Haven't seen an active Ares ship pole lately, so to maybe get a good topic to wake up the Ares boards a bit, let's give it a shot, shall we? I'll add the votes up as we go...

My vote would have to go for the Ishiman Heavy Cruiser. Although I'm a huge fan of the Aud Cruiser and Salrelian Gunship, nothing beats the good 'ol Ishiman Heavy Cruiser in the single player games. It's excellent rate of laser and proton fire, as well as a good combination of speed make it a darn reliable and fun-to-fly vessel.

Current Votes:
Ishiman Heavy Cruiser: 1 vote

Your heavy cruiser may be great but the Ishiman Enhanced Cruiser is faster and has better weapons...

Oh and I like my ship poles more roundish...

Heh, enough! I posted this poll early this morning! Posted Image

brookeview: I probably would have chosen the enhanced Ishiman heavy cruiser for its sheer firepower and speed, but the fact that you only get it for one mission kinda blew it.

By the way, I prefer my Ares poles more hexagon-shaped. What's wrong with you people? Posted Image Posted Image

I haven't played much Ares, but the Ishmian Heavy Cruiser is the most effective Ares vessel I've been able to fly.

Eleejetian Cruiser from the original Ares Game gets my No.1 vote here. No doubts about it. Firepower, speed, power reserves and manouverability are superb...

Oh, and I like my Ares Poles flag shaped! Heh Posted Image

Obish Escort.

Personally, I'd prefer a long Triangular Prism for my pole. Remember, triangles are one of the strongest shapes.

More firepower does not equal better. Better lies in the moral act of demonstrating the glory of a riled nation whose determination has been pushed too far and found...

But I ramble.

Human Gunship.

And poles should be lengthy, smooth, and with rounded ends, because a poke in the eye with a blunt stick is meant to be pretty nasty.

well obviously the best ship in multiplayer is the audoman cruiser. It could kill every other ship in the game in multiplayer. And lots of times the computer controls them better then you do cus they're so damn fast.

but i've always liked the ishiman hvd, especially when playing against races other than the sals or auds. it just needs some more shields.

the cantharian hvd has the coolest looking weapon. It looks so dank when you're using it. It's cloaking thing looks cool as well, which makes it the coolest looking ship.

anybody see the new ares pole? i heard it was so cooool. It's freakin like 50 feet tall, and it's got one cool flag on the top.

I'd have to go with the Audemedon cruiser. Its pulse weapon fires rounds that are as powerful as those fired by other races heavy destroyers. Its sheilds are high for its class and it is very manueverable. I faced one in a Salrillian cruiser - with the Audemed cruiser computer controlled - and still lost two ships to it. I have yet to beat all three with a Salrillian cruiser in a Spaze Warz type scenario.

I'll have to give my vote to the Ishiman Heavy Cruiser. While there are many more powerful ships, this is one of my favorites to fly. It has a good balance of speed turning and acceleration, so when you hold the accelerate key and turn you are instantly going the new direction. And it's firepower is not bad either.
