I actually really like the cain/lilith design. Something about it just makes it seem more alien/insect-like. The three arms are pretty much the main feature of it, and other than that it's so simple and meek. But then it starts shooting at you...

Hmm, so many opinions. I'll keep to FS1&2 ships simply cause Ive only played 8 Mods.
I generally find it hard to choose 1 single ship for each class though :(.

Overall, based on design and performance. (and personal preference. duh)

Fighter: (probably) GTF Ulysses
Bomber: GTB Medusa
Cruiser: GTC Aeolus - its flak has been growing on me lately.
Corvette: GTCv Deimos
Destroyer: GTD Orion - I never quite liked the 'brick' like appearence, but it did grow on me a bit. The appearance of an Orion, did bring me alot of pride (being in the GTA and GTVA and all :D)

(Obvious that Im a Terran kinda guy?)

Going to regret naming the Ulysses later, Im no good at choosing a favorite fighter.

As for odd looking ships, I think that the Cannon-ships. However odd (not naming..., GTD Hecate). They looked apart of the GTA/GTVA development line, Im still not quite used to the GTD Raynor yet (probably cause Ive only played one mod with it). The colour seemed a bit light, and most GT ships are build more upwards, it was more flat...

Vasudan ships, I find slightly more interesting with their designs. They seem really odd, but a little graceful sometimes. (sometimes)

Shivan vessels, perfect enemy. I did enjoy the the colour scheme that was used, the blacks and reds. And the designs for a first time player proved distracting, unknown and hostile. Though I thought the beams were a bit to evil red, they do hurt...

Anyway, (please) ignore my opinions cause im a noob :D.

Congrats on saying it :). And Im just a n00b in general though,

Ship designs, what on earth do I know, Im just a pilot. If Command needs my opinion they'll promote me to Admiral.

I thought he got demoted after he pulled the blockade that would have stopped the Iceni. Sent packing to a backwater cruiser patrol in disgrace...

no I got demoted when I was destroyed by a Fenris

only reason I am not on mop duty is because it wasn't an Aten and they had Alpha 1, what was I supposed to do

The Faustus is certainly the best looking non-combat ship.  It's also quite capable of defending itself if it's upgraded from the default blob blasters, there are 4 aft and 2 forward and very well placed for excellent coverage.  I also believe it's a tiny bit more durable than the Fenris.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

No, the Faustus only has 3000 HP while the Fenris has 10000 (8000 in FS1).
