"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
Number four because its submarine/whale look fits the Risa style rather well, closely followed by number one.
Number two looks too fragile though the overall shape is not bad, and number three looks like a dog chew toy on top of the fact that the Akira-style twin boom thing has been done to death already.
It makes a lot of sense that Risa would build ships designed for water landings more than dry land.
3. The pictures and drawings don't do any of them justice, really.

Wait... so these designs weren't a late a late April fools joke? I kinda thought so because of the initial concept art looking like it was drawn by elementary/middle school kids. Isn't there dedicated ship artists like the ones that did the Vorgon carrier doing this type of initial concept work? I hope I'm not offending anyone. I'm just shocked at the initial paper concept art to 3d model art.

The actual ship artists were intentionally excluded because they wanted to do something different. Then one of the actual artists took the raw concepts and made them into actual concept art.

Really? Then i'd highly recommend firing them because these are the ugliest ships I have seen in a while. They reek of "easy money" in the "artists" minds.
Also it seems like a number of people here are the same kind of people that are impressed and in awe of a catwalk model walking up in literal garbage bags...
I understand these are still concept stage artwork. But if that's the concept, you might as well just have kept the drawings...

I am glad you are not my boss, you scare me! Firing people because you do not like the designs of the ships is wrong! What is wrong with you?! Also, there is nothing wrong with people liking one or more of these ships or in your case not liking them at all. I disagree that these are the ''ugliest'', those already exist in-game according to some people.
My goodness, all of those designs are hideous. My question is why must they all look like boats?
These are Risian native starships, so I assume. They should branch away from the boat theme.
Well I had to vote and the only two that were less hideous were choices 1 & 2, and it was tough to choose the least ugliest design from the 2.
So I chose 1 - at least it resembles something of a starship - perhaps a carrier looking design in which the flying tampax called the Jupiter should have at least looked like. Because design number 1 definitely beats the Tampax design of the Jupiter.
Please at least make design number 1 a carrier with 2 hanger bays.
Lets not forget the tv show Star Blazers - ARGO - Space Battleship that not only floated in water, traveled in space but also served as a submarine. LOL
I liked them all but went with number 1. I'm still hoping it will turn out to be a carrier with secondary deflector
Still given that #1 won, it certainly would be wonderful to see the larger SCI Ship from Risa certainly be a Carrier!
It might also be nice to learn some of the new Fashion, or Items the TEAM may have in store... ...hopefully in the near future they'll provide or share a details!
I like Christian's, it looks a lot like what I thought the Risian cruiser was going to be. Especially with the rumors going around that there would be a micro Risa biome inside where you could wear your swim stuff and all.
Talk is cheap
Would be REALLY awesome though. Checked out the interior for the Risa Cruiser few days ago and almost threw up being greeted by a random KDF BOP bridge.
Not that there is anything seriously wrong with the KDF BOP bridges (...unlike with the payed Constitution TOS bridge bugfest) but its such a massive contrast to the joyful summerflair cruiseship.
My vote goes to which ever gets the most kick-behind interior which hopefully can be added to all Risa ships.
I went with #2 myself. The biodome is a wonderful idea. I'd like to have the option of different biomes in there and be able to go in and actually enjoy the selected biome, though that's a long shot, of course.
One idea I'd definitely love to see implemented is some sort of underwater component to Risa, that makes use of these ships. Diving gear, etc.. Of course, that'd be something to consider for next year.
They did that for the Ent-F design contest, but it went badly and was a case study in the legal hurdles of contests.
I would not say it went badly. We wound up getting the Odyssey class out of it. Not saying this is the case with you specifically, however it seems to me the only people feeling it went badly were those who supported a design that did not win.
They got the Odyssey but it was an unexpectedly difficult and expensive legal hassle to do so, so much so that the person in charge of that contest said never again, ever. And they have remained true to that decision, everything since has been either internally designed or came from canon show designs they have the right to use via the license from CBS.
really??? those are what the choices are??? wow.... just wow... sigh.... those dont even look like thamgz that were orhave been... they are like freeking NABO SHIPS FROM SWG!!!! star wars .... not very trekky there, are YOU SURE JJABRIAMS IS NOT SUBMITTIN THOSE UNDER ALIEAS'S????
edit added.... WHEN IS THE SUMMER EVENT GUNNA START??? sigh
and why exacatly does the other one have to end first???
Ship 1 won. It was the most generic design out of the candidates, but the final design looks nice enough I'm wondering how big it will be, as even the corvette isn't really small, it's at least as big as a K'tinga. So this one might actually be a decently sized cruiser (gameplay wise it'll be a science ship)

A matter of perspective; we did got a lot of fine ship art designs and AFAIK even one or two other ships based on those later down the line.
Also I love my Ody
I just wish I could use the original skin; the one without the Aquarius.
