I would love to be able to fly a Thunderbolt or a Nial in the game.. how i can chose them? In some missions the game allows to do a ship sellection but i allways end up with the Aurora...
Help:
Using the editor you can make missions where you can have all flyable spacecraft available...

go Asimov frieghter!! its large and it can kamikaze any cap ship.  lol jk.  Thunderbolt fighter.. its fast and maneuverable.  Not as maneuverable as the interceptors in fs2 but eh close enough.

Now that you mention the Asimov.
It's definately the nicest civil ship currently in TBP.

If you downloaded the single mission pack, go to the mission simulator and choose single mission. IIRC there are some missions which let you fly Thunderbolts and Narn Frazis.

I didn't know what missions were in that mission pack until I downloaded it today.  Had I known I would've tried to upgrade those to be more compatible with Base 3.1.  Oops.

My favs r Shadow battlecrab & Vorlons cruiser. First thing is the shadows seem to come from nowhere when they leave you hear a mental scream, now for the vorlons they have a certain look to them that states hey you **** with me and your a deadman.

Why dont you get off your encounter suited butt and do something.........Sheridan to Kosh

[Kosh]

I've always had a soft spot for Vorlon and Narn built things...... (xcept the T'loth, now that was a f***k'ed up design, IMHO)

[Sparrow]

T´loths are cool, almost not seen in the show and even some starbases seems to be constructed with parts of them..
even there was a narn ship of 900 meters wich was basicaly one wing of the t´loth.


But sinze early Hyperions were in match with T´Lotchs , modern Hyperions are at pair with G`Quans.. i wonder who pointed the diference between Hyperion-Midwinter classes

[IPAndrews]

Speak for yourself. The Narn (or more likely the lazy CGI people) building everything out of Th'nors is a personal pet peeve of mine.

[Fineus]

Heh.. I think you got off light considering Star Treks ship design policy

As for me... I think the White Star is actually pretty darn neat. Those and Starfuries...

[-Norbert-]

Well the thing with reusing parts of decomisioned ships seems to fit the Narn perfelctly.
First they designed and build the T'Loth as fast as possible to have at least some form of military presence in space, which led to a .... not so good ship.
But even when they had better ships, they where still low on material, so why not use the bad ships' hulls to build something more useful out of it?

[Sparrow]

So they can build a heavy super mega destroyer simply gluing eleven smaller T´Loth modules long hehehe

Moderator reaches into deck. Plays thread necro card. Don't try this at home kids.

Now what's your favourite TBP ship and why?

[Woolie Wool]

I thought G'Quan would walk this, but Omega and... surprisingly... Omega-X seem to be very popular. Omega-X is just bonkers.

The Omega-X is just so loony and mad in its concept that it rules. I love it.

As for fighters, I'd pick either the Sentri or the PSI Thunderbolt. All those weirdly shaped Middle Children/First One ships don't do it for me, and the Aurora, Frazi, and Sky Serpent aren't agile enough.

Heh.. I think you got off light considering Star Treks ship design policy

To boldly go where no kitbash has gone before...

Well, this is a tough one.  Even though they are over-powered SOBs, I have to say that the Minbari Nial-fighter is my favorite simply because I LOVE beam weapons, and this ship has rapid-fire beam weaponry.  Second is the Aurora as it's a decent fighter and I generally have an easier time hitting the enemy when piloting one of these then say a Thunderbolt (though the 'bolts look cooler).
