Re: Your favirote ship and why?
Maybe I should add that I've slightly modded the ships. I found it ridiculous that all ships of the same class have identical speed and maneuverability, yet having vastly different size and weight.
The slowest destroyer will still outrun the fastest cruiser, the slowest cruiser will outrun the fastest battle ship, but in the classes there is a range. I used the MK II Versions as an average and made MK I slower and MK III faster. I applied my MK II stats to all AI ships as well. Last not least, I slowed the carriers down.
So in my game, the Xiati battleship III has a top speed of 640 and a base turn rate of 11 (being the lightest), while the Abbidon battleship III runs 600 with turn rate 9. Terran one is in the middle with 620/10. MK III Carriers start at speed 540, turn rate 8, acceleration 4.
With that mod, you cannot use a carrier as a battleship. Real battleships will outgun and outrun you. Massive fighter use is necessary, as it should be, IMHO.
