    And others may f*** your Favourite Design so what?
    You can Refuse as much as you want, its more than obvious that Omega is the Favourite in this Contest and will be the overall Winner, like it or not.

    Looks like I won't be getting this ship whatever the final design is because Sigma was my favorite.

    Omega, for it feels like the Jupiter finally got taken serious and put into a proper design she deserves. Plus, I can't help but feel the Sigma already exists, as the Nomad-class.

    This is a complete farce, we all knew the Omega was going to win the second this whole thing started. I'm getting so tired of these arrow point quad nacelle designs...

    Yeah, I was suspecting of it from the beginning. We already knew there would be a bias to Jupiter-esque designs. That's why they wanted to burn the nice Beta design as quickly as possible since it had only two nacelles. Their ultimate plan is to burn all the good designs first so they can settle with any ugly version that wins. Now poor Sigma (the best design in my opinion) is getting hit with Jupiter bias too.

    Bah. Nothing we can do. : (
    Say NO to team Omega.

    I'm going with #teamomega. I like the length & sleekness of the nacelles. I'm still a little sad Delta didn't get voted in. I'm a sucker for round saucers.

    My prediction of the four results was correct !
    Hmm was it down to the predictability of the community or was it down to my super clairvoyant powers? maybe it was sheer luck. Who knows but I was correct.

    Anybody want their future's reading just say and for a SMALL (based on c-store price model) fee we can work something out ! You can see my credibility posted in the forums so I have nothing to prove other than I can predict the future with ease.

    Again all very boring, but this will just be the anniversary free ship it seems.

    What on earth makes you think this is gonna end up a free anniversary ship? They say this contest will take place over the next two months and the anniversary isn't till February.


    They said the voting will be done in two months i don't think they said the ship will be out in two months.

    Every single one I've liked been the loser...

    They should release the most popular of the four losers as an alternate carrier. So Feds get a Sci & Tact carrier.

    Well, good to know that I have been consistent. I have picked the losing design in EVERY one of these contests... My big thing is of the last 4 ships, only 1 has a hull... The other 3 are all saucer machines. I am really married to the hull on my ship... How you gonna get saucer separation without a hull? I love saucer separation, it is the best addition to this game. I wish more ships had it. Although I will admit, I do not like any of these as a total ship design, but there are pieces I would love to pick and pull to make a great ship.

    Part of the contest's timeline is "launch" so assuming that two month timeline is including "launch" then it's coming out some time around November/December, not February.

    Saucer sep on a carrier in this game was never going to be a thing, one does not get two hangars PLUS a separation pet. Besides, the only "separation" power that really makes sense in this game from a combat perspective is mult-vector-assault-mode. Galaxy class type ships popping their top doesn't make much sense unless you are going to leave the saucer BEHIND to protect civilians, popping it off in the middle of a battle field where it has way limited combat capability when under its own power is foolish and was only done in that one episode of TNG as a desperate diversionary tactic.

    Plus separation pets really need a whole heap of love from the devs to make them work. They blow up way too easily and there's no hud to let you know how they are doing. They need to receive the benefits of whatever boff powers their mothership is using (at the very least heals/defensive buffs if not offensive powers too). Carriers can at least spit out new pets rather quickly when the launched ones get destroyed, but typically within seconds of popping off a separation pet, it's dead in the water and can't get back into action without reconnecting and a loooong cooldown.

    voting lasts until midnight tonight, so results of sigma-v-omega and the start of alpha-v-gamma should come tomorrow. Hopefully with the "more details" we were promised to give us a better look at alpha and gamma.

    I tend to just pop the saucer on my GCS and forget about it. The point of it is to up agility and firepower, not to mention exploit the fact that cutting the crew to 100 makes the ship MORE durable.

    Are we getting back to the discussion of how the crew mechanic is broken? Lol. I really hope the devs address that at some point... by which I mean, making it work, not the lazy "let's get rid of it" that they suggested before.

    I'm just saying saucer separation doesn't make sense from a canon perspective to be used in combat the way it is, especially when the devs apparently also have that mentality of "pop it and forget about it." At the very least having a hud for it so you can keep an eye out for it, but I would make them immune to warp core breaches since the AI is an idiot that won't avoid them and any heal/defense buff on the mother ship is automatically shared with the separated pets so that they get taken care of simply as part of the mother ship taking care of itself.

    I mean the separated pets are SUPPOSED to supplement your damage as part of the deal, they just really fall flat in that regard because they die so easily.

    @jamesmerlinkirk : And that makes it a better design for a CARRIER how, exactly?

    Personally I'd say Sigma is the one that looks fat :p All of its mass is all bunched up together!

    yea cause CARRIERS are supposed to be compact right? like a slimlined Escort? ermmmm wait....NO WRONG. Sigma (and some of the other "compact" Designs) could be great Escorts or Battle Cruisers, but NOT Carriers. Omega is one of the Few Designs in this Contest that somewhat looks like it could be a Carrier.

    This. I've never liked saucer separation in the game for this reason. Many Federation ships from the 23rd century up had saucer seperation ability but it was a dangerous maneuver only to be used as a last-resort in the cause of catastrophic emergencies. While it was more routine by the 24th century but was still an emergency maneuver except on ships like the Prometheus. Most ships, the seperated saucer was not a combat tactic.
