Whether it be Firestorm, Battlefleet Gothic, Full thrust, XWing, (soon to be) Dropfleet, or anything else, what's your favorite space wargame and what do you play?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the various systems against one another, and what does your fleet look like?
Pic related, rapid prototype (3d printed) Shaltari Battleship for Dropfleet, apologies for the shitty quality.

right now my favorite of the listed games is X-wing. it focuses on a different aspect of space combat then the rest, fits the flavor of star wars, and manages to support both competitive and casual really well.
Its big disadvantage is how often the meta is getting reshaped, with the developers taking too big a hand in hard counters. They went from Fat han lists to autothrusters to tlt spam to u-boats with each release. Every new wave of releases has a counter for the last wave and its getting a little frustrating.

Last time we played, we had just found a place for food! One of our scouts (he needs a name) found a tree that has roots very similar to the roots we used to eat in our previous home. Upon further inspetion, he found 3 Bullywugs digging around the trees and ripping away at the roots, looking for bugs and such to eat. We approached them, and after some dialogue, we convinced them that it would be in their best interest to come "work" for us and expand our living hole.
The first turn will be with you shortly.
Go on...

Precede...
You’ve made your way back to your living commune. The 3 Bullywugs have reached their first, and the moment you return, you see them being pulled in every which direction by your brothers and sisters. You, Talok, speak up in their defense, and announce that they will now be working for the Naked Skaven pack. After explaining to your pack who the Bullywug are, you decide to put them to use.
What do you have them do?

I open my mouth to speak, as get a good look at her shirt for the first time, and manage to tear my eyes away from it and back to her eyes, despite my mind screaming at me not to. That is...well it's a very well made and pricey looking shirt, and the only people who can afford that aren't from my part of Brausrburge, so she has to be on a higher rung than I am...was, all things considering actually. And if there's one thing papa told me, it's to respect your betters.

Though the Empire does make things a little harder on Samson's precious little life, as does the fact that everything his family didn't bring with them had been pilfered from the house they now share with five more people than once before, things do return to some sense of normalcy as he pretends to be back to living his civilian scholarly life, often singing and gathering information in taverns with Millicent's help. Imperial soldiers expect to be shipped back East to deal with rebels, and from there the plan will begin.
Speaking of these more organized rebels, Dyrus and the rest of his gang sail towards Darton, still heavy of heart at the utterly preventable loss of Gerard, but coping nonetheless. They're certain he wouldn't want them to dwell on that sort of thing. Winona and Belle have taken to speaking more, filling the hole in the purple-headed flier's conversational quota, though she doesn't seem terribly pleased with the girl's insistence that she'd seen her somewhere before they met... Dyrus, meanwhile, is just excited to give Director Waldrick what-for! He won't let any more of his friends fall to the forces of evil like Augustus or Gerard!
In Arsiv Oasis, specifically the Tower of Longevity, Rene, Veiz, and the rest of the gang study between Vautou-repelling missions. Veiz is taking to dark magic quite well, though still refusing to actually break it out until she considers herself sufficiently skilled enough in both bow and book. Stories of the Resistance rallying support along the coastline have reached Director Waldrick's daughters, especially since he's to be personally handling the reins of a planned siege on Darton once the rebels arrive there, but it does not concern Rene or Veiz. It's not as though their father would ever lose to such people.

The castle is bustling with it's usual morning activities, and is too busy to notice a certain man lounging in the cafeteria. He sips at his cup nonchalantly, and disappears into the background noise.
Which is completely unnoticed, except for one girl. She wears a shrine...

Fae Edition: Tell me about the fae in your games! Is there anything that makes them special, do you ignore them entirely, or are they just by the book?

The fae in my game never stop going on about free will. Even the evil ones usually dont attack the characters, they just accuse them of "following plans" and "only doing what others tell them to" then they give them quests, which afterwards they berate them for doing as "soulless lackeys so far devoid of creativity or the self they can only be called pale mimics of life".
Curious, is vitalist a good class, was working on a mute healer monk type person (not a monk, just monastic-like) and I was debating heals or psywar

So they're PCs?
One hundred and twenty six years have passed since the death of the old world, and the birth of the age of monsters. And though the new washes over the old like a great rushing river of change, embers and memories of the past still struggle to exist and remain relevant in these times. This new world one is one drenched in danger and death, But when was it ever not? It's simply life for those living in it, the way it has been, and will probably continue to be for as long as even the undying eyes can see.
From the ashes of the old, new countries grow and flourish like roses grown upon a grave, extending their reach and claiming the right of age in the freshly born world. However, non are more successful than the kingdom of Brausrburge, which shines like a veritable beacon in the dawn of monsters. No really knows why it's succeeded so wonderfully, perhaps because it welcomes men and monsters with open arms? Maybe because its ruler is one of the first monsters to stalk the world? As said before, no one truly knows why, but its actually quite a lovely place, so long as you can stand bumping elbows with flesh eating monstrosities and gibbering, twisted abominations born and given life from death.
And as lovely as it is, shining like a lantern in the shroud of midnight, every light casts a shadow. And the brighter the lighter, the darker the shadows it sends crawling along the floors and walls like so many skittering rodents. And dark indeed is the shadow cast by Brausrburge, especially in the capital of the same name.
For under its streets, in its fetid sewers and musty forgotten tombs stained with dried blood and filth, another candle lit atrocity occurs, beneath the feet of men and monsters. And perhaps, something even worse than either
....
"Oooooh" A man in an almost neon green cloak said excitedly, clapping his hands together "Yessss, it begins...can you not smell the thick sin in the air my brothers and sisters?"

The candles laid about the small circular room flickered on an impossible wind, as five other men and women turned towards the man, who's skull like face almost seemed to glow in the weak fire light.
"Ooooh it's making my bones tingle, and my teeth rattle, I can barely contain my excitement and jooooy" He shout happily, holding his hands together as if in prayer, before a figure wearing a dark, almost black, purple robe walked up behind him.
And with a sound like bark breaking...
