Anyone notice an alphabetic theme?
Anyway, I like the fighters from the Homeworld universe. Partially because they have a sweet variety and partially because the combat AI is so good I got to watch a 20 minute dogfight between two fighters that just rocked.
Starfuries have the benefit of being really well thought out when it comes to physics. Can't argue that one.
Vipers are cool and all, but their weapons wouldn't take out Chiggy von Richtofen and they have dick in the way of defense. I'll take a Hammerhead for the missile payload, tracking weaponry, and tail gun.
I would say that an X-wing is nice, but the original movies didn't make the shields appear all that great, assuming they have any. And no, I don't play the games or any such thing, so bear with me. Oddly, the much bulkier Millennium Falcon seemed to keep up with them just fine.
Now you want something I have experience with an can kick ass? The Rapier from Wing Commander. The longest standing model in the Confederate forces. I can do damage with that or a Morningstar.
I have other preferences in other games, but I'll save it.
