Favorite/Least Favorite Shipset Poll

[PvK]

In reviewing these, I notice that the Praetorians actually have a separate baseship image in Gold! Neat!

Interesting, Baron, to hear some different appraisals than I might give, in some cases. After inheriting the Ukra Tal in our test Gold PBW game, I actually got to like that ship set pretty well. Some of the ships are pretty flat and omelette-y and homely, and I guess it may not've required a lot of technical skill, I admit, but I do like the battleship, space station, battlestation, destroyer, starbase, and the portrait.

I think I prefer the Ukra Tal to the Xi Chung.

I like a lot of the Cue Cappa, but I don't particularly like the main warships, although that's personal preference rather than thinking they're not well done (they are). I fill similarly about the Krill and Abbidon (well done, but I don't really relate to their warships).

I actually like the Sallega, but think the mini images are too small - the small ships are nearly invisible on the starfield.

After checking out the sets on The USy page, though, I think there are a few that are at least as good as even the best ones that come with the game. At least, to my own tastes.

Some of the nicer ones on that page: Angellicans, Vidrihne, Darlok, Federal Union, Gryphon Sector, House of Aleskander, Nloam, Nostropholo, Pacea One, Rintax, Aquilaean, Tlaxcalan, United Flora, and some others seem more or less top rate to me, and I'd prefer all of those to playing the Cue Cappa or Xi Chung.

Well, enough sharing of tastes... back to work...
