Swag as in drip? Executor, or maybe Falcon (LG).

Swag as in confidence? Onslaught mounts a ton of guns, disregards rules about overfluxing, and smashes everything into paste anyways.

Swag as in being able to style on anything with it? Odyssey if you dislike carpal tunnel, or Afflictor otherwise. When someone finally goes back and makes that multiplayer mod usable for the general public, the 1v1s will put even Star Control to shame.

[Void Ganymede]

Simple answer is some kind of low-mid SO destroyer. Fast, dangerous, decisive.

More abstractly, maybe a massive battle carrier. Mounts and bays to carry a solution to every problem, confidence to bring thousands of crew despite being slow as hell and a giant target, usually a lynchpin of the mid-late game fleet it's in.

The Aurora definitely gives off  "arrogant pretty boy" vibes, where you want to punch him in the face but then find out he is, in fact, better than you.

The Dominator looks like a bodybuilder who has to walk sideways through a door because his back is so big.

Apogee looks like it was designed during a time of optimism but now is just a painful reminder of what could have been. Too good for this world.

The Eagle is that guy you know who goes to the gym all the time but has never gotten into a fight in his life.

The Odyssey looks like it should be sailing the eternal sea of Volturn rather than flying in the skies above it.

The Onslaught was designed by Sauron, the Accursed. "[It] suffered no rival. Wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, dark tower of adamant. He saw it...all hope left him."

The Doom, imagine not knowing what a phase ship is and seeing that appear beside your freighter.

[Fotsvamp]

The Dram! What does a tanker need? Obviously it's a missile mount!

[Wyvern]

Personally, I've only ever seen 'swag' used as a synonym for 'loot' or 'treasure'. As such, the winner of most swag is obvious: the [REDACTED] guarding the hypershunts have, by far, the most valuable loot, and - thanks to their habit of splitting into multiple smaller ships from which you also get loot - also the most loot per ship by volume or numerical count, too.

(At least, if we exclude commodities on the basis that commodities are boring. Otherwise an Atlas in a trade flight might be a solid contender for the title.)

[Killer of Fate]

I'm gonna give a second answer and say Fury and Shrike

Sure, these ships are non-meta. But their inherent design and concept. Is neat as heck

Cheap High Tech infantry? Say no more

[Antelope Syrup]

The Pegasus, because it saunters up to you and then gracefully bestows 16 large missiles gently upon your face. And then you die.

[Elshama]

The Omen obviously; if you know you know! If you have to ask why you'll never understand SMH

Honorable mention to the Doom, Ziggurat, Afflictor both versions, Harbinger, Hyperion, Aurora, Odyssey, Tempest, Scarab, SunderLG, CenturionLG, Falcon any version but the base version, Brawler any version but the base version, Anything in the XIVBattlegroup, Paragon, Monitor, ColossusMk.III, Heron, Scintilla, Fulgent, and last but certainly not least coming in a close second to the Omen is the ******* RADIANT!!!

The Dram! What does a tanker need? Obviously it's a missile mount!

P.S. Fotsvamp your Dram post is spicy. Well said!

[Kronox]

Odyssey, easy.

meh

Those are fighting words.

Astral better

bait used to be believable

that post was way more harsh... I was talking about how much Odyssey sucks. And then said "astral better". But I edited it down, cause I didn't want to come out as too mean to people

this was the original post

yes, you can read it in Chuck McGill's voice

Spoiler

Odyssey, easy.

High Tech ship with less shields than Onslaught

Imagine attaching a whatever shield-gen post scriptum onto an ancient model of a military vessel designed for a completely different age and it somehow outperforms a freaking military-grade science vessel that was so expensive it most likely toppled a whole several corporate entities.

1.0 with 15k flux... What a joke.
45 DP cost and has actually slower frontal mobility than Onslaught. Because Onslaught's burn drive accelerates it to above 200 max speed in a second.

Large Synergy launcher made to point backwards. In case Cyclone was too good.
Carrier hangar bays for all the nerfed wings. All the amazing choices like Trident, Warthog and Claw just waiting to disappoint you.

I definitely prefer the Astral

[on a more serious note I actually went and compared the microburn with burn drive average speed increase. And it ends up being the fact that Onslaught is actually 10 units faster on average when traversing the map offensively (correction 5)]

[Princess of Evil]

I love the comparison of a low tech premium battleship and a high tech battlecruiser.
But of course, you can't compare Oddy to a lower tech battlecruiser, because one is so slow it's genuinely slower than some full on battleships, and the other is a glass cannon but without the cannon.

Non-Burn Drive mobility abilities suck, though. That's a fact.

[Kastellaria]

Onslaught definitely (and Victory if you accept modded ships for answer)

It's actually the cheapest Battleship in the game
It's faster than most Battleships too. In fact it's the fastest.

Unless you count the drone ones. Guardian and Radiant. Both being kinda dumb. As Radiant is in actuality 75 DP. And Guardian is a boss entity


And Odyssey is a PREMIUM Battlecruiser. It costs 45 DP. And yet it pays all this for... Squalls and 4 additional Sabots every 30 seconds, that it has to spend additional 10 OP for DTA. Cause these are so weak. That they will most likely die the moment they leave the ship

Onslaught just *** destroys everything. It's the most utterly stupidly broken ship in the entire game (human). And it should be freaking nerfed into the ground the way Astral was.

Make its TPC's have 1.0 flux efficiency and I'll be happy.

[Naeblis]

Any of the Sindrian military ships, at least visually.
