Uh... no need for multiple polls, dude... debates like this are years old... try a search, see the results. (Just don't bump.)

What do you set each Santhanas's hull integrity to? 1%? 1000000 x 1% = 10000 hitpoints. 10000 hitpoints wouldn't last long against double Harpoons or Trebuchets fired repeatedly.

Speaking of humiliation/surprise, I can't wait to download the FS1-FS2 conversion and fire at obsolete Apollos and Anubises with Kaysers.

Apollo pilot (seeing ML-16-like Kayser shots): "Heh heh. Even though he has a fancy newfangled ship he still is using ML-16s!"
*blows up the idiot's wingman with a few shots*
Enemy pilot: "Those aren't ML-16s!"
Me (in an Ares): Eat **** and die! Ha ha ha!
*rams double Trebuchets up his ass*

ok, GE's Port is literally what it says... unless you make a mission, you can't use the fs2 ships and weapons, against fs1 ships in the port missions it IS an exact(closely) copy of FS1...

As a former offender in my new days:

You need to not swear as excessively. Never thought I'd give this speach, but I hate being out done.

As a general rule of thumb, if it stands out to me, then cutback. Children have and do read these boards, as do Gamespy (our Hosts) and excessive swearing only makes us look bad and offends people. If it's with the mood, sure, whatever, but thread titles, overuse, etc. should be cut down. Thank you.

Now to answer your question; The Infamous. :p


(honestly, I don't really know how to answer that. Zylonbane is eternal. He is the Enigma of the FS2 community.. he's.. Zylonbane.



And he eats n00bs for breakfast :D

Gotta be the Aten - the others are actually supposed to be pathetically weak. I generally change its weapons loadouts whenever I use it in FRED so that I can at least pretend it's something of a challenge.

*reads a string of posts about the "terrors" of ZylonBane*

Interesting. I never realised that a bit of sarcasm could have such an effect on people. :rolleyes:

When I'm mad I enjoy putting as many Sathani in a mission as possible, flying far away, then destroying them simultaneously with the debug codes.

Then watching the fireworks.... Better than blowing up Atens...:D
Title: Hmm...
Post by: Star Dragon on March 11, 2003, 10:49:01 pm
If you mean FS2 core ships then the Fenris/Leviathan (Come on they are the same freakin ship!) double waste of a ship table space ;)

    Now my favorite thing to take down in a fighter (Meaning mine)  is a borg cube. But only in Getter1. No one else can handle it... Somethings up though... It almost seems like they have been hiding lately. Must be my imagination (or humongus ego!) :lol:

Crap. I bet there's no timeout on this poll. Which means we'll be plagued by votebumping forevermore.

Post by: CP5670 on March 12, 2003, 01:04:06 am
The Aten actually wouldn't be that bad as an anti-fighter ship if its turrets did not have paper armor on them.

It is probably the Fenris for me; the thing is even much weaker than the Aten and can be destroyed with twenty seconds of maxim pounding from afar.

Ahh, but get up close and use your Tempests! Takes only 10 seconds.

what about the lilith, thats got to be the worst thing for its shivan captain, got a LRed, can't even take out a fighter:rolleyes:
Title: Damn the polls, full speed ahead!
Post by: Tiara on March 12, 2003, 01:55:27 pm
The Lilith is a ship that comes in packs of at least 4 or 5. They were never designed to fight one on one with anything :p
Title: Damn the polls, full speed ahead!
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on March 12, 2003, 02:00:07 pm
One on one with any Terran cruiser and it wins. Can do much damage to a Deimos, too, depending on Angle of approach.

Title: Damn the polls, full speed ahead!
Post by: Knight Templar on March 12, 2003, 05:11:41 pm
Lilith? :wtf: How can you say that thing is bad?

In FS1 it eats fighters for lunch and is practically invulnerable. In FS2 it is just as good, but now has an aaaf and an LRed...

If anything you meant the Cain, I hope.
Title: Damn the polls, full speed ahead!
Post by: karajorma on March 13, 2003, 04:16:07 am
It's certainly a lot harder than the Cain so it seems an odd choice.

For my 'Other' I'd have to say the 'GTT Elysium' is pretty poor: one turret and once you get up behind the Elysium can't touch you.

A Lilith would be a bad choice for a humiliation kill in a fighter (I was not thinking of bombers when I wrote this poll) because it has 75000 hitpoints! A single fighter can't do 75000 hitpoints worth of damage unless you have a LOT of patience.
Title: Damn the polls, full speed ahead!
Post by: Hippo on March 13, 2003, 01:55:20 pm
ok, i've saind it once before, we don't judge things with hitpoints. thats pokemon, we judge from experience. we can't relate hitpoints to anything
