What ship did you settle on as your favorite?

[SuperOniiChan]

After trying a few out. Including the barracuda, arcturus, damocles, vanguard, and manticore.

I settled on the Sturville!

Very quick, small profile, and heavily armed for its size. Runs circles around bigger vessels.

What is your favorite?

[Estillon]

Manticore for me! Plenty of broadsides, plenty of turrets, plenty of components, what's not to love!?!

Working on my rep with mercs to try the Minotaur though. If the ship is true to its specs, I suspect it may easily become my favorite.

The Barracuda is definitely one of my favourites, the agility of that ship is brilliant.

My favourite Dreadnaught is the Lucky 13, Polaris. It has the right feeling of being what it should, a proper battleship.
The Blackgate in comparison feels like a floating weapons platform and while it has those 20 delicious broadside ports, they're too spread out.

The worst ship I've tried is the McKinley. While I think it's absolutely gorgeous and has a bunch of extra goodies like the huge cargo bay and 6(!) component banks, it's a mess to fight with.
The combination of not being able to hit anything behind you (turret placement), along with the forward broadside placement, makes this ship awkward to fight with.
It's probably my fault for trying to use it as a battleship instead of a hauler, but I dislike the playstyle of it.

Also, what the hell is a Sturville?

Scarab all around is my favorite since it's easy to acquire and can still wreck havoc throughout the entire storyline.

Barracuda is my 2nd since it prints money for merchant guild missions. Once I got all the money I wanted though for equipment I went back to my Scarab oddly enough.

For me its the other way around, I loved the scarab, all ther turrets can fire forward, a real badass, but the agility and the look of the barracuda fascinated me when i first saw it at an asteriod belt, early in the game and i was like, I get that ship and I will not change it. Well from my 24h gameplay around 20 hours was with that ship and i finished the story with it as well, even found a few blindspots on capital ships with it, where they can't shoot or only 1 or 2 turrets can shoot you while all my turrets shoot him slowly down.

Polaris for life. I can't stand slow things. yes it's 'slow' but it has so much fire power but remains minuverible with the addition of turning thrusters upgrade. This allows me to out turn enemies of the same size. I use this to my advantage by turning to my other sides once the one facing the enemy loses sheilding.

Merc ship that is a little larger than the Barracuda with similar speed and turn.

The Minotaur is a capable ship. Needs great defenses in place however, since she's easy for enemies to hit.

Unfortunately I think the best progression for the game is to find a early-to-midgame ship that is fast, and pump up all of it's components to the best possible (MKv/vi). Then when you're nearly endgame, you can consider dumping money into better/larger hulls. There's just no ROI (return on investment) when you buy a large hull - smaller hulls do every bit as well if you can keep up with enemy shield regen for damage output.

I am on the team polaris. Awesome firepower with maneuverabilitiy, nice turret slots.

[TheNilar]

Arcturus is my new favorite ship

I just love the look of it. It also reminds me of one of the ships from I-War 1/2.

Ok, so I've finally decided what my favourite ship is now........and it's not one you can actually fly


It's the Red Devil's Savage Horizon.

That ship looks so badass. Really hope that becomes a playable ship at somepoint as would love to fly that.

[BigEasyh]

For me, the ultimate ship is the radovich. now i know you all think "why would i drive a space truck" but with 8 turrets and 8 broadsides and being one of the fastest shipin the game ive been completely sold on it

[Orriban]

I recently bought the Minotaur (Merc Guild Destroyer) and it's got everything I want for how I play. Decent hold size, tough enough to fight through most stuff, fast enough to get away from everything else.

On my next play through I am going to try to stay with just the Barracuda through the whole game. Absolutely love that ship's aesthetics and going fast is super fun.

Yup, have done that. It's not of the ships they offer you. Wish it was though.

Rasputin all the way! It's a noice ship!
