Lore: TIE Defender. I love that rebels practically peed their pants each time they saw one.

In game: TIE Striker. So much fun to fly.

Looks: Gunboat. Beautiful ship, I can't look away from it.

Overall: Striker/Gunboat.

Lore: B-wing

In-Game: Millenium Falcon

Looks: ARC-170

All-around: Millenium Falcon

Lore: Slave I

In-Game : Slave I

Looks: Slave I

All Around: Slave I

The ship was absolutely striking in Empire Strikes Back as well as Boba Fett. I like those two aspects mostly from the Legends but Slave I in episode II did very well.

Lore:

1. T-65 X-Wing

2. TiE Series (yes, the entirety- it's the evolution and specialist craft that capture my interest- but for single craft it's a tie (Pun intended) between Fighter/ Interceptor/ Striker)

3. BTL (any) Y-Wing

In-Game:

1. TiE Striker

2. TiE Phantom

3. VT-49 Decimator

Looks:

1. TiE Striker

2. VT-49 Decimator

3. T-65 X-Wing

Overall:

1. TiE Striker

2. VT-49 Decimator

3. T-65 X-Wing

I would have to say the YT-2400 all around. It is a lovely smuggling vessel, I loved 'Shadows of the Empire', so for that reason I like the lore aspects of it.
I have been an avid dash player ever since I started playing a couple of years ago.. Throwing a ton of dice, while arc-dodging was what made me love dash.. Even if he isn't QUITE as fun anymore (since there are so many turrets and stress-ful mechanics that makes super-dash redundant), he is still my all time favourite ship/pilot to fly! All hail the big barrel roll!
It looks awesome too, a different take on a freighter, than the all-beloved falcon, but those facets I like as well.

So for the overall category... Let's for side-kick sake take the B-wing, another of my favourite ships! :-)

Lore: B-Wing

In-Game: B-Wing

Looks: Kihraxz Fighter (Guns for Hire paint scheme)

All-around: B-Wing

Lore: YT-1300 (Millennium Falcon)

Cool, rankings updated.

@Brunas and @Vargas79, of the ships you gave for the lore category, is there one that's your favorite in that category? Similarly, @Warlon, you gave two options for your overall pick. Is there one in particular that you'd like me to put down for you?

Also, I want to like everyone's posts but this thread is creating them faster than my reaction tanks can recharge.

Gunboat for overall.

Can I just say Defender for everything?

I loved it in TIE Fighter, and it was the reason I started buying models in Wave IV.

Since then it's gone into new canon with Rebels (A show I love). Not only was it a true threat, but it also makes sense why it isn't in the OT.

I suppose I better vote then...

Lore: GUNBOOOOOOOOOOOOAT *A-A-A-AIRHORN*

In Game: T-65 X-Wing with Flight Assist Astromech. Such fun.

Looks: T-65 X-Wing.

All Round: GUNBOOOOOOOOOOOOAT *A-A-A-AIRHORN*

Oh, ok. I had just put you down for GUNBOAT for everything. :P

You can't expect me to follow obvious instructions, what's wrong with you. Put it down for the lambda, though our boy D O U B L E E D G E will rise again

Lore: TIE/SF

In-Game: TIE/SF

Looks: Protectorate Starfighter (It really does look cool)

All-Around: TIE/SF

I really like that TIE fighter! I just like the First Order's whole (we're not F***ing around anymore) approach to a lot of their weapons.

Lore: y wing

ingame: tie defender

looks: ywing

all around: ywing

Tie fighter

Lore: T-70 x-wing

In-Game: protectorate starfighter

Looks: SF tie

All-around: Protectarate starfighter:

Imperial Raider. Looks, balance and design. The fact that the game got it turned into being an in-universe ship.

And it's so much fun to fly.

Closely followed by the X-wing. And the Gunboat. And the decimator. And... arc.

Y-wing all around.

Lore: The Falcon

In game: Silencer

Looks: Call me crazy but I've always found the Tie Bomber to be elegantly beautiful.

Overall: Clearly The Falcon.

Lore: HWK-290

In-Game: Tie-Advanced

Looks: A-Wing

All-around: DARTH VADER, equal parts intimidating and basically useless at the same time. Always one wrong move away from spinning off into space like an idiot.
