Best ship in the game?
Now that is easy …

This forum really needs a dislike button.
Raider but the Gozanti is very close. But the CR-90 is just so iconic and for best support, even without guns, I'd say the GR-75.

Your hate is clouding your judgment. Let go of your attachment to the movies and see the ship designs for what they really are. Enlightened space ship designs they are, not crude prequel dialog.
I love them all in different ways; thus the addiction. But although I'm still not one, watching a master fly this one, well....it's got to be the cat's pajamas:
omega leader juke comms relay
...i played imperials just once. i own 12 imperial ships. nazi f************ 
Jumpmaster, TIE Defender?
What do you think is the best ship in the game?
I can tell you the best ship NOT in the game...
Oh, I'm really torn. I love the Tie Bomber and think it's competitive, even if everyone disagrees with me. Still....I'm going to be focusing on Epic play for a while and I think I'm going to go with Raider.
If you want to say most OP ship.....then I'll go with Soontir Fel. He got my vote for WORST ship in the game as he's so OP than he just bends the meta around him. For example, I don't think U-boats are that nasty, it's just that you have to build a list that can beat them.....AND beat Imp Aces. There are lots of things that can kill U-boats, but they die to Imp Aces. So, is the problem really U-boats? Or is it that we have come to accept Soontir Fel as the default ship that your list has to beat? Evidence for my case is all the anti-Soontir stuff that FFG has been pumping out for the past couple waves. Also, the idea of pushing jousting as more of an option over arc dodging.
the biggest difference between fel and U-boats is you can ruin soontir's **** with conners
not so much the other way round 
In a pure 1 on 1 fight, then there's no question... it's the Raider 
Technically it's a tie between ARCs and Firesprays.

Well of course the Firespray lost that exchange - his guns weren't big enough!
4-dice spray would've been cool
Clearly it's the Mazz HLC Firespray! 
It's a moving target. It was Han Solo early on, but Darth Vader and Soontir took over. Phantoms were massively OP for a bit, but they got nerfed. Then scum came out - I think scum has the best ships. Their pilots are a little weaker, but their ships are really a good deal for the base pilots (ignoring the unpronounceable ones - Schyykh and Khchyrxykx). FFG had to make scum have slightly better ships to make up for their lack of options, since they're newer and have had less expansions released.
The jumpmaster is probably the fattest, most OP thing I've ever seen. We'll see how long it lasts! I'm wondering what the next big thing will be...
Edited by KieransiI love Whipser, and I also love pairing her with Kenkirk. Kenkirk, with Isard and palpatine, is insanly good. With Palp you can help Whisper, and if Whisper dies, you can make Kenkirk so difficult to kill. Whipser died on me once mid-game, and Kenkirk soloed the rest of the list.
My opinion:
Best value: Z 95
Most fun to fly (tie): K-wing, Tie inteceptor/A-wing
Best ship (meaning that it can do many things well and has most pilots that people use): Jumpmaster
