Best Flagship

from Sins Forums
What, in your opinion, is the best FLAGSHIP (not cap ship). Mine is the Akkan because its also a colony ship and its pretty balanced.

I like the Akkan for early game, because of its colony ability too. However, that really sacrifices the middle game, where the Kol's / Dreadnought's (don't remember the name) killing power becomes apparent (Dreadnought for anti-planet, Kol for anti-ship), and the Sova for full-up end game fights (nothing beats fighters, IMO... lots and lots of fighters and bombers is TEH WIN!).

I gotta go with the sova. I used the akkan the first few times I played, but then I realized that I could build a sova as my flagship and get an akkan within 5-10 minutes giving me a great combat flagship and a super colonizer in the early game. This combo is also hell on wheels for taking out pirates/early game AI fleets. I took out all the ships in the pirate base before about the 20th minute of the game. I left the planet intact since I wanted to be able to use bounties to summon pirate hordes .

I'm partial to the Marza, it's a very powerful ship mid-late game. And it's more then adequate early game along side some light frigates to blast the initial pirates away.

yea i love the marza i love its missilve barrage as well thats just ace and its verry powerful. Its also got good shields hull and armour so it can easily take on a large feet by itself. but the kol is nice as well and i like the carrier.

The Kol of course.

It has the best abilities (shield, gauss gun) for anti-ship combat and it's powerful autocannons can shoot in a 360 firing arc.

Guess I'll test out the getting the Sol and then an Akkan next game (I'm playing in a large galaxy so it might take awhile).

Poor Dunov, looks like it is a Flag Ship orphan.

My favorite is the Sova Carrier...but I can see how the KOL is an 'easier' starup choice.

Marza... The missile barrage kicks serious ass!

Sova all the way just for being able to run and take things down with bombers

Thrawn, the size of the galaxy shouldn't change how quickly you can get the second cap ship, it depends on the planets that you start out near, and how willing you are to sacrifice an early game force of light frigates.
