Which Custom Ships/Fleets do you use the most?

TheBlueEcho · Post by **TheBlueEcho** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 7:57 am

I'm New to this game and since i got it I liked it a lot. So after I played career for a while, I went to the sandbox, only to find that the sandbox is quite lonely without some custom ships. So I came here to find some, and found a truckload. I mean I could download them all(because of there small file size), but thats a lot of time spent downloading. So I thought I would ask the community which ones they use the most, or like to fight often.

The best fleets, in my opinion, are by these people, in alphabetical order:

Aralonia (lole)
Arcalane
Lizzie
Anna

Everything else I haven't tried yet or is crap in my opinion. (And I have strong opinions. And there's much I haven't tried.)

Also, for single ships, Novercalis' Star Destroyer is AMAZING.

Those which include ships that don't take 30+ minutes to destroy.

Seconded all of these. Although I don't much like Lizzie's ships personally, there's nothing wrong with them. They're very well designed. Also High Comedy's ships and Mjolnir's ships are fairly well made, and well worth having a look at.

Also: All my ships (except for my most recent one) can be downloaded from one handy zip folder.

Edit: Also, I must be fucking blind, 'cause I can't find any links to your ships, Aralonia. Where would I look for those?

Lizzie and her War Clockwork ships are just sick. Their great to fight against, they really make you think about how your designing ships.

I havn't played against any of the other people's ships, so I can't give an opinion.

I think Seraph's ships are most definately the most aethsetically pleasing. They are all works of art. But I can never test them on any ships I am building, beacuse they are all so powerful (the Antelope got killed by the Comet one time, I ramped up missile damage considerably and it never happened again...)

I only just DL'd Aralonia's.
I prefer Lizzie's older designs, like the WCW3 and 4, but the new ones are just as functional.
Other than that I just browse the database and grab ships which sound cool and have quite a big file size. Ones I've found that I like are the 'Aganemnon, Manticore, Prometheus, Hierarch (very underpowered) and Metatron'.

My own ships, naturally. >.>

And Natch's. I prefer smaller ships that are balanced to the canon ones.

The Viscount is a great whupping dummy.

Lizzies, Exethalion, Aralonia, Tormak, actually, screw that, most of ya'll do great ships.

Thanks much Atrum! I never cared much for aesthetics, just good old Terran functionality, with no emphasis on a uber-weapon, but lots of conventional ones. The only ship I've done which I think looks vaguely artistic is the Quaestor.

My favorite big ship is http://www.wyrdysm.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=658
Gladiator.
It is very strong, but unlike others, it slowly breaks down and isn't unbalanced.

I have, recently, been trying to tone the Vis' weapon systems down. I've started shifting it back to normal beamers (due to the lower beam duration and smaller beam) and lopped off a couple of the heavier weapons too. I've also started removing impeders from a lot of my ships.

Appearances speak louder than words... let's welcome the Viscount Mk3!

I should polish up the back of it a bit.

ease up on the deflectors

Post by **Arcalane** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 11:08 pm

Shush. I'm working on that. The Mk3 has 91 parts, so 20 deflecs isn't enough to properly protect it from multiple direction assaults.
