Title: If you could command ANY type/class of ship in the FS series...
Post by: Polpolion on November 15, 2005, 03:42:00 pm
...what would it be.

I would either have a Perseus fighter or a Deimos corvette.

Lucifer.  Invulnerability is a wonderful thing, as long as I don't piss off someone powerful before a subspace jump.

If it was the base FS series, it would definately be a GVD Hasethput (god why can't I spell?).

If I can choose including Inferno, the SOCv Phobos Adv!

edit: fixed

Yup. Inferno too. And actually ANY costum ships, also.



But please include the ship type. ex: GTD Hecate
                                                  GVCv Sobek
                                                           
(fg-frigate; Cv-corvette; Ca-carrier; Dn-dreadnought;T-transport; Fr-freighter; FI-intecepter )

Scarab. Then Nepthys.

Though, I'd like to fly an Aeshma, really. I don't want to fly a capship... that seems... wrong.

EDIT: Ooh other camps too?

MT - Chymera. Definately.
TVWP - PVF Hotep





If you absolutely must have us choose a capship, it's be a Sobek, and then a Typhon.

The Orion Block 3 (my Orion table-hack) GTD Soyakaze.

Runner-ups were the Tribal-class frigate (my Iceni table hack) GTFf  Vandal (no fightercraft disqualification) and the Androgeos-class juggernaut AJ Minos (don't speak the langauge disqualification).

For fighters, definitely the Perseus. I love how fast the thing is and that it still has a decent missile compliment. Who needs countermeasures when you can evade anything thrown at you?

As for capships, I'd like to command either an Aeolus (every fighter pilot out there would curse my name) or a Deimos, since those things rule.

That reminds me of X2:The Threat...
There you can buy an Armada... Destroyers, Corvettes, Fighters...
You can fly everything.... And you can dock your Fighters/Bombers in an bigger ship...
You can name your ships and you can switch to a ship that is docked into your capship...

Hey... Maybe something like this will be possible with Scripting :)

if keypressed("Y") then set-player-ship("Beta 3")...
Or something like this ;)

I'd like a Pegasus, Erinyes, and a Triton.
Pegasus = Some fast little car, I dunno what I could put...
Erinyes = BMW 7 (in blue. that deep dark blue.. yes...)
GTFR Triton to haul the Erinyes around so I dont wreck it.

I would have a GTD Boreas. I love that ship. Period. My location in my profile even states what it would be called. As far as fighters/bombers go, I'll take an Athena-class bomber or Aurora-class interceptor any day.

A fleet of kamikaze cargo containers.

One second, they're sitting there docilely. The next, the entire squadron's down and the Cruiser is in flames.




Or maybe the NTF Iceni.

Edit: Oh, and if I did the cargo container thing? They'd all have ninja costumes. What better way to lure everyone in to get a closer look... :drevil:

have i ever mentioned my little pirate rant before?

in every game that has pirate the pirates seem to have better hardware than the military. if the outlaws controll everything then they are essentially the government with their own rules and whatnot, that would technically make the good guys (police, military, do gooder mercs) the pirates and therefor the bad guys. the guys with the most firepower are often the soverign nation and the ones who fall behind are supposed to get the label terrorist, pirate, and whatnot. people got it all bass akwards.

While Chairman Mao once stated that political power grows from the barrel of a gun, morality doesn't. A bunch of pirates are still a bunch of pirates when they're in charge. And just because the pirates are capable of overthrowing the government doesn't necessarily mean they will, either. Becoming the government is a lot of work. Better just to shoot random people without purpose.

there are many variations of the norse language, reigonal dialects, and major splits each using slightly different spelling, so if you think a norse word is spelled wrong, its probibly not. i liked the way the languages looked before the characters were all latinized. ancient languages are cool.

Cruiser: Aeolus+BGreen+a little more armor=Complete and total Ownage
Corvette:  Deimos of course.  Actually, once its done, my next project, the GTCV Achilles.
Frigate: 3 Guesses, and it begins and ends with the same letter.
Destroyer: GTD Galatea, Rebuilt to kick some ass.  Alternatively Typhon or GTD Sirona.
UBERship of OMFG We're gonna die! : The Big C, GTVA Colossus.  Rip on it all you want, It could pwn all you little bastards.  Until you brought in a damn Sathanas.  Even then if it could fully utilize its fighter\bomber complement it could still probably pwn a couple Sathani before having to retreat for major repairs.

As Bomber...The Ursa. Sure, it looks like one big trashcan, but it gets the job done.

As support vessel (never plan on flying the cap ships): Either a Deimos, or an Aeolus. Beam cannons and FLAK. and small.

the Collossus COULD be good too, but it is so -ing large that you would have a hard time to protect it.

Hmm....forgot to add fighters last time around...why not?

Freespace 2:
I'd love to fly the Myrmidon any day when it comes to fighters. 6 primary banks to give it the same power punch as a herc, and the ability to carry Helioses against capital vessels.

Bombers: The Ursa. Slow, steady, reliable - and most importantly, comes with massive bomb bays filled with pure Helios pwnage.

Cruisers: A Leviathan. An Aeolus is significantly effective against most ships, but it doesnt last very long. A Leviathan on the other hand, can't dish out as much, but is very capable in taking the damage and surviving far, far longer than an Aeolus would.

Corvettes: The Iceni - nothing less. Although I dont really like teh shape, I prefer the aura of mystery that surrounds this tiny ship, and the secrets it may hold about the Shivan Enigma. Definate choice over the Deimos in my book.

Destroyers: GTG Zephrys. No way in hell your getting me to command a bit-fat-target-for-sathanas-or-ravana-cannons-destroyer. I'd rather just take a miner and sit somewhere safe, far from enemy lines, thank you.

From Inferno:

Fighters: Perseus Adv.

Cruisers: The Ticonderaga!

Corvettes: No preference...

Destroyers: The GTD Raynor. Because it is the very essence, in every sense of the word, of l337n3ss. Either that, or the fearsome Lindos.

Super-caps: The Nemesis.

yeah, but you tend to get escorts, and be far, far away from enemy lines. There's nothing more boring than being in a miner. yet at the same time, their's nothing further away from enemy front lines. Besides, if i *were* in a miner and decided to run away from enemy ships, I wouldn't be charged for AWOLing, since I was just protecting the GTVA's assets and important resource gathering units. ;)

Yeah. But if I run away, I still wont be charged for AWOL ;)
 
Oh - and every single gas miner we see had a DUMB pilot that didn't know the Buerecratic process, or of how orders are processed behind the scenes.

Remember - in logistics and the service side, it's not the commanders that have the REAL power even if they issue the orders, it's through the clerks and army of support staff that issue, process and then send out the orders. Having a clerk as a contact - especially one belonging to a very ignorant service side commander - can do wonders ;)

Oh - and every single gas miner we see had a DUMB pilot that didn't know the Buerecratic process, or of how orders are processed behind the scenes.

Remember - in logistics and the service side, it's not the commanders that have the REAL power even if they issue the orders, it's through the clerks and army of support staff that issue, process and then send out the orders. Having a clerk as a contact - especially one belonging to a very ignorant service side commander - can do wonders ;)
Fine, your desertion has caused the complete collapse of the front lines allowing your gas miner to be ambushed by the comparatively well supplied hostile fleet while the nodes leading out of the system are blockaded. Can your flimsy gas miner escape that?

No, but when I kamikaze into an enemy ship, I can at least kamikaze with style ;)
