If you had to pick ONE line of ships...

Something thats been putting around in my head for a while - if, say, you had to select a line of ships to stick to in MP when you install the game, which would it be? I'm saying you ONLY have access to ONE line of ships, as in Border Worlds, Liberty, Kusari, (assuming ships were balanced), Corsair, etc, etc, etc...

Oh, and just for the sake of simplicity, the Anubis can be considered a Liberty ship.

Civilian, you can start cheap with a starflier and go all the way to the Eagle with 5 ships to choose from.

If they were all equal in stats? Then that would have to be Liberty (assuming that you gave them a VHF). I just love my BDR-337, which if you can't figure out, is a Defender.

Dark Helmet: Gimme that, you petty excuse of an officer!
Now hear this: LUDICROUS SPEED!!!
Col. Sanders: Sir, hadn't you better buckle up?
Dark Helmet: Eh, buckle this! Ludicrous speed...GO!!!

I'd have to think either Civilian or Bounty Hunter. Civilian because you could go clear up the line, and Bounty Hunter because I rely mostly on hit-and-run attacks and those are very beautiful ships on that plane.

Damn, that's a hard one...
I'd have to go with the XYZ fighters because they're tough s.o.b.'s, but they still have good handling and pack a nige firepowered punch. If not that, then Bounty hunter, mostly because they handle real nice compared to most other ships in their class, and they're pretty decently tough. thing is though, i have a problem with the very heavy fighters, because they handle like cows. I like heavy fighters because they have good generators and they can actually turn. that and they don't blow up after 30 seconds of combat. if VHF's turned better, i would get one in a heartbeat.

Civilian ships all the way. They always cost just the right amount for when you need them. And the chain ends in the Eagle. Nuff said

Hmmm... am i the only one who likes rheinland fighters...?
Not the humpback though, but i think the banshee is the best looking light fighter and the valkyrie the best looking heavy fighter, moreover, the banshee is also the BEST light fighter....and the valkyrie comes in a close third place...


Tommy out

Movin' in for the kill

Post Wed Mar 31, 2004 9:22 am

Either Bretonia or Independents(X XY Y etc) since both can kill anything if used right.

Kusari too

Post Wed Mar 31, 2004 11:56 am

@tommy
Iam playing online at the mo, i was in a banshee for quite a while, i think its cockpit looks ugly. Iam now in a valkare and i think that is easly one of the best looking ships out there, i think it looks tons better than the banshee.

-Therefore i am

Post Wed Mar 31, 2004 3:58 pm

Gotta be the sabre cause so many ppl underestimate and its the sweetest looking ship out there(specialy with the sabre xr mod it has 2 thrusters and 2 more hp)

is anyone else predicting a flame war about to break out over that last comment?

Post Wed Mar 31, 2004 8:53 pm

I just like the weapons rheinland uses. Those stereotypical alien weapons shooting out green plasma, kinda gives me a warm fuzzy feeling as I'm ripping weapon platforms and bases apart.
