Default What Ship Sets Do You Use Most

I am only going to list 6 of them, and if you vote for 6, please post what set it is. Thanks.

Depends: If I am playing a "regular" game, then a mix...mostly one of my own design.

But since i am testing the B5 mod....

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?)

I usually use the Neo-Canadian ship set for my own empire.

Not to take anything away from any of the other great sets, but the colors, shapes and proportions of these ship designs I found particularly attractive.

However, since I'm not an artist, what do I know?

I am surprised to see that no one is using the Star Wars shipsets, although I only put them in my games so I can destroy the Empire!!

I picked #6 - I use a variety of shipsets but mostly custom shipsets that other people make.

Several of the standard SE IV shipsets are excellent as far as I am concerned, and I've always used those. The Amon Krie, Cue Cappa, Jraenar, and Norak are all nicely detailed and yet also thematically consistent. The Abiddon and Phong are also pretty good. Some of the 'third party' shipsets are also very nice but I've not wanted to add to my burden of updating AI files until recently.

Yes indeed they are. In fact, I have even made Posts on how good they really are and how much I like them.
