Topic: What is the most hardest Race to Fly?

[FPF-DieHard]

Plasma itself is not a weapon; it is a means to an end.

Very well put.   

Plasma will be MY means to YOUR end traitor!!!!!!!   

Erm, I thought S'cippy was the traitorous bastard. 

They all look alike!  Well, you can tell by the tutus . . .

Well, if THAT was true (which it isn't), you've been flying a lot of Gorn this server.   How's your tutu fit you tentacled, blue-skinned megalomaniac?!!   All you keep talking about is Kroma and his love of BF.   Me thinks you two flew just a few too many missions together.

I AM the ONE and ONLY AGAVE

Its all relative to the stardate.

Agreed. Era determines a lot. Killing another ship with drones in Early is a lot harder than flying a plasma or direct fire race, but overall I'd have to go with Lyrans.

Go on please explain futher about different ships and Eras.Don't stop there.

Lyrans aren't great shakes to learn for Fed captains who are used to watching their power, but like Dizzy said, it's stardate that determines. The difference comes between photons and ESG's. No surprise there. But mastering the use of the ESG is possibly the hardest weapon in the game, IMO anyway.

Personally, I think the direct fire captains have the toughest job, because the droners and plasma chuckers can fire and forget. It's fun and sometimes easy. The best of them, like Chuut, Scippy, Agave or whatever ***** or ******** will fry you in a second if you're careless. But for the most part, it's a plasma ballet. Take a few hits and say GG as you make your way across the border.

But when a Fed, Hydran or Lyran gets in your face, call your dentist.

I have the most trouble with Mirak cuz I am used to flying ships that either have  a heavy direct-fire/plasma weapons layout, or the ship is nimble like a Klingon.

With Mirak CAs and up, I have the weapon layout of a Klingon that is more slanted to drone armaments, but the ship maneuvors like a bloated Frog/Gorn tub.

I find flying Lyran and Hydrans is like using a lawn-mower. The objective is to run-over and/or knife-fight your target with your PFs or stingers piling on.

I find flying Klingon to be quite slick where you can use your turn modes and speed to control the fight in an assertive manner and keep the fight out side of the alliance ship's knife-fight range.

I find flying Romulan akin to a great mugging setup. When you strike, strike hard and it's over. You also get to annoy your opponent by hiding under-cloak unless you are fighting a Lyran.

ISC is more of a med-to-long range duellist, just like a Klingon, except you have some sizeable plasma torps to close the deal instead on using Drones and SPs. I think Dogmatix put it best during SG3:  "There's not much you cannot do with a (sic) I-CA/CC-class (sic) ship"

Flying Fed is fun cuz of the versatility you have available in the shipyard. If you can close with the enemy and nail them with overloaded photons then it's a good, good day to be blue.  F-BCF is a great ship cuz it has plasma Fs that can really hurt at close range.

Gorn, I have not flown yet cuz I tend to like using the PPD to cut short the plasma ballet dance. Also, the PPD gets rid droners cuz if you are in slow PD mode the drones cannot hurt you while your PPD is methodically ripping down their  shields at ranges up to 15. Only WarSears ever broke my I-CA/CC ship in slow PD mode with expert drone wave onslaughts.
