    Your favourite Shmup ships?

    Shoot em ups are great. The majority of them have great artwork and some of the ships are sexy. Even when they're drawn in pixels.
    So let's have it. I wanna hear/see (leave pics) of ships in your armada of heroes.

    Will you have a Silvergun, a CNCS1, a Vic Viper, a D117B, a Gunhed, a Fire Leo-03 Styx, an R-9 Arrowhead, a Solvalou, a Twinbee or ...?

    One of my faves is the CNCS1 from Hellfire. It had this kind of generic look to it, but I liked the way it changed its gun and colours depending on the shot type you changed to.

    Man, Toaplan made some decent shooters didn't they?

      Fighting Thunder (Raiden)
      Thunder Blade (not a ship specifically speaking, but still up there)

              A bunch of them went to form different studios after Toaplan went bust (including CAVE and Gazelle).

                I do love Vic Viper because I've been (virtually) piloting one for years.



                I quite like it when they're based on real aircraft from an alternate reality. There's an anime series called Yukikaze that had a Japan-only Xbox release.


                Macros Plus has some sweet ships, but am I cheating with games based on anime?

                  I always had a soft spot for the Byupo from Viewpoint.

                    For me it's the parodius ships, the octopus is my goto favourite.

                      Personally, I prefer Pentarou but octopi and penguins clearly aren’t ships!

                        I will accept that octopus and his penguin friend. They did a great job in the galaxy.

                          They shoot bullets, they are biological ships.
