I've just realised that completely open polls aren't really that fair, as many vote
for the larger warships and ignore things like freighters and fighters.
So I'm opening 3 different polls for a) fighters, freighters and c) warships.

The Arada can be placed in any category.

-------------------------

This poll is for warships. Here is the list of ships you can vote for, just so you understand:

Turncoat
UE Destroyer
UE Carrier
UE Cruiser
Voinian Frigate
Voinian Cruiser
Emalgha Warship
Upgraded Arada
Igadzra Arada
Crescent Warship
Lazira
Igazra
Zidara
Azdgari Warship

Note that some ships have appeared in the fighters section too.

Feel free to vote.

All points considered, the (url="http://"http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~dsghosh/evosite/shipyard4.html#zidara")Zidara(/url) gets my vote. I'll probably be alone; see the link above for some justification.

Zidara - 2

I'm agreeing with you. I love the Zidara. It's fast and powerful, and has a good
visual too.

Snap. Although it could use a little more space.

Crescent Warship.

UE Crusier, easiest ship to upgrade.

Elmalgha Warship!

Hm....UE Destroyer/CW has my vote....put me down for both.

Time of Death: ?, ship's name: U.E.S. Relentless, Combat Rating: Deadly.

Zidara!

It isn't on the list, but UE Dreadnuaght. But if it has to be on the list, UE Cruiser all the way.

Also, the arada as a freighter? I didn't think it had that much space.

Hmmm...A tough choice between the UE Destroyer and Crescent Warship, but I'm going to go with the UE Destroyer.

Zidara

UE Cruiser, mine's upgraded to near invincibility, and I just like human ships, for some reason.

The last time I was on this board, the price of dumb questions was really high.
Ask me what I'm doing.

Zidara.

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Big Brother is watching you.

i dont know maybe u missed it, but the Igazra isn't on your list, which is a major warship.

Other than that, the Zidara gets my vote aswell.

(This message has been edited by ChaosSock (edited 04-05-2001).)

The Igazra is on the list, and always has been.

And the ".5"s are there when somebody votes twice.

The UE Dreadnought isn't included as it is too powerful, and the same for the Voinian
Dreadnought. Someone could make a "Dreadnought Poll" if they want, but these ships
are in a different class altogether.

Zidara - 6
UE Cruiser - 3
UE Destroyer - 1.5
Crescent Warship - 1.5
Emalgha Warship - 1
Igazra - 1

FULL LIST:
Turncoat
UE Destroyer - 1.5
UE Carrier

Voinian Cruiser
Emalgha Warship - 1
Upgraded Arada
Igadzra Arada
Crescent Warship -1.5

Does anybody mind if I vote as Jade? (my being SilverDragon also)

Don't worry, Jade has a different, made up, personality.

I vote for the Azdgari Warship. With the Azdara bay it is easily a match for the
Igazra - I've seen Azdgari Warships beat the Igazra without losing many fighters
and with shields at 43% by the end. And no editing, or plugins, either.

Igazra is by far my favorite warship.

Voinian Cruiser. It IS invincible, even UE Cruisers cannot take down a well upgraded V Cruiser. In fact, I've taken on MULTIPLE UE Cruisers at a time and always won.

Ditto. Definately a Voinian Cruiser for me.
