Preferred Ship Subclasses

It’s exactly what it says on the tin, what are your preferred subclasses for each ship type? Answer the poll and state your reasoning.

Despite supporting the Federation, I overall prefer the Jericho ships over the others. They seem more manoverable to me over their Imperial and Federation counterparts, the ECM interceptors from Jericho are far more capable in a fight and more versatile despite nevertheless being situational (Recon can hardly get any kills whilst Covert Ops are more of the pick a target-then GTFO kind of ship). Command Ships of Jericho are also more forgiving than their counterparts thanks to their buffs and Diffusion Shield.

I personally don’t use frigates as they are too inmanoverable and slow to be of any use to me. That’s the sort of preferred stats for me, Firepower and agility. Jericho provides the agility, fire power… I’m working on.

Feel free to put up your preferences on the poll and thread.

Empire is best for pretty much everything T3 and up. The most difficult squads to break in T3 are hull-tanked Empire ships with a hull-tanking, hull-heal focused Engineer to back them up.

 

Obviously, some classes cannot be used by Empire, but nevertheless if you are struggling to land kills or make headway against the opposition, odds are they’ve got a solid core of Empire ships wrecking your day.

It’s called an Empire Frigate.  It doesn’t need phase shield either.
