As a suggestion from someone, I decided to start this little thread to see what ship loadouts people recommend and why.
Please submit them in the following format:
Ship: (ie Assault Cruiser)
Loadout:
(Include offical names such as Particle Cannon rather than Pcannon)
Credits Required:(if possible, subtract the amount of credits you have in-game with the ship out from the credits on your profile*not required*)
Also, if you can, include a little description of why you like it.. such as low power management, etc.

Torpedo Cruiser:
Particle Cannons, Proton Torpedos, Ablative Armor, Auxiliary Power Generators, AME Engine, Antimatter Jumpdrive, 1 beacon/pulsebeam on the full slot.
Why? enough power for top speed firing for a while, ablative armor is everything, and all that force on whatever is in front of you is awesome.

Ship: Siphon
Loadout: - All reactors
- All beams DA+Ruptors lvl 10 (NO cannons because of the arc bug! you want to focus all damage on the arc you are hitting, not the arc + the front of a ship)
- AME drives (for speed to dodge beacons and other dreads better, energy really is not an issue, ill explain later)
- AMJD (obvious reasons)
- Fusion torps lvl 10
Extra Info: To work with AME drives, you either have 2 choices. 1) you fly in cloaked to your target ready to alpha, alpha as many times as you want to take, but only fire the SI and DAs once. After that you jump out and cloak, then dont move untill your energy goes up at a decent speed. If you fire your DAs to much then try to jump and cloak, even at 0 velocity, you run the risk of getting that cloak bug because there will be no energy to cloak. 2) You jump to your target and land one alpha, then turn away and cloak. If you do this in a large fleet of enemies you have to constantly look around 360 degs for incomming beacons. I recommend getting used to jumping in at full speed and being able to land 150-300 gu from the target. If you can do that, beacons are not a problem (unless the ship your alpha'ing has beacons on the arc you are shooting at)
Ship: Battle Cruiser
Loadout: - All reactors
- All Particle Cannons (lvl 6)
- AME drives
- AMJD
- Fusion torps lvl 6
Extra Info: Reason for F torps is because in this version you will most likely be fighting cruisers and dessies. Combining self detonation with F torps speed and accuracy is really effective against destroyer classes
Ship: Battle Dread
Loadout: - All reactors
- All Particle Cannons (lvl 6)
- AME drives
- AMJD
- Fusion torps lvl 10
Extra Info: With the ammount of cannons on the Battle Dread, you can afford to lose some fire power for some speedy cannons.
Oh yea, I have seen this before... Do not use any flux beams or emp cannons on kluth... they have auto hull repair.

Heavy Cruiser
- All Particle Cannons
- All Fusion Torps
- All Reactors
- Active Shields
- AMJD
- IE Engines
The Heavy Cruiser is by far one of the best cruiers in the past versions, giving that it is technicaly sound in most forms of combat. It has enough power to hold it's own against stronger ships, and enough shielding to take a beating. It's energy pool is well off, but can run out of juice if pushed to hard. If you want a strong combat ship, that can handle most problems.. This is it.

I'll do my favorite ship from each faction:
Assault Dreadnaught
Loadout
Low Slots: All Particle Cannons lvl 10
High Slots: All Fusion Torpedos lvl 10
Beam Slots: Heavy Chemical Lasers lvl 10
Misc: IE drives lvl 10, AntiMatter Jumpdrive lvl 10, all special slots reactors lvl 2, Standard Armor lvl 10, Active shields lvl 10, Pulse shield lvl 4, Ion Cannon lvl 10.
Explanation
This is not a ship you can go meandering off on your own with. It is meant to be the ganker, with smaller vessels running interception and point defence for you (notice no defensive lasers or beacons). The drives can be modified slightly to suit your combat style, but generally IEs or PFEs; energy can be an issue once that Ion Cannon starts going off. Standard armor is also recommended because it can recharge on its own, allowing the Assault Dread to jump in, gank whatever is in range, and jump out after taking damage. The point jump is critical; you're not going to catch much in this flying around, but with a good pilot it is destructive.
Claw Destroyer
Loadout
Low slots: Particle Cannons lvl 5, Pulse beam lvl 5 in the full arc spot.
High slots: Fusion torpedoes lvl 5
Heavy Beam Slot: None
Misc: AME drives lvl 10, AnitMatter Jumpdrive lvl 10, reactors-cloak-armor-autorepair all fully upgraded
Explanation
This ship can be deadly on its own, but is extremely effective in wolfpacks of two or three (See: Nu-B). The pulse beam is there in case you get lazy in your dodging, as this ship can dodge essentially anthing that is lobbed its way. Energy is a nonissue, so long as the torpedoes are only used at close range and aren't just being shot out for the entire engagement. It is important to keep your enemy directly in front of you, where all of your guns can fire. The cloak comes in handy here, allowing you to outmaneuver and then reposition behind your opponent.
Torpedo Cruiser
Loadout
Low Slots: All Particle cannons lvl 6, with a Becaon and Pulse beam in the full arc slots
High Slots: All lvl 6 Fusion Torpedoes
Heavy Beam Slots: None
Misc: Either IE or AME drives lvl 10, Antimatter Jumpdrive lvl 10, Standard armor except ablative armor on the aft arc, reactors-flux-etc all fully upgraded.
Explanation
The engines can go either way. Energy is not a problem so long as the Fusion torps are used effectively (not just lobbing them at the target once the torpedo icon turns pretty green), or unless you opt for AM torpedoes, which can be devastating at close ranges. Since there is only one armor slot covering your aft, the ablative armor is imperative, giving you as much protection from the widely used particle or psi cannons as possible. Again, I use Standard armor on the other slots because they can recharge on their own while sitting in the depths of space. As with the Claw, it is imperative to keep your target in front of you.

