1. Orks, CWE, DE. 2. SM, DE, Tau Protector. 3. Corsairs, Chaos, Necrons, Imperial Navy. 4. Tyranids, Adeptus Mechanicus, Tau Merchants. And the balance is decent enough that in the hands of a skilled player, a 4th tier faction is still going to roll over an average top tier faction player.

Does anyone have a list or can provide me with information on the best ships (or the worst helps too) for each class and faction? So far I've based most of my choices on: Imperial - Close quarters brawler, + macros, torpedo's. Androids - Long distance lance, + (maybe planes, but unsure) Marines - Faster, stealthy, boarding ships, + aircraft.
