The Athena became obsolete when the Hercules was developed. I agree that the Herc is a better anti-warship weapon than the Athena. It is ironic that I find the Athena a better fighter despite it is designated as a bomber. And the Hercules is a fighter by designation, but it is better at bombing that the bomber-type Athena.

Athena? Herc? GAAH!!!!  Well my vote goes to the Athena because the amount of votes are smaller than the Herc...though I wish there were better loadout capabilities...:P

I am flabbergasted that the Ulysses is in such a minority.

Herc. Hands down.

Although the Athena comes close.... no. It's horrid for what it was designed for and only reasonably passable as a fighter.

It's not that I don't like the Ulysses, TopAce. I just like the Athena more.

Ulysess, though it switches it Herc if it's the FS Port.  Primarily because guided missiles seem to actually work in the FS Port, and never seemed to function properly in FS1.

I always had a soft spot for the Ulysses. I flew one the first time I took out Lucy...er...you get what I mean. Herc is a very close second. I agree on the FSPort Herc is best. Prom + Banshee and nothing but Interceptors :D

Athena. The firepower and shielding were unbeatable, and its maneuvrability really wasn't all that compromised if you shunted power from guns to engines. :)
