Default Your Favorite and least Favorite MS in SW 3

I'm just wondering which Motherships you guys like best in SW 3

Mind you, statistic like hull, shield, etc, don't count. What is your favorite Mothership just by looks.

As for me. Well, as interesting as the Lion cruiser is, I have to admit that I personally liked the Astarte best. I think that's a really cool looking ship and I really felt kind of sorry to trade her in for another MS.

As for my least Favorite MS. Hm, that's a tough one, actually. I was never that fond of the Berserk design, so the Manticore didn't really appeal to me.

The Rhino has a nice mesh, but the textures of the vessel are a mess. I mean, it's basecally the Mothership from SW 1 with some extensions to it. You could have kept some of the details of the ship like... Well, the glowing windows for example. The Rhino is just a grey mess of steel, with no view port to the outside anywhere. I don't really like that. :-/

There's another MS based on the Rhino that you get from Admiral Trump, I think, and that looks really ugly. The textures of that ship are just plain messed up.

Then there's the Star Wolf herself. I didn't like how they had to double the size of the belt area... you know, the section between the upper and lower half with all of them windows in it. To have the section single like in Star Wolves 1 would have been okay, but two are definately to much. It just doesn't look right. :-/

Well... Okay, bottom line...

My least favourite ships are the Rhino and Manticore. Manticore because I don't like the Berserk design and the Rhino becaused of the rather lame texture work.

Well, with that out of the way... What about you guys? Which MS are your favourites and least favourites and for what reasons?

Well i have only had 3 motherships so far, i currently have the Bastiff.

Since the Bastiff is the coolest MS you get at the start of the game i have to say that i like it so far. The MS that i hate the most so far is the Heavy Trader it's just plain ugly. Where do i get MS #4?

To be honest most Ships in this game are kinda ugly and weird looking, but i like the game non the less. I think many of the fighters should be re modelled because sometimes the weapons on them are so big that it just looks like a flying weapons platform rather than a fighter.

The best is definitely Lion cruiser and the worst so far is Star Wolf as it only has one heavy gun slot

The funny thing is, the Lion Cruiser MK2 you get from Trump is much better than the prototype that Viper gives you...

Probably because a prototype is worse than the mark2 (hence redone) version of a thing

I think its not a protype advanced version but the prototype of the lion mk1 before that went regular build

The Lion from Viper is faster and more agile, but has 10k armor vs 12k. All in all I think they are almost identical.

Is it possible to remodel ships? Was thinking someone could add a docking bay to a stone turtle for an astarte replacement (asthetics wise, not stat wise)

I personaly like Astarte for cool design and look. I was always sad when I had to abandon Astarte. Those barrel engines, protruding communication antennas dark-blue colors and many light make this ship a somewhat stark appearance that i like. It's shame that Astarte have only 3 turrets and 3 systems and 5 slots in hangar.
I wish see in AoV example Astarte Mk2 with upgreade appearance 2 main caliber, 5 turrets, 5 systems, 6 slots in hangar

Least Favorite for me is original Star Wolf, why? Because as someone write this, he is outdated, but he is classic mothership. Another reason is a little edgy look.
