What is your personal favorite ship to fly?

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I was thinking about this earlier today, as I was grinding up for the new battle cruiser set. We have what, 6 tiers, 2 fleet versions, and one upgrade. That is a lot of ships to use.

So what is your personal favorite. no right or wrong answers, I just love discussions like this.

It's a tough one for me. My personal fav will always be the Excelsior, with the Avenger a close second (engineer) Tac is the Tempest all the way, and I am the odd man out, loving the experimental science vessel for my sci toons.

Klingons, of all schools of thought, is the Maha raptor thingie.

Rom's, I'm a T'varo man all the way.

Sure, many ships can do things a lot better, but I just love these ships. I don't own any lockbox ships, or even the Lobi versions. Only event ships I have are the original Odyssey and the new Nandi , the U.S.S. Bassakwards.

So how about you brave Admirals? what is your fav ship to go Pew Pew with?

    Assault Cruiser Refit USS Lexington. Haven't flown her in a while but I refuse to dismiss her.

    Also enjoyed my old T5 Mogai and the Fleet Mogai on my Romulan. My KDF loved the Kamarag Retrofit and Mirror Qin Raptor. She's loving the Mat'ha right now.

    My first love is the Vesta. I also like the Intrepid and the Xindi Aquatic. A kitty flying a fishbowl has to be the cutest thing in the world.

    You know the new vet ships are good, as is the Nandi and the Kobali and the Breen Carrier. For free ships you have three very strong choices. I fly the Breen and Kobali on 2 of my characters and would fly the Nandi on a 3rd but it's a bit ugly to my taste. It's 'belly' is just a bit too insecty.

    My Fed tact I liked flying the Vet destroyer. My Rom Eng I liked flying the intel warbird. My Klingon Sci traveled in the Varanus for a long time. My Gorn Eng had the most fun in the Risian Luxury Cruiser. Don't know why, just was fun.
    The Rom is the only one still in the same ship. Others have moved on to other ships.

    Right now I am enjoying my command cruiser on my main character. My personal favorite ship is probably the D'Deridex. I have not flown it in such a long time but it will always be my favorite in the Star Trek universe.

  • iconiansiconians Member Posts: 6,987 Arc User
    Oh yes, the D'Deridex too. I've put it in drydock however while I field test some of the new things and work on upgrading some of my gear for it.

    Risian Corvette.

    It's a shame new players won't be able to get the chance.
    This is my Risian Corvette. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
  • fatman592fatman592 Member Posts: 1,207 Arc User
    Fleet Dauntless. It is a great mix of beamscort and space magic, and can cross a quadrant quickly.

    I agree this is my favorite too. Nimble little things they are.

    I absolutely love my Command Cruiser, and still have a soft spot for the Intel Cruiser.
  • drakethewhitedrakethewhite Member Posts: 1,240 Arc User
    Fed: T6 TAC Command Cruiser
    Klingon: T5-U K'tinga forever
    Romulan: T5-U Fleet T'varo

    Trade them all for a T5 or better Connie (original or refit)

    Mirror VoQuv was a lot of fun.
  • reginamala78reginamala78 Member Posts: 4,593 Arc User
    D'deridex and Odyssey. Both mechanically inferior to stuff I have now, but those two ships just feel like home.
  • lingeringsoul888lingeringsoul888 Member Posts: 509 Arc User
    With the new Fleet Arbiter, I'd say that would be it....but it's equal with Phantom atm. Arbiter for the 1 billion beam shotting out or its aaarse, and the intel ability of the phantom makes killing big hp targets a breeze. Fav cruiser is the guardian, again because it has intel. I haven't tried pilot ships, so my view may change once I've got a taste of that

    Fed - fleet excelsior t5u
    RR - fleet t6 d'deridex
    KDF - fleet b'rel t5u / fleet d7 t5u

    I like the ship's I saw on tv and in the movies. Not really a fan of most cryptic designs.

    I think overall if I had t pick a favorite, it's the Tactical Escort (any Tier).
    Long Range Science Vessel (any Tier, too) is a close second, I suppose. Vesta may actual rival its place. Beyond that, it's getting difficult to make a ranking.

    On the Romulan side, it's even more difficult. The Dyson Destroyer might have been the most fun overall.
    Klingon side... BOPs are great. I also had fun with Vor'Cha and Neg'Var.

    I don't know really, battlecruisers are my favorites most of the time...got so many to choose from, it's really hard to pick one or some favorites... C-store, lobi, lockbox and event ships... Grinded for sooo many over the years...
