thoth really suffers when it comes to survivability, though.

You might not survive, but you haven't really lived until you've tasted the hot Thoth.

Yesterday I learned that if you're flying a Loki, you can just completely ignore an Aeshma's guns.

From my experience,if you're flying anything smaller than a cruiser,you can just completely ignore Aeshma's guns.

[Droid803]

The Aeshma has guns? It can hurt cruisers because of swarm missiles, not guns.

Ares, because despite playing the game on and off for 16 years I'm still terrible at it and it's insane missile capacity covers up my deficiencies at long and medium range with the Trebuchet and Tornado.  2*Maxim 4*Kayser is pretty devastating up close too.

In FS2, I generally switch to the Erinyes, because it looks badass.

[Nohiki]

FS 1, definitely the Herc.

FS2, that's a tough one. I think I'm actually going say Serapis. There's nothing it can't do, true space superiority fighter.

WoD - Ray MkIII E oh god I can finally dogfight yesmoarplz =D

[Phantom Hoover]

There's nothing it can't do

Currently:
Erinyes-7
Ares-3
Serapis-2
Hercules-2
Pegasus-1
Loki-1
Valkrye-1
Ulysses-1
Thoth-1
Perseus-1

It appears that sleek,8-gun assault fighter is the best ship in the game.

Non-voted ships are:Apollo,Myrmidon,Herc II,Horus,Seth,Anubis,Tauret and Ptah.

[Colonol Dekker]

Fs1 herc ,  fs2 Erinyes.


Because skulls. And sexy.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

Serapis-1

Actually there's 2 votes for the Serapis, Nohiki's and mine.

I've been mulling this over for a while on and off. I really don't have a strong opinion on this, but it's probably the Erinyes for me as well. The look, the firepower, the fact it feels more like a medium fighter than a heavy one (I generally favour the medium option in most games, never mind just space combat ones). And the way it gets introduced to you. I generally like to shoot things only when I'm at least reasonably confident of hitting them, so the power drain of the guns isn't so much of a drawback for me as it might be for others who would like to shoot at any time they think they might have a chance of landing a hit. While sometimes loading up on missiles gets the job done and can be essential with large numbers of bombers, in terms of enjoyment, I much prefer to be shooting things down with my guns to firing off missiles, and the Erinyes facilitates that well with those guns. More firepower from the guns means less frustration from regenerating shields and more pretty explosions from the things I shoot at.

The Serapis is really fun to zip around in, but it's made of paper.

[Phantom Hoover]

Well this is a load of ****, I vote Perseus.
