Hm.  I'd say that this roughly equals the ships I can't fly worth a damn, that said...

0.  Broodhome.  Never could use this ship right;  Always ended up in a bad situation with an enemey that just won't get close enough to my sights to shoot at, shard or otherwise.

1.  Druuge.  I hate the people, I hate the ship, I usually smile when I see them die, even when i'm burning with them.  I really don't like them, ok?

2.  Ilwrath vs. Ilwrath fights PvP are really damn funny, (like the Pkunk vs. Pkunk or Chmmr duels we had) but in general use this ship is just wierd.  I find it even less entertaining to fly than the umgah, but I kinda like them, so... ;3

3.  Utwig.  I hate using the shield.  Not because it's cheesy, it's because i'm horrible at it.

4.  Mycon.  Appears to work just like a cruiser.  Why the heck can't I fly this thing?  Granted, most anyone with most ships vs. a Mycon can at least stalemate (plasma isn't THAT hard to defeat), but the earthlings, with much worse a weapon seem to be so much more effective in my paws.  Odd, and frustrating.

5.  Zoq-Fot-Pik.  I can't tounge someone worth a dime, but I knew this guy that was absolutely murderous with this ship.  Turned Leyland Tounge-lashing to a fine art, and annoyed the hell out of me, when I wasn't awed by the fact this measly point-nothing ship is ripping apart my fleet.

6.  Suppox Blade.  Powerful ship.  Every time I experiment with this ship I realize it's really, really powerful.  Totally awesome power potential, kinda like dancing with the Sofixiti's gun, but way better range and a secondary system that's very powerful if used right.  'Cept I couldn't use it right to save my life.  I'd say my friends have gotten more perfects off me when I was in this boat than any other ship.

Most annoying: Arilou Skiff Warping
Ugliest : Umgah
Weakest: ?  The Umgah drone is pretty weak...

Verdict: Worst = Umgah Drone

mmm i like all the ships really.

I prefer to fly an umgah drone than a kohr-ah marauder ! Much more fun. I actually get some success with it.

Umgah Drone. It's 2 slow and it's weapon range 2 small. Flying backwards sucks. It's impossible 2 do any damage against hunam player with it. 


At least, after they nerfed it for SC2. In SC1 it was a bit more dangerous.

Hey, that's intresting. How is it different from SC1? Are other ships different between SC1 and Supermelee? I searched the Wiki but couldn't find the answer.

The cone was wider, I believe.

There are a couple of other differences.

The Androsynth in Blazer mode turned much more awkwardly than it does in SC2. It seemed to turn at 30 degree angles, making it much more difficult to ram opponents.

Also, Ur-Quan fighters die instantaneously when colliding with the planet. Ships like the Arilou can just sit behind the planet and watch the fun.

Anyhoo, back on topic: my least favorite is the Supox.

I have to say I hate the Supox too ship… It just sucks.


I love the Androsynth ship… My brother forced me to use it all the time when I was a kid… and in the end I got to be really good with them.

Did SC2 have the Androsynth in super melee? I know UQM does and just thought this was an addition by the UQM team.
