Yes, TIE Defender. Lets look at the stats:

+ Fastest

+ Hardest-hitting

+ Tractor Beam

+ Hyperdrive

+ Cool looking (3 wings!)

+ flown by Wedge and All of rouge squadron at one point

+ Scared Everybody

+ White 4K

- Too cool for its own good.

Is that answer repeated five times?

@Kieransi

T-65 for lore, in-game, and looks.

So therefor the obvious all around is the Sheathipede.... (j/k)

Lore: (not done much so just doing something simple) TIE fighter

in-game: B/SF-17 bomber

looks: lambda (something to be said about that ship, even if I’ve yet to fly it)

all-around: B/SF-17 bomber

Lore: Punisher. It's simple: Moar bombs, more missiles, more torpedoes... I love the Bomber, and this is a Bomber+... at least in the lore.

In-Game: TIE/D with Ruthlessness... It's just fun to shoot things twice

Looks: Ehm... StarVipers... I mean. TIE Advanced Prototype

All around: It has to be the Punisher... That ship made me want to play the game.

Oh no! I forgot that I have two favorite ships. I must now retreat and reconsider my life choices that have led me here.....

Lore : E-Wing, Y-Wing, TIE Defender

In-Game : TIE Defender, Gunboat (though the Defender should still be better. Boost at a minimum, Tech or systems slot as well)

Looks : E-Wing, Gunboat

All-around : TIE Defender

Lore : VT-49 Decimator

In-Game : TIE/sf

Looks : Raider -class Corvette

All-around: TIE/sf

I'd say lore for me would be the E-Wing, I really like the idea of high-tech advanced starfighters, and the E-Wing always seemed neat whenever it popped up.

In-game would be the TIE S/F, lots of fun varied builds with that ship and it's pretty reliable.

Looks: Starviper I think, especially with the Guns for Hire red and black scheme. Can't go wrong with the Death Butterfly!

Gunboat, Gunboat, Gunboat, Gunboat

Lore : Squint. The first "dangerous looking" TIE

In-Game : TAP if I want to die fast like the tongue of a snake, or Defender if I want to die slower than the molasses in January.

Looks : X-Wing T-65.

All-around : TAP. Live fast, die young.

Lore : A-wing - looks cool, fast as ****, and you need to be crazy to fly one.

In-Game : A-wing

Looks : A-Wing

All-around : A-wing

Lore: A-Wing

In-Game: T70 X-Wing

Looks: A-Wing

All-Around: A-Wing

Lore : T65 X-wing

In-game : A-wing

Looks : Tie/ln; if possible loads of them, in tight formation <3

All-around : T65 X-wing

Lore: B-Wing

In-Game: TIE Defender

Looks: Protectorate Starfighter

All-Around: B-Wing

Lore: Firespray

In-Game: Tie Silencer (honorable mention to the protectorate fighter)

Looks: Starviper

It's the TIE Fighter for all categories. Been my favorite since it appeared as the very first Star Wars fighter on screen in ANH. Flying swarms in formation is what got me to play x-wing. Unfortunately the game has moved on from the humble TIE/LN and my enthusiasm for x-wing has waned accordingly. :(

Lore: *the* Millennium Falcon

In-Game: StarViper

Looks: T65 X-Wing (this was the hardest choice to make)

All-around: StarViper, because it has become too much fun to not fly

LORE - B-wing

IN-GAME - StarViper

LOOKS - X-wing (T-65)

ALL-AROUND - StarViper

X-Wing (The real one, T-65), Y-wing, A-Wing, B-Wing, Falcon, Tie Fighter, Tie Bomber, Tie Interceptor and the Shuttle for all the answers!!!

1) Millennium Falcon

2) Millennium Falcon

3) Millennium Falcon

I was 7 years old in 1979. That toy has left an indelible mark upon my psyche.

In case it’s not obvious, overall favorite:

Millennium Falcon

So I'm kinda caught up with the polling now. @Alpha17 , @Darth Meanie , and @drail14me , so if you needed to pick just one of the ships for each category, what would they be?

And just an FYI to @GameError , @ScummyRebel , and @BlodVargarna , you also get to pick an overall favorite in addition to the three categories.
