Fun Ships?

So while there are plenty of discussions about which ships are most powerful, which are best optimized for what missions, etc etc, what are the most fun ships to fly? Not because of how powerful they are or because they unlock some console that kicks butt in other builds, but instead ships that, even with their flaws, just put a big grin on your face. What are your fun favs?
For me, Brel-R and the T'varo. Zipping around invisibly in this tiny little thing, then suddenly shouting SURPRISE! as you pop GW + Spread3 or leave a dispersal pattern or whatever. Then the B'rel you get the major speed and flexible boff stations, and now flanking bonus too, plus classic looks. Alternately the T'varo lasts a little longer, but more importantly comes with the Destabilized Plasma Torpedo console that, if you can land a nice hit on a nice cluster, just makes such a huge mess. I'm not elite in either one (my best plasma torp hit is only 220k) and probably more effective in just about anything else, but they are simply fun to fly.
What do other people like?

Plus, outfitting my Defiant to be as close to canon as possible (ie, quad cannons and several torpedo launchers in the fore, with a phaser bank and more torp launchers aft) is also all kinds of fun.
And personally, I have a ball in my D'deridex and Vesta and Wells (with most of the Temporal Warfare set).
And every now and then I bust out my Galaxy and my Chimera.
But honestly, my dream "for fun" ship to fly that I do not yet own is a Ferengi D'Kora Marauder. I've opened so many Ferengi lockboxes and yet to acquire one. Siiiigh.
Fed DSD is surprisingly fun, too.
Scimitar is fun if you like soloing tac cubes in PUG ESTFs and wowing everyone.
Torp boating a t'varo is fun, but can feel...futile after a while.
Anywho, Atrox with twin bays of Yellowstones. I got tractorbeams for daaays.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
There used to be a picture here, but they changed signatures and I can't be bothered to replace it.
Blowing up my own team with the red ball of doom in my T'Varo. Their fault for cuddling with that Tactical Cube.
Serious fun on a bun.
A similar ship is the Risian corvette, again all about the fun.
I have a soft spot for the Karfi.
Think all the yucks of a carrier, with better weapons and turn.
My chell grett cannon build with borg set
My jem dread beamboat with jem set
Or my fleet avenger cannonboat.
So much fun in those ships.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
First time I beat nws...Plesh Brek.
First time I got serious with pvp...Plesh brek
First time I broke 30k dps with cannons...Plesh brek
Absolute top speed I think it was 639...Plesh brek
I love my little gimmick ship, and the stupid thing was free...(the gear sure as **** wasn't though)
My PvE/PvP hybrid skill tree
For the Mobius, love zipping around and popping gravity wells then using CSV.
For the Fleet Dreadnought, I would have to say I love watching it soak up damage like a sponge, even if it maneuvers like an obese planet.
The fact that I like the looks of both ships doesn't hurt either.
For my KDF toon it is the Mogh.... one again, jut love it, smallish and looks rough, albeit a bit tougher than it is, but tough anyway
My Fed is a bit divided, with her I equally like my Avenger and my Galaxy-X (or rather Venture-X, a I like the Venture look for it more so than the Galaxy). For overall Aesthetics I would have to go with the Avenger though.... it's small, it's tough it's somewhat agile for its bulk, but it has a more appealing looking meanness-vibe to it than what the Dreadnought give off, at least to me.
IKS Korrasami (Fleet B'rel Bird of Prey Retrofit T5-U)
Not a DPS King, not an Aux2Demarion, not a regular beam boat. A rather unique mix of torpedoes and beams. She can deal her fair amount of damage. But more important, I am yet to find the NPC to bring her down. As in, no single NPC can take me down. In groups, that is also hard for them. And that is with thread generation maxed out to the limits.
I'm just enjoying flying around, healing myself and everyone in the area, taking all the damage, stuff like that.
Join the Deltas today!
No matter what toon I create and get to endgame I tend to spend a great deal of time between them and Mirror ships. I reckon to date I've spent more time in a Sovereign, a Hegh'ta or a Vor'cha than in any other ship.
Even when I have fleet ships I jump back into my T4 freebie for a quick blast around.
My Breen warship. Its amazing. I have a lot of fun with it and a transphasic torp build. And it is a ship that i was really surprised about the performance.
Then, i have my Haakona advanced warbird. I love it because i can be a fast assaul warbird or a guardian warbird when i want. Lets say i have 2 ships in one, and i love the build i have on it (polaron beams with the jem hadar set + plasma torps ). Its really beautiful. lol.
Then i have my Mogh. Well, it is a little devil. It has the perfect balance to use dhcs , beams or watever you like. The defense satellite ability is great (actually one of the most useful abilities presents in a c-store ship) and its really amazing to see how you can kill ships in seconds even without using high ammounts of weapon power.
Then, my Bortasqu. I love it. I play for fun, so i have the 3 consoles equiped. I love the abilities it have, and even if the bird of prey is a bit useless sometimes, others isnt. And its really fun to see it. The teleporter ability is great lol, and really useful and the autocannon its awesome to get rid of all our target's shield or to finish any ship. Besides, i use to use first the teleporter skill and then the autocannon (going back at the same time to avoid the distance auto shut down) and it works really great lol.
In the end i dont want the most powerful ship or the most boring one.. i just want a ship that makes me have fun in any way.
I have more ships but those are the main ones i use, cuz they are the ones i have more fun.
The next one i am sving is the Guramba siege destroyer, for fun 200% and since it will be a fleet version (finally) i suposse i will need to buy the c-store version first.
I used to play as well with the kumari and 5 dhcs fron build lol, and it was really fun, but i was saving to make an antiproton build for it to use in stfs, but it was screwed up with the damn loadout system bug and i never touched it again. Sigh.
They're no Aux2Bat ships, they're not DPS kings, but they're my favorites just because.
I also have a place for my Grinderversary DSD. Grav Well III into Torp Spread III? Simply WONDERFUL
Low inertia and ludicrous speeds mix well.
I had a lot of fun with my bomber T'Varo, and was quite surprised by the DPS, I was excepting something really low like 5-8K DPS, and I did 12K+. But then I keep dying with this ship, so it's less fun because of that.
Finally, I love some of my KDF carriers, like the Vo'quv (no a2b build), even if my DPS is low (8-10K). Then I have 2 a2b build (shame on me), a jem'hadar carrier, and a Corsair Flight Deck Cruiser Retrofit.
I don't like the kar'fi (ugly, ugly, ugly !), and the obelisk is just a tank, and I like to do some damage.
My Sci, in her Tholian Recluse, with T5 Mesh Weavers. Stuff dies, end of story.
Get a ship with an extremely low turn rate and extremely high inertia. (IE a Vo'Quv.)
Step two:
Outfit it entirely with weapons with tight firing arcs. (IE transphasic torpedoes.)
Step three:
Figure out how to fly such an absurd build without being fail.
Step four:
???????
Seriously though, it's just glorious, spinning around, making turns...it's some of the most fun you'll ever have in this game.
And the Ambassador: that kitbashed sumbich. Bit o' the old, bit o' the new, I like it.
Phasers because I am Federation! Both are my beamboat bliss!
Thinking of getting the NX just for fun.
I don't think the ambassador is a kitbash, but in either case she is quite elegant and fun to fly. In my opinion she has the best skins in the game. She really shows off the dominion and reman shields.
I've also had fun using a mirror recon sci vessel because it just looks so different to any other federation ships and you rarely see it or the prime universe deep space version.
