I'm a fan of the Parcival also(my #1). Then, the Barbarossa and Brunhild. (hmm, all Imperial ships - well they could easily afford to build snazzy custom ships) Suzuno In a message dated Tue, 8 Aug 2000 11:57:13 AM Eastern Daylight Time, "Justin Ho"writes: << On purely aesthetic grounds (ie disregarding whose ship it is) is everyone's favorite ship? My usual indecisive self has 3: Brunhild (sleek) Parcival (like a bird or manta ray) Hyperion (elegance in its functionality) On a more serious note, is there any information on the two sides' ship design doctrine? Or is this area completely open to speculation? Looking over the sizes, I can only marvel at how incredibly huge some of the Alliance flagships are and the number of cannons they carry and wonder at what the rationale behind them was.
