Rakshasa. I think it's very cool looking, even if it's not that powerful.

That's because its subsystem armour is crap. :p

The Deimos also looks a bit like a huge chunk of metal.

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
They should rightfully be hollowed-out chunks of metal. There's a difference.

Wait what?

Ooooh now I see.
But technically seeing as we don't know what the Shivan ships are made of, they are not all huge, hollowed out, chunks of metal.

Deimos - End of discussion as far as i'm concerned for the canon ships, however the BP GTVA ships all rock esp the destroyers

And the Orions picking up the lead, DEimos has it in his sights as he closes the gap between.

SSD Lucifers a distant third as Moloch. Hecate and Typhon vie for fourth. I'd say this is a close race but right now it's only a two-horse ship race!

whaa? Deimos is no box man, wait for someone to upgrade a little more that model and you'll see.
Also, I'm sorry I wasn't able to find any concept art about it either :S

It still has no character in FS2...

That's hardly the ship's fault.

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
Actually I don't think the Orion is that cool-looking, per se. That's not to say that it's look isn't good, just that it's not 'awesome'.

The Hecate, or the Aeolus, or some of the Vasudan/Shivan ships, IMO, look 'cooler'

Re: What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?
I would think it'd get at least a few more votes.  I was toying with it myself, since it takes the "brooding insect" idea of the Demon and takes it one step further.  I've always thought of it as a massive, bloated, pregnant spider sort of thing...kind of a mecha-Shelob. :p
