Why did you pick it any real reason or was it just random post it here.

Mine was the USS Sentinel. Named after My old Lug Trek Ambassador Class Ship. captained that thing for 18 years before it got blown up by the Hur'Q. total roleplay nerd here.

Other ship is the USS Tantalus. Another Nod to a Star trek rpg i play. it was a Galaxy class.

    I'm captain Darmok Jalad of the USS Tanagra.

    I think fans of TNG will get this one.

    Oh and in beta I flew the USS Pollux, from greek mythology. Pollux and Castor were twin sons of Zeus, but Castor was mortal and Pollux was immortal (although Castor later became immortal).

    USS Evolution


    Being a car nut, its one of my favourites. USS Aston Martin (being my all time fav) doesn't have the same ring to it.
