Woah! I finally got around to registering, so all you wonderful people get to read this post. And you'd better count my vote, too! Or else...I'll be mildly upset! Bum bum BUMMMM I'm also a bit of a rambler, to bear with me, because I love to state my opinion. I've only been playing EVO for two weeks, but even then it was enough to grab the 15 bucks. I'm an oldschool EV player, who's played the classic since it's release date. EVO did not dissipoint me. (I'm also a bad speller, and will probably butcher the Strand names. Sorry.) I also have had little contact with the strand ships, though I've blown up my fair share of them, I really haven't flown them. Normally, my amazingly funny sense of humor would say that the esacpe pod is the best ship. Think about it...blindingly fast, and INVINCABLE. Who needs weapons? Who needs life suppose beyond two hours? Who needs control? Who needs shields, or even armor, for that matter? Come to think about it...maybe I'll post my REAL vote the the UE Cruiser. I've upgraded mine to the point where it's worth more than what I paid for it. The only ship that posed a problem for it was the Dreadnaught. Yet still, it blew up. I've got eight blaze weapons installed on thay baby, five of which are turrets. I can stop any of your fancy-shamcy fighters dead. Plus, my five UE fighters will annoy you while you uselessly pound against my quad-enhanced shields. I don't even need that armor! (Well...I can't GET that armor, because all the V-people...I can't even spell their name right, is scared of my ship.) I've named it, as I name all my ships, the Blockade Runner. Why? Because it sounds cool. Needle missiles and hunter missiles chew into anything long before they come into range of my energy weapons. All three engine upgrades give my ship surprisingly quick response. The seven-system range ensures I can dive deeply into enemy territory, kick the crap out of them, and run back to recharge. Don't even bother with your missiles, my needle jammer and ECM system makes it nearly impossible, when combined with my awesome piloting skills, to hit my with secondary guided weapons. I've destroyed three V cruisers at once, though granted I was well into the armor bar before they died. So that's my vote. Which should count as two, since my wrist now hurts, typing all of this. Bleh.
Then again...without multiplayer support Nudgenudge to Matt we'll never really know...

Escape Pod!? Hehe...I wasn't expecting that. I thought you were going to vote for the krait or something. I'll throw down your vote for the UE Cruiser, and No Refill's vote for the Crescent Warship.

Actually, the Crescent Warship has 11 votes - it was 10 last time, and one more person voted it.
Myself, the Zidara.
------------------ Don't play with changing names: Esponer - 130 posts Paladin - Nearly 100 posts Sylver - 1 posts
The Igazra is the best. It's sort of fast when upgraded and it's very powerful and very tough.

You forgot my ZIDARA vote.
Aw, hell, I'll give one to the UE Carrier! That ship bravely held back the Voinians until the UE Cruiser arrived!

Sorry I forgot to put your vote on the list, Silver Dragon. And I do believe the United Earth Carrier can be an excellent ship properly upgraded, Ghost.
I'll update the last stats report...
My vote goes to the strange asteroid- nobody knows what the hell it is. If I could use it as my ship I would do devious things with it.

Heh. Well, it would make an excellent ship, but I don't think that one counts. Got a ship that you can actually fly that you like?
Skyblade, may I suggest you continue this on another forum?
I did that with Reign of Chaos when it reached 4 pages - when there are too many pages things get confusing and people might not want to say anything, because they would see so many pages and everything - and with a slow internet connection having to switch from page 1 to the latest page can be a bore.
Also, perhaps in the future (when you next make a poll) you should do it like this:
Crescent Warship - 12 <Captain Skyblade, SilverDragon, Entropy, etc.>
That way people don't end up voting twice when there gets to be so much writing that they can't be bothered searching through to see if they've already voted.
well nothing beats the UE cruiser when ts maxed out. not quite as fast as a crescent warship, but more firepower.
on th other hand, the freight-courier is a great ship. i took out an igadzra with it on the nebula exploring mission.
------------------ Geek out.

You're ruining my fun... fine. The Crescent Warship.
