Which shipsets are the best?

I think I have most of the shipsets that are available. Which ones are the best to use in any mod? I've always like the Spacesharks, but I don't like them breathing methane, so I change that to oxygen.

I have been using the Nostropholo for about a year now.

Things I like about them.

1. the yellow on the map is so easy to find and look at.

2. big bug eyes. Yep their cool

3. cool ships... goes with out saying...

There is no "best shipset." It is entirely a matter of personal preference.

perhaps you could state your preference

p.s. i love these threads and then doing a search on the older ones and comparing how people's tastes have changed over the years....

NOt that I have a preference, but I was just wandering what everyone thinks is the best shipset, or the ones they use the most often. With over 250+ sets to choose from, it's kind of hard to figure out which ones are best to play with in the many mods that are out there. I was just hoping to get an idea of what to play. I know that when you're playing a race, the data doesn't really count, because you're playing to your particular taste. But which ones would also be opponents to play against? They don't have to be the best looking sets in the world, either.

Oh, you mean AI strength, not prettiness of the pictures. That makes a big difference.

Most of the best AIs are in the TDM Modpack. If you want to see which are the strongest, look for the AI Death Match threads by Master Belisaurius, which had AIs compteting against each other, and see which ones came out on top.
