FS1: Dragon, I just love "special" ships. And the Valkyrie. Uly wasn't bad either.

FS2: Perseus. Erinyes (It's ugly but it's fun to shoot fighters with aimed single shots.


Bombers: I like the Zeus, it's fast and I also like the design.

The worst ship ever is the Boanerges.

I'm kinda diapointed in the Herc 2.

SF Mara. No contest. :D

Of course I'm a Shivan fan so I might be a little biased! :D

The only problem I have with it is that it will age very quickly (look at the guide to installing FS2_open in my sig. It's only a few months old!"
Yes, thats the (kind of positive) problem when things develop as fast as they do here (but let's not slow it down just to cope with that :) )
Apparently Sviz has been committed to keep that thing up-to-date (GW!) I trust someone will be quick to complain about it at TW site, if it falls behind :D

Gha!  I DESPISE the Ulysses.  Case in point - the Game of Tag misison.  I took one (yes, only one) Shivan missile to the nose (with front shields at full), and not only did it blast the shields down, but it also gave me a pile of hull damage AND knocked out my sensors.  That was a fun 30 seconds, waiting for the blasted support ship to show up and fix the sensors.

Give me an Ares or Herc II any day (haven't played very much with the Erinyes, but it seems nice to).

For bombers, I like the Zeus bet, I think.

Amen to that. How dare the GTVA remove two primary banks from a heavy assault fighter and call it an uprgrade? I'd sooner fly the original.

The Herc II can carry more warheads is faster(slightly) and smaller. At the sacrifice of two primary banks.

I don't take care of it at all. I do not like any of the Hercules fighters. They are too slow to survive anything.

The Ulysses - the ship for masochists or for boared Aces who like to play with one hand tied behind their backs ;)

The Herc III is a reskin of the Ares. In case somebody did not know previously.
