They don't count unless specifically stated otherwise, as a general rule.

What I'd really like to know is how this poll turned into a bar. 🙂

Note to all
The roll playing needs to stay in its respective posts. Many of us aren't interested in how Jim-bob didn't die because he erected the super-duper, omega, looks like glass, but kicks ass shields that stopped Billy's awesome-missle de' diablo. Please.. many of us don't find it appealing.. go to B&B; if all else fails.. sheesh

Defender!!!!
Defenders Rule
I am always a fast fiset man New Horizon's Chaos, Frozen Heart's Tachyoic fighter ans S-Fighter, EVO's Azdara but most of all the defender. Youu can Monty Python and take out a confed cruiser and it's fighters once you have all the speed upgrades, missile jammer a ramscoop, armour, a cloak, a tractor beam and a particle beam.

Undercover of cloak AWoohahD's upgraded defender enters null space and sneaks up on Cap'n Redeye's Cruiser. He decloaks and skillfully avoiding proton fire beams the confes fighters to slag in seconds the defender fights on it's tri-lasers firing until they overheat and the fuel taks nealy drained AWoohahD gives a final blast of the Particle beam leaving the cruiser disabled, helpless in space after stealing the ship's fuel the defender cloaks, never to be seen again.

My vote goes to the Rapier. Sheilds over speed, baby!

But, the Clipper is the best! You know the Artemus group mission? The end one with all the pirate Kestrals you have to beat? I did that in my good ol' reliable Clipper! I had no escourts, and I never used the Monty Python either! Just my Proton cannons, Proton turret, and javalin rockets! And! I never used a cheat! Just upgraded it, practiced, and killed! In fact, I took over Mars once with that ship! It was kick butt!

Fine, I'll go back. The defender is too weak for me, the Lightning doesn't have enough shields, so I'm still a Rapier flyer.

Umm, 'scuse me? Cheat plug-in? Trust me, that ain't no cheat plug-in. If you ever played Mugabi and Destiny, you know how hard it is to get that final ship, right? Yeah, now imagine stuff like that, only 10x harder, with near-impossible deadlines. Still think it's a cheat plug-in? Uh-uh. There is no cheat in this plug. No sir, zero- Cheat.

Can anyone tell me what movie that's from?

We are the... not saying... hehehe.

I've never played M&D;, no. But regardless, ships and things from plugs of any kind are usually not considered in things like this unless specifically stated otherwise. At least, not very seriously considered. It's also annoying since no one else has a clue what this "Aurora" thing is, and since you don't exactly have to work to claim to have it on a web board.

Good Point.
However, you said "ships from EV," not "ships in EV." There is a difference, however subtle.
As for the liar issue: Well, no duh. A newbie could barge on in and say, "Hey guys, (B)I'm(/I) the real maker of the New Horizons plug!" and no one would be the wiser.
In other words, no-one can trust no-one. Mac, you might be my roommate, for all I know. nah, Jon isn't in to computer gaming much. Then again, I have no idea about yor history, do I Mac... 😉

Of course, ResEdit.
I vote Rapier.

I routinely take out shuttles in my Kestrel. 😄

I know I've already voted, but one more thing - in a rapier, ditch the missiles, and load torpedoes. A properly used torpedo is a wonderful thing, and it's still my favorite weapon. Say for instance you want to disable a Confed VIP transport: fire 1 torpedo. Ship is disabled. Meanwhile you can go kill the escorts with your guns.

Now, you have a Bulk Freighter? (Can you say, "Diphidian missions"?) Fire 2 torpedoes. Ship is disabled.

Torpedoes are so long range you can fire from and reasonable range, and let the torp HAWK the target - (Home All the Way and Kill).

Anyway, lightnings don't have torpedoes.

Cheers,
ElG7

I don't normally fly fighters, I consider my 450 AU Rebel Destroyer about as fighter-ish as I like to go. However, there are some ships I would like to avoid.
Therefore my vote goes to the rapier.
Rapier - Not only does it pack a heavy punch, it has a fair amount of room for upgrades.
Gunboat - I hate fighting this thing, if you are not careful, those heavy rockets will tear you apart. The swarm factor is also a pain.
Lightning - It is weak but still a pain.
Manta - A super Defender, this ship has Defender like speed with more firepower.
Patrol Ship - Weaker than the Manta in my opinion.
Defender - I have no fear for this meak little ship. However, I do respect those who attempt to climb into this rust bucket.
