The problem is yours, because you're close minded. And this is not the first time you prove to be close minded.
Me? Close minded?

Am I the only one who finds this, coming from you, extremely hilarious?

Re: Favorite GTVA Capital Ship
Well, I voted for the Hecate.

Might be because I came to FS2 first, but the Hecate just appeals to me more.  I do feel that the design suggests it should have at least 1 more BGreen, but regardless of the firepower issue, it's just a more attractive ship in my opninion.
When the reactor explodes, it's usually a sign that you've taken too much damage.

I'll stop the argument before it starts.

Mobius: I don't care.


Incidentally, Orion FTW!

I don't care, really. I'm not going to waste time with another Mobius-Snail debate. :rolleyes:

Re: Favorite GTVA Capital Ship
Orion forever!

Somehow, the Hecate never managed to inspire in me the kind of awe and reassurance that the Orion managed to.
If I'm just aching this can't go on
I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

Re: Favorite GTVA Capital Ship
I'd personally like to see a version of the Hecate that is slimmed down, perhaps with a smaller fighterbay, and more power to the weapons.  That way, the alliance can keep the standard Hecates behind the lines on C&C duty and still have a modern destroyer that is good at its namesake: destroying other ships.

Re: Favorite GTVA Capital Ship
I'm not going against canon, for God's sake. Canon goes well beyond table entries, which were made with balancing in mind. :v: would have never added a Hecate capable of taking down Moloch corvettes with multiple BGreens, for example. :v: would have never added a Mentu capable of disarming many of the NTF Iceni's turrets(even beam cannons). I'm not saying that the Hecate should have this and that, but I'm encouraging you to consider balancing issues as well as the technological Terran engineers reached with the Hecate.

The problem is yours, because you're close minded. And this is not the first time you prove to be close minded.


It's fine to make fanon to patch up holes -- like the Hecate seeming underpowered -- but the canon fact is that the Orion can fire a beam from a three-barreled turret and the Hecate is a couple beams short of real firepower.

The 'universe' you want to make is fanon.

Don't worry, I'll argue with you.

And another little chuckle with Mobius arguing about what he thinks it should be instead of what it is.

Re: Favorite GTVA Capital Ship
GTD Orion, and not only because I command one.

There is just something I feel when I'm playing the game, a feeling of protection, even in FS1, when Orions were nothing more than aircraft carriers.  I know it'll sound crazy, but I used to draw the outlines of Orions at school when I was bored, I was that fixated on them!
I reject your reality and substitute my own, hence my existance on the Galatea!

Yeah I felt the opposite in FS2. I didn't care much for the Aquitaine. I never really got to see it kick ass plus i resented having to fly escort for the ship in the nebula.

I HATED that ship. The Psamtik was OK.

My favorite is the fully functional hades.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

I voted for the Deimos.  :pimp:
It was a hard choice though, since my criteria was beauty, beauty and beauty (as usual).

The Deimos is beautiful and deadly.  I like destroyers and all, but I would take 3 Deimos' in a triangle phalanx over a destoryer any day.  9 Terslashes + overlapping fields of AA fire = death to all who oppose.
