The Ebon Hawk VS The Normandy

[SacremPyrobolum]

Strangely, I liked the Ebon Hawk better. The little ship seemed to had much more "personality" than the Normandy. It made me feel like I was on the Milenium Falcoln. I guess you can compare the Normandy to the Enterprise then, but I never really watched Startreck, so that might be why. Normandy 2 does come as a close second however.

They were pretty much interchangeable in most ways for me. I think i look more fondly back on the ebon hawk, but that's more because of certain characters like AK and the gizka infestation and stuff like that than because of the ship itself.

Incomparable. Normandy is a warship, Ebon Hawk is a freighter.

Ebon Hawk was less annoying because there were less loading screens though.

Spoiler: This ship obviously

There no contest! It's got personality and it's piloted by one of the most badass pilots to ever grace the idiot box.

Spoiler: DIS GUY.

OT: Well I prefer the Normandy. It's improves greatly in its second iteration. All tricked out with Cerebus weaponry and awesomeness.

Although Ebon is a freighter. And for that, it gets points. Lots of 'em.

I prefer the Normandy - functionally it's obviously superior but more to the point I think it had a lot more personality as opposed to the Ebon Hawk, which was never more than a painfully obvious poor man's Millenium Falcon. Plus there's so much more to see and do on the Normandy.

While I agree with your assessment of its captain, it was actually piloted by:

Normandy. It has better people in it. Plus I kinda liked how it changed over time.

The Ebon Hawk was just the Not-Millenium-Falcon.

I do like the Ebon Hawk, particularly because it was a private vessel. With the Normandy (at least, the SR-1), you always got the feeling it was a military vessel that was Alliance property, and you were just borrowing it.

Points for the Mako, though. The Mako had a personality I bonded with.

The SR-2 felt more like a base to return to than a vessel, but at the same time, it felt like enemy territory. The SR-2(A) was finally free of that feeling with the return of the blue, but having the war room felt like it was more committed to the war effort than it was you. You were just along for the ride. Again.

Now that I think about it, I suppose that even though the SR-1 was a tactical downgrade, it was my favorite Normandy. I actually was yelling at whoever blasted it apart in the opening of ME2. By the time ME3 rolled around, I didn't care if the Normandy SR-2(A) fell apart just so long as it got the job done for me. I guess the old Normandy gets more points for that, if anything.

But the Hawk? The Hawk felt like home.
You could stick stuff in the cargo hold. It had a work bench (and a lab table in II). It had a gun you could shoot. It may not have had all the fancy galactic displays or the sleek light panels, but it got the job done and could land on the surface of planets for your convenience.

Ebon Hawk.

I spent more time, and had more enjoyable moments, with the Ebon and her various passengers than I did with the Normandy.

Plus I enjoyed KOTOR and KOTOR 2 far more than Mass Effect.

The SSV Normandy. She's just so kick ass! That, and she's got her own bitchin' song.

Not enough Wash love. Though, I guess since he has Zoe, he actually has everyone else on the ship beat except Inara in the love department.

Anyway, to be more on topic, since I have no idea what the Ebon Hawk looks like (May want to put a point of reference for both in your opening post), I'll have to go with the Normandy SR2. With Cerberus colors. Orange is much better than blue, any day.

I preferred the Ebon Hawk. It actually felt like my ship, whereas the Normandy just felt like it was on loan from the Alliance or Cerberus.

 

[Garyn Dakari]

Ooh...Tough one. While there's certainly a lot more to do and explore on the Normandy the Ebon Hawk just felt more personal. All three ships were awesome though.

Well the Normandy was certainly more reliable. Damn I couldn't find a monatage of the Ebon Hawk getting shot down on every other planet it visits.

I don't know. I have had so many good memories in both of them. Making freaky blue alien mind sex, threatening a Krogan, Destroying the Collector Ship, Fighting reapers in the Normandy. Getting shot down, Having regular human sex with Bastilla, Having HK-47 call me meatbag, taking it back from pirates on the Ebon Hawk.

The Normandy just narrowly wins. I just like ME more than KotOR, though that is like saying I like ice cream more than cake.
