So what is your favorite fighter in Conflict Freespace? Note that I added the GTB Athena to this poll as well, because it IMO, it's more equal of a heavy assault fighter than a true bomber.

So, my vote goes out to the Athena :cool:

Herc, it can carry the prometheus and banshee and is armored.  If the Athena could carry the prom, then it would be #1

Apollo, just for the design, not its performance (although it's a good all-around fighter)

Whoops. I definitely just voted for Ulysses but I meant Hercules. Yeah firepower. Damn Greek names, they're all the same.
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.

I love all the fighters pretty much equally, but you add the Athena...

The Athena is my favorite for one simple reason: best gun configuration. Ever. All four shots on target every time you hit.

Herc. Just think about it - Quad gun array...

I love to shoot Basilisks down with the Herc.

Screw the MK2 version. Less guns = MK2?!

On the other hand I like the Valkyrie too.

Which consumes much power. I prefer the Prometheus.

I don't really have a fav. I choose according to mission requirements. But i've usually used the hercules if possible due to its many guns, so it gets my vote.

Herc. If you push it far enough, it can compete with any high-performance fighter out there :)

I have to say, the Herc was my favorite in the beginning of FS2... (untill the erinies came along at least)...
