I like the Thraddash against just about anything. It owns the Ur-Quan, Kohr-Ar, Chmmr, Androsynth, Pkunk, and most other ships.
It's weak against the Druuge, Earthling, and Chenjesu, but hey, nothing's perfect.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Heh... Try doing Thraddash tricks against a decent human player. They won't work.
Of the heavy ships I like the Kohr-Ah the best. It takes some skill, has several kinds of viable strategy: insane damage pump, pillbox, sniper, mine-layer. Its weapons form very solid defenses that block anything but Fearballs and confusion rays.
Of the lighter ships, I like the Supox. They can put out a large amount of damage in multiple bursts from medium range, and can dodge easily. They also have a small target profile if rotated correctly.
As far as Ur-Quan vs. Spathi is concerned, yeah, the Spathi have a major native upper hand. Solution? First, you can try going very quickly via a grav whip or two. Done properly, the Spathi actually can't keep up. This will let you 'scan' across it as a target, substituting timing as a continuous aiming variable for rotation as a discrete one. This helps a lot.
This works for both Kohr-Ah and Kzer-Za, but the Kzer-Za can use it better due to a faster moving main.

Don't forget the chmmr killer - Druuge = Dead chmmr.

Favorite heavy: The Chenjesu. If it had the Chmmr's speed and energy recharge rate it would be unstoppable. As it is, it's nearly unstoppable.
Favorite light: Arilou. Not sure if that's really true or not, but it's as good a pick as any.

^ Not to mention that skillful use of the tractor beam can allow you to avoid the FRIED without losing any Zapsats.
