I like the look of the Liberty Cruiser ... But from the back it looks weird and it looks like it's ass could get whooped by a Rheinland Cap. ship. I LOVE the look of the Libertarian Cruiser, especially that huge cannon in the front. Strangely enough, the Osiris has 2 turrets with the same kind of armament, but they're slower at firing. The Osiris looks sketchy because it has a rusted Liberty Cap. ship look. The Kusari Cap. ship looks a bit like the ANS Yamato from Starlancer, while, I agree, the Bretonian Cap. ship looks like a fish. The Rheinland battleship looks like the Hulk's arm.

How do the Kusari ships look like the Yamato? The closest things I can find to what that looks like are the carriers from the movie version of Starship Troopers and the Kushan heavy cruiser from Homeworld, neither of which look anything at all like the Kusari pocketknife designs. Kusari capital ships are very angular, while the Yamato is much more rounded- and it doesn't have fins!

Rheinland. Can't get enough of the ship.Just functional, no sailing wings here like the Kusari ones. And i have to admit the Osiris isn't to bad either. But whaddya expect from me?

Does everyone think the Bretonian battleship looks like a fish?

I'd say it's a killer whale, not a fish.

But I can't figure what kind of fish/sealiving mammal the Crusader and the Cavalier looks like. Anyone got a clue?

And I think I like the Killer Whale and the Pocket Knife best. They've got style

The Bretonian one is at least some kind of aquatic creature, that's for certain. Maybe a fish got loose in Omega 41 and the radiation turned it into a Bretonian Battleship.

The liberty cruiser and bretonian gunboat are the best cap ships imo, i like the fwd gun on the liberty cruiser and the bretonian gunboat is the best looking of all the cap ships

In game, Osisis , other wise , a modded one. Game ones a little boreing. Need to be a bit bigger in size relation to fighters.

rheinland cruisers are the most amazing pieces of military art i've ever seen. huge, ominous, powerful and deific. you see one and you just feel... small...and powerless. evne if they don't have shields. so what? it's 200 times the size of your fighter!

for battleships, i have to say that kusari holds my eyes the most... just the way they're designed and all.

gunboats? rheinland wins again. those things just look freaking cool. something about the angles just make 'em cool to look at.

liberty ships just look like...well...a gertain kind of toy used in making a certain gender vary happy. that and they're freaking tiny. makes me want to stick them in a pencil sharpener and sharpen them. besides, the foreward guns look wierd and rather akward. sorry, the whole ring array thing don't strike me fancy much. though the way the cruisers look like they have an axe head at the bow is kinda neat.

retonia ships imho are just... way to british. overly elegant and really oddly put together. i mean yeah, they're pretty good looking if you're into british architecture, but i'm not, so i find them a little too antiquated, for lack of a better word. that and the engine exhaust looks like some kind of body part. like the end of a colonm or something. that and the fighterws look like earwigs.

Nomad shhips look neat, but they remind me of bad sci-fi movies way too much to make the "cool" mark in my mind. the guns are pretty neat though./ well, the graphics are anyways. a 4.0 rate of fire isn't quite my thing. 8.33 and 5.33 is more like it to me.

Another favorite of mine is the Kusari Battlecruiser, in the New Universe mod. There's a screenie of it here.

stn: i totally agree with u, i think they should have used the model of the bretionian gunboat for a somewhat smaller fighter, i would have used that fighter only!

As for the best looking cruiser and battelship, i think it is obvious both are liberty, (i personally think none of the battleships look really good, and the only good looking cruiser is from liberty), they should have taken a ship like the paradigm from privateer 1 or the militia destroyer from privateer 2...

I think that the Liberty Dreadnought wins, (the boatish look) unlike the Bretonian Batltleship, which looks like a giant mutated fish.
