Of these destroyers which one would you rather be onboard permenantly?
(all have BFGreens)

[TopAce]

Hades. It is the toughest.

[Kie99]

Yeah I agree with you, who voted Hecate? That ship is ****e

[TopAce]

That's not a bad ship. It is well armed.

[Kie99]

It always runs away! I'd rather have an Orion

[TopAce]

That's old. It has some beam cannons, but only a few.
[EDIT]The Orion is one of my favourite FS ships, but despite I wouldn't serve onboard it.

[Kie99]

Let's agree to disagree.

My favourite destroyer is the Orion, but it needs about double the number of turrets, and lots and lots of flak guns to be halfway decent. Ooh, and a HTL version (with new texture job) wouldn't go hurt it...

[magatsu1]

did abit of a test like this in FRED a while ago. The Ravana always won unless flanked, with the Psamtik shape Vasudan second. The Hecate always got it's ass kicked by just about everything.

Hard to compaire the Hades as it originally didn't carry beams.
I voted Orion BTW.

Hatshepsut. I like it. IIRC it also has quite good forward weaponry.

Actually, why in the hell are capship beams splattered all around the hull in most FS capships? Stick big guns into the nose and maximize firepower. Like EAD Lindos.

I also go for the "vacuum cleaner".

[MatthewPapa]

Orion, because they are so cool and the fact they can lay waste to something in seconds (if the stupid gunners hit).

[Ford Prefect]

For me it was a coin-toss between the Orion and the Hecate. (I picked the Hecate.)

The Hades is dumb and Vasudan ships are just poopy. (I'll laugh if anyone picks the Typhon.)

Because the AI broadsides... and also if you get hit from the side, you're ship'd be screwed with forward weaponry. It's called balance.

I like the Typhon.  It's the most aestetically pleasing, hell on fighters and with a little retrofit,(twice the turrets and beams and all that goes with it) the match of any ship in the fleet

[ChronoReverse]

I'd pick the Hatshepsut, but I like to be on a terran ship so Orion.

The GTVA should really design a much shorter destroyer tailored for less speed, more manueverability and beams all facing forward.

And give it a new class name, like dreadnought or frigate.

Ya, if you think a squished jellyfish is aestetically pleasing

[Aspa]

The Typhon is the only destroyer that gives you a proper sense of scale when you're flying over it.

[ChronoReverse]

The Orion gives the same feeling on certain angles where you can see the lights (like the landing pads).  If the Orion got a reskin, it would be awesome.
