Forum Challenge: your favourite ship class

edwardianededwardianed Member Posts: 0 Arc User
edited August 2013 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
A simple challenge to any who wish to partake: tell us your favourite ship class from the Star Trek franchise and why it is; but do so without using the letter "E" in your post.

(Exceptions: you may use the letter "E" in the name of the ship class; when referring to the name of a starship; or when refering to usernames including your own.)

EDIT: IS NOW COMPETITION! WOO!

Whoever posts the best reply within twenty four hours (remember, DON'T USE THE LETTER "E"!) will win 500,000 energy credits in game :D

EDIT: Competition now closed, the winner is azniadeet with the Prometheus class. Congratulations.

And also well done to the our other contestants who put in a valiant effort, they were all amusing to read. And to our contestants who put in a less than valiant effort... perhaps you should glance at instructions a little more clearly next time :P

    Intrepid class. Looks good, all that I could wish for is on it. Smooth-looking hull, as though it's always moving at warp.

    P.S. This is tough, because I can't use the word 'the' in the description.

    Mine is the Constitution TOS and Refit why because it would be the ship I would like to command even as Tac but I ma more 23century Trek even the Uniforms.

    I think I spotted one or two (or twenty five) "E"s here and there...

    I'm a big fan of the NX class, it was the ship class that helped bring the Federation into existence, looks wise, it's very pleasing to the eye and it's one tough little ship.

      A ship I always was a fan of is an "Excelsior"-class. Compact build, with thick parts, this ship was still a strong ship during any conflict with Dominion ships. No ship has usage as long as an "Excelsior".

      For a 2nd try....

      Will also discuss my long past piloting of a small but stimulating sci boat, you may know to which i am indicating, that T2 fav of most sci captains, a sporty Nova, of which a flotilla incarnation will long stay out of my grasp....:)

      Reliant.

      From a major bias born within what you and I (all) know as a top film in this IP - Wrath of Khan. Although it may look akin to fanaticism about this film, how could anybody overlook "Khaaaaaaaan!" (by Kirk, not Spock)...? This ship, against an amazing background - with astounding music - during that glorious fight...obviously a ship that I find without rival.

      I know that many lust for a distinct ship in its own right from this IP at T5, but my pick is this ship. A 2409 form of this ship occurs amongst work by Mark. If Cryptic could obtain it, plant it within STO as a ship you or I could gain - how wondrous would that...mmmmm, I would thoroughly dig that. A mission for it...too much? Nah...Cryptic, you can do it, right? Right?

      NAH, can't top that........its just tooooooooo good!!;)

      Nah, I failed...overlook's got an e. So I withdrew it. Should have had some caffeine first. After using obtain twice, I figure I used up my editing to be fair...oh well, such is life. "how could anybody not squirm at" would have been a little...girlish, lol - but yeah, I should have paid more attention before hitting submit.

      Prometheus Class: I think that it's Multi Part Assault Status positions it as a tactical swarm of pain and discomfort for its rivals. I want my ship with four Plasma Cannons in front, along with a borg cutting apparatus in back. It is a skillful and adroit ship that can turn quickly and skirt attacks from its opposition. It is fast and can zoom through our galaxy with brisk dispatch. It may look as if it's a bit squishy, but with a satisfactory BOFF layout, it can withstand a surprising amount of assault. Though first for us tactical folks, it can also work for STO's Sci and Ops populations if said individuals skill it accordingly. Try it out occasionally, as you may wind up distinguishing this ship as a surprising diamond in STO's rough.

      Attack your rivals quickly, spraying a profusion of plasma shards in that vicinity. Hull armor will fall null against your blitz. Unchain brutality of all your plasma attacks with this ship. Antagonists will not withstand your barbaric onslaught.

      At a point on ST:Voy, that 'Doctor' guy had command of a Prometheus along with Andy ****. This holographic duo did away with U.S.S. Prometheus' Romulan burglars, and brought it back to its rightful Human originators. That was a good show, a paragon show that ST:Voy did. I can only stand Andy **** in small amounts though.

      In game my Scimitar. From TV series it has to be the Enterprise - E. In terms of best looking/coolest ship in game it is the Fed Dread for me.
      In Game Characters,
      Dagoth Commanding Officer of the R.S.S Sabre, Scimitar Class Dreadnought.
      Nelson, Commanding Officer of the Victory - E, Armitage Class Carrier.
      Jones, Commanding Officer of the Sovereign, Sovereign Class Battleship.
      Fleet Admiral of Approaching Storm, the Servers fastest growing Fleet.

      No wimpy pinkskin craft for us Andorians - a Kumari is strong and swift! Or a Charal, or a Khyzon - I'm not picky. Any Andorian ship is aspirational for tactical captains; sci and ops too obtain good wins, fighting in our ships. That's a fact, no gainsaying it. Go to a shipyard around Procyon now and find a Kumari or variant! You know you want to. Flying in high orbit, or strafing ground victims, a Kumari is top.

      With the allotted time up, I pronounce this post the winner! It's descriptive, interesting, makes good grammatical sense, stays within the rules and manages to create jokes at the expense of Andy ****. Congratulations... where would you like your 500,000 energy credits sent?

      At launch I saw the Mogai NPC, and knew that one day if the game Gods allowed, it I would have to have one. Once you learn this unwieldy bird she will always bring you home. My Fed switched from the long time Defiant to the new Risan Corvette. My KDF is in love with the Qin Raptor Mirror version. A really great all arounder.

      Galaxy X is my fav. I always thought that with a third pylon and a forward big stick, that it was a cool ship. I always fancy the part in All Good Things at that part during a fight with Klingons that it guts the bad ships.

      Considered that the letter "e" is the most used letter of all, this deserves some serious respect! Well done mate!
