Your top ship?

[Guardian262]

whats your fav ship(s) of each nation/faction you play

for me
Pirates-The Deliverance (awesome) and The Feathered Hat (loved the look and the name)
American-The USS Stephens (first 5 mast I got and its an amazing ship) and The Appalachian (same reasons as The Feathered Hat)
Cursed-The Flying Dutchman (an epic ship that spells doom for any opponent) and Brachyura (awesome giant crab, nuf said)

USA: it's hard to pick one; there are so many that always come through for me. It's either the Enterprise or the Franklin.
Corsairs: no question, it's the Nubian Prince, for the headaches she gives my friendly enemies every time I use her.

The Franklin is undeniably great.

My favourite ships overall are the HMS Lord Algernon and HMS Lord Walpole, with the following as some of my ships that have seen many a battle on the high seas:

England: HMS Grand Temple, HMS Titan, HMS Lady Provost, Aberdeen Baron.
France: Soleil Royal, Vengeance, Bonaparte (DJC)
Spain: El Acorazado (SM), La Joya del Sol, El San Jose
Pirates: Raven, Cursed Blade, Recreant
Americans: Enterprise, Blackwatch
Cursed: Divine Dragon, Fallen Angel (with Death's Anchor in tow)
Mercenaries: Forward

Which Deliverance is that, the CC version or the OE one? I have the OE version, but have the CC version on my want list .

So many more could be listed!

The Algernon! Many a time have I faced that ship down (with great respect for it).

France: 1- Le Bon Marin; 2- Le Superbe; 3- Le Bonaparte
America: 1- Franklin; 2- USS Quigley; 3- USS Springfield (NOT)
England: 1- HMS Titan; 2- HMS Grand Temple; 3- HMS Gallows

This brings up the question: I have a pretty stacked 250- point fleet with both the Titan and HMS Grand Temple in it, which one do you guys think is better? Which should I consider my "flagship?"

Is it not possible to use both ?
It depends on how much you need the GT's ability with the Pirate crew, and then there is the question of speed: the GT with a helmsman can move much faster (S+S+S) than the Titan for the same amount of points. If you have to pick one, good luck figuring it out!

I do use both, and of course they both rock hardcore. I do make use of the GT's pirate crew abilities, I have aboard it the MI Hermione Gold, as well as Calico Cat, and a pirate helmsman and oarsman because I don't have enough generic English crew to satisfy all 7 English ships in that fleet. Titan has just a captain, helmsman, and oarsman. With these crew loadouts, I think GT is better, but the Titan does carry with it a certain reputation for destruction...

Thanks everyone for your professional opinions!

A little late to the thread...

In addition to the ones already mentioned:

England: HMS London, Cygnet, HMS Dover, HMS Victor, HMS Hound, HMS Oxford
France: L'Ange Del La Mar, Le Triton, La Bonne Chance
Spain: San Cristobal (duh), Santa Ana (SCS), La Santa Isabel, El Algeciras
US: Hudson, President, Providence, Boston, Kettering, Native Canoes =)
Pirate: Eagle, El Ballista, Sea Nymph (SM), Lady's Scorn, Longshanks
Cursed: Executioner, Pestilence
Barbary: Jackal's Teeth, Meshud (I love the Nubian too CCMike!), Tiger's Eye, Queen of Sheba
Norse: uh... Naegling, Muninn
Jade: Virtuous Wind
Merc: Celtic Fury, Devil Ray, and if I had her the Revolution

I don't really pay Jade or Norse (and rarely use Merc unless a 10 master is involved). I love USA ships most I think, although their crew sucks so much it makes it hard to play many of their ships.
