Bestest Ship Evar!!

bpharmabpharma Member Posts: 2,022
edited October 2013 in Builds, Powers, and Game Mechanics
There's lots of ships in the game and we don't always get to use the ship we want to do what we want. What if we could?

What ship (skin) would you fly?

Which ship bridge officer layout would it have?

What stats too?

Please put replies as follows:
<faction>
<ship skin>
<ship layout>
<ship stats>

For me it would be:
Federation.
Wells science ship skin.
Recluse layout.
Wells stats.

So what would you choose out of the ships in game?
It is through repetition that we learn our weakness.
A master with a stone is better than a novice with a sword.
Has damage got out of control?
This is the last thing I will post.

    Federation
    Excelsior (original)
    D'kora BOFF layout (or a universal ensign), unchanged console layout
    Can use DHCs would be the only other big change I'd want. Aside from that, I think the Excelsior (especially the Fleet one) is perfect.

    My current build/layout, minus the ensign tactical (replace with ensign engineering for another EPtS1), and give it a Temporal Destroyer skin.

    I think thats the most "edgy" looking ship in the game, personally.

    Take existing Scimitar Dread

    Keep EVERYTHING as is
    3 set power- pull Thalaron pulse; replace with 'Advanced Power Management' (passive)

    Gives Scimitar 200 base power; as opposed to 160 base
    -still has Singularity linked power levels on bonus core output
    -still has singularity based cast powers

    3 set just gives you 40 more base power to play with.

    (way better than that 3 min cool-down sitting duck)

    Fleet T'Varo, just as it is no need to change a thing its perfect !

    @ bpharma, Are you a STO marketer or something similar. I have been following your threads and it seems like it :D

    Wait I have a following?!

    I just like this game and want to see it being a success rather than going the way many other MMO's go. Best way to do that is try and help, put the data out there, get opinions etc. the idea of this is just to see hat people like to be honest and what they would fly if they could mish mash stuff.

    The Galaxy Dred..From "All Good Things"

    NOT the farce we have received in this game... A lance (50% stronger single pulse) Starship stealth: battlecloak is fine to fill this void.. A 3 nacelle starship has more engine power output (likely dual warp core) so it should be able to turn.. watch the episode and you will see it was maneuverable.. DESIGNED for war.. In our current timeline.. Alas it only LOOKS like the greatness.. though there may be hope, seen some threads eluding to possible revamp.. TBH I would pay for fleet modules and fleet elite to get a real version of this fantastic looking Dred..

    1 more tac console, 1 more eng console and superior BOff layout Universal slots over tactical for more of a command ship presence.... (utility/customization)

    Ohh... Forgot on the Thalaron Pulse replaced Scimitar:

    Easy excuse for existing in game, as the Romulans are now operating what amounts to an advanced Officer/Ship exchange with their allies the individual ship captains now have the option to bring the ship into compliance with Thalaron Weapons bans. And the room that was taken-up all over the ship by the Thalaron distribution, firing and generation systems can be used for enhanced power systems derived from new cooperative efforts with the Federation/Klingons.

    (But, Keep the fire while cloaked and shields while cloaked fun!)

    Intrepid-class design, with Wells movement and shield stats, and Vesta or Wells boff layout.

    I love the look of that ship, pity it's been outmoded by the Vesta.

    Fleet Patrol Escort with Galaxy BOFF/console layout...

    lol, just kidding.


    I'd say a Star Cruiser (Sentinel with Nomad nacelles) with a Regent BOFF/Console Layout.
    Or just slap the moonbosh BOFF/Console layout on it. :D

    Or (of course) a GCS with a engineer-ized Nebula BOFF/console Layout.
    (Nebula BOFFs: Science -> Engineeing; Engineering -> Science and the same with the Consoles.)

    I'd take the following:

    Faction: Federation

    Skin: Miranda

    Boff/Console Layout: D'Deridex

    Ship Stats: Intrepid

    Can mount Dual/Heavy Cannons, has Sensor Analysis/Subsystem Targeting

    It has all the abilities other ships have. But better! (well, not really, but it'd be fun) :D

    faction: federation
    skin: nebula/fleet nebula (fleet advanced research vessel retrofit)
    ship layout: weapons layout: kdf bird of prey (4f/2a), boff layout: nebula, console layout: nebula, +1 hangarbay
    ship stats: fleet adv. res. ves. ret.

    all in all having 1 weap brought from the back to the front with a single hangarbay, i know its sounds stupid, maybe even OP a bit, but for that i'd call it nebula class dreadnought. :D

    I want a ship with good hull points aprox 30k-ish. A turn rate more than 10, ability to load cannons, CMDR TAC, LT TAC, LTCMDR ENG, LT ENG, LTCMDR SCI.

    Not sure if this would be to OP but I want a ship I can do Aux2Batt on, and an LTCMDR SCI for some good hold abilities or other nice Sci skill, like shockwave or syphon or rift or something, and the Tac abilities to use CRF or THY and a good attack pattern.

    Nearist things are the Breen cruiser but its missing the LTCMDR ENG station to run dual aux2batt abilities. Or the Ambassidor but it only has an ENS and LT TAC station. Or the Jem escourt carrier is missing a LTCMDR SCI

    There are lots of ships that come close but I guess a ship having an LTCMDR station in each class and a LT ENG is a big no, no. I guess juat having that one LTCMDR SCI skill on an Aux2batt cooldown reduction along with some respectible Tac abilities is too much.
