Whoops. I definitely just voted for Ulysses but I meant Hercules. Yeah firepower. Damn Greek names, they're all the same.

     Actually Hercules is Roman so you have no excuse
     (In Greek mythology it's Heracles)

     As for the poll, I picked the Athena for the simple fact it looks cool.

Only the first Dralthi truly deserved the nickname "flying bullseye", though.

Valkyrie, but Herc comes in a close second.  Once you've pushed that afterburner to the floor, you're going places.  I despised the Perseus in FS2; they call that thing an interceptor?  Please; it was completely neutered. Give me the longest afterburner duration and highest speed in the GTA any day of the week.

@ngtm1r: Dralthi I and II share the same model.  And the Dralthi III is even more pancake shaped, IMO.  But, yes, the Dralthi I is definitely the weakest of the bunch.

@Mongoose: Yeah, you've got a point there.  It's not really all that much faster than the Myrmidon.  The only real advantage is it can carry Harpoons.

Valkyrie closely followed by the Athena. Both of them were poorly replaced.

Weapon compatibility must be the problem with the Valkyrie. I don't know if the Valk were compatible with for example the Harpoon, or the Subach, but I guess not.

[Moonsword]

It probably is.  They just wanted to replace it with a newer model.  Plus the Perseus was just then coming into limited testing, the Valkyrie  was still on the front lines, most likely, just not where we saw it.

Dralthi II model was different. Wings were canted downward and the overall craft was smaller, with the guns in a different spot and having much shorter barrels.

Hercules. All you sissy "oh I am so special I can fly rings around you cowboy" coward aces will just become "oh I am so special I OH **** WHAT ON GOD'S NAME ARE YOU BRINGING DOWN ON ME" pieces of debris when faced by superior firepower. Peace!

[Flaser]

Truth be told, the Valk and Athena had very good gun placement, making them superior shooters.

Does anyone have a link to images of the Freespace 1 ships? It's been such a long time that I can't remember what most of them looked like... I do remember falling in love with the Ulysses with the Prometheus and Hornet missiles during the end of the single player campaign.

[Akalabeth Angel]

You can check out my webpage for Freespace conversions to Babylon 5 Wars for the pictures. Click on the names along the left of your screen and a page with an image and information will pop up.


This is the Webpage

Little bit off-topic, but AA, you have a magnificent website!

[Japong]

Yeah, thanks for the linkage... now that I remember the Athena, makes me want to change my vote.

And also, go back and play FS1.

    Thanks . Though some of it is based on my friend's design (who is also hosting my webpage as a matter of fact)

[TopAce]

The Prometheus is better against armour. It is no doubt, however, that the Banshee is more ideal against Shivan fighters.

[Fergus]

What, no captured Dragon?

[AlphaOne]

Well as far as I'm concerned the Valkarye was a superb intereceptor an used it as often as I could but for the prelunged battles especiali were you have to take out enemy warships I prefer the Athena and even better the Hercules.
