-Streven- Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So I'm wondering what people's favorite ships are and why? I'm ciurious to see if people's expectations might be challenged a little here. Reading the forums the uninitiated might be tempted to think there are nothing but Gunships and Bombers in most matches with the odd tier 2 scout here and there. My current fave is the Starguard followed closely by my almost mastered Nova. I choose the Starguard for its versatility, ability to take a beating, and wow factor for when you smoke a scout who thought you'd be an easy skill (as evidenced by their willingness to try and take you head on).

Nemarus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Since 2.6, my Blackbolt. It owns in Deathmatch, and it's probably the best looking Imperial ship. That being said, I also like my Razorwire, simply because it's neat to fly a slow and lumbering flying tank. Of course, I personally think it's a little overpowered at the moment. On the Republic side, I always enjoyed the appearance of the Pike. It felt like a good, strong, heavy fighter. The Quarrel also felt very ... sturdy. Bonus answer: My most hated fighter is the Rycer. It looks like a tug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoUniverseBC Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Flashfire. I just love how it feels and looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalkasari Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Pike Because I have an extreme dislike for rail-guns and with the pike I can fire two missiles almost simultaneously and remove the problem. Rampant I am really warming to this bomber as it can take some real punishment and I love getting air-to-air kills in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityLyre Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Pike/Quell, but I play every single ship class and ship variation. Capable of holding their own at variable ranges. A great balance of maneuverability, durability and staying power. Launching missiles is fun. There's only one real downside: "This is how Jedi fly!"

DarkDajin Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The Quarrel, it's my go-to ship, can't beat it for versatility. It can get up close and punch with the Burst Cannon, Deal long-range single target massive hits (including one-shotting bombers with Damage Overcharge), Deal with fortfied nodes using AoE Ion cannons and it can move as fast as most other ships using barrel roll and good energy management (just ask the 2 scouts that were chasing me around a deathmatch map ) As for the other classes, The Pike for its tanky-ness and hard hitters The Flashfire for its crazy critting The umm Minelayer Bomber thing for its offensive capabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid-szhite Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 So I'm wondering what people's favorite ships are and why?

I choose the Starguard for its versatility, ability to take a beating, and wow factor for when you smoke a scout who thought you'd be an easy skill (as evidenced by their willingness to try and take you head on). I'm a huge fan of the Blackbolt. While the Sting might have more offensive and defensive options, the Sting can't use Sensor Beacon, EMP Field, or any Sensors. It's really just a light Strike Fighter. Sensor Beacon might be situational, but EMP Field is fantastic for dealing with minefields out of the box, and with upgrades, you can make all your friends become immune to missile locks, you can disable enemy System Ability AND Engine/Shield ability, as well as reducing their accuracy by a whopping 20%, all for 18 seconds. The Blackbolt can also equip sensors to find those pesky dampened gunships, or even sensor dampeners to strike fast and slip away undetected. The Blackbolt is very versatile and deadly in the right hands, and it's so under-utilized that it saddens me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altheran Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Starguard. Then ultimately Novadive. Others... Flashfire & Pike = meh. Gunship & Bombers = yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidenti Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 FAVORITE: Pike. It doesn't look like a Quell and, properly armored, allows me to survive even a brief run-in with capital turrets. LEAST FAVORITE: Quell, because of its looks. Honestly, it looks like I'm flying a restaurant takeout box. MOST INTRIGUING: The Legion bomber. This is how Imperial ships should look. Love the design.

MCaliban Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Probably my blackbolt, but I enjoy anything but the strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEATHICIDE Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Starguard Versatility + durability, and who doesn't like an underdog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom_VI Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'll give you three guesses as to my favorite and the first two don't count. Hint: see my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancezwithnubz Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Blackbolt. As well as being the most fun to fly, with lasers mounted on it, i reckon it looks pretty sweet. kinda like a BSG Raider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The Novadive, nothing beats the speed you can push out of it. The bombers and other scout secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldcrush Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 B-4D Legion. It's a beast of a machine, the last of the true SUV's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToMyMa Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 FlashFire just because it's probably OP as hell - gotta love blasting fools to smitherines in a matter of seconds And I love the Pike, too, due to it's design and how it flies.

reclipsed Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's a toss up between my NovaDive, Sting and Star Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
