I've got an ESU fleet numbering around 25 ships or so... And I want to
buy a
full Phalon fleet this summer (and I play regularily with the guy that
started the "interesting" Phalon thread :)
And I've got some assorted other ships that my girlfriend wanted to
paint
but not play with, some FSE and NSL biggies

Since I'm a dedicated ESU player I can't say anything else can't I ?
But I think the NSL are really good ships, at least IMHO they are the
ships
that performs best with the worst player, i.e. their weaknesses aren't
that
big and can rather easily be countered. Also facing a big NSL fleet I
feel
the only way to beat them is to field a ESU Superdreadnought or Attack
Carrier... But I've learned that german ships die as well as the ESU
ones :)

Aestheticly I of course enjoy my green ESU fleet with red markings. But
except for that I think all the ships except the NAC ones look nice... I
especially dislike the looks of the NAC capitals. From FB2 I've actually
only seen the Kravak firsthand so I can't say too much about them,
though
the Kravak I've seen looks nice...
