Gotta be the Aten - the others are actually supposed to be pathetically weak. I generally change its weapons loadouts whenever I use it in FRED so that I can at least pretend it's something of a challenge.

Interesting. I never realised that a bit of sarcasm could have such an effect on people. :rolleyes:

When I'm mad I enjoy putting as many Sathani in a mission as possible, flying far away, then destroying them simultaneously with the debug codes.

Then watching the fireworks.... Better than blowing up Atens...:D

 
If you mean FS2 core ships then the Fenris/Leviathan (Come on they are the same freakin ship!) double waste of a ship table space ;)

    Now my favorite thing to take down in a fighter (Meaning mine)  is a borg cube. But only in Getter1. No one else can handle it... Somethings up though... It almost seems like they have been hiding lately. Must be my imagination (or humongus ego!) :lol:
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

Crap. I bet there's no timeout on this poll. Which means we'll be plagued by votebumping forevermore.

The Aten actually wouldn't be that bad as an anti-fighter ship if its turrets did not have paper armor on them.

It is probably the Fenris for me; the thing is even much weaker than the Aten and can be destroyed with twenty seconds of maxim pounding from afar.

The Lilith is a ship that comes in packs of at least 4 or 5. They were never designed to fight one on one with anything :p

One on one with any Terran cruiser and it wins. Can do much damage to a Deimos, too, depending on Angle of approach.

Play "Reaching the Zenith" on Hard.

Lliths can kill fighters fast.

Lilith? :wtf: How can you say that thing is bad?

In FS1 it eats fighters for lunch and is practically invulnerable. In FS2 it is just as good, but now has an aaaf and an LRed...

If anything you meant the Cain, I hope.

It's certainly a lot harder than the Cain so it seems an odd choice.

For my 'Other' I'd have to say the 'GTT Elysium' is pretty poor: one turret and once you get up behind the Elysium can't touch you.

A Lilith would be a bad choice for a humiliation kill in a fighter (I was not thinking of bombers when I wrote this poll) because it has 75000 hitpoints! A single fighter can't do 75000 hitpoints worth of damage unless you have a LOT of patience.
