Assuming we're talking graphic size, not mass of said ships...
Favorite Heavyweight: Chenjesu Broodhome. Space artillery rocks.
Favorite Middleweight: Androsynth Guardian. As so eloquently put by Shiver, "OMGWTFBBQ!!!" 
Favorite Lightweight: Slylandro Probe: I was once chided for playing the Probe by an opponent. "Geez," he said, "You're like fighting Emperor Palpatine on speed!"
Lightweight Runnerup: Umgah Drone. Butt-slamming. If you haven't experienced it, do so.
The thing people have the most trouble with when flying the Probe is trying to discern a "front" and "back" of the ship. There isn't one. The whole thing is "ship", and "front" happens to be whichever way you're speeding along at given time. The Probe is easier to fly because you don't have to constantly push thrust, and when you do hit thrust, you get an instant 180, one of the most useful (what I consider) special abilities in the game. It's unaffected by gravity/Avatar sucking (unless limpeted, but why would you get stuck with limpets in the first place?  ), it's got an auto-aiming weapon, and it's just plain zippy. Only problem is weak hull.

I love being a clone. Everything I do bad gets blamed on the real me!

I am a big fan or the blade, eluder, and the nemasis (I do not use marines with the nemasis, it is not worth the crew loss), though I am quite profitient with most ships.
Two ships which I have not learned to fly very well are the dreadnaught and the marauder. I hear that the marauder is possibly the best ship in the game, so I should 'learn.'

I like melee better when you can have one of each ship in a fleet. That would be my #1 suggestion (yes dj, even over online uqm)

Zeep-eep - It is hard NOT to win with a Thraddash against a CPU - They just ignore the flames (and the damage that it is causing) and chases you. Every tried that against a human opponet?

No one has done it, and I dont think its planned. All though if you know how to do it and your feeling generous

It is pretty easy to take a CPU with a earthling AS LONG as you stay near the edge. Try it with a human opponet though....

Keep in mind that if the situation were reversed and he was talking about killing cruisers with dreadnaughts youd say that same thing. He is a human too.
