Poll on Kitty snubfighters

[Death's Head]

The question is what fighter would you take out and fly. Factors to consider: handling, looks, firepower, defenses, and of course, raw engine power. Your choice?

 

[Chernikov]

hmm, snubfigters being what exactly? If we're just talking about light fighers (excluding Armada - Ive never played it), I'd take a Darket first. However I always liked the looks of the new-style Dralthi, and if I was just going cruising for females and a little light fighting I would take one of them.

If snubfigher means just anything... damn. I dont really have a favorite Cat figher

 

[Bandit LOAF]

It's a scary Star Wars term, I believe.

I'm partial to the Gothri and Hhriss...

 

[Quarto]

Gothri and Gratha. Both are very efficient and powerful, but the Gratha wins on looks.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Prince Thrak`s ship in WC2. It was a custom designed ship, wasn`t it? (even though I took him out in, what, 4 shots with the Sabre

).

 

[Jumper]

That six-gunned Jalthi is pretty mean looking and very deadly with a good (better then the AI) pilot.

 

[JoeyRP]

I'd fly in a Vaktoth or Sortakh, very hard to aim at in a joust. One on one, these birds will fry you.

It's party time!

 

[Chernikov]

On either of them, if you get a quick enemy that can stay more than 45 degrees off your tail youre screwed, no matter how good you are with a tailgun. With the right pilot an Arrow can take a Vaktoth one-on-one every time without using full capabilities or one spurt of afterburner. Believe me, I had it down to a fine art when I was playing WC3...

------------------
You deal death with your roars and your screams, your threats, your taunts, your overblown ego. I hand it out, one with the steel and the silence, the blackness around me, with a thought.

I don't fly Heavies the same way with light fighters. They're too fast to out maneuver. I simply joust with them, because it is hard to use turret guns in WC3. But I can use the ship like a turret at very low speed. It is not wise for an Arrow pilot to match heavies at that speed.

 

[Quarto]

Pah. I'd destroy ye with my Jrathek any time of the week.

Hmm, that's what I forgot. Unbelieveable - how could I forget my favouritest ever Kilrathi ship?

To revise my earlier vote:
1. Jrathek - looks, power, speed, everything

.
2. Gratha - looks, power.
3. Gothri - lotsa guns, and remarkable manoeuvrability for a heavy. Remarkable speed, too. And remarkably low armour values

.

Damn the Jrathek! The only way I could get that kitty is to ram it w/ my heavy.

No match for my Gladius, though.

Incidentally, How come the intro in WC Armada depicted a dogfight between a Salthi & a Gladius? That cat was outmoded, since WC2! It was not available on that series, too!

You fly like the ape that you are!

 

[Quarto]

Strictly speaking, it didn't display the Salthi - it displayed the Shok'lar, which looks the same

.

In reality however, we can assume that it did indeed display the Salthi. And that the Gladius was not actually a Gladius, but rather a Rapier (I think). And that the Lexington was the Tiger's Claw, and the Shiraak was a Snakeir.
To explain the above, Origin used Super Wing Commander ship models in Armada - or did they use Armada models in Super Wing Commander?

 

[Shane]

I'm with Loaf, I liked the Hhriss. Similar to the Raptor, my favorite WC1 ship. I also would like to take the Bloodfang (either version), Gothri and the Paktahn out for a spin. Most of the time, I prefer a ship with a lot of power over manuverabilty.
