Favourite ship?

Raptor!! Kick ass ship. I'll take a few more pounds for a some more firepower everyday (up to a point of course, otherwise I'd just as well fly a carrier ;) ).
The Excalibur also left a lasting impression (mostly because with auto-targeting it's the only ship not troubled by WC3 keyboard control problem).
Don't know what everybody likes so much about a Rapier. It's a nice ship, but not enough armour for my taste, and whenever I was transfered from Rapier to Raptor in WC1 I'd cheer.
 
WC3: Excalibur
WC4: Dragon
WC5: Vampire

Among them I like Dragon most as it got cool outlook (the dragon head) and cloaking device.

I have to say though - after you finished WC V, those real time rendered animations of fighters (such as Vampire) in the credits screen are really nice. If Origin remakes WC1-4 with the D3D engine from WC V I am sure I will get a copy of that.... too bad most Origin's staff were fired/resigned after EA's acquisition. It sounds more like a wishful thinking as we speak of now.
 
WC1: Raptor
WC2: Broadsword (Morningstar comes in a close second place)
WC3: Haven't played it in a long time, but from what I recall, my favorite was the Excal.
WC4: Vindicator
WCP: Wasp
WCSO: Black Wasp

Overall favorite: toss up between Raptor and Broadsword

Although many ships such as the Excalibur, Vampire, or Dragon can kick any other ships tail with ease, it all seemed to easy and simple. One of my favorites would be the Panther for Prophecy. The Panther has good speed, shields, agility, and weaponry, along with the beautiful power slide. The Panther boasted an almost perfect balance. Team that with piloting skill, and you can take out anything the Kilrathi or Nephilim throw at you. The other thing is it pushes the feeling of a dogfight, where it was a good fighter, but not good enough where your grandmother could kill with her eyes closed. I loved matching up with a Devil Ray where only my personal skill would whoop the bug.

Interesting to read all the responses

Seems to me most people can be split into 2 categories, those that use awesome firepower and defenses to pound the enemy, and those that prefer to use light fighters/escorts to dance with their prey. All good, its all fun :D
 
Well, I'm the kinda guy that can outfly a Dralthi in a Broadsword but can't hit the broad side of a 22km Kilrathi dreadnought, so...

WC1: Gimme a Rapier an' I'll take on the whole empire myself.
WC2: The Ferret is just badass, man. I don't know why, but it just says to me: "let's get funky, Man", and I do.
WC3: The T-Bolt all the way, man. it's just got somethin' classy)
WC4: Bearcat's probably the best. Dragon is too good to be true an' the Banshee sometimes seems to nervous and lacks sting.
WCP: Panther, 'caus as Phoenix said, it IS an artist's dogfighter.
WCSO: Love the Black Panther, but black Wasp's the one I'm gonna put here, 'caus I already said Panther in WCP
 
Well, I like alot of cannons... but I'd have to go with either the laser cannon, or the reaper cannon (of coarse I grade everything by all the games pre-wc3)
