    And if C doesn't win then I hope it's going to be E.

    I'm not fond of any of them, not because they're bad but because they don't look "primitive" enough. All six of the proposed designs look more like something I'd expect from the Tholians or even the 31st century Starfleet than a young race making the first steps beyond their homeworld.

    I was hoping the Lukari ship would be a bit more like the Enterprise NX-01: bulky, raw, not unlike speculative NASA designs. They mentioned a rotating crew section in the last blog; that would've been awesome to see. It also definitely shouldn't be T6, but I know there's not much chance of that changing. :P

    I hope it doesn't. Looks like a cross between a Cylon raider and a Jaffa Cake.

    YAY! JAFFA CAKE!

    Anyways... Charlie honestly looks interesting to me. Certainly stands out compared to what we have now. Design 5 (whatever designation that will get) though feels TOO MUCH like a Son'a ship.

    Charlie for 50's flying saucer, Design 5 for Flight of the Navigator. I'm down with either.

    Nah, C looks like some poor Fed's lost saucer section. By far the least interesting design in the list.

    I liked the second one. Figures that would be the first to be voted out.

    A lot of the bulky industrial "low tech" style comes from the fine details. These plain "gray ipod" hullshapes inevitably look implausibly advanced here, but the finished product will hopefully have a thematically appropriate texture and details.

    And they are getting help from the Alliance, so at the very least they should have proper artificial gravity without rotating sections.

    Just like to remind everyone for tomorrows vote between the three choices we made from all three voting days, please vote for the round flying saucer option.
    Thank you

    Agreed... flying saucer please... Now if I could load it with nothing but Omnis...
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,573 Arc User
    If it flew spinning around, all weapons would be Omnis. ;)

    Bat wings for the win. Looks menacing. Flying saucers stopped being menacing about the time Kennedy was elected POTUS. ;)

    And we have that, the APU. :D I called mine Gamera, two DHC in the front, rest is omni, pure polaron. Actually competes pretty well for a 3m EC ship chassis.

    I'll probably vote for the boomerang, if only because it doesn't look like a geometric shape.

    I will honestly be disappointed if the saucer wins in the end because don't we already have enough of those thanks to the federation? I want triangular design to win because I just think triangular designs are the most elegant of all and there is only one other ship like it is the Elachi S'Golth and we could use more ships like that. I know it's personal prefs but it's also under-represented compared to saucers and curvey shapes galore existing in this game. I want designs more to the point, literally : P

    I have complete confidence a public vote will drive the most boring design possible.

    Bravo was my favorite by a wide margin, that lost though so Echo is my runner up

    Im for Alpha, how many people even see the disk shaped ones anymore?
  • officerbatman81officerbatman81 Member Posts: 2,761 Arc User
    All the time.

    Personally?
  • officerbatman81officerbatman81 Member Posts: 2,761 Arc User
    Nah.
  • thlaylierahthlaylierah Member Posts: 2,991 Arc User
    I'd like to see the saucer wine as well, maybe restore my faith in these poll things.
  • starkaosstarkaos Member Posts: 11,557 Arc User
    Hopefully even if it loses, we will see it eventually. Unlike the Jupiter Carrier vote, each of these ship designs are completely unique and would work extremely well as future Cryptic creations for new alien races. So it is possible that we will see the Flying Saucer for the Summer Event if it doesn't win.
