No, I meant Rebel Carrier.
So, here is the unofficial score, 'cause I'm too lazy to count 'em:
Rebel Destroyer: A lot of votes Confed Frigate: No votes Kestrel: Some votes Carrier: No votes, 'cause you all thought I meant cruiser but I didn't.
Mac: Ow, that hurts!

Therefore, the Kestrel is better.

Hmm...I used to think like that, before I realised that the Rebel Destroyer was just a LITTLE too insanely fast to pass by. Sex may be good, but when you're lying around dead because you weren't fast enough to evade the missiles, you'll envy the guy who's flying around in a Rebel Destroyer getting sex every two days instead of every day.
Meh...it depends on my mood, really. But still, the Kestrel rocks, and the Rebel Destroyer rocks, but personally, I think (at the moment) that the Lightning rocks more.

Rebel Destroyer.
I only wish EV would have the occasional pirate in a captured Rebel Cruiser or Confed Cruiser (And sure. Give 'em speed upgrades.). Then everybody would have the chance to prove how the Destroyer's superior maneuverability and speed outclasses the mega fire-power of the Cruisers. (I wonder if that's worth a plug in?)

Of course, Go Kestrel! Mr. Moose stuffs the ballot box with Kestrel votes and then decided that he screwed up his ballot ** s** and must redo it ( them ).
Note: The part of this post is important is in bold.

Easy enough to make a second shďp resource using the same sprites.

Yeah, but that means you might very well hit the ship limit, which we don't want. That's why, methinks, EV:O doesn't have a special Azdgari Warship for this, and a special something else for, well, something else, etc.

EV only has about 40 unused shďp slots... That kind of plug would take only about a half dozen. I don't think that would be a large hardship.

Isn't 36 the limit of ships, Macavenger? And anyway, if you put me near the idea of new ships for pers, I would use way more than 36, or 40, or whatever.
Oh, and by the way, Macavenger, you certainly grew a lot, but remember, you may have lots of posts and karma, but I remember you as a kid.
Originally posted by SilverDragon: Isn't 36 the limit of ships?
36 is the maximum number of ships in a system at a single time. Unless I missed something while scanning the posts, he's talking about the number of open shďp resources left in the stock game (don't forget about the "cheap" Kestrel; replace that one, and you have an extra slot).

Don't worry, I was thinking about the open shďp resources too, but I just didn't know the number - and what is it anyway?
Originally posted by dudz: **Kestrel? isn't that the weak black ship? funny thing is it always attack me when i see me, but i always win because i got the bigest, slowest ship in the game.
The heaviest ship in the game is the Confed Cruiser, the longest ship in the game is the Rebel Cruiser, and the slowest ship in the game is the Bulk Freighter. Problem?

You wouldn't need way more than 40. To just add some captured gov ships as pirates with speed enhancements, just make a new gov version of the ship with some extra speed and stuff, and add weapons through the përs resource. Even if you made some for modified civvie stuff too, that would only take around 20 new përss.
Oh, and by the way, Macavenger, you certainly grew a lot, but remember, you may have lots of posts and karma, but I remember you as a kid. ;)**
Like that stuff matters? I've actually been around about a month longer than my register date would indicate, though I only posted once or twice in that period. Unless you had another name or were unregistered for a while, you really haven't been around much longer.
That's also an interesting statement for someone who's a couple of years younger than I, from what I understand.

Of course it doesn't matter, I was joking. And yeah, I'm about a month older than my reg.date suggests, since I started off using "Esponer". But I ~have~ been around longer, and it's interesting seeing someone who was once "new" now seeming to be one of the EV forum's veterans.
And, by the way, how old would you be?
Newbies arguing about who's been here longer... :rolleyes: like I haven't seen that before.

'Espy' is short for 'Esponer', which was SilverDragon's screen name when he first came to these boards.

Yes, "wtf," "dos," "tha," and "u" are common English. "Espy," however, is absurd!
