Best looking Freighter contest.

To my surprise, the "Best looking ship contest" seems to be going rather well. Now, my idea is to do the same basic thing, except this time, we narrow the field to freighters alone.

Remember, this is based on LOOKS ALONE, not how agile it is, or how powerful its weapons are, or even the size of the cargo hold. If it were, we'd be fighting over Humpbacks and Dromedaries all day. If you like, you CAN factor in the position of the turrets/guns on the hull and their felds of fire, as this is directly related to hull form.

Before I go on, if mods feel this is redundant, feel free to lock it. I won't object.

Now, I'm going to do this slightly differently than the other thread. Everyone gets ONE post to vote. No coming back to vote for something else. I don't condone "best ship/freighter" threads, but if you would like to discuss them otherwise, I won't object. Keep it civil and I hope the mods won't either.

Posts should be formatted as follows:

Like: (reason)

Hate: (reason)

As before, any posts not giving a reason or basing the reason on performance issues will be IGNORED. Anyways, here's the scoreboard, in alphabetical order. It will remain in the first post, updated via edit every now and then.

Clydesdale - 12
Dromedary - 8
Drone - 11
Humpback - 8
Mule - 10
Rhino - 11

not another one of these threads. anyway,
like-clydesdale- just looks better than the rest

hate-dromendary- the shape is just not right for a freighter. It looks like a damn turtle in a corset. It is the best freighter to have though, cuz it has a lot of cargo hold and nice hard points and can protect it self swell if you know how to use it.

Like: Clydesdale- Although I never flew one, this freighter looks cool with the simple round design. It looks like an insect, but in a good way.

Hate: Humpback- Take a block of metal, stick a cockpit, hump, and two engines on it, paint it green, and this is what you get. Gives the other ships in the Rheinland armory a bad name.

like Clydesdale i love that freeking freighter.....
hate humpback stupid piece of ****........

i reckon the Drom is the best ship. Its guns are well mounted and it looks the part. the only thing that stops me from using it always is its max gun lvl- 6
It looks like a dagger that found weight gain 4000 hehehehe

I hate the Xenos

Wow, great job guys. 6 replies and only half from people that bothered to READ the title and description of the post, even after 6+ pages of the Worst Looking Ship thread. Impressive.

Anyways time for my own.

Like: Rhino. Clean, proper look, easy turret placement. Just seems to be the one that looks most like a freighter.

Hate: Although I fly it once in a while for its agility, I really can't stand the Dromedary. It just looks like someone stuck a baloon inside a Dagger and blew in until it gre a cargo hold, slapped on a boom with some engine pods, and out you go.

Anyone else think the Civilian class needs its own freighter? The line is the most extensive one there is, just missing a good cargo hauler.

Civilians use Rhinos, Clysedales, Drones and Humpbacks. Duh.
Anyway:

Like: Everyones already said Clysedale so MULE. I dunno why i like it, it just has a nice shape. (a lot like supermodels.....)

Hate: Drone. Anyone who has watched Star Wars 6 (and thats 95%) will know what i mean. Jabba's. Sail. Barge.


p.s Anyone other than me tried fighting in a freighter?
