You are all wrong

The only two fighters that rule in Freespace 2 are Ptah and Perseus. Once you learn to handle the Perseus, you won't need a better fighter.

Tornadoes. Much better.

Same here; I prefer heavy bombers.

[LtNarol]

Artemis: good for ammo dumps but thats about it.

Tornados are better because they do more damage, almost a gauranteed kill if all 8 hit.

Perseus is definitely not the best fighter around, the Loki is so much better.

The worst fighter ever made is the Loki...
 
Though I guess it was just a sarcastic comment...

My favorite fighters are kind of tied between the Ares, Tauret and Sekhmet (which performs surprisingly well as a fighter), depending on the mission.

And I also think the Loki is among the worst fighters in either game (); the only one that is worse than it is the crappy Anubis.

[Kellan]

The best bombers in the game are without a doubt Vasudan ones, if you ask me. They're faster and more maneuvrable, so they work as fighters in a pinch, which is important given that totally ignored bomber turrets in FS2.

They also have huge payloads, with great compatibility. IMO, the Bakha is the best bomber, bar none. It's fast but it can carry the Helios. Sorted.

[CP5670]

Yeah, the Bakha has great secondary capacity and armor/shielding considering its small size. (it is about the same size as the Ptah )

[Knight Templar]

My favorite ships are the Erinyes and the Ares (although the perseus is becoming one of them too)

 I don't neccasirly like the Erinyes because its really as much as it looks sweet. Its only a good ship if u can learn to manage the weapons. It makes me sad because its hard to bring it in a battle w/ kayser and maxim loadout and not run outta power.

The ares doesn't usually run outta power for me so i can have my maxim and kayser. Note to mention its the scariest terran fighter out there

Also the perseus is pretty good if u load it out with double kaysers harpoons/tornados and Trebuchets

hey, no dissing my ship.  As for the Erinyes, its rather good, if you run out of power, its because you cant aim; it is a bit slow for me though, and thus the reason why i stick with my LOKI.

[Knight Templar]

Well not being able to aim would be me. I know its sad but its hard for me to hit anything over 5oo meters away. It might be for the last 3 years, ive been using a Microsoft Sidewinder Game Pad to play.

You are right though, the Erinyes rulz

everytime i hear loki i think of the over 15 squadrons i wasted if not more playing Derelict. Man did that get old

[LtNarol]

they're ai lokis, would it have made a difference if they were Erinyii?  Besides, no one has been able to shoot down my Loki in under 5 minutes.

[Knight Templar]

I wasn't refering to "your" loki, just sayin that. Besides IMHO, lokis arent that great, im sure if u are skilled u can kick ass but a loki as a fighter over all, kinda sucks.

I mean, 1 missle bank, small missle bank at that.

Limited selection of primaries.    Really bad armor, not as fast as some fighters....

I personally don't like them

[CP5670]

Yeah, I don't like the Loki much either. Its only plus point is that it can carry the Maxim, but that pales in comparison to the deficiencies. A good pilot can perform well in any ship, so that isn't a really a good indicator of a good/bad ship.

[Blue Lion]

Bad ships are ones you die in

[CP5670]

okay, I die in a Loki.

[Blue Lion]

Bad CP, bad, no cookie for you, it's fast and turns on a dime, who needs missles?

[LtNarol]

exactly, missiles are for pussies.  Lokis kick arse.  and like i says, no dissing my LOKI!
