Ships:
1. Icaras Fury. My choice about 95% of the time. For having 100 speed it's quite agile, much more so than Piranha. Only its shield is terrible so I get eliminated often.
2. Harimau Fury. This is my Icaras alternative when I feel I might need more on the side of handling. Acceleration is not a big deal to me since I can usually overtake people by cutting corners sharper.
3. Feisar Fury. I'll use Fiesar when I want a little more kick to my start, and an overall lighter ship. It isn't bad, but after having raced with Icaras for so long, its speed is a little disappointing.
Tracks: My reason for liking these courses the best is more or less the same: I can maneuver the most accurately on these and I love the feeling of doing so!
1. Modesto Heights fwd.
2. The Amphiseum rev.
3. Chenghou Project rev.
Great topic!
I'm always curious about other zoners' flavours
Ships:
Feisar Fury:
+ well balanced ship, good thrust and shields
+ awesome handling, on sebenco and sol2 can really make the difference
+ good design
- a little bit of more thrust/speed and it would have been the perfect ship
- it was easier to barrel roll with the HD version
AG-Sys HD:
+ the classic ship before the "Fury"
+ my first love
- a bit slow
Icaras HD:
+ the best looking ship imo
+ awesome to "fly high"!
+ great br-eater
- its shields are made of paper
- less thrust than the fury version
Tracks:
Sebenco Climb: my nightmare when I was a newby. My dream once I understood how to face those turns
Sol2 reverse: Awesome and very smooth!
The Amphiseum reverse: That suortcut is pure genious!
Tracks:
1 - Ubermall Forward while drinking Whiskey
2 - Metropia Reverse while drinking Super Bock (portuguese beer)
3 - Sol 2 Forward while drinking Caipirinha (Cachaça, Limes, Lot's of crushed Ice and yellow sugar)
Ships:
1 - Furymau
2 - AG Systems
3 - Piranha (from the heart)
Always Drink (a lot!) before flying!
X
Jeez. At least you're not driving. hahahaha
My Top 3 Tracks:
1. Chenghou Forward - My favourite. Extremely technical. At first it was the most horrible to conquer, but now it's great to race on at Phantom speed.
2. Talon´s Junction Forward - Very cool design. Feels really nice to race on, in Phantom of course. The freeway under the transparent floor looks awesome!
3. Tech de Ra Forward - Again, the transparent floor is beautiful and so are the rocky surroundings. Solar panels are future-ish.
My Top 3 Ships:
1. AG-Systems Fury - Great manouverability AND acceleration.
2. Icaras Fury - Pink AND fast. Outstanding in Venom and Flash.
3. Piranha Fury - Really cool design.
See you all in 3D soon!
Tracks (it's kinda hard only to choose 3!)
* Metropia rev The flow of this track is just beautiful and I get in a slightly better mood whenever I race it. Even when I lose horribly. My all-time favorite.
* Vineta K fwd Again, I think it just got that sweet flow.
* Modesto Heights fwd|Sebenco Climb|Chengou Project Sorry, can't decide. Modesto really only works for me on TT/SL, it's a complete PITA on MP. Sebenco/Chengou on the other hand are just all-round fun to race.
Ships
* AG-Systems HD - my only true love, but alas now abandoned for now
* Furymau - It looks like it is about to stab you!
* Fury Piranha - snap snap snap!
Personal top 3:
Tracks
1. Modesto Heights FWD - This track is perfect in every way.
2. Veneta K FWD - Love the underwater part, such awesome water effects on the hull.
3. Sol 2 BWD - 100s of metres above the sky, clouds look so realistic, floaty floaty. Ppl always beat me fwd so bwd it is.
Ships
1. Auricom (Original HD v.) - Great speed, rly like the ship design
2. Harimau (Fury v.) - Im Malaysian lol.
3. Assegai (Original HD v.) Ship reminds me of Heracross, my favourite Pokemon.

Yo Haywire_Guy, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Mewtwo is the best Pokémon of all time. The best Pokémon of all time!
