The best all around ship?

[Nuclear]

This could propably be considered a poll but i don't know how to put the little graph there. This thread is about what YOU think is the best all around ship with attributes: cabable of killing everother ship, easy enough to use without being "Nubyish" and last: can you beat the entire game using only this ship? My vote would be the Chmmr Avatar but i bet theres better (less "nubyish") choices out there.

Utwig Jugger definitely.

[Nuclear]

Might as well be the Terminator too.

[Alen]

I would say the Orz have the best ship.

The Jugger and Terminator are very different ships.  For one, I'm no good at all with a Terminator and the Jugger is my second best ship.  The Jugger has a wider, slower attack and requires no energy.  The shield can be active indefinetly as long as it's taking fire.

The fact that the Jugger can use unlimited ammo it is a deadly ship, but its only defensive property is its shield. Its really not that fast or maneuverable, it will loose if you can outmaneuver it, and drain the shields.

If you're good enough with the shield though, it wont ever run out.

Man, some of the Netmelee vets will tear you guys a new one for this topic in general, but especially this statement right here. Just wait until Shiver sees this.

I'm not saying this without proper knowledge.  I'm pretty good with that shield myself.

just set the computer AI up a notch and the Utwig are invincable. (so.........unbalanced!)

Owwww, Shiver's very into net mele.... I'm sorry Shiver, please don't make me feel like a retard!

The best all round ship has got to be the Arilou Skiff.  The Melnorme could have been a contender but the Trader is too baroque.

I'm not saying it is the best, but in capable hands Slylandro can take down any ship except the Chmmr. It would be theoretically possible to even defeat a fully crewed Avatar, but it would require lots and lots of perfect attack runs and luck. At best I have gotten around 10 crew from an Avatar with Slylandro.

I am not wading through all this mess. Except for Tiberian's post, because he actually plays.

Lightning bolts have a variable range. The theoretical maximum is frighteningly far. I have no desire to test this, but it should be possible to wear a Chmmr down by firing from a distance safely outside Chmmr range over and over until you get lucky enough times. I doubt anyone would sit through a full bout of that. I know I wouldn't.
