And even the Kestrel is too slow for my tastes. (Underlying this is my
bias: I would rather do my own fighting or running -- not relying on "expendable" fighters.)

I like the Rebel cruiser and I almost never use my mantas. It is fast enough with upgrades to outrun torpidos and even missels if you do it right. What I personaly like to do is get in a defender, upgrade it as much as possible, and fly rings around every other ship in the game. My favorite ship is still the rebel cruiser.

Rebellion ships look awesome, and I perfer them over anything, besides maybe a kestral. The Rebel destroyer is a good ship, and watching one fight a confederate frigate is always a blast...If the frigate happens to win, I always finish him off. 
If I can afford a Rebellion cruiser, though, I get rid of my destroyer and go for the cruiser.
Long live the rebellion!!!

Shuttlecraft, armed with three laser cannons and equipped with a missile jammer. You can take on any ship with it. No, really.

The game is more challenging when you play it with a slow ship, but more fun when you play it with a fast ship.
And I'd have to say that the Confed Patrol Ship is one of the worst combat ships in the game that is intended for combat.

Wait a second...
Fighter: Lightning.
Crusier: Rebel Crusier (or in civilian life an upgraded Corvette)
Freighter: Argosy.
My fauvorite of all the classes, (the one you can put on the status posts) is the Argosy anyway, beacuse it can haul some cargo, and fight when it needs to. With a bit upgrades it makes a very comfortable ship for me, as I do enjoy a trading career instead of a military one.

I like the Hawk, too...It is a good light fighter. It looks really awesome...Ambrosia apparently thought so, also, since they used it as the icon for Escape Velocity.

P.S. Try not to use too many smiley faces and everything else that relates to them. The moderators don't like posts with tons of faces.

I would have to say a stolen, upgraded, and modified Confed Cruiser. Yeah the Feds' are evil, but their ships kick a**.

Good pic, and welcome to the boards!

Kestrel. When properly outfitted with RCS Upgrades and Thrust Enhancements. The fact that it carries 2 (sometimes 3 )Lightnings akes it even better.

I would have to say the Rebel Cruiser is the best, in its balance of power, sheilds, and speed, but the Kestrel is the best for appearances.
And I agree, it is to bad you don't get it until their's no one left to kill.

Hehe...Alright, I'll update the last stats report with your vote for the Rebel Cruiser.

I think the Event Horizon is the best ship.