Bomber Dreadnaught
Weapons:
16 x Level 10 Particle Cannons
9 x Level 0 MiRV bombs (108 bombs total)
Shields/Armor
4 x lvl 10 Active Shielding
3 x lvl 10 Standard Armor
Other stuff:
4 x IE Drives lvl 10
5 x lvl 2 generators
1 x lvl 10 Antimatter Jump Drive
Reason I fly this ship:
Easily the most versatile ship in the game. With its payload of 108 MiRV bombs there isnt very many planets stand a chance. In case of combat action I fire up the 16 lvl 10 particle cannons, which in turn will give any ship that tries to stop me a run for its money, running off its 5 reactors I can stay in combat for quite a while. Not only is it a fine fighter/bomber it is an amazing prestige machine. In a matter of 6 hours I gained an astounding 4000 prestige and captured ALL of kluth space singlehandedly. To this date Ive only lost a couple of these fine ships, but the prestige gained off them easily covers the loss.
Conclusion: If your looking for a veratile ship that not only kicks ars but makes a statement as well, look no further than the ICC Bomber Dreadnaught. The Flagship of Champions.

Agincourt carrier class Dreadnought.
Loadout
All; Ion Engine.
All; Standard Armor
All; A-34 Panther Assault Fighter.
All left and right only weapon slots; Particle Cannons
One front,left,right; EMP Cannon
One front,left,right; Particle Cannon
One rear, left,right; Particle Cannon
One front,left,right; Pulse Beam
One rear, left,right; Pulse Beam
One front,left,right; Standard Chemical Laser
One rear, left,right; Standard Chemical Laser
Five; ECM
One; Auxiliary Power Generator
One; AntiMatter Jump Drive
Reason
only got two dreads avalable this one and the carrier dread, this one suites my taste more.
Usage. This is no powerboat its a support ship.
mutch like the origional ICC missile dread this ship is to be used from a distance. Best whit this boat is not to exceed the speed of 9 gu/s
becous than under ideal conditions your signature wil turn positive with ECM on. With your ECM on you won't be detected easely, and at 3000 to 4500 gu from enemy your not even there most important target. Try to make due with the 40 fighters you have, but don't forget the might get shot down, so make sjure there are supply ships out there or depo planets near by. Under ideal conditions you just tugg fort under negative sig,
and try to keep up with the battles, your fighters wil do the rest. Under close combat conditions try to get beside your target and use your lateral particle cannons by number, preserve your pulse and or chemical lasers for Point defence. Remember your a dreadnough and turn like a fat ladie in a airplain toilet (no offence out there), you don't have that manny close combat weapons so try to avoid it at all if posable. If your close to a friendly station try to cover it with your ecm to help, or try to outflank the enemy under ECM.
Final tip,
Even if this ship relies closely on ECM your maximum speed when using ecm is under 10gu/s so no supporting bombers, unless you absolutely know what your doing. Becous trying to get 1200 gu away from a enemy planet is tough especialy when you can only go 15gu/s and a planet wil defect even negative sig under 600 gu.
So watch where you go in this boat.
[edit] format.

Ship: Scale
Layout:
12 x Particle Cannons
3 x PSI Cannons
1 x Pulse Beam(360 slot)
8 x Fusion Torps.
Reason: This ship is highly manuverable and packs a pay load out of it front arc. With a good ability to dodge most fire and deleiver a hurting back I don't see much reason to fly many other kluth ships.
Ship: Brood
Layout:
4 x IE Drives
3 x Aux Gens
1 x Scanner and 1 x ECCM
1 x Beacon(360 slot)
5 x PSI Cannons
5 x Disruptors
2 x PSI Missiles
3 x Fusion Torps
3 x Nuetron bombs (Thats 36 bombs)
4 x Disruptors Assualt
4 x Larvae Hoarde
1 x K'luth Build
Reason: This ship is the best all around ship I can find. Can bomb, build, and holds it own very well in combat. I like it to defend and sniff out bombers then take their ecm cover away. Fun ship to take into invasion, can bomb/build/create depots/sniff bombers/combat. Not to much more you need really.

Ship: Heavy Supply (UGTO)
Mod:
AMJD Drive: lvl10
stock ie drives: lvl10
full ECM: max
pulse lasers all the way around
full ablative armor
Reason:
AMJD to keep up w/ agincourt if so equipped. IE drives provide adequate power for at least one run while ECM's are active, or anything else. Pulse lasers assist in any defensesive firing... ...although long stays while under fire can drain power (caution). Ablative to maximize stay time to assist fellow players as needed, including taking damage yourself intentionally rather than another player (you can fix yourself later)
