Liberty one is lagging behind because there's something I hate about the fact it's too squared and it has a submarine line, which should be round.
If you include destroyer, Bretonian one is lovely. It makes me think of a knight helm. Kusari one again, lags behind because it looks so fragile, it is a wonder its not actually a gunboat.
Of course, these are not pvp argument, but mere esthetic comments. I wont give you any pvp comment, nor will any of them do.
Rp before, as they all say.
Thanks Xing, for actually answering this guys original question..
My 2 cents:
Hessian Cruiser is aesthetically nice (Varyag obviously loves his)
But in terms of PVP, all cruisers are vulnerable to 2 decent bomber pilots. Don't expect to PWN all the time in one.
First of - all cruisers / destroyers are weak.I use mainly a GB to kill them.But there are some difrences.(exept the pilot).I devide these ships in 2 groups.The ones I can kill in open space and the ones I need cover from the terrain for.These are some of the Cruisers I've tested with.
The weakest and most useless of all caps in this class is the Liberty Cruiser.Acttually it's a flying piece of junk.Very little firepower and manuvarability like a brick makes it an easy pray.It's mostly for show with that Forward Gun.
The Red Hessian Cruiser , good looks , tough armor and alot of guns make it a strong oponent.I'm friendly with the pple who use them but if need be , I would look for cover to kill them.In the open it's not easy , exept if the captain is a twit.
The Kusari Destroyer.Small and fast , good firepower and strong armor.But turns slow = death.I can kill them in the open but still prefer some cover.All in all , it's a good choice,
The Outcast Destroyer.Thats the strongest I've trained with so far.Alot of guns , good armor , realy nice look and good manuvarability makes it realy strong.With the correct turrets it is tough to take down.I atack these (if need be) only in cover or if I see the pilot is a niny.Only has 1 major weakness do.Under the ship there is only 1 turret.So I awlays try to be under it at all times.All in all I think this is one of the best ships of this type.
The Zoner Desi. Looks like a brick , flies like a brick.Good armor and guns do. I haven't realy trained on them THAT much , but they aren't worth traveling half sirius to get them.Still if you want a zoner that bad I supposed this would cut it.
The Huntress - I'd say if Batman was still alive after 800 years , he would pilot one of these.Apart from that , this is the biggest brick I have ever seen.Litery IMPOSSIBLE to fly thrue any sort of debree.Good firepower and armor aren't enough to make wonders with this ship.This is probly the worst cruiser , thats my opinion do.
I few tips if you still plan ot buying a ship like this.Never enter a asteroid field in persuit of someone.Thats a very good way to get killed from any random GB or even a good bomber pilot.You should have a faction that needs some medium firepower , if you don't , then there is no need to get a ship like this.The fact the you are big and have a thick armor doesn't mean you wont get toasted from random people (trust me ...I know...).
Was that some Cruiser vs GB comparison? Since it looked only like that...

Liberty cruiser is anti-BS and anti cruiser stick .... limited use for anything else. Especially limited against GBs yes.

"Turns slow"
:lol::lol::lol:
Really? Fastest turning cruiser...
that thing owns GBs, I have yet to meet one that takes more than half shield off mine, even with the very mixed loadout I have. If I optimized it for anti-gb only I believe it would get undefeatable by GBs. From the front it has smaller profile than half the GBs. But it's more vulnerable to bombers than some others.. because the firing arcs are not really great.

Don't get a cruiser. They're boring. Join the Colorado Blazers. We look forward to the day when 20 starblazers take on and destroy a Liberty Battleship.
Just throwing something out here for some flaming action...
I don't agree with 'RP then ship' stuff. If I like a ship (NOT FOR STATS you n00bs) i.e. its pretty or whatever i'll buy it then make an RP background for it.
BUT, asking what ship is teh best sounds a bit like youre here for PvP whoring.
That was my point of view.I killed him in a debree field near Rochester.(Funny Kusari Desi , LN ID ...) killed him ,fairly easy..That might be pilot error , but that is what I have seen.
Try Kusari Destroyer. It's good anti-all in a 1 vs 1 fight. Red Hessian cruiser works wonders. And looks cool too. Other than that... Liberty Cruiser's forward gun is good if you have a good aim against BS/CR.
My personal preference is the Red Hessian cruiser. I had one, and I really liked the performances. You should get what suits you best.
Well, if you get really good in a cruiser/destroyer, you'll learn to outsmart/out turn bombers, which will keep you alive in a battle:)
