Both the Aud gunship and cruiser rock, but I was just throwing the cruiser out there as an example of how powerful they are.

Edit:By the way, what is the count now Taylor?

Ahh, yes I see you did. It's just that '* (my vote)' sounded as if the '*' was your vote, which is basically why I got angry. Anyway, now that's settled up, we can be friends again...

The elejee. Because they are so mysterious.
And their crusier has the onas pulse, the best weapon in the game.

If you don't count the elejee then the Salrillians.

Salrelian
Aud (I hate spelling the full word Posted Image)
Human
Ishiman
Gaitori
Cantharan

Sounds more along the lines of the Cantharan. Gaitori ships (just like the humans) are white.

My vote would have to go to the Obish. Even though I havn't used them much, all my experiences with them have been positive. When I start do multiplayer, I will use Obish a lot. Also, what's so bad about the Battleship? I could never have passed Level 13(Fansi) without the Battleship. I would have said Ishiman, but their gunships are not very cost effective at all, and that ruined it for them

Also Obish ships look Posted Image

Salrilians definately! They have many more attack options than the other races.

You would have to be ignorant, derranged, demented, or dead to turn down the oppurtunity to fly an Azdara.

lol this is like the 500th ares races poll I've seen on these boards..

by the way journalist..sorry to break it to ya, but obish aren't included in multiplayer ares.. Posted Image

Well like always in these topics i'll pick Ishiman as the best race. Everything they have is basically the standard for the game. The ship classes interact perfectly making a distinct difference in the outcome of a game based on strategy. The HVD is killer with some intense firepower and low shields so it doesn't stick around too long and make the game stupid.

The audoman would come in second place because i think the computer does an excellent job controlling the cruisers. Probably a better job than i could do making audoman pretty much the easiest race to run on multiplayer.

Cantharians come in third just because i love the HVD. It's weapons look so cool, especially the one that makes huge green splashes all over the screen. Lol it's intense. The cloaking looks cool on the HVD too. I wish i could own one of those HVDs, it would be so slick.

If you think race polls dominate the Ares boards as much as I infer from you statement Jimmy, then you should visit one of the EV boards. They have a poll every week or so, atleast. That's one thing I would like to see happening here, but Ares doesn't provide the right board members. I am practically the only one here who posts when there is a smidgeon of information that I could say something that it would be relevant to. You guys only post when it's directly relevant, I notice. And there's nothing like an empty board to scare away newbies. Ah well.

I'll put another vote for the Ishiman. Surely my l33t intellectual powers elevate me above all the common board members I see sprawled in a heap before me!!

Except for someone who sits on said empty forum posting upwards of 20 posts at a time.

Well, despite turning the board topsy-turvy and spamming nearly every topic, I don't see what harm I've done.

I would say Ishiman since audemedon and salrilian are too good to be fair.

I absolutely love the human gunship (as many players have found out multiplayer Posted Image), although it's only truly effective against races with low advantages.

The human heavy destroyer really isn't much different from the gunship...

OK, as far as I can tell, the real vote so far is:

Ishimans: *****
Salrilians: ****-
Obish: ****
Humans: ***-
Elejeetians: **
Grolk: *
Cantharan: *

The "-" indicates the two that SA voted for.
