To the people choosing fighters: Keep in mind that fighters are the most difficult roles to play in the game. AI turrets are very accurate, rapid-fire kill machines and fighter pilots have to be very good at not getting hit at all. A good fighter pilot is just as effective as a good capital ship pilot because tying up all of their turrets on a target they'll never hit is an extremely useful advantage, but one misstep can end up with your ship getting blown to smithereens in a volley of laser blasts. You're also responsible for targeting turrets rather than ships, and turrets are much smaller targets that require a bit more aiming to hit.
But by all means, if you're confident in your piloting ability we could definitely use good fighter pilots.
The easiest ship to fly would probably be the frigate, with the next easiest being the battle platform since almost all of the firepower is automated and avoidance isn't as critical to survival since they can take a hit.
