TEREUS! Why? Because I'm f***ing love Tereus :D. It's uber cool! Other EA caps are awesome too, but Tereus is the king!

Tereus would actually be in my bottom two.  I'm currently torn between the iconic kickass flagship-NOW IN HTL!, the original Inferno defiinition of beam rape, and the shiny-new-ship-that-no-one's-ever-seen-before.

Edit: Went with the Basileus just for the chance to see a badass-looking destroyer that has never been used anywhere else.

Post by: Rodo on February 22, 2011, 09:08:07 pm
Yes, Tereus is the option.
Title: Re: EA Capital Ship Poll
Post by: PsychoLandlord on February 22, 2011, 10:17:29 pm
Nemesis. Tereus is pretty, Lindos is Dangerous and Beamrape, but the Nemesis is SCARY.

I am physically unable to vote with both the Lindos and Nemesis in the running.

Tereus for me, because i don't like Lindos and because Nemesis is only 1 :)

AAAAAaargh why can't i pick 2??? I've gone for the EAD Basileus for a simple reason, it looks like lugnut from transformers animated  :nod:. Lugnut is awesome so the EAD Basileus  is awesome and it looks bad ass!  :nod:  ;)
Title: Re: EA Capital Ship Poll
Post by: mr.WHO on February 23, 2011, 06:37:46 am
I vote for Tereus, coz I prefer flexible medium, mass produced ships over rare uberships (kida like I like PzkW IV and Stug IV over King Tiger)

I ended up choosing the Nemesis, out of how much I raged when attacking it for the umpteenth time, and how much I raged when defending it for the umpteenth.
The few missions it appears in make it really dear to you...

I love the contrast each mission gives, attacking the Nemesis it seems impossible to do anything to help, defending the Nemesis it seems like it's made of paper.

Except for the two Corvettes.

Unless I'm horrifically mistaken the R1 Darkness was capable of some terrifying Beam Broadsides for it's size, though it appears to be less beam-oriented now. And I don't remember anything about the other EA corvette class.

That's because on INFR1 there wasn't a second class, only the Darkness.

Also, I'm getting curious as to what the Auriga is...considering it has zero votes.

It's a variation on the Orion Mark II.

Nemesis 4 lyfe! Not only does it look cooler, but it can beamrape from multiple angles at once!

I voted once.

I demand more Lindos because...

Hell why not. Though it is pretty much the only ship of its sort in the entire FS community.
Title: Re: EA Capital Ship Poll
Post by: Mongoose on February 24, 2011, 12:47:52 am
Y'know, I wound up voting Nemesis, just 'cause, but the Lindos is one of the most legitimately-original fan-made models this community has ever produced.  Nothing else looks remotely like it, and it's definitely one of Inferno's iconic designs.  I remember being impressed by it back when I first played R1.

(also it may have been because I didn't know any of the other ships off the top of my head and was too lazy to look at the wiki :nervous:)

How did the Lindos suddenly get so many votes? :wtf:

Post by: MatthTheGeek on February 24, 2011, 05:50:28 am
I voted Tereus.

It feels like how a real destroyer should be, just like the Orion and the Raynor. Anti-cap firepower decently spread on the ship, the ability to concentrate a good part of it on a single target, and a large enough fighterbay to cover what your anti-fighter defenses can't.

There's also the GTCv Reyena that's built with a (similar) configuration.

The Darkness is definately up there, especially after seeing the remake. But broadside warp in attacks are just too awesome. Going with EAD Tereus.

Hah, no love (at all) for the poor Auriga.

Post by: mr.WHO on February 24, 2011, 05:22:00 pm
Because what can light carrier do? <launch fighters> It don't have any impresive firepower <launch more fighters>, it looks like Orion on steroids <and launch even more fighters> so it's preatty much well known design despite not released yet <SWARM of fighters  EveRyWeeeRRREEE>, not to mention is shoud be a fleet carier as it's Orion minus guns plus another fighter deck  <that spawn FIIIIIIGTEEERSSS!!!>, it's more or less boring comparing to the rest of capship <This is madness...This is SPAAARTAA and we will fight in shade due to the crazy amount of fighters>.

The Reyena, to my knowledge, has never appeared in a released mission. I'm not even sure the model itself is released. We know the Lindos.

This (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GTCv_Reyena) Reyena? It certainly is released.

I suppose it has some similarity to the Lindos, but the Lindos has many more of its turrets pointing to the front.

I think c914 himself described it as a pocket Lindos at one point.
