Favorite Ship Size Poll

[DavidG]

I like the best ship my tech will allow. Of course having said that I usually take a break from researching Ship Construction after I have LC. I also will only research beyond BB when I have a real surplus a research points.

Hmmm...see late game I really like Dreadnoughts. Yeah, same mount as a BB, but the hold more stuff. It's hare to track fast moving stuff, but by then -- I'm into smashing infrastructure. Ma Ha Ha

Earily game I use what I can get, but I always use the Destroyer throughout the game.

In fact I use all of the ship classes throughout the game.

Battleship is by far my favorate.

Early game, I like the destoyers: I can get them reasonably fast and they seem like a nice size.

Late game, I like Cruisers, because a Ship Yard can fit on them.

From what I've seen on this topic, I'm probably going to be really screwed once I start playing PBW. I don't even have the ship mounts memorized, and my mind seems to be more on economics than warfare. *shrug* oh, well, i can still learn

I'm with Pax on this one;

In the early game, I chose Frigate. Why? It's a nice, small, fast ship -- and I can simply add a CSM (or similar) to my initial scout design.

I can also add a Remote Sat to the hull. So I like it alot early!

In the early game I use the biggest hull size I have researched. Light cruisers and Battle Cruisers seem the best of these, though, for the reasons already mentioned.

In the late game I like Battleships - for the same reasons everyone else does. The bigger sizes are just too slow - mobility is often a key to victory.

LC's for the Large Mount and +10 defense, BB's for the Heavy Mount and they're only 1 unit slower than ES-BC, but sometimes I'll use Baseships just because they get Massive Mount!
