Your favirote ship and why?

[it depends]

Xiati BB III.

The 180 degree firing arc is cheating in my opinion, seeing as how no other ship I flew had it. With the 90 degree and a little skill in wiggling, my broadsides are forward firing, not requiring me to come about, and from the same position, I can simply lock onto a ship behind me, and just hit the weapon bank occasionally until it's in range, destroying it without ever seeing after establishing lock. My PD makes short work of the incoming fighters, and since i like them thar Bio-weapons, no major ship can Last long enough to chew through my 4 digit shielding, unless he has at least 3 big friends. I didn;t have much luck with the null-space dmg vs. weight though. Felt like thiers hit harder than mine did,

It's all about staying head on, guns blazing. I'm nearly done with the 3rd campaign.

Not sure if any of do this, but I realized it half way through the second campaign. You DON'T need all your engines. Heh. I only use 6 engines and I still go 600. Once you get engines with 900 propulsion, ditch 3 of them for extra space.
