Sorta depends on who you ask but alot seem to like the X Battleship.

I like the Terran Cruiser. It's fast, turns well and you can add rather good armor and shields to it. I like heavy forward weaponry and manauverable ships. Also Abbidon Cruiser 2 isn't so bad. The Xiati battleship looks also interesting but firing from side isn't exactly my way of figting.

From my creations I like Monarch the most.

And I definatly like the primary weapon Ive given to it

Oh wait, did I just let something slip there

I tend to enjoy the Xaiti Battleship III. Using a swaggering style flying, I can keep an almost continous braage of fire against an enemy. Not to mention, I can easily keep my *** covered - a serious weak point on terran ships.

My favorite is definitely the Xiati Battleship III. Without trouble, I can destroy nearly any other ship (or base for that matter) that happens to come along. The only time I have trouble is when I come up against another Xiati Battleship!!

Xiati Battleship III for me too. I've outfitted her with the best Emmissive armor I can get and forgo shields almost completely. Throughout the game, I build up my armor repair skill and have fun! Tachyon Cannons all the way around with Quantum Torpedos. Nothing beats flying straight into a group of enemy ships and with one hand on the weapon slots and the other on the target selecter, I let 'er fly and watch beautiful yellow beams of death bLast from everywhere cutting things appart as I bLast right on through. Add some enemy fighers so my PDC's have something to do and my PC's vid card has a hard time keeping up.

Wow. What a rush.

For me the Abbidon battleship III, I like how it can fire both front and back. Also I like how strong my shields are, I don't worry about moving around astroids I just go through them

Ditto with Mr.Sefter! Abbidon all the way. Tachyon cannons around me. But... for heavier weapons I have to go with the plasma torpedo's. Mianly because the quantum and the plasma torpedo are sooooo close in damage they out do each other some way. If you use the plasma torpedo(40kt) vs.the quantum torpedo(50kt) you will save space. Lets say 20kt, that allows more other componets you could put on!
