Escape Velocity Ship Poll

As you can plainly see, the Rebel Cruiser is winning by a long shot. Rebels rule!

P.S. Wow! 100th post on this topic!

Millennium. Its coming, prepare for it.
Coming to the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSW.com/games/ev/chronicles.html")EV Chronicles(/url).

I would have to say Kestrel. I haven't played EV in a while due to a broken Mac but back in the good ole' days, my Kestrel was my bestest pal, we rocked the galaxy together <sniff>. Parting is such sweet sorrow, or something.

Oh well.

By the way...this was a good idea Nova6, keep up the good work. 🙂

Defender? I can't believe you chose it. It certainly can't be for power, can it? A few shots with a laser cannon and the pilot is breathing vaccum(unless he has an escape pod).

Speaking of escape pods, has anyone ever blown up Matt Burch? He sends out an escape pod if you do(and so does Andrew Welch, for that matter).

If he likes it he likes it. Besides, it does look cool.

Yeah, it does look cool(one of the coolest actually). And I certainly have nothing against anyone who likes Defenders. That's just not the way I do things. All I meant is that one is trying to play EV with a Defender, there are much better ways of doing things, and statistically, the Defender ranks really low(right above Shuttle and Hawk).
Actually, I don't know what Hawks have, they may be better.

Sorry to make two posts where one would have done, but I couldn't help noticing no votes for the shuttlecraft(big surprise there, eh?).

That's all.

A pair of missiles and two laser cannons.

I like the `vette.

That places it higher than the Defender in my books.

I never had a corvette...are they any good? The Kestrel could dominate over everything, and I just remembered the Lightning fighters. Oh, but those little guys were helpful. They were as annoying as all get out! They should be called "Mosquito" or "Gnat" or "Pest" or something like that. Then bam! back into the cargo bay they go. And anytime someone else's Lightning flies by, just disable it and voila, a new fighter. Those were the days...

if only confed cruisers came in a bay...

...oh wait, they do. Once I made a plug with Confed Cruiser bays, I installed them in a Clipper or something small like that and these giant cruisers came out of my tiny ship. THAT was cool.

  • keeping up, Rogan, and passin you too! *

I tried playing EV with a Defender once, I got stuck in the Sol system with no fuel and no one would help me because I was there enemy. I never bought a Defender again.

Yeah, I tried a Defender once too, with disastrous results. Any enemies I had destroyed me within seconds.

Down with the Confederate garbage! May the Rebellion live forever!

Confed Cruiser. With some upgrading and outfitting it can become almost unstoppable.

------------------
No one is listening until you make a mistake.

I really don't remember whether or not I voted, so here goes...

1 Vote for the Hawk!

That ship rules! I only played it in a plug I made, but it was a really cool ship. (the only change the plug made was to allow the Hawk to be buyable). They're pretty fast, and with the speed upgrades they don't have to worry about most turrets because they miss you as you fly by. With the various and sundreous upgrades, it makes an awesome fighter! course, it isn't great capital ship or cargo vessel, but who's counting? heehee...

Matt Burch is almost impossible to beat- even the Forklift doesn't hurt him- he has piles of cash, though- but if you kill him, he'll get revenge...

I ask you to look both ways- for the road to the atom leads through the stars, and the road to the stars leads through the atom.
