My 4 favorite ships from most to least:

1. Erinyes- 8 kaysers right down your throat, gotta love it
2. Mara- thats just a lot of missile space for the speed and maneuverability
3. Myrmidon- for those bombing missions where you need as much speed as you do firepower
4. Pereus- because every once in a while i like to hunt those lumbering assault fighters.

I think the Dragon would win, with the triple-gun and the great maneuverability. ;)

By the way, since we are talking about Shivan fighters, I tested the SF Chimera (the stelth fighter) and it wasn't easy to destroy, but it has a weakness. ;)

Ok take a Poseidon freighter and I will take a Perseus. You have 60 seconds to clear the area! :D

Really, it is possible to fly a freighter just it takes about 40 seconds just to jump out. I even flew a cruiser and never mannaged to jump out! :D

Yeah so there I was, I fought against the Chimeras in my trusted Perseus and they almost kicked ... well you know what I was about to say but then I thought I should try the obsolete Rockeyes, and I just sent Chimeras back to the scrap pile where they came from. Anyway, Venom if you are reading this, the Chimera is a really neat ship.

By the way, did anyone see Mission Impossible 2? Chimera is mentioned there. OK I know it is an OT! :o

Yeh, it seems AI ships are allowed to transcend speed limits when you tell them to jump. Not the same with players. At least, in my inept experience. :D

Nightmare fighter.  Faster, more agile and more (and better guns) than a Dragon.  Made of cardboard and plaster of paris, though.

He did say that he'll fly anything as long as he can blow stuff up :p
Personally, I love the Perseus because you can do just about anything with it. And a question about the Pegasus: is it stealth when you fly it or just when you fly against it?
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Yes Perseus is the ultimate fighter. It has less primary gun points than the Erynies however. In the Perseus you have the primary weapon firepower of a Hercules Mark 2, great agility, speed and maneuverabilty. The Perseus also has a more powerfull reactor than the Erynies. It is a best all arround fighter. :nod: And by the way, Perseus can be loaded with the same ammont of secondary weaponry as the Erynies. Once you learn to handle the Perseus, you won't need a better fighter. ;)
