Voted #6.
What I use alternates; I'm the sort who likes to have different races to play at different times, and I like to find a shipset that "fits" the race in question.
For gas-giant HW races, I like the Sonne and Vidrhinne (?sp) shipsets; both are beutiful IMO.
I most often use the Angelic Alliance or Gryphon Sector shipsets for more-standard empire types.
The SEOR fleet, to me, kind've "fits" a Temporal-tech race rather well (especially with the "Gray" style race portrait!
).
Other shipsets I've liked are the Son'a Command set, the Gtkk, the Praetorian, and the Paceans.
...
Well, that's an entire
stable of them. If I had to pick, say, two Favorites (gas-giant empire and non-gas-giant empire), I'd have to pick the Vidrhinne and Regency sets, respectively.
In general, I suppose I like to use various different sets from time to time; the variation in look from empire to empire is a nice change IMO.
...
What I find truly nice is, the shipsets created by
fans are, in general, superior to those thatc ome with the game. The fact that these are made
for other fans to use freely is just great ... the SE4 community continues to impress me with it's generosity to each other, with each passing day.
(again, edit for UBBcode error, jeeze, I'm fat-fingered tonight, eh?)
