Most certainly the Clydesdale, followed by Drom and Mule.
Drone would have to be last place, but I never seen one with those silly wings cut off,
so I may be wrong.

You're both wrong, it's the Humpback, the dead sexy beast. There's nothing I like better than that burnt green tinge on the side of her hull, coupled with that retractable "boob" cargo bay, it doesn't get much better for my buck, or 170k credits as the case may be. I also like the sexyness of the higher level guns and shields she holds, it adds a little fury and mystery, but I wouldn't listen to me, I'm referring to a ficticious ship as "she"....

dromedary. we called machines "she" becasue they are bad tempered, and refuse to do as they are told ^^ ( sorry girls, i didnt mean it )

Isn't this a little too similar to a "Best Ship" Thread? Admittedly, I don't remember anybody talking about the sexyness of freighters before, so I do give this thread some credit for being original.

So, have any of you tried the "train" from one of those mods? How does that stack up to these? It wouldn't seem to be too maneuverable, but I could be wrong. I'm curious to know. Anybody tried it?

The Humpback looks so cool when you blow it up because you can see the chunk that was the arch float slowly into space. I actually think that the Rhino, and all liberty ships for that matter, are the coolest looking. As I have mentioned before, Bretonian ships are so sucky looking it's not even funny (although there is a certain charm to their battleships). --- RR16

Whoever came up with "Mission Commision" should be lined up and shot

I'd take a Dromedary any day over a Humpback. More manouverable, more cargo space - who cares if it's got a lower weapon/shield rating? You don't take a freighter to fly combat missions.

The Clydesdale looks like a frickin' moth.

There's only two types of people who play Freelancer:
-Those who think the Sabre is the best ship;
-Those who are wrong.

Clydesdale is finest by far. Smooth curves and contours all over, a lovely shaped posterior with a nice pair of..........erm............fluffy dice in the window.

Ugliest has to be the mule though........come on - that thing is butt ugly - worse than that lump of unresponsive Humpy - although the name is kinda erm........hmm - hmmmm

Hmm - think i should be arrr.......we were talking about freighters......leaving
now......yep.........go quick - RUN!

The Mule looks cool, not too mention it could kick any other frieghters butt. How does it feel to have 4 missles screaming your way with 3-4(depending on angle) stunpulse turrets ripping off your shields?

I asked about the look of it dammit!
Everyone has his ovn opinion of this thing!
And only look of it,not the stats dammit!

So Davoid......erm - you are saying that you find the mules attractive eh?

Okay - whatever floats your boat i suppose, but best not get to involved with mules, or they give you the kick

I like the Drom best, then the Hump...and indeed, the Clydesdale looks like a friggin' insect (ready to be squashed)...

@SFC & lethallarry, do you mean the Drone rather than the Clydsdale?
Drone is the one with those silly wings, it's Kusari.

Paint job on Clydsdale isn't the best I'll admit, but lines are sleek.
(however, I hate the fish/bug looks of Cavalier & Crusader)

Mule looks like a Pirate should...eeeevil.
Love it's looks, but for different reason than Clydsdale.

Edited: Ya, yer right SFC which is why I yanked the reference. Kinda wedge shape.
I had four X-1/9s myself, and five-six 850's before that.(some were parts cars)
You're right about the border world ships, I wondered why I liked 'em so much.

Clydesdale looking like X 1/9 (which SFC also happens to own one of)? Clydesdale is round (hence the insect impression), an X is not (I'd say a Dagger has X 1/9 looks)..

Although the Drake has wings, it din't strike me as a bug, it's too square..

SFC

1. Dromedary
2. Mule
3. Rhino
4. Humpback
Then the rest of them...
