What is the coolest-looking capital ship in Freespace?

Self-explanatory. Seriously, I take the Colly  ;)
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

I've chosen Collosus (mostly becuse of upcoming HTL), but a FS has a lot of cool ships, including Orion, Deimos, Hades, Hatshepsut,Sobek...

The Orion: armored brick never looked so damn good.

Wait what the hell is the GVC Sai?
No GVC Aten?

I like the Moloch. Even though it's kind of a joke - it looks way tougher than it is.

It's a Vasudan cruiser from Inferno, I don't know what is it doing here.

Canonically, Hatshepsut.

Fanon, maybe the Raynor, Karuna, Saturn, and those damn unnamed awesome ships from BWO.

Also the TI Aesir.

BWO has unnamed ships? :P If you mean their destroyers, those have been named...

Also, if we're talking Fanon, I'm voting for the BP version of the Raynor closely followed by the Sirona.

As far as fanon goes, I have to go with the GTD Titan. Your cruisers can't resist awesome of that magnitude!

By the way, why do so many people hate the current HTL Orion?

Cause it's just boxes for the sake of boxes.  Good hi-poly jobs follow the design and form of the original model, whereas the Orion just has extrusions and blobs tacked on to it.

It's an armored brick. It brooks no extrusions.

IMO it's boxes are brilliantly placed to make it more interesting. It's true that it doesn't follow the original design all the time, but it's still the Orion.

Orion, for its true majesty and "city in space" feeling.  But well, most of the FS ships look really cool.

Indeed, GVC Sai should be the Aten.

Sobek.

I've never understood people's fascination with the Orion either.
It's pretty unremarkable.

Swapped the Sai out for the Aten.

I had to go with the Demon.  It manages to cast a really imposing presence over the battlefield, like a great bloated insect.  I've loved flying around the thing ever since Evangelist.
