Dospect armor and shield generator? Do you have enough room to equip the Azdara with all that and yet keep all your phase guns? I didn't think the Azdara would hold all that...The ship in itself is excellent even without extra outfits.

Yup, you can. I heard of a few other people who have done just that.

You can't. I used to pilot an Azdara on one of my other pilots. I couldn't fit 4 Shield Enhancers, 1 Shield Generator, 5 (or is it 4?) SWIVEL Phase Cannons, and Dospect Armor without cheating. And a mass expansion does no good. 1 Extra Ton won't do much....
Oh, and Skyblade, PLEASE STOP HARASSING THE AZDGARI SO MUCH! They aren't renegades! The renegades would NEVER take so much time in ship building. Renegades are drunken, blood thirsty, credit greedy scum who don't concern themselves with anyone but them. Azdgari work together, and when they work together, fleets of Igazras and fleets of Zidaras fall. Well, with the help of me ofcourse, but you know what I mean.

No....You have that all wrong. The southern human Renegades are actually almost as organized as the Azdgari, but I can't really say the same for the south and north tip strandless renegades. Oh and Stud, check my new story on the Moments of Pride and Accomplishment topic, which I got after searching and searching for a good battle.

Roger that ESPilot!
BTW, I like your new sig!
Actually, this what you can fit on the Azdara:
1 Experimental Shield Generator 1 Swivel Phase Cannon 1 Layer of Dospect Armor
And thats really enough to make it invincible.
Alright, I'll cast my vote.
The Voinian Cruiser with full upgrades overpowers everything in the game, and easily. Currently, I have an escort of 3 Igazras, 2 Azdgari Warships, and a UE Carrier. I am content to rampage through the Crescent, dominating planets at a whim.
I'm just biding my time, waiting for the Empire to crush that pitiful UE scum! (But I have to admit, I do have a soft spot for those UE Fighters ;))

Finally, some one who understands the true supership; the Voinian cruiser. But really, I was waiting for someone to come and help defend the V. Cruiser, it really is THE best ship in the game. And I still don't understand why it says for the description of the Igazra "The Igazra is widely acknowledged to be the most powerful warship in the galaxy" when the Voinian Cruiser is SO much better. A Voinian Frigate could most likely beat the Igazra.

BUT, have you gone up against a Voinian Cruiser with 4 Igazra escorts, 1 Voinian Cruiser escort, 1 Azdgari Warship escort, extra armor, 6 phase turrets, all maneuverability, acceleration, speed upgrades, coming straight at you?

Right now, I own a Igadzra (I just finished the Igadzra mission strings) One Crescent Warship and one Azdgari Warship, which were both captured, two laziras, (also captured) and two Aradas (hired). I've taken over plenty of independent and UE planets, as I gladly carry on the Voinian war effort. (For now, the Voinians are my friends. )
Yup, that's my ship and my little fleet. Just remember that ALL AI ships can be beaten by the player. That doesn't necissarily mean that one ship is better than the other. AI to AI, the Voinian Cruiser can beat ANY Crescent ship ALL the time.

True...But I have never seen a Igadzra and a Voinian Cruiser fight. (AI between AI) Their races are so far apart they never get to fight. The Voinian cruiser would have the advantage with turrets and rockets, but the Igadzra's SAE modules would eat away at the cruiser. Too bad the the Igadzra's phase turrents aren't very effective against Voinian armor...
Believe me, I've tested it, and the Voinian Cruiser whoops the Igazra. And not only that, but SAEs, Dispersal Rockets, and Phase Turrets do almost NOTHING to armor.

You've actually witnessed the two craft fight AI againat AI? Yes, I know an Igadzra's phase weapons can do basically nothing to a Voinian Cruiser, but the Igadzra holds a sharp lead in agility, and it makes the Cruiser look like a Turtle and Snail combined. I like the Voinian cruiser when I'm going around taking worlds, but only then do I put power ahead of speed.
I'm new to the boards, but I've had EV for several months, and I've noticed that different main weaponry will do different things: Phase weapons will rip straight through any kind of shielding, but aren't effective on armor. Blaze weapons are equally effective against shielding and armor, but they have an additional effect of, once being massed that is, stopping incoming fighters like Kraits or Crescent Fighters. Emalgha Cannons aren't good at getting rid of shielding, but they tear through armor quickly. And last of all, Neutron weapons are effective against both armor and shielding but are most effective against armor. This explains why it's so hard to take out Voinian capitol ships with Phase weapons. I'm in a Freight-Courier with 3 blaze turrets and 10 rockets, plus a rocket launcher, and I've avoided as much combat with other ships as possible. But if I'm challenged by something I know I can take on, I'll take it on! (I wouldn't dream of taking on a Voinian Cruiser in my little Freight-Courier, much less any other capitol ship.)
P.S. Has anyone noticed something interesting about my name?
------------------ Aluben: "This is a Freight-Courier we're flying! We can take on a Turncoat easily!"
Oh and, my vote is for the durable, reliable, all around good Freight Courier!
Aluben, you brought up some good points.
First off, no I do not see anything in your name.
Second, why wouldn't you want to take on a big ship in your FC? Just load it up with shield enhancers/generators, armor, weaponry, fuel, and you're set! I fly an Arada, and I've done EVERYTHING in it! Destroy Voinian fleets, destroy crescent fleets, destroy renegade fleets, only a few things stop me, but I've listed them twice on the board already, so I'm sure you know what they are. Never be afraid of ANY ship. Because ANY ship with a smart captain, is the strongest ship in the game. Kraits not included in this statement.
Third, you mentioned phase is good on shields, and emalgha is good on armor. I already knew that, but reading your post gave me an idea. Here's a basic algebra equaiton:
Phase + Emalgha = ?
Phase = Good on Shields Emalgha = Good on Armor
Good on Shields + Good on Armor = MAJOR Attack power?
Has anyone tried this?
I don't think Emalgha+Phase=major firepower, but it's an interesting thought, but I'm sticking with my good ol' blaze turrets. And, as of recently, I took out a Voinian Frigate in my FC, which made my combat rating go up a little. And you can't see anything about my name? Aluben, Nebula. See any connection? Another thing, about any ship being invincible with a smart captain, that's probably true. Too bad AI ships aren't smart enough though ;). I think I'm gonna buy me some Pursuit Missiles and dispy. rockets.
