Hmmm, This thread took an odd turn.

I thought this thread would give another way of looking at things and bring out the postive traits in ships that are less talked about.

It seems there are so many conversations that go something like this. "The abcdf can easily take a fdcba one on one, the fdcba does not have a chance because of its dohicky." "No, the fdcba can control the range so no matter what happens the fdcba can take on a dozen abcdf's." "You are forgetting, the abcdf's has such a big immunity zone that it can get hit with the all of the magazines in there entirety and the paint will not show a mark." "That armor scheme is worthless, small arms fire could defeat it. In fact most service rifle cartridges can sink one of those with one hit" Ok I am stretching things a bit here but I think you see what I mean. I was in hopes that this thread would get people talking about good ships that don't get as much attention in a positive way. perhaps see some features that are worthwhile without all the nationalistic brow beating.

I do like the Loitorio's as well. The short legs should not count against as much since they were intended for the Med. The guns might not have as much barrel life but it seems changing them was fast. High performance rifles have the same problem of short barrel life but that goes with the territory when you are pushing velocity to extreams. I would not count the Loitorio's out of fight. I think it would have a fighting chance against anyting it would be likely to face. Well, except being horribly outnumbered.

Nelrod and Espana, I have never heard of these ships. Looks like I have something to look up.

Ah, Nelson and Rodney. I am well aware of them. I was looking for the ship Nelrod....duh.
