This probably has been done before but here we go again. So, whats your guys' favorite ship in the game, capship or fighter. Mine is the Hatshepsut, it has a really cool design and it works much better in combat than the Hecate does. When it jumps in, it looks like a sword of death coming in to blast whatever's out there.
-
The Orion - masses of firepower and still decades older than her more modern peers. She's the best capship of FS1 and is still difficult to beat for flexibility and firepower in the sequel. Hooray for GTA engineering!
Sid.

I'd have to go for the orion too. I just love that ship :)
Oh. To stop this turning into a debate about which ships people like to fly anyone mentioning a weapons loadout will be dipped in a latrine and pelted with stale rock cakes. :D
-
SA-43 Hammerhead :nod:
Or failing that, my F/A-44 Tomcat
-
Hercules.
i can 0wn anyone 1v1 if i'm in the original herc
-
I gotta go with the Ravana, the tech description mentions it as a ship to destroy smaller prey, I certainly don't feel that way; its a straightout assault weapon with 2 lreds and 2 sreds forward. :D
-
Favorite ship? Gotta be the Naga. Maybe the Raynor. Perhaps the Andropov.
And if I can't pic ships I did work on, anything by Venom.
-
SD Demon or GTF Apollo; I can't decide.
-
Athena. The only way it could be 1337er would be if it manuevered more like a fighter, or held bombs. :D
Capship wise, the Deimos or the Hoover. Although my favorite ship is the Athena. :nod:
-
Perseus, hands down
-

Not Loki?
-
Yes, definitley the Perseus. Loki just sucks.
I also like the Lucifer and the Deimos.
-
if it's FS1 or FS2 only, the Valkyrie, fighterwise. The fenris of the orion, capship wise ( for the capship I mean only by design, the valk I choose for gameplay ).
-
Orion, Horus, Apollo, Athena, Valkyr - in this sequence.
Things I like to fly: Horus, Dragon, Valkyr, Hercules ,Pegasus

i forgot about the Athena! The athena is also one of my favorite ships, the only side effect, like you said, was the fact that it couldn't carry very good weapons. like, it couldn't carry the Prometheus in FS1 (i've never played Athena in FS2)... only like the Avenger and Disruptor, which kinda sucked. also it couldn't carry hornets or interceptors (!?). i liked the way the gun mounts were close together, that was cool.

Athena / Seth / Scarab
No others.

Yeah, it's best gun was the Avenger. But it did carry Interceptors (not hornets though, IIRC> No skin off my back really) but the thing was, it was supposed to be a light bomber, but it was more of a wild weasel/interceptor due to it's speed and non-existant bomb bays (not even tsunami). And it wasn't in FS2, replaced by the Zeus :doubt:
-
Dreadnought Corvette.
What?
-
Caps - Lucifer
SemiCaps - Iceni
Bomber - Ursa
Fighter - Myrmidon
Interceptor - Valkyrie.
-
The Iceni is a marvelous little ship. Nice armor, flexable weapons, and cool looks.
The Valk is by far the best fighter, for some reason i really love the way it looks.
-
Perseus for fighter.
Deimos for cap ship.
-
I agree with Falcon X, but the best has to be the Horus.
-
Cap ship- GTD Hecate
Fighter- GTF Erynis
-
Fighter: Nahema- Tons of firepower, armour, and speed is better than most interceptors. Its got everything
Capship: Orion- Its the classic, gotta love it

...which in my opinion sucked. simply because it was released in ST
-
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my favorite fighter, the Serapis. Its sleek, has a cool looking texture, and I think it rocks in combat. Well, as you can guess, I like the new Vasudan Ships.

I never liked the Lucifer. It's got a loud bark but no bite, and it's helpless against a Hades with beams if you turn its invulnerability off. The Demon is the best Shivan destroyer.
-
Valk and Perseus all the way. I luv speed, and I could probably own most FS1 people in a Valk with Interceptors (I've killed Hercs are on a first run :p )
-
i think the hermes looks extremely vicious.
-
My favourite is the Colossus itself, it has good looking, a nice ship even its interior and exterior, and which is important, its massive. My favourite fighters are the Perseus, Ulysses, Loki and sometimes the Myrmidon. In FS1, the Lucifer, it has a really 'threatening looking' and as for the fighters, the Valkyrie.
I never liked the Apollo, has no much use later when the Herc and the Valkyrie appear.
