I would say that the Hydrans(hellbore ships) and feds would be easiest to learn as they have some pretty straight forward tactics that work. Close the range and Alpha strike. I'm not saying these are the ONLY tactics that they have just that those particular tacticss do work for them.

Isn't close range alpha strike better for Fusion ships?

I love playing Hydran, but have a nasty habit of blowing up, getting angry, playing a SP skirmish with a ton of ships (being the Mirak) and just hitting the Z key when my Drones reload

I think I'm going to go back and play Romulans again. As soon as I can find my CD and install it on my cool new Laptop...

I find the "marine beaming over to play bridge and have beer" the funniest...

IMHO, for SFC2/OP: Either Mirak or Gorn should be ok. (given the opponent doesn't know about proper point defense and seeking avoidance tactics (i.e. Run away))

The X cruisers are really easy to fly. (except when against an equally competent opponenet. then its gets frustrating)
Without X tech (EAW), I'd say the CCH or NCA level cruisers are the easiest to fly. Unlike BCH which have too many weapons and require careful management, or the lighter cruisers which are not strong enough to endure much punishment.

For SFC3, Fed with Pulse and Quantum Torps.

I know this has been said and rebuked many times, but I still believe it to be true:
A fully loaded Defiant can take any ship short of the Dreadnaught (Soveriegn) level. Since it's a good balance between firepower and maneoveurablity.

Since this has one of my earliest posts, I thought it would be a good idea to post it (and it is relavent too
