If you consider the Ares a capital ship.

No question about it

Complexity isn't necessarily a good thing is it though. Both in terms of utility and design. Gothic designs are far more complex than, say, Classic designs but they're generally seen as a bit busy and ugly.

It's a matter of preferences, really.

Yeah

[Enigmatic Entity]

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...

CAPITAL SHIPS CAN MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously.

How fast would the back end of an Orion be moving if it was turning?

A damn sight faster than 5 minutes.

You forgot to add the Sathanas to the poll. 

BTW, I voted for Orion.
Come back to life Galatea!!!!! 

[Dilmah G]

That would be a nice addition to the GTVA

Thread title, Lucika, before mentioning that.

Second Great War campaign...
Or which was the one with Saths on our side?


Quotes fixed.

[eliex]

Fix your quotations Lucika. 
Get rid of the third "[/quote]" and add a "]" to the second one.

And, FYI a Sathanas is not a GTVA ship.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Yes, it was the Second Great War Part II (SGWP2). I've got a screenie of its BFReds skewing something at the Celebration of Freespace thread.

[Asteroth]

Hard to decide between the Orion and the Hatshepsut. The Orion is very nostalgiaic and awesome, but I've also had a bit of a bias toward vasudans ships, especially the sobek and hatshepsut.

[Lucika]

I'd say that the Orion is the only ship that is actually majestic.

[Killer Whale]

until you take it out with a few cyclops torpedos and an artemis.

Oooookay. In this case, the Hattie isn't strong at all if you have a Sath at hand...

[Droid803]

Well, the Orion isn't either in your example. No canon ship is.

The Orion's real powerful until you realize you can take out every single main beam cannon in an unshielded Amazon with Training Lasers. (Disregarding escort fighters, of course)

[Aardwolf]

Hurr hurr.

Uh... has anyone ever made the Amazon player-flyable?

[Droid803]

Shouldn't be a hard table hack for that. I bet someone's done that before.
I can say that even though I haven't tried it cause I have removed entire Orions of the anti-cap beams without being shot at by it at all.

[ssmit132]

I've done it, and I didn't even need to edit the tables. Just set the player ship as an Amazon in FRED. Although I wasn't really fighting with it, I was observing a fight between a flak destroyer I made and a Lucifer.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

A Sathanas could moon a Hatshepsut to death. I've seen it before.
