I've only played up through SO2, but here're my votes: Ka On Lee (ko...@chat.carleton.ca) wrote: : > FAVE SHIP: : WC1- Raptor - Good firepower and fire rate. Most of the time - YES!!! On one or two missions, tho, the extra speed of the Rapier pays off. : WC2- Also Sabre - firepower, with the Morning Star a close second. No way. Morning Star has roughly equal shields, better weapons (I like machine-gun rates of fire) and more manuverability. Smokes Sabres with ease. Compare the missions in SO2 vs. the 2 Fralthras (Guarded, in my version, by 3 "Sabres" that fire and fly like Morning Stars) vs. the mission against Ayers Rock, Guarded by 5-6 real Sabres - the first is MUCH harder than the second. Plus, the Morning Star has got a nuke. : WORST SHIP: : WC1 - Hornet - poor gun. Scimm. Slow, and the guns/armor don't make up for the fat it flies like a dead pig. : WC2 - Epee - good gun but almost no armor. Gotta agree. Someone else vilified the Crossbow, and I have to retort by saying that the Crossbow was 10x better than the Broadsword, and no way was it the "worst." : > FAVE WINGMAN (choose by character & performance): : WC1 - Maniac(!) - aggressive. Knight - he flew okay, and didn't take your kills. : WC2 - Hobbes - aggressive and follow order. No preference - they all sucked. : > FAVE CHARACTER (because you enjoy their dialogue): : WC# - everyone : FAVE Capital ship : Concordia The 'Claw - Concordia didn't make any sense, as in the pictures you were shown of it didn't seem to reflect a real object. Plus, the 'Claw was the original! : Easiest emeny fighter: : WC1 - Dralthi I - poor gun and armor, big. Yep. Slow, too. : WC2 - Draithi - only 3 lasers? Gotta go with the Jalkehi - it's big, it's slow, it's dead meat. Just duck under the initial barrage, and pump its nose full o' particle beams. Just in case I screwed up the spelling (all the damn Kilrathi ships have similar, unfamiliar names) these are the 2nd heaviest fighters, just behind the Grikath things. : Toughest enemy fighter: : WC1 - (forgot the name) the one that have two laser and two mass driver. Hriss. Well, actually the Rapiers you fly against, but Hriss are the hardest "Kilrathi" ships. : WC2 - Thrakhath's fighter, and the one introduced in SO1. Gothris. Well, actually the Morning Stars you fly against, but Gothris are the hardest "Kilrathi" ships. Mike
