Hello from a plebe. My favorite ship in WCP and SO is a skate, just as the last one is about to hook up ... I have this mental image of "{untranslatable}" being buggish for "Dangnabbit!" Least favorite is chasing around a devil ray.
WC4 ... Excaliburs are fun targets because their armor is made entirely of rice paper. OTOH, I really didn't like taking out the Vesuvius. Sure, Tolwyn's bad ... but most of the folks on that ship were just ordinary ConFed pilots and techs, doing their job. How many Catscratches were on that ship?
WC3 ... No particular favorite, although is it my imagination, or does Thrakhath's ship look like it's giving you the finger? Least fave: corvettes. They're everywhere, and even when you take out all the turrets, get behind 'em and just wail, they still take forever to blow up.
Privateer ... Anything that's not a Talon, if you catch my drift. I used to have fun with predit, equipping my ship with multiple Steltek guns. Hey, after you've gone through both plots and earned a gazillion credits, you gotta do _something_ to keep yourself entertained.
WC2 and back ... it's been too long, I can't remember. I do remember the cats had at least one ship that was all guns ... one chicken run on that and you were dead meat. I hated those!
Honorable mention, any game ... I occasionally like to go berserk and waste Maniac. Particularly in the pre-WC3 games, he was _so_ obnoxious...
