I've decided to hold a contest to see which ship is the most powerful. All you have to do to enter is say which ship you think is most powerful and why so think so. If you can provide any specific specs, that would be really good. I guess it would be okay if you made up your own type of ship, but don't make it especially for this contest (i.e. so powerfu; that it would be completely impossible to build). After a week or two, I will look through all of the entries and judge which one I think is the best. Good luck.

Actually the only accurate way to do this would be constant head-to-head testing over the net. Otherwise, if you just take votes, and pick from that without tallying, then the results are going to be biased. Link up with Vegeta on GameRanger and try it out. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to do it.

My experience has been in most circumstances the Sal carrier is the toughest, but a detachment of cruisers and gunships could take it out. There's a whole shpiel on this at (url="http://"http://www.Axis.n3.net/")http://www.Axis.n3.net/(/url)

Three things.

First, this isn't really a contest, it's more of a survey or poll.

Second, this "contest" would mean a lot more if it were a "bang for buck" questionare. In other words, what ships are cheapest to build and provide the greatest firepower?

Thrid, this, and other "contests" like it that have been rendered void due to the fact that each ship has set values in terms of firepower. One could theoretically come up with a formula to judge ships buy, and would have definitive results based on real data, instead of the vague opinions of some mish-mash of Ares players.

If, by the way, you don't know what I mean by "set values", click and hold down on ship illustrations during mission briefings, and you will see what I'm talking about.

It's impossible to say wich ship is the best, like the salrillian carrier can be taken out in a snap by a destroyer, but the destroyer can be taken out by a well, piloted fighter (it just takes about a year to do so) and so on. You could ask what ships people like and why but really, you arent going to beat an Auedemadon carrier really... With any lone ship.

Yes you can. A HVD well piloted can do that easy (I'm pretty sure). An Aud (b)Gateship{/b)...

Any ship with a range longer than the Trazer beam and with decent turn rates (Sal Gunship, basically any HVD, even some carriers,) can take one out easily. OF course, my favorate ship for this is the Eleejeetan Cruiser (but who doesn't love it?)

I'm with you there, Newt. The Eleejeetians sure do know how to make good ships. My only complaint is that we don't get to make any. Grrr...
