Favorite Capital ship?
So, what's your all-time favorite cap ship from space "sims"? My vote would definately,without a doubt go to the CS Krasnaya of Starlancer, it's big, it's ugly, and it's made in the USSR, what more could you want? :D

Debris. best ship ever.

Hmm.. nice question. Tricky mind you. I have several so in no special order...

1. The Deimos of FreeSpace2 - Large, grey and built to do a job that it does well.
2. The Orion of FreeSpace2 - Equally large and carries the feel of a carrier exceedingly well.
3. CS Pukov of Starlancer - Also large, also grey (see a pattern here?) and built like a brick **** house.
4. ISDII, SSD and any Calamari ship from Star Wars - X-Wing Alliance.
5 - Adv. Cruiser of I-War 2.
6 - Reinhland Battleship of FreeLancer.
7 - Taidian Heavy Cruiser of Homeworld.

There's probably more but I can't think them up right now.

Mmmm...cruisers!
Specifically the Deimos and Sobek.

Then there are Mon Calamari ships from just...well...anywhere. Mon Calamari ships are cool. :p

Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

It does mean red.
Like Krasnaya Octobyr. Or however it was spelled (can't remember Russian spellings too well).

MMmmmmm...Clancy....:D

1. The Guardian of Orion (MOO1/2) - Alright, so MOO's a strategy game, but nothing beats an ancient autmated capship with blackhole generators, aptly named death rays, etc.
2. Hiigaran Battlecruiser (HW2) - Quad ion cannon arrays with point defense pulsar guns, a fighterbay, tactical FTL jumps, cloak field and gravity well generators, what isn't there to like?
3. Dreadnought class corvette (I-War) - Manuverable, interesting shield mechanics, able to engage forward and rear targets at the same time.
4. Waterloo class cruiser (WC2) - There's nothing like seeing capship v.s. capship warfare in an old sprite-based game.
5. Deimos class corvette (FS2) - Yes it's a brick, but it is a very functional ship that can hold its own.

But then again...
The Pillar of Autumn was a cool looking ship
(I'm surprised noone else said it)

I liked those Covvy ships too.

Gonna have to suprise you all and say the Kennedy-class carrier from S:AAB. And the SDN, which we saw for all of ten seconds :nod:

Tachyon-class patcom from IW2 (not really a capship, but close), and the Sovereign-class from ST, specifically the Nemesis version.

Keeping on FS universe, my bet is on the Iceni.
Fast, compact yet capable to go toe to toe against a destroyer.

I don't understand how the Iceni could take on a destroyer. Does it have big beams or anything? Meh... seems more of a cruiser to me.
