In order if possible.

Shifter
Cosmo Knight
Phase Mystic

1) Lord Magus
2) Mind Melter
3) Phase Mystic

Vagabond
Flooper
City rat

Let see... I will answer what the three top Job classes.
This will mean excluding psi classes and empowered classes because they are not jobs, and classes that are not of Rifts earth because this is the rifts forum.
Of course Races and their associated RCC's are excluded, for obvious reasons, too.

Wilderness Scout
Saloon Girl
Demon Queller

lets see...

Delphi Juicer
Cyber-Knight
Battle Magus

Temporal Wizard
Temporal Warrior
Mind Melter

Robo slammer
Shifter
Temporal wizard
Close 4th with special forces

Lone Star Mutant (Dog boy or one of the variants.)
Cyberknight
Paratrooper. ( Badly 'named' OOC that represents the Navy Seals type training, in Rifts Earth)

I like multi-talented characters.
1. Scathach (England). Craftsman, herbal magician, and fighter, this class can serve well in many roles for most groups (except CS, of course).
2. Cyber-Knight. The class that's so cool it got its own sourcebook. A terrific fighter with a rich backstory. The Fallen Knight from Phase World takes a close second in this category, as it's less known and less developed, though it's generally more-versatile.
3. Techno-Wixard. Versatility and capability are the hallmarks of this cross-disciplinary class.

LLW
Glitter Boy
Juicer

Military Specialist - good for most everything, first class I ever played in RIFTS and still my go to selection...
Juicer - the best killing machine a human can be, still a top tier and playable PC
Wilderness Scout - a good choice for any size group and is very self reliant. With the right skill selection can be capable of upper mid-level heroics in any environment

-STS

Shifter
Techno-Wizard
Operator

Wilderness Scout
Juicer
Dog Boy

Super Wilderness Scout, great survival skills and super powers.
Japanese Police officer with a light bionic conversion, great skills, awesome martial arts and Bionic weapons.
Flying Tiger, In my opinion one of the best mutant animal classes in the South America book.

I note that three Races have been mentioned in the postings of answering the "Top 3 O.C.C.s" question.
*assigns some critical reading homework*

Leaving out non-humans

1. Mind Melter (ignoring distinction between OCC and PCC) - best class for being a bum and enjoying yourself.
2. Shifter with major psionics - very flexible, would avoid alien intelligences and powerful supernatural beings like the plague personally.
3. Cosmo Knight (despite the constant hard work required) or maybe a tattooed man.

Failing those, if part of a built-up high tech society with huge technical resources, a 90% conversion light machine/cyborg.

Due to DrewKitties editorial Flying Tigers are an RCC so,
Mystic Ninja for my 3rd choice. psionics, skills, and Ninja Invisibility powers.

They've gotta be Temporal Wiz, Shifter, and Phase Mystic / Cosmo-Knight

Just for reference Dog boy is an OOC. as opposed to 'feral mutant' or the fact that the mutants from Lone star can take other ooc's too.

Hence why one of my choices was Dog Boy.

I usually just edit my stuff to keep DK happy, so much easier than trying to argue with a brickwall.

Truth.

When one is right, then why change?*shrugs*
I do acknowledge that the RMB &RUE both have a style filters on them, so some things are up enough to cause arguments.

Double edged sword, psi-hounds/dog boys are both. A human can not train to be a dog-boy, but not all psi-hounds become or stay coalition dog-boys.

Well "Dog boy" is a possible OOC for CS mutant psi hounds. They can also take other OOCs like the feral ones or even Cyber knights.

It is an OOC with heavy species restriction but an OOC none the less.

Exactly. I am right. So I'm not changing.

To me a Dog Boy (they job not creature) is an RCC. Like a Gosai assassin, only the Gosai can be one but they can be other things. So I call the Dog Boy an RCC for the Race PSI-Hound.

If it smells like a RCC, quacks like an RCC, looks like a RCC then it is an RCC. Even if is is wearing an OCC name tag.

ahem Flying Tiger......lol

Gizmoteer
Mind Bleeder
Psi Slayer

Gunfighter

Tin Man

CS spec ops

Man. Raising kids for listing races in this thread? Now that's a harsh punishment.


Let's see now...

Temporal Wizard
Tattoo Man
Full Conversion 'Borg

When I am at work I have1 standard.....PERFECT. I don't hold that same expectation against DK for expecting the same.

Pour moi, at the moment -keeping in mind I've ne'er actually had an experience with Rifts as a player:

Juicer
Headhunter (Partial conversion borg)
Tech Ninja

Tin Man

CS spec ops

I am in no way second guesing or demanding an answer from you but.....what is it about the Tin man you like/love.

I will say they are the best EOD in the game for sure

Rogue Scholar
Rogue Scientist
Traveling Story Teller

In no particular order.

I want to play in your games since clearly combat isn't the focus.

No, it is. But I maintain idea that knowledge is a more powerful weapon than a Boom Gun. Why do you think the CS's most dangerous enemy is an old woman?

I like this one as well.

Writer's Fiat.

Well maybe she's an alien intelligence in disguise..

Depends. I have a bunch that I've worked on that I really like:

1) Order of the White Rose Mystic Knight/Reconciler (Official Class from Rifter 36)
2) NGR Intelligence Commando (Rifter 55)
3) Luftwaffe Pilot

Of things that I didn't write:
1) Undead Slayer
2) Psi-Slinger
3) Cyber-Knight

BURN the witch!!!

-STS

Special Forces (I'd probably pick Paratrooper if i had the book they're in)

Momano Hunter

Psi-Stalker (i know it's an RCC, but whatever, i don't like much else)

Warlock is a close 4th.

am I the only one who didnt stray from the core?

Damian Magecraft wrote:am I the only one who didnt stray from the core?

I didn't either. None of the worldbooks or sourcebooks ever had any OCC that just seemed as well designed and general purpose as the core book. I didn't much like RUE either...with the exception of the increased variability of the Headhunter...

-STS

Damian Magecraft wrote:am I the only one who didnt stray from the core?

Nope, all 3 of mine exist in the R:UE.

Damian Magecraft wrote:am I the only one who didnt stray from the core?

No, mine are all RMB classes.

Although they would have included a Mind Melter, but it's a PCC....

Heroes Unlimited Alien

Is my all time favorite "Class".
