IF you had to remove ONE ship from your ship slots?

With the addition of new T6 ships this month, I've seen a few comments from players wanting more ship slots added to the game. For some, there's a limit of ship slots available for purchase; some have maxxed out their ship slots; and for others, they have their own reasons or complaints.
So, here's an odd question...
If you had to remove ONE ship that you have slotted, which one would it be?
For me:
* any of my Mirror ships (FED, KDF or ROM) since they cannot be upgraded to T5-U.
* FED: Deep Space Science Vessel (since I don't have the fleet version, and this version isn't T5-U upgradeable either)
* FED: Chimera Heavy Destroyer (just not impressed with this ship)
* KDF: Bortasqu'
* ROM: Dhelan Warbird
How about you?

If that's not enough any mirror ship since they are easy to reobtain.
After that any ship that can't be upgraded starting with the one with the least sentimental value....
Actually I still have my very first Miranda arround....nostalgia. But that's only on one character. After all that thing was created about 2 minutes after this game went live.
A T1 STF. That's why I tend to discharge my T2/3/4 ships while leveling, but that first one stays.

For that I have an nx and Connie and that bop.... They can be reclaimed at will for t1 stfs or

Most underpowered and worthless ship in the game.
But, since I don't fly one, it's not a problem I have.

T4 was still the best in terms of balance.
I like that attitude ^^
a) Make all ships reclaimable (not just C-store purchases), or
b) Add the ability to rebox ships we've unpacked
Cryptic is eventually going to see a loss in revenue with regards to ship and lock box key sales. Dozens of new ships are added to the game every year. Eventually, you max out the number you can own. At that point, you either have to give up ships forever or stop buying them. Since the big prize in lock boxes is a ship, there's less need for keys. There's also less desire to participate in events since they also offer a ship as the big reward.
Before anyone says "just get rid of some ships", bear in mind that lock box, lobi, event and fleet ships are not reclaimable. Many of us don't want to permanently lose a ship we've invested money in or worked to earn.
So, let ys discharge ships to keep personal fleets manageable. Then, let us reclaim them, as needed, when we want to play them. They can do it for C-store ships so they should be able to do it for all of them!
I'll stick to a Miranda full of Mark 14 epic beams
Fed - I might let the Mirror Heavy Cruiser go. Since I'm out of space. I would love to kept my Connie Refit. But I had to let it go a while back.
KDF - I might let the Obelisk Carrier go. Since I don't use it on this character. And I have the Breen carrier instead.
Romulan - I still have a couple lower Ts to let go.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
I dismiss most of the other free ships while leveling up, except some BoPs and the intrepid because nostalgia from the show and Pathfinder. Sovereign might be next in line, as the Regent looks so much better and I still see others flying it now and then, though the ship looks real fine in Nemesis, and its interior is my favorite from all of what feds got to offer to a uhh mirror insurgent.
I actually didn't unpack my kobali cruiser because I am low on slots and all of my current ships are either in use or required FSMs.
My main is currently in command of USS George Romero. My Tac, whose ships are all named for military leaders from Earth history, commands USS Vlad Tepes. My KDF-Rom is still a Subcommander, but when she hits Subadmiral she'll be unpacking the RRW Virinat's Revenge (she's still a little touchy about that whole Elachi invasion thing).
Half the fun of getting a specialized ship is figuring out the proper name! (Like the Ferengi on my emergency backup accoung; he unlocked a Risian cruiser, the RXS Latinum Princess, during the last summer event, but now owns the USS Lestat.)
Now, on my main I have had to open up a slot a couple of times, but the ships I dismissed are both low-level and reclaimable in a pinch...
However, in their present state of being hangar queens they simply remind me not of how much fun I had years ago when I was first playing the game (and now able to take them out for a spin in the end game and still be competitive and viable), but they remind me of the highly questionable ethical monetization practices Cryptic has made their current policy.
aww he wants just the sucky free ships.....
sorry i like the t5's and my t6 faeht is a work of art.
Ouch, I feel for ya man. Seriously, much sympathy to you.
Though some toons are pretty decked out with those non reclaimable event ships. Simply can't bring myself to scrap them.
Ugh. Ouch. Sorry to hear that.
It does bring me back to my initial thought when I read the OP: Part of my decision making process would have to include remembering that each of my ships in storage is holding a bunch of gear in storage.
But don't forget to remove special consoles. Unless they are ship-bound, like the Nebula's tachyon detection grid console. (The "other" Tachyon console works ,but not the one that extends to other ships.)
Remember, kids, to learn of the mistakes other people make, because you never have enough time to make the mistakes all by yourself.
Not really. Some T6 are nice and not overpowered, like the Intrepid. It has nothing OP compared to some T5U vessels, the new command ships are really nice as well and very balanced.
Cmdr Intel needs a hell of a nerf.
As much as I sympathise you do have responsibility here too. To say the devs could fix it when you could just remove the items is a case of passing the blame. Don't get me wrong I have done it myself so I am not saying I have never been there in this and other games, I just realise it was my own carelessness and get on with it. I don't expect the devs of those games to account for this when the tools are there for me to use.
I wouldn't say "overpowerd" but "unbalanced" along with the rest of the game. People still achive 100k+ dps without the high intel stuff. The whole frigging game would need some great rebalance to work properly again.
But cryptic always seeks to do it the easy(lazy) way. Inflate npc hp to infinity and give people expensive new toys to shorten the time to blow the npcs up. Intel was just the latest addition to that scheme. Command is focused on team play and we already read negative feedback about it here and there because they don't get crazy dps with their new toys.
I'm pretty sure the next spec will be some high dps stuff again that will even overshadow the intel spec and probaly will drive lead dps to 200k+ or TRIBBLE like that.
There is a safety check already for dismissing the whole ship - you have to type out the ships (or bridge officers) full name. That is already there to stop you from doing something unintentionally and without second thoughts.
Ouch. Yeah, I fear those items will be permanently gone.
Simple Ship Discharge leaps to mind, auto-unloading everyhing upon discharge.
