GTF Apollo. Blocky, heavily armored and about as maneuverable as a brick, what's not to like? :D
A Seth is a terrible thing to waste. The reverse applies for Shivans.

I loved the Apollo (best looking ship in FS1), BUT I have to give my vote to the HERC... It's the ship that won the war...

The Ulysses IMHO was the best looking ship in FS1.

Perhaps because it looks like a Dralthi...

I voted for the Athena. Two banks of Avengers and a full load of Fury missiles and EVERYTHING falls.

But I like the Apollo and Herc too...

Valkyrie


I didn't like how the Ulysses couldn't carry the Banshee. I also didn't like how the Athena couldn't carry the Prometheus or the Banshee. Sure, some missions you need the firepower and armor of the Hercules, but most missions I used the Valkyrie. As soon as it came out, I never used the Apollo again.

Valkyrie. It needs more guns, but it's a beauty to fly...

They're right, WC3, 4, and (IIRC) Prophecy are all older than FS.

And the Dralthi have looked like flying pancakes since the beginning of the series... the WC3/P Dralthi looks less like one than the Dralthi I/II/III (1/SM2/Priv), the Jrathek (WCA), or the Drakhri (WC2).  All of those are medium fighters, and all (supposedly) share similar mission profiles: target practice, flying targets, breakfast.

The Valkyrie is my favorite, but not by much.  I like the Herc and love the Athena and Apollo, too.

It's a difficult question.

But i think i prefer the Ulysses, because it's looking good, is fast and have good Firepower. And because it's very thin, it's hard to hit and then you don't need a good Armor.

Second is the Athena.
