I like being a tank-like class, a slow warrior that can absorb and deal a truckload of damage.
In fact, that's the way I play most games. You'll most often find me in the giant battlecruiser blasting the crap out of a poor asteroid base, rather than the tiny, swift fighter.
Speed is fun, but eventually it just makes me dizzy.
Plus, a small, quick little attacker may be able to take out a giant brute with enough force, but nothing is really more intimidating than a big moving wall coming right at you with a bigass weapon! >
