Best and worst warships

[DanQZ]

I know that the general community says that Kestrels, Bactrians, and Shield Beetles are the best, but what do you guys think are the worst, or have any ships that are more cost efficient than the three I listed?

There are no best and worst ships, it really does come down to preference and playstyle for everything.

That said, excluding higher tier ships (Alien ships, but including the hai)
The math says:
Star Barges are the absolute best ship in the game for trade, with standard freighters coming in a close second
Sparrows are the absolute best combat ship in the game (when used in swarms)

Logic dictates:
The best tank ship is the shield beetle, because it can take a hit.
The best persuit ship is the Kestrel
The best flagship is the Bactrian

Personal preference:
I personally adore Behemoths and Clippers. Clippers are, well, pretty standard along this type of game. Fast, combat ready, agile transports. Think your navy cutter, your YT series transport, etc.

Leviathans can fill the role of Shield Beetles
Falcons can kinda fill the role of kestrels
Behemoths would make great flagships if not for Bactrians

For the worst ships:
Many would argue that the Star Queen is the "Worst" ship in the game, and rightly so. It is far from cost effective and not exactly useful. Although it has a tiny bit of a cult following (enough for sinsling and I to suggest upgrading it.) The math would agree

I personally argue for the protector being the worst ship in the game. unlike its vanguard counterpart, the protector has zero actual use in the game. its too fat to be made of wet paper like it is. I guess if you threw nothing but skylances and shield gens onto it, and give it its best possible engines, it might work

Bactrian is hands down the best. You may say star beetles can take more of a hit. Well 2 Quarg shield generators says Bactrians also can. (Quarg shield gens are better than system cores. Why? Much better shield regen and the hull repair is very gimmicy. Yeah cool you can repair you hull which is only useful if your hull is going to be taking a lot of hits, which is solved by using quarg gens. If your fighting Kor se- idfk which Kor has the shield pierce I guess maybe but the repair is so slow...)
Oh also a tip, don't put 5 Skylances on a Bactrian, 4 max. 5 just drains power way to fast

Yeah but shield beetles have almost 2x the amount of shields that bactrians have. Shield regen is almost useless in a fight vs an equally firepower matched ship.

[Wolvzer]

No guys Super Carrier is best ship because 24 drones and 16 fighters.
You can literaly throw money at people to death.

Vanilla only should be implied. lol
