Well, What is your favorite capship?
Mine is the Rakshasa. Four Sred cannons!!!
-
NTF Iceni - Sexy, deadly. A great combo :D
-
Deimos.

No need to get excited about SReds.
Now a Ravana, on the other hand...
-
Probably the Iceni. It's awesome.
-
Lilith, it can take out just about anything under juggernaut size, given that it's close to its target.
-
GTFf Saphah. If it had a fighterbay, it'd be the ultimate capship. The Golgotha is really nice, as is the Odin, but the Saphah has to win it on sheer kick-ass-ness... If we're talking vanilla FS, then the Deimos followed by the Orion.
For Vasudans, the Sobek. For Shivans, the Lucy (high-poly, high-res version obviously).
-
Rakshasa
-
It looks cool and threatning. The Deimos.
-
Deimos!
-
Does the GTD Hades count? Technically it's not a juggernaut, just a super-destroyer ;)
And why? It's huge, cool looking, and it also has an fighter assembly plant ;)
-
Has to be the sobek... Beautifull eligant but totaly leathal!
-
Lucifer tied with Deimos.
-
Aeolus. Look upon its armament, ye fighterpilots, and despair.
-
What's with people making Polling threads and not making them voteable Polls? This is, like, the 10th time in the last few weeks.
Also: Sobek. :D
-
Deimos - looks like it could kick some ass, and does so, too! :D
-
Am I only one who really loves the Moloch? :(
It's so sexy and fear inspiring...
-
[size=999999]Galatea[/size]
The fact that I'm the only one who favors the Orion is SAD.
-
Fear inspiring? The Moloch? :lol:
Tie between the Ravana and the Hatshepsut.
-
Orion is my favourite Destroyer and Terran ship, but the Lilith just owns for firepower.

Too bad you're not still with HFH. You'd change your vote to Peleus, now that it's been redone. ;)
If we're talking vanilla, I have to go with the Iceni. It'd be perfect if it had a fighterbay.
-
GVD Typhon (sp?)
-
You spelled it correctly. :) The destroyer is Typhon (the monster) as opposed to Typhoon (storm). Tie-fawn is correct, tie-foon is not.
-
Deimos (http://fs2source.warpcore.org/wmcscreenies/lm/deimosrocks.png), at least right now.
-
Deimos is leading, while the Iceni is second and the Sobek third.
Last is the Hatsephut with like half a person voting for it.
There are 8 cruisers, 3 corvettes, and 8 destroyer types in the game. I can not fit 19 obtions into 10 maximum.
-
I'm an orion man too.
Not only is it elegant but it brings firepower straight to the table.

No, you're not. ;)
I've loved (not literally, you perverts) the orion since I watched dad play FS1. It's an awesome looking ship, and when I was 9 i tried to make it out of legos :D
And I kept getting it mixed up with the Lucifer :nervous:
-
1st; Sobek
2nd; Typhon
Mainly because: This image (http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/us/images/mods/snipes/devestation.jpg)

Just when though I couldn't like the Deimos more... :p
And that's my new desktop background :D

Prettty liiights....
-
Diemos is a next gen ship, it's sleak and has lots of HP for it's size.
-
fenris is to deimos as telegram is to cell phone
The most powerful non destroyer/juggernaught in the game, and the most favorite ship in the game.
I didn't know the orion was so popular... The orion is tied with the sobek for second!
-

I made that ages ago. Back in 2001. I could probably do alot better now...
That was Truespace.
's why the Deimos looks round.

Umm... the Rakshasa has only 3 SReds.
-
had four last time I checked...
-
Deimos Rocks!!!
-
check the tables
-
Orion is good. Sleek design.
Pity it only has 1 main beam cannon.
-
Orion? Sleek? One Beam Cannon?
We looking at the same ship?
That said, mine would be a tie between the Hippocrates and the Deimos. I like the designs of both. :D
-
Well, sleek i'l agree. In it's own kinda way it is kinda sleek. But the thing has 3 BGreens as well as a compliment of smaller beams (2 terslahses IIRC)
-
I like the idea of the Hippocrates but hate its execution. The Deimos is a stellar design for Terran standards, but no FS2 ship compares with the sleek and deadly grace of the Hatshepsut.
-
If the Anuket was armed, for real..........
-
First: Iceni. It's just one of a kind, to say the least.
Second: Diemos
Third: The Lilith.....it is especially evil if you see it's arms shadow itself, casting an overall evil look that chills one to the bone...
-
The Hippocrates is not a capital ship. Just because it has an anti-capship beam cannon does not mean it is one.
-
Sobek, just because you see more of them...not that more survive (thinks) Damn, Alpha 1 does go through alot of capital ships.
-
Uhhhh, the Hippo doesn't have an Anti-Capital ship beam. Anti-FIGHTER beam. ;)
"Hippo" :lol:
-
$Subsystem: turret01, 1, 5.0
$Default PBanks: ( "Terran Turret" )
[b]$Subsystem: turret02, 1, 5.0

$Subsystem: turret05, 1, 5.0
$Default PBanks: ( "Terran Turret" )
Nope no anti cap ship beams in there...
DRX: So what qualifies as a capital ship?
-
Anything Cruiser and up.
-
1st: Hatseput
2nd: Ravana
3rd: Hecate
-
The Hippocrates qualifies. It's not a fightercraft and it's not a frieghter or transport.
-
Terran - Deimos
Vasudan - Sobek (looks amazing with SCP Graphics)
Shivan - hmmm..... this one's hard...id have to say Lilith by a shade over the Rakshasa
Edit - The Hippocrates counts as a Medical Transport, cool design though i must admit
-
Originally posted by ngtm1r

