Bah, Sathanas is ok but all those 'super' things are way too utopian. And that's the only reason why I'm not waiting Inferno as much as I should be.

Give me a corvette any day. At least you can make it look good - you don't have to have single polygons bigger than the whole bloody Colossus :S
And the fact that corvettes are fast, pack a decent punch against cap ships, whilst still having great fighter/bomber defence. And for some reason I just like smaller things that work well :)

You can edit your own posts, if you feel like making a comment that's shorter than a line. Typically, you do it by adding a line saying 'EDIT: -comment here-'. You have only been around for a short while, and your post count has gone up ridiculously. NO NEED!

Anyway, yeah, I want to see someone give a good balanced argument that concludes at huge ships being better.

Corvettes for me. Scary to face in a mission, yet not unkillable by a player with the right loadout. If it's so big and powerful that the player is inconsequential by comparison, I'll go ooh and aah, but I'll have more fun against a corvette in the long run. Could have been destroyers, except I don't like the fact that it's impossible to accurately portray the power of a destroyer as so much of that power is based on their fighter complement. Destroyers in a mission are like carriers with only 1/10th their full complement onboard, much more and the game is going to crawl. So corvettes take the gold.

 
The Deimos class Corvette is just so F***ing brill.

I know a lot of people bang on about how superior Vasudan ships are but I hate going up against Deimos class ships than any Vasudan vessel.

Demios=YOW!!

Of course I`m still wondering what the Collossus would look like in Orion blue hull metal. I think it would look really damn cool.


(super) juggernaut`s are ridiculous. Look atthe size of em. It would take far too long to walk around even with trains ect inside.

Remember space balls anyone??

"this ship is too big! If I walk the movie`ll be over"
You`d need more than a lightsabre to kick a shivans arse!!!

I pick wahoonies for a living! Maybe that why I have no friends,

Holy **** Odyssey, you killed the thread. What the **** is going on with this thing?


Er, anyway, assuming he fixes that or something... excessively large ships are only cool if they're excessively large for a reason.

My personal bias is towards carrier-types, and then anything light and fast.

With ModelView, you can change around the textures on the capships. Try it out.
