It's got no turrets other than the main ones, though I think it's mostly complete.

Might be an ED Related Bias, but my money's on none of those listed above, but the Ameratsu.

Before you leave this thread after voting, please take note of these questions:

1. I'de think the Colossus would be the most dangerous against fighters. It was packed with all sorts of AAA Turrets.

2. Ameratsu FTW. Where the Sathanas would have the advantage /usually/ with its group of BF Reds, Ameratsu's BBlues and BFBlue has them outnumbered if it can bring all its main cannons to bear. Plus. Sathanas never fires all four BF Reds at once ive noticed...

3. Ameratsu again. It can prey on large ships as well as small ones, and its pretty damn awesome looking to boot >>

4. See above.

Sath usually fires all four BFReds at the Phoenicia, at least when I play.

It's a difficulty thing.
If the Sath isn't firing all four, no other ship will fire more than 3 turrets at any one target.

Fan-made juggs really shouldn't be a part of this poll. I could table any big warship with instakill wtfbbqpwn beams and say it was the best.

Then it'd just be a Colly vs Sath thread...

Or just a Sath thread.

Rather, power of the juggernaut should not be taken into account. It's arbitrary. I can arm an elysium with some capable of penetrating a Gargant in one shot. It's just numbers.

Instead, we should vote on which one looks the best.

Yeah. Or which one is the best tool for storytelling.

They're all fan made jugs but for the Colly and Sath. Extremely good fans but fans nonetheless. Boring poll if you just have two ships to choose from, and that's not what this poll is about. Keep in mind how realistic a ship is but don't let it rule out the majority of ships just cause you could put whatever you want in them.

Hmmm...

Reading this thread brings to light that the Wiki needs some maintainace. I couldn't find an article on the Ameratsu anywhere in the User-Made Ship database.

I don't think it's been used in any substantial way in anything yet.

Really, d'you think?

It's 'poll'.

My point was that if the poll is 'best combatant' then fan-made juggs have no place. If the poll is 'best storytelling tool' (which it should be; juggs are essentially giant props) then they should be debated on their merits in that regard.

We need size categories too. Icanus is..like 26 km or something? How can you compare it to the Colossuss?

There is no comparison.
Not referring to size or prowess. I just LOVE the ship more. . .

...Sathanas never fires all four BF Reds at once ive noticed...

I tried arming ALL SATH turrets with BFReds...It destroyed Colly in like eight seconds; it probably fired all available broadside weaponry it could in one time (the Sath was parallel to Colly).
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

The number of beams the Sath fires is tied to difficulty.