But the Hippocrates is a transport. A huge one, yes, one designed to carry wounded or sick passengers, yes, but a transport just the same. It's certainly not intended to see combat.
-
like i said, a medical 'transport'
-
I know, you edited that in before I could get the reply out. :)
-
Does it use transport AI?
-
OK, changed my mind. My new favourite modded ship is the GTD Charlatan. ;)
Also, I forgot to mention Venom's GVD Duat from the OTT mod pack. Doesn't get nearly enough press, that ship...
-
'cause it's fugly. :p
-
Terrans: Aeolus
Vasudans: Hatshepsut
Shivans: Rakshasa
-

No, it uses Cruiser AI, so you can't order it to dock with anything. But that's a moot point, since ship AI only has to do with nav, and the only time you'd ever see a Hippocrates manuvering it would be following waypoints. I think a cargo container with engines can do that. As for weapons, god only knows why the thing has a beam on it. It's completely wrong of a (primarily) civilian ship.
From the FS2 Techroom Description
Terrans developed the GTM Hippocrates early in the post-war Reconstruction period. With the outbreak of the NTF insurgency, the GTVA has once again called the Hippocrates into active military service. Its on-board facilities provide state-of-the-art medical care to thousands of patients. Hippocrates also help transport refugees out of contested systems into the safety of Allied-controlled regions. The unusual design of the Hippocrates enables its crew to isolate sections of the ship quickly in the event of quarantine or hull breach.
Not a warship, no matter what AI it has.

bull crap. it's designed that way because they copied the medical frigate from Star Wars.
-
Of course they did. That's why it's even called a medical frigate.

Terran: I'm going to have to go with the good ol' Orion, followed closely by the Deimos
Vasudan: The Sobek, but the Hatshepsut is a close second
Shivan: I'm going to put in a vote for the Demon here. Admit it; the first time you saw one, you thought it was scary as hell. :D My second here is the Moloch; I can't understand why so many people rail on it; it can kick ass and looks deadly. The Rakshasa? Please; the thing looks like a log with spikes on both ends, and it's easy cannon fodder. :p
-
I'm going to edit my standings :p
Terran: Orion followed by Deimos
Vasudan: Typhon followed by Sobek
Shivan: Demon followed by Rakshasha
-
Terran: Deimos followed by Aeolus.
Vasudan: Hatshepsut followed by Sobek.
Shivan: Lilith.
-
Deimos, Orion, and Sobek seem to be favorites. Like ten and a half people chose Deimos as the best. If it is a tie, or if it is "best of the race" i put it as half a person. There are about 43 marks on my little "scorekeeper" card. Twenty-two and a half marks are for the Deimos, Orion, and Sobek alone!
-
Yeah, people here always seem to take a 'single best' thread and make it into 'best from each species'... tis quite annoying...

While they may appear similar at first glance, they realy arent that much the same at all.

:o Yes, I vote for the Orion too. Just forget that BS I said about that Hades earlier on. Long live the GTA! :nod:
-
:yes:
-
I would have to say Deimos, and Aeolus as second. I like the Rakshasa, even tho its a spikey log. The Molech would be a vote from me.. except i hate them: Every time i find one, their flack finds me, and then i find space firsthand.. so..
And for the Vasudans: Sobek are good, Mentu's are cool too. I named my car "Subek" after sobek, cauze it just... has a feel of one. Looks like one tho it dont.. at all. Heh.

My two centz.

A penny for your thoughts? :D

You....named.....your....car.
You named your car.... after a misspelt Egyptian fertility god (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/s/sobek.html).
-
why spell it different?
-
Maybe he thought Sobek would sound dumb, whereas 'Subek' would clearly be regarded as all as being the peak of human civillisation and culture?
-
:lol:
Well, I guess it sort of makes sense. Fancy car = more chicas = 'fertility' ;7
-
Don't ask me why, but I decided to try out Keynote's pie graph function, and I got this:
[image removed - see my next post]
-
Using the same color with different-sized borders for different ships is bad.
If I read that correctly, though, the Deimos is winning. :D
-
I kinda like the Fenris...well, 14 Year War Fenris.
-
you like the sucky version of the fenris?
-
Here is the new and improved graph, this time it can be read more easily:

:wtf:
Calm down, dude.
As for my opinion: Hades rocks, hands down. Especially with Bob's reskin. Really especially with LuciferBeams in the main turrets.
End of discussion :p

im just trying to amuse some people

We will not be silenced!
I should start a Moloch fanclub. Muahahaha...
I wonder if I could get the Moloch model, make it weally small and make the SF Mini-Moloch. :nervous:
-
I always had a softspot for the Demon: Looks cool and is deadly.
-
I like the moloch too, especialy the moloch backwards.

Err, no. I finished the Kelpie. :p The Losna is finished, too. I'm working on another one model, now.

oh, uh, right. :nervous: :D

Guys, you are letting this thread get OT!
-
That'd be a first!

I'm quite a fan of the Orion and Demon (although it does remind me of a snail).
