Worst Non-ST/SW Starfighter Ever?

Mike_6002 · Post by **Mike_6002** » 2002-11-19 03:29pm

For me the Zeypher 109 Raider (B5) with it's huge target profile, weak ass 20 millejoule 42mm bolters, and it manuvers like a pregant Bantha (mandatory SW joke)

The ones from the Wing Commander movie.

Truly arseclench.

The Naginata from Starlancer. Crap shields, three missile hardpoints, tissue paper armor, pea-shooter guns (sneezing on them might do more damage). So what if it's fast. In my book, fast but crappy translates into "Target Practice".

I heartily second that, although I liked the bombers.

The Raider fighter from B5 is even worse.

The Devastator Bomber from Wing Commander Prophecy. Slow, wallowing pos that's almost impossible to maneuver. Strong weapons and armor that helps nothing at all. Weaponry and technology based on misconceptions of WC 4. And soooo ugly...

The Point defense were okay(when they took those away though...I was WTF?!)...but for me the Avenger in WC4.

Slow pig...needed for some nasty missions and ugly as all hell.

The unmodified Dralthi "suicide pancake"

20 millijoule? That's sub lightbulb level! BS!

It was somewhat slower then the Shrike, had greater shields, armor, turret defenses. Its main gun could kill enemy fighters instantly (which I did multiple times), does not have to worry about running out of Torpedoes near as much as the Shrike, and carried more torpedoes.

It is superior to the Shrike in almost every single way.

The raider craft from B5, or maybe the Kilrathi fighter that can only turn one way from the game. The worst appearance definitely belongs to the WC movie designs, but with dishonorable mention for some of the starfighters from Homeworld.

The first starfighter you can purchase in Privateer 2. 2 gun hardpoints, 2 missile hardpoints, and 2 systems hardpoints, crap armor, crap shields, crap maneuverability, and crap speed. If I can find the name, I'll post it.

Post by **Vympel** » 2002-11-20 12:29am

The Shrike was more like the MAGNIFICENT, AWESOME, BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP THUNDERBOLT VII than a bomber. The Shrike was much easier to fight in IMO.

Worst fighter- the Hellcat. Like YUK. Piece of crap.

Oh crap forgot about that thing .... what's worse is there's a huge period of the game where you're stuck with that piece of shit that's only one step up from it ... the Shaman IIRC.

The Babylon 5 raider also sucks.

As do the Wing Commander movie fighters- kitbased MiG-21s you say?! How dare they deface a FISHBED in that manner!!!! (and I hate the MiG-21- that should tell you how much I hate the WC movie fighters)

The Tigershark from Prophecy. More Hellcat craptacularness.

I thought the Hellcat was a decent fighter?

Post by **Vympel** » 2002-11-20 12:36am

Hellcat decent? Yuk man. It's not fast, it's not well-armed, it's missile armament blows chunks, its maneuverability is pathetic ... jack of all trades, master of none.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2002-11-20 12:39am

I think the biggest problem with the Hellcat was the the Arrow outperformed it all but Missle payload.

Sad given that supposedly was a better fighter...guh

Though Unmodified Dralthi was just suicide...hated the missions you HAD to use that worthless piece of junk.

Those WC fighters look a lot more like a Bachem Natter to me. And I always thought MIG-21s were perty perty airplanes.
