Survey: What is the FLAGSHIP in you fleet ?

[GriffinGamingRPG]

Up for another survey?

In your humble opinion... which ship is the most valuable to you?
Not because of cost but its use in the universe. Concept or in game makes no difference.

For me, it'll probably be the Anvil Aerospace Carrack. It's exploration focus and proposed modular design are something I'm looking forward to.

I am think I am looking forward to my carack and my banu merchantman most.

Polaris. It can hold one fighter and has a pool table.

Polaris. It can hold one fighter and has a pool table.

Second that and of cause the Carrack, the 890j and Kraken...don't know which I would put first and I ain't done buying ships either

@GriffinGamingRPG The Carrack is a pretty damn solid all around ship, let alone also being the best explorer!

The flagship & crown jewel of my fleet would probably have to be the Endeavor Hope. One of, if not the most, versatile ship in the verse. She is the top of the line hospital off-world, has a shuttle bay, and can leave the main section in a safe area while go exploring in the armored cab section. While I have others that are a bit sexier, she will make for one heck of a base of ops for fleet medical flying alongside an Idris or Javelin.

But she will be a bit of a bitch to operate due to staffing requirements and funding, and is a big soft target (hence need to fly with a fleet/carrier group). So that's one reason I have all my salvage/repair ships, to make income to support the big girl. She will also be available for our ScienTESTs to run research and experiments on (legality of which will depends on Command staff discretion). Down the line I will make an alt character who will explore illicit experiments/drugs/bio weapons manufacturing.

Edit1: I'm assuming [read: hoping] they will allow us to use components belonging to the org itself or other allied players. That way if no pressing need for medical stuff, another member that has the supercollider & GRP who wants to overclock weapons for themselves or the fleet, can just attach the module to my base endeavor ship and have at it!
Edit2: Also as I like theory-crafting, she could make a great intelligence ship too. Using 1-2 General Science Pods to crunch all the data we've 'acquired' from our Heralds & Mercurys. Heck she could also run the bay to hold her own Herald.

Kinda depends, while my Kraken is most likely what I will be using when supporting fleet ops and stuff my 890 is my home ingame and I will spend most of my time on there.

 

[stockish]

Correct answer for everyone is Aurora.

 

[Sayora]

Fore most likely the Polaris as well, should be a good self reliant ship with enough firepower to be a serious deterrent

 

[Talonsbane]

Depending on how each turns out when SC officially launches, I'll most likely be alternating between my Carrack, BMM & an 890J that I have in my buy backs that my dual 600i bundle will be helping me return to my fleet. #1stVerseProblemsFTW ;p

 

[Michael]

Undecided. Also i try to keep my fleet to small crew count.
But maybe the Caterpillar (depending on modularity)
All other ships i consider aren't "fully" functional or in the game at all.
Other candidates might be Hull C or BMM.

Ships which i would like to have but they are simply to expensive:
Polaris
Hercules M2

 

[Talonsbane]

Correct answer for everyone is Aurora BEER.

Properly TESTified I believe. ;p

 

[Printimus]

Orion, because without it, you wont have precious materials to make into pew pew bullets and missiles and such.

 

[MurderingPsycho]

Gotta go with the Carrack, assuming they don't screw it up.

 

[Tealwraith]

The correct article of faith is Aurora. Remember:

That being said, I would like to run an Endeavor Hope for Doc Teal's Chop Shop and Wellness Centre.

 

[Bambooza]

This is a difficult question. I figured after I have drunken my fill and funds at @Wolfy tavern I'd be in need of more funds. To that end, it really is a toss-up between the Polaris, Orion, and Carrack. While the concept of punishing other capital ship owners and exploring the vast universe the money-making potential of the Orion I have a feeling will be my daily go-to unless there is some sort of group adventure scheduled for the day.

 

[Phelan13]

I would have to say my Kraken. I have the Polaris in buybacks but the whole idea of a almost complete one stop shop for the org is great.

 

[Kiladyn]

I only have an avenger so that. Once i can get ships in game and have persistence than it will be a hard choice. The Carrack is my go to answer, have a corvette like the Polaris or something a little bigger would be so nice but expensive

If you're looking for something large like the Polaris, then I suggest the BMM. The main body of the BMM is supposed to be about the size of the Polaris, but I'm willing to bet that those wings will help it handle with a lot more stability in atmosphere. While the Polaris is deemed a "Capital" ship in the UEE, the BMM is deemed so by the Banu. If you compare them in the RSI Ship Matrix, then you'll see that the do measure up rather closely. However, the Polaris currently costs $750 while the BMM is less than 1/2 of that at $350. To me, the biggest decision maker will be in game play potentials between them, cargo & trade vs combat.

ALL of this being said, I have a feeling that once SC goes full launch, that the cost of the BMM will increase to something close to that of the Polaris especially in game.

 

[maynard]

since I can only fly one ship at a time, whichever ship I'm in is the flagship that day

 

[DarkScout]

Mine is the Carrack. I have several smaller purpose-built ships (SuperHornet, Cutlass Blue, Prospector, Vulture, etc.), but the Carrack will be my all-purpose/exploration and largest ship.
