Well, if the ions dissipate, you won't have much Lightning any more, so you'll want to switch.

No, then we Lightning fans will be all the more proud to be the underdog.

But there won't be any Lightning, so we wouldn't care if you still liked it. You couldn't vote for something that didn't exist.

"You sure about that?" Skyblade questions as he destroys Mac's sluggish Rapier to powder with his swift Lightning.

That works in an AI/AI battle, but human/human, you'd have a much tougher time sinking any Missiles on me through my Missile Jammer.

"Yeap, you're probably right."

Well, the only fighter I've ever flown was a Defender, in my newbie days. I found out from experience how bad a ship it is at everything but speed and maneuverability (sp?).
So, I vote for the Lightning because of its supreme toughness up close. I rely on my primaries, and those lightnings with their speed and heavy rockets (a lethal combo) can be real b****es.
------------------
May those who love us, love us. And those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts. And if he doesn't turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so we'll know them by their limping.
Poor old defender....If only the AI were better pilots...

Human vs. human, Lightning vs. Rapier? What sort of human player uses missiles? I just equip proton cannons and buy upgrades...
...ah, well. Anyway...
Captain Skyblade, yeah right, you didn't know you had 6000+ posts. Now, has anyone noticed he makes these sub-totals at every single opportunity? I'll bet you he has a 1000 posts of poll sub-totals!
Esponer
PS: And it's either Esponer or SD, Captain Skyblade. Dragon's someone else.
------------------
Word.
I'd have to say Lightning, just to tip the balance against the 'bad' fighter. (Stupid Rapier...)

I consider the Rapier and Lightning about equally capable, although for different purposes. Since the Rapier is currently behind, I'll vote for it.

Errr, where did I say I didn't know I had 6000 posts? I remember weeks back someone said I had reached that mark and I didn't know it, but that's because I was at 6001. I'm now fully aware of the matter. But get it straight: the numbers don't matter...
Also, I'd like to know why you suddenly decided to take a ship dicussion into an attack against my dumb post count? Now that I think of it, are you jealous or something?
I just like to keep people updated, rather than make polls a confusing topic. Think twice before cutting into a discussion like this next time. Deal?

Ton for ton, the Rapier rocks against the Lightning.
------------------
"Thank you, thank you. Now you're all under arrest!"
Rapier all the way! The lightning is a fearsome fighter, but if you have several rapiers as escorts, you can take anything on, as opposed to losing several lightnings against a tough target. The Lightning gains a tough reputation as the game begins, as all the descriptions involving it are that it is a super fighter that can take anything on.
