No Homeworld, no Freespace, no Independence War, hell, no Starlancer. Poor show old chap, poor show.

Planet Killer, from Star Trek?


Or the Dyson Sphere from the same game? With ROBOT DINOSAURS THAT SHOOT LASERS inside?

Isn't the SR2 Normandy pretty massive?

Also I love how The Eclipse from Star Wars Empire at War was missed out.

That shit inspired dread within the enemies' ranks.

Really dumb list. Really. Did author put any thought when making it? I was especially stunned by a pick from Halo, which has really huge things. And, as mentioned before, no Homeworld? No Starship Titanic? No Space Siege? No Civilization II? No System Shock? No Prey? No Might & Magic? No Dawn of War II?

The Liberty Cruiser from Freelancer. I love this ship even though it isn't playable.

I do quite like that Halo ship even though I'm quite meh on the series as a whole.

You picked the SABRE from Halo?

Not the Pillar of Autumn, basically a massive box with engines?

You didn't pick a UNSC frigate, basically a giant GUN with engines, and some smaller guns on the sides?

You didn't even pick a Covenant ship, some of which I seem to recall could be 5 kilometers long, and could turn the surface of a planet to glass? There is something definitely wrong with this list.

Um. No Titan class ships? NONE? Come on, those things are quite literally massive.
No Reaper capital ship either.
And you managed to dodge all news and hype and miss the Bengal carrier, too.

The lowermost ship on that picture is the MISC Starfarer, which is 90m long.

Even ignoring the selection, I was kinda hoping for more extravagant pictures of whatever ships you selected.

Like something that can be described as "spaceship porn."

Oh lordy.

And there a a couple of wrecks of that ship floating around in the Star Citizen universe, waiting for a guild to find and repair as a mobile base.

Those neat little Kadeshi Multibeam Frigates are a nice reward though. Those things are scary. :)

Yeah, Those are awesome in the later levels (Assuming some are left!)


The hardest thing i found about that mission was trying to protect all of the Turranic Raider Array Frigates that i had captured...

Pretty lousy list, very few "best ships", very few "giant ships". Seems more like a "google 'kewl' video game spaceships".

Not just wrecks. There are also the UEE ones... <a href=https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/69072/the-united-outlaw-mothership-tl-dr-let-s-capture-a-bengal-and-make-it-a-criminal-super-base/p1>one of which will disappear inside the first month after launch.

I knew they would be potential raid targets for clans when the game goes live but that is beyond insane.

I'm going to have to salute those anarchist players, and then volunteer for the task-force set-up to take out that haven.
