The KEV-12, one of the most balanced ship designs, tends to be my ship of
choice. While it's slow and its weapons range isn't the greatest, it is
the most vicious mother if you happen to be caught in its sights. A salvo
of 8 obliterator torps will get almost anyone's attention (they're equally
effective at any range within their specs, as opposed to photons which are
most effective at greater ranges), and the KEV carries
of the little darlings. Plus, they regenerate over time, thus obviating the need to pay rapacious starbase operators for essential equipment. Add to that
60 phasers and 20 drones, and you have a platform that will give anyone
pause.So what if you want to run from an apparently superior opponent? The KEV-12 also comes equipped with a 60-second cloaking device. Unclued opponents will fail to look for the invisible elephant, allowing you to sneak away and lick your wounds. (Don't try this against plasma chuckers, though... they can hit you even if they can't see you.)
In short, it should be obvious why I love the KEV-12.
