This shows great military genius....only great Generals of history would think of this......everyone will be focus on that thing to not the huge fleet that warped in behind it.

I'm less concerned about the gaudy colors than I am about how ridiculously friggin' FAST the sucker is. You haven't seen how fast it goes until you've seen PvPers using the thing in conjunction with EPtE2 or 3 and literally fly circles around you (with you in a damn BoP, at that) and go faster than standard full impulse with just regular engine power alone.
Sure, I know it's supposed to be fast, but this is ridiculous. Scale it back to .22 or .23, more along the lines of JHAS fast rather than 'ludicrous speed' fast.
Who the heck thought this ship was a good idea? They need to be hit with something :P
I fully intend on giving this thing a Tachyokinetic Converter, 3 Mk XII Fleet RCS consoles (when available), using the helmsman trait, Full Engine power, an ECap and something-->engines warp core, EP2E, and AP:O3. I did the math one time, it came out to something like 45 turn rate while AP:O3 is active, and like 35 while its not.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA.
(To put that in perspective, the Fleet Defiant's turn rate is 17)
Found when modifying the appearance of my brand new Corvette today that it has a ridiculous amount of appearance options.
Um, no offense, yet didn't people Just complain , not too long ago, about how there's not enough modifying for ships?!?
This is probably the reason for the extra appearance options for the Corvette, to see how people like it, and to give people what they have been crying for.
For some people though, it's never enough .
I see the Corvette as a sign of good change. Obviously they are trying to work on making ships more customize-able , as I think was mentioned in a blog somewhere....
So all I'm saying is, Give STO and Cryptic some credit for at least trying to give more options than normal.

God Bless ya and God Bless STO and Cryptic.
The OP wasn't a slap at Cryptic, it was just a challenge to see who can make the most ugly 'Vette.
Personally, I love the topic and want to see how ugly the player-base can make it.
The options leave it REALLY customizable to make it look pretty much any way any player wants it to look, whether it be slick, or whether it be disgusting. There's no denying that.
This thread is to make it the UGLIEST a player can make it look.
I look forward to more entries. I also look forward to a "best of" Corvette thread.

I really wouldn't favor this for standard Starfleet/KDF/Romulan ships and hope it isn't a sign of change there because the amount of customization on those is just right, for my money. Some deviation but still look relatively within the bounds of a new Starfleet/KDF/Romulan ship you might see onscreen.
But for original, non-faction ships? Heck yeah. Go wild.

Um, no offense, but he wasn't (and nobody in this thread has) said that the customization options are too much.
This is just a bit of fun, get off your high horse and join in you miserable so-and-so.
Loved Xmas Vette (possibly nastier than mine ) and PrettyPrincessVette. Awesome work guys. Certainly the responses so far have justified me starting this silliness off, and Im glad that almost everyone has taken it in the spirit it was intended.

Re: amahood's comments, I suspect the Corvette is something of a one-off. It wouldnt make sense for the KDF to be flying around in day-glo pink with luminous lime green trim. That said, you never know. The fact the 'vette is unaligned and comes from a party world is why they have allowed so many options in its looks.
Regardless, this thread was supposed to be a bit of fun (as several people commented after your post, for which I thank them), and judging by the volume and flavour of the responses so far I think it has succeeded.
Finally, yes I agree with you. Hats off and thx to Cryptic. The ship is fun to fly and we are managing to make it fun in ways I suspect they hadnt intended. Looking forward to seeing more.

I wish I could give my Orion Marauder an eye-blistering paint job!
On a side note: I used to play Champions Online for years. The level of customization available for costumes led to almost daily costume contests where prizes were awarded for various categories. It would be neat if STO ships could grow close enough to that level of customization.

I'm going to have to see if I can make mine Plaid.

Put on the Breen set, my eyes bleed just looking at normal game ships with that set on em. I can only imagine a Breen equipped vette in hot pink/green.
:eek:

That would be awesome! An intergalatic tour bus for the Bay City Rollers:D
I wanted a Partridge Family bus design for mine, But I'd have to rename all my Boffs:)
Only three entries so far - I think most people who were just running Flying High to get the ship will be starting to finish in the next few days, so we might be able to get some competition going.
If theres enough contributions Ill start a seperate "Best of the Worst" corvette thread with links to them all, and with sufficient interest Ill happily put up a prize (a key or two maybe) for the best (worst) of those. Anyway, in the interest of fairness Ill leave that till the end of the event to allow everyone to join in if they so desire.

It was a Space Balls reference.
The one guy was talking about "Ludicrous Speed" and the only thing faster is Plaid.
Although I would be making the ship colored Plaid..... not trying to go at Plaid speed. We all know what happened to Paris when he tried it.....

Don't get me started on the need for console slots for Mr. Coffee and Mr. Radar...;)
Apologies to OP for for going off-topic. Will have screens up on Sunday when I finish Flying High

How dare you
I have actually been considering some semi off-topic themes that kind of go alongside the thread. For example the ship is ideal for supporting your favourite football team. Green with white stripes corvette - Celtic supporter are you? Black and red 'vette - like a nice prawn sandwich Mr. Manchester United supporter? However this is a bit euro-centric and somewhat off topic, so I wont continue down this road.
Im amused that this thread is a day and a half old and has this many views and responses. There may be hope for the STO forum community after all. Regardless, thx to everyone for making me laugh. More pls.