At the moment, here are my favorites:
Tracks:
1. The Amphiseum (Forward)
2. Ubermall (Forward)
3. Modesto Heights (Forward)
Ships:
1. Assegai Zone Battle
2. Triakis Zone Battle
3. Harimau Zone Battle
Here are mine for HD
Tracks:
Anulpha Pass: That "Land BR from ramp+hyperthrust goes over 1000K/mh!)
Chengou Project: Double BR ramp!
Vineta K: Icarus is king here!
Ships:
Harimau: Good for complex tracks EG: Sebenco, Metropia, Chengou ETC. (Sometimes I swap it for Assegai, they both look soooo good!)
Icarus: Speed King for the less complex tracks with slight turns!
Mirage: It looks so unique and is basically sometimes swapped for a complex race because of that "Psychic Interface" thing!
For god sake, why so many people can't say/write "Icaras" ?????
12 kittens, 2 whales, 176 dogs and an angel die in horrible pain each time someone write/say "Icarus" !!!
Tracks
Metropia Rev - amazing track for any situation. it has a nice mix of open sections and bottlenecks, blind turns, and weapon pickups. its one of the best zone battle tracks too because of all the boost pads, combined with the aforementioned bottlenecks and blind turns. i am glad to see so many other pilots agree with me on this track
Modesto Heights Frw/Rev - no way i could pick a favorite between the forwards and backwards versions of modesto. both have sections that feel so good when you nail them.
Anulpha Pass Frw/Rev - i like both versions of this track too. just a smooth track that looks great.
Ships
Fury EGx - my default ship now. looks great, handles the way i like it, and pretty rare online which makes me feel special.
HD icaras - black paint, nuff said.
Fury auricom - i actually think this isnt stiff enough, which is a shame because it looks so good.
Yeah that's right Temet!!!
It's
ICARAS
Respect the team people or get plasmafied!!!
Tracks I like are great both ways.
Talons Junction: Not a lot of love here for this track. Used to hate it but since doing SL on it I love it now.
Metropia: Probably my favourite of them all as it plays very well both ways.
Sol 2: The best looking track in the game.
Ships, well I recently decided that I hate all the Fury versions, and have reverted to play the HD version only.
Feisar HD: The Yellow version is God
Assegai HD: I think it is the best looking ship in the game, very sleek.
AG Systems HD: The first ship I used when I turned professional (played in Avalon )
Tracks:
Anulpha Pass
Don't be haters. Anulpha is the nascar track of WO, but god I love it and want to kiss it with my tongue. It's just so satisfying doing a full race of perfect laps and hitting every single speed pad. Having to do the zico trophy really makes you appreciate it's subtle nuances. **** zico btw.
Metropia Reverse
This is the best reverse track, in my assessment. It's so balanced and in an 8 player race, it is an incredibly competitive course. Lots of long tight space for violence and insane lines.
Amphiseum Reverse
I fell in love with this track on Pulse, and for like half a day I had even beaten Kandang's time on it and knew the bliss of being in a #1 ranked spot, if only for a matter of hours. I was so happy to see it show up Fury.
Teams:
AG Sys - It's what I did all of my elite golds in.
Icaras (fury) - It's heavy but when you get it's fat ass around corners in your top speed, it's a wonderful feeling.
Harimau (fury) - I've actually only recently begun to appreciate just how well balanced this ship is. It's become a favorite.
Top 3 track in no particular order:
I cant decide actualy, I was going to say Metropia R, Chengou Project F and Sol 2 F+R. I like them all except Modesto Heights R, Ubermall R and Moa Therma R, maybe I should race on em more.
Goteki 45 - Fury Love the thrust the look & the handling, weight feels just right to me.
Icaras - Fury Its fast, use it when I get beat in the Goteki. Looks good from the side, looks like a prolapsed anus from the rear.
Fiesar - HD + Fury For sentimental reasons.
Top 3 favorite tracks (no particular order)
Anulpha Pass (still trying to get to Zone 75 and finally get Zone Zeus, but I can't break out of the 60s).; This one has the virtue of being the only track I can beat the Elite AI on in Phantom class
Ubermall Reverse...I got a cool pic of my EG-X ship flying out of the cat's mouth in the first corner on this track, using it as my PS3 wallpaper with HD theme
Sol 2...A track hovering thousands of meters off the ground...what's not to like about that?
Ships

Ships:
