Nah, it just says favorite.  Looks are perfectly good justification for favorites.  :D

The hades is awesome. GTI did a very good job making a terran lucifer equivalent.
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.

Well, it would've been more useful in FS2 if it had four engine subsystems instead of one.

I like the Hecate class destroyer for its looks, and it has equal or slightly superior firepower to the Orion in my opinion. :D

The Orion is prettier, but I still like the Hecate better. Odd as it may sound, but the Hecate looks vaguely like a fish; that doesn't discredit my liking for it, though; it's also one of the capital ships you interact with the least in the retail campaign.

In a straight fight, the Hecate would be kapwned by the Orion. Hard.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Most likely superior firepower; the tech room says it's more heavily armed than the Orion.

The Tech Room is hardly a reliable source in this instance.

Examining the FS Wiki, it could be a toss-up between the Orion and the Hecate.

Links: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Hecate     http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Orion

The Orion has more beams, but the Hecate has flak cannons, which the Orion has none of. Something the Orion does have is more of the heavy cannons, which could be the decisive difference between the two.

It also has a wider fire arc for its beams, which makes a big difference.

The Orion is also easier to fly around because it's mostly a cuboid.

No, because the Ursa turns much slower than the Perseus.

I'd like command a Typhon...
its a good stable ship - and has one of the best-anti-fighter defenses of all destroyers (maybe even the best)

I´d like to command a Deimos or a Sobek. They´re flexible enough to destroy bigger ships.

:nod: Just warp in behind the destroyer of your choice, fire for 5 minutes and warp out before you get killed by the explosion. Of course, you'll have to watch out for bombers and fighters, but this is between capital ships, so NO fighters or bombers... ;)
