    The Fed Dyson ship, that thing never should have made it past the concept artist's sketch book ...
    I'm in full agreement here. I don't really like any of the Dyson ships, but the FED ones are particularly ugly.

    Other than that, I dislike the general KT ships simply because they got everything inflated. I don't know why everything must be bigger, so much in fact we just use comically inflation effects to achieve it. I dislike the overabundance of huge supercruisers, STO does the same with every new cruiser coming out is bigger than the last one. It doesn't make sense.

    And every design that tries to be "edgy", like the KT Vengeance and other ships trying to be that. I don't want starships that look like B2 bombers, the stupid edge design makes no sense. I want round things. Round things are good.​​
    Whilst I'm not overly fond of the KT ships myself, it's the designs that I dislike, especially when there were better proposed models to use (MadKoiFish & his Constitution for one). The only exception to KT ships is the Klingon Warbird, that thing looks like a beast.

    I can completely relate to the sizing of the ships though, cause considering the crew compliment, and the facilities on board, the ships of TOS should have been bigger. They've probably got the scaling more correct with the reboot films. Obviously the ships of TNG & DS9 were appropriately sized for the most part, but TOS, I feel, was a tad too small.

    Vesta.
    Because it tries to be everything but a Science ship. That stupid, stupid coloring.
    I want my starship to look like a starship. Not an escapee from the Fast and the Furious XC.

    KDF t6 command ships and Bortasqu's, Klingons don't do 'more is better' unless it's weapons and only after they've gone as big as they can.

    Multiple Quad nacelle designs should be Fed only, and on gimped, under-power old scrapheaps because they didn't have either the technology or materials to do a single / two nacelle version.

    Triple nacelles should be left to the Galaxy X line because the galaxy is the only ship that can actually pull that look off.

    The designers of the Prometheus Class have a bone to pick with you! :tongue:

    BOPs - they are very situational. Kinda fun kinda frustrating. And that's why they qualify here. If they were just bad, I'd never Play them. But as they are, I always try again...

    Ideal way of fighting: decloak, hit and run, decloak and repeat...now do that in any PvE and you are not pulling your weight.
    So fight it out - with worst hull, less weapons than other ships and you cannot alwayss flank enemies (how do you know which side of the Cube is the rear anyway?).
    18 characters
    KDF: 2 tacs, 2 engs, 3 scis
    KDF Roms: 3 tacs, 1 eng, 1 scis
    FED: 2 tacs, 1 eng, 2 scis
    TOS: 1 tac
    all on T5 rep (up to temporal)
    all have mastered Intel tree (and some more specs Points)
    highest DPS: 60.982

    Most ugly? Daedalus class and Nautilus class. They look like throw backs to 2001 a space odyssey. and are Fugly as hell.

    I have never been a fan of the Celestial and Envoy classes.

    All of the kitbashed Wolf 359 ships. Anything with just a single nacelle, aside from the U.S.S. Kelvin/Einstein-class, which is saved by the upper hull balancing it out)

    The Konnie is probably the only distinct class I dislike, although it's not an outright hatred. I just wish it looked more like a starship and less like a hot rod.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    I think the designers of the Eclipse would argue you on that

      The Scimitard.
      UGH I really hate that ship. It felt really good blowing one up awhile back in PVP while I was in my Nova (*high-five* @reyan01 )
      he challenged me twice in one day. I guess he forgot the beating he took B)

      I'm not too fond of the Steamrunner either. It looks sorta corny to me

      The Starfleet Escort, because they do not have Ship abilities... L1 Menu is empty on PS4...
      Every starship classes have special abilities, but not the starfleet escort... :(

      Every KT ship. I nearly vomit every time I see one of those badly proportioned clown ships.
    • scarlingscarling Member Posts: 708 Arc User
      Manticore. Just the ugliest thing I could think of. Shame that's what you get for buying a lts.
    • ikonn#1068 ikonn Member Posts: 1,450 Arc User
      Chimera/Manticore because if its looks, followed by the Fed Dyson Science ships.

      KDF side... Bortasqu and its descendants. Butt ugly.

      Romulan side... That flying wing called a carrier... T'laru I think is what it's called. Looks more like one of Moon Knight's throwing crescents than a starship.

      Escorts.

      Just because I had bad experiences with them a few years ago (seriously, did anybody else struggle to play them effectively), and was playing as an engie at the time.

      Any ships that has U.S.S. in front of the name. The Federation ships all look the same to me. Every time I look at one, I look to my left at my folding camp stool and say, "I already one it in real life."

      The awful deep space science vessels.....

      Hey, I LOVE my little Nimbus class. Then again, it's the only DSSV that I like (and why I bought it way back when the skin released in the olden times). Otherwise, yeah... I think they're pretty awful. But my Nimbus? I think she's pretty in a bulky sort of way, like an old Jeep/SUV.

      The jjdreck ships (and everything else jjdreck related). Whoever thought it was a good idea to have those abominations infest sto should be fired post-haste.

      Update for mine:

      Vengeance: Big, blocky, crazy armed.....it's like a "Admiral Marcus has a small TRIBBLE" ship. Like some of those over the top macho guys I see driving these humongous pickups or suv's that are more like a tank on wheels.

      I'll start with my favorites actually. The Möbius is still one of the most attractive nonconventional designs in the game for me. And it's even better with the skins from the other temporal ships. Slap some red antiproton cannons on it and the Aeon skin and it feels like a space borne Blackbird. Really nice. Nova and Intrepid too. Small but powerful and sleek.

      Now, in the category of ugly as sin, the Olympic, the Oberth, the Cheyenne, the Patrol Escort designs, the DSSV...the list is pretty long. :/

      Excelsior, followed closely by the Galaxy and Intrepid.
