Interesting thread, however, if the namecalling continues, it will be locked thread.

I'm sure we don't have to go there, hmmmm?

Re: If you could command ANY type/class of ship in the FS series...
Hmm....forgot to add fighters last time around...why not?

Freespace 2:
I'd love to fly the Myrmidon any day when it comes to fighters. 6 primary banks to give it the same power punch as a herc, and the ability to carry Helioses against capital vessels.

Bombers: The Ursa. Slow, steady, reliable - and most importantly, comes with massive bomb bays filled with pure Helios pwnage.

Cruisers: A Leviathan. An Aeolus is significantly effective against most ships, but it doesnt last very long. A Leviathan on the other hand, can't dish out as much, but is very capable in taking the damage and surviving far, far longer than an Aeolus would.

Corvettes: The Iceni - nothing less. Although I dont really like teh shape, I prefer the aura of mystery that surrounds this tiny ship, and the secrets it may hold about the Shivan Enigma. Definate choice over the Deimos in my book.

Destroyers: GTG Zephrys. No way in hell your getting me to command a bit-fat-target-for-sathanas-or-ravana-cannons-destroyer. I'd rather just take a miner and sit somewhere safe, far from enemy lines, thank you.

From Inferno:

Fighters: Perseus Adv.

Cruisers: The Ticonderaga!

Corvettes: No preference...

Destroyers: The GTD Raynor. Because it is the very essence, in every sense of the word, of l337n3ss. Either that, or the fearsome Lindos.

Super-caps: The Nemesis.

Cap ship: I'm not sure, though a Leviathan with a bit lighter armor would rock.
Fighter: A wing of Perseus

sure, but sooner or later it will still be destroyed. A miner, now, thats a low priority target.

yeah, but you tend to get escorts, and be far, far away from enemy lines. There's nothing more boring than being in a miner. yet at the same time, their's nothing further away from enemy front lines. Besides, if i *were* in a miner and decided to run away from enemy ships, I wouldn't be charged for AWOLing, since I was just protecting the GTVA's assets and important resource gathering units. ;)

What about when you would have to transport the mined gas to the ships serving at or near the front lines?

That's where political connections and sudden, conveniently inconvenient engine 'failiures' just before I have to leave to the front lines come into play. ;)

How about surgical strikes on gas miners behind the front lines?

Re: If you could command ANY type/class of ship in
Let me put it this way Singh. Every single gas miner seen in FS2 was the target for one side or the other. :D Hell the Shivan ones even had a mission specifically about killing them :)

Yeah. But if I run away, I still wont be charged for AWOL ;)
 
Oh - and every single gas miner we see had a DUMB pilot that didn't know the Buerecratic process, or of how orders are processed behind the scenes.

Remember - in logistics and the service side, it's not the commanders that have the REAL power even if they issue the orders, it's through the clerks and army of support staff that issue, process and then send out the orders. Having a clerk as a contact - especially one belonging to a very ignorant service side commander - can do wonders ;)

Fine, your desertion has caused the complete collapse of the front lines allowing your gas miner to be ambushed by the comparatively well supplied hostile fleet while the nodes leading out of the system are blockaded. Can your flimsy gas miner escape that?

No, but when I kamikaze into an enemy ship, I can at least kamikaze with style ;)

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta
