So what is Your favorite capital ship in the mod?

[PhoenixC279]

Ok, had to ask this question. What capital ship is everyone's favorite in the the mod? Feel free to also state why
And by capital ship I mean by the actual definition of capital warship. I.E. Gunboat and up. Though please no SSDs.
Anyway, my own favorite is the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer, which just happens to be my favorite Star Wars ship. Mostly because its by far the most beautiful Star Destroyer ever

Imperator II-class Star Destroyer
I love it because it keeps the classic SD look while packing a greater punch.

I can understand that, I really like the ISD2 as well. Though the Tector-Class is my favorite in the Imperial Line

I'll have to go with the Phalanx i'm more scared of it than a SSD.

Venator.  In it's day, it was incredibly powerful, and packed a massive fighter/bomber punch.  ANd it's just so beautiful.

[Pali]

MC80b.  Purely because having played the NR so much, almost always starting in era 1 in a multi-era campaign, and relying so heavily on this orange arrowhead has forced me to love it.  It's even the main cap ship in my Ascendancy fleets.

The modified custom one of a kind Executor class SSD Night Hammer

I have several favorites, but narrowing it down to each faction

NR: Endurance-class fleet carrier. Beautiful ship, IMO one of the best looking in the game. Only wish it brought a bit more to the table for its population points (either more fighters launched at a time or a special ability of some type).
EotH: the whole Sycan line of capitals (Phalanx-Syndic-Kariek), but I really like the Kariek. It's pint-sized and packs a punch, has some anti-light frigate abilities and anti-fighter.
PA: Praetor. I don't even really build ISDs for my PA fleets. Just a Praetor to anchor my carriers and corvettes around, and some Vics to provide support. They have it all: hard hitting, long range (practically a space artillery unit when it comes to range), decent fighter complement.
IR: Crimson Command VSDs. Fast, heavily armed. Practically an ISD on a faster frame and with concentrate firepower. And it's red.

If there would be a dark green ship that would be my favorite.

Praetor II all the way. I get to start shooting early enough to destroy a few frigates, not to mention that they are both beautiful and terrifying to behold. And unlike a SSD I can have 4 of them out at once.

Yes. Praetors both look and are amazing. The long range is what's so great about them: basically like a space artillery unit, back them up with IPVs and carriers and they're nigh untouchable. Can't wait for Bellators though (and Gladiators, but that's just because I'm weird lol).

[PhoenixC279]

Well, Revanchist, i present you Tector-Lancer-Carrack spam, or in case its not available, ISD2-lancer-carrack. Hihi.
But anyway i see your point

Well yeah obviously that's an issue but the AI never does that in my games. Just spams MTCs if it can.

[tlmiller]

Yeah, what is it with MTC spam?  They're one of the most useless units the IR gets in any era, they have almost no offensive capability, ridiculously week shields, and carry no bombers.  WHY would it spam THEM?

[Revanchist]

IDK. I like them better than standard escort carriers in Era 3 (because with all the heavy firepower Palp and Co bring in bombers aren't terribly necessary), but Era 4 and 5 I'd rather use Acclamators.

[PhoenixC279]

Well. I think that its the same reason that they spam sacheens

[Revanchist]

Lol and Marauder Corvettes. Just killed 63 of those plus 32 Sacheens on my PA FTGU.

[kucsidave]

Huh... Petroglyph AI...
I love it when it tries to take a planet again... and again for about 100 times with largely the same forces. And I stop them with 1 space station, 2 golans and a Hypervelocity gun

[Mat8876]

It's true the ai is rubbish.

I've taken out SSD + supporting fleet out with a Light frigate shipyard 2 golans I's and an ion cannon.

And if their lucky I can lose a Golan.

[PhoenixC279]

Yeah, but thats the ion cannon. The ai really gets annoying when it decides to actually use its so called Intelligence and attack with fleets of strikes, carracks, lancers and Dreadnoughts. They are actually painful since the ion isn't effective and there are just Soo many of them
