Favorite Vessel Class Poll! Including Cryptic Content!

[RookActual]

I've closed the poll, as it was becoming obvious someone was voting multiple times to corrupt the results. At the point I noticed the trend, though, the Galaxy and the Intrepid classes were tied for a marginal lead over the Sovereign, followed slightly behind by the Akira.

[47Wasps]

I voted for the Excelsior-class,although it was difficult choosing her above the Akira-class and the New Orleans-class.

[cavilier210]

oo, 3 way tie :D

[RookActual]

Yes, Melmacians do indeed prefer the Akira design for it's special feline purloining qualities. Or 'purrrrloining' for what it's worth.

[RookActual]

Wow, I wasn't suspecting a 2009 Constitution vote to come that quickly!

[walker555]

aww man why did you add the series ships?

[cavilier210]

the new connie was my vote, i didn't see it on ur other poll so i voted for it this time, lol

[RookActual]

series ships?

the new connie was my vote, i didn't see it on ur other poll so i voted for it this time, lol

I figured I'd better add it in this go around, since the new poll generator allowed me more than 20 optional answers.

I mean any ship that was the star of a series/movie

I figure you'll get your answer still....right now the poll isn't doing very well. The thread has been viewed 30 times and only 5 people have voted.

[Napalm006]

Nebula, form follows function, or somesuch...

not really, 1 person already voted for a series ship instead of the NX

[RookActual]

Nebula, form follows function, or somesuch...

LOL, what he means is 'It's ugly, but it works!'

[Napalm006]

LOL, what he means is 'It's ugly, but it works!'

UGLY! WHAT DO YOU MEAN! Its a saucer with two warp nacelles and an attachment or whatever you wish. What more do you need?

I could think of far more "ugly" Federation ship designs...

[RookActual]

You know I make it a point to never agree with you on too many things!

[Aerelleus]

Go Go Gadget Excelsior nice "ahem" pole rook. hope it works out well

ah, it was more really to get my 200th post...

[RookActual]

ah, it was more really to get my 200th post...

Ah, well...I'll give you this. I believe the Nebula is better looking than the original Constitution, the Constellation for sure, the Oberth and a few others. I liked the Steamrunner's function in A2 a lot, but I do think it's ugly as sin, as well.

[WikiUltimate]

my favoret fed ship? the intrepid class starship

[RookActual]

[Dogbertious]

WHAT!!! I am the first to vote for the amazing Miranda?!

What is going on here?

Though I am pleased to see the Excelsior winning....

[Napalm006]

Its late and Im not always thinking straight, but since you brought it up.
I'll mention it NEXT TIME GADGET! NEXT TIIIIMMMEE!!!!!!!!!!

[RookActual]

I was amazed to see the Nova get a vote before Miranda...odd. Too few votes, by far, to tell anything, though.

That's more like it!

[Traveller]

Voted for the Nebula awsome ship,litte sister to the Galaxy class.

i did vote

[KL0k]

i voted, too. sovereign all the way. i love this slick design.

[RookActual]

i voted, too. sovereign all the way. i love this slick design.

I love the appearance of the Sovereign, inside and out, as well. It's really only not my favorite because it is the most powerful, I'm a sucker for the underdog. That's why Akira is my first pick, Cryptic content notwithstanding I'd definitely take the ugly little Steamrunner as my second, but tied with the Nova, which really looks a lot like a baby Sovereign. It being a small ship, and looking like a Sovereign gives it a lot of points.

[RookActual]

i did vote

Thanks, then!

[PredatorSTO]

Intrepid of course!

[J.L.Picard]

WOOT ma baby is winning GO SOVEREIGN!!! just its name is beautiful then when you see her SUPREME streamline design you know shes been built with speed in mind. The first Battleship class vessel to come out of the Alpha/Beta Quadrant and she is a beauty, the next generation of Federation designs with war in mind and they wtf own..

[J.L.Picard]

lol sorry i really like that ship haha

[Urantia]

Not very much of a stretch, but I voted for Galaxy. Always liked that ship the best.

[_Pax_]

Click below to voice your opinion on which Federation vessel you like the most? Yes, I know, the Klingons are going to get upset because yet again it's something Fedcentric.

Meh. Without following the link, I know none of my favorites will be there. :)

My answer is, and always shall be, ANYTHING THOLIAN (http://johneaves.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/35.jpg) ... :)

Especially a Tholian PFT with a full load of Arachnid-class weblayer PFs.

[relisys]

well ever since the show for voyager, i have always gone for Intrepid class, you just got to love it shape! you know the sleek design :)

[Urantia]

Be nice if eventually we can play them as a faction...I assume they are still not members of any other major power in the region? I admit I am ignorant about them for the most part...but still always liked them and their odd technology.

[jagerbolt]

Not an easy decision but I voted for the Excelsior. Just always loved that design.

[Jsnuk]

Streamlined means nothing in space, go for the Excelsior, built like a brick s**t house!

[perfect_nosferatu]

Ambassador Class blatantly, just looks like a cross between an Excelsior and a Galaxy, my second and third choices!

[Stu1701]

I could think of far more "ugly" Federation ship designs...

*cough*Yeager class!*coughcough*

I voted for the Galaxy class, always been my favorite, always will.

I was a little surprised to see the Excelsior with so many votes. Don't get me wrong, its one of my favorites, but I always thought it was a bit of an underrated ship by a lot of fans. Guess I was wrong.

[Jack596]

I voted Prometheus, a rare experimental ship with great abilities for it's limited size.

[_Pax_]

Eh. The Tholians I love are from Star Fleet Battles, not any of the series or films aside from their appearance in TOS. I will admit to being VERY pleased to see the ENT episodes with them in it - the VISUALS, at least - especially of the starships - were spot-on and gorgeous.

WHAT NO Klingon SHIPS!!! LOL, shout first read later.

Nice job! Any chance of you creating a "which Klingon vessel you like the most?" poll?

[Stu1701]

Keep in mind that only three Klingon ships have been confirmed for the game so far. It'd be a pretty small poll.

[Arsinoe]

Sovereign class, it can do everything you can want. :D

[wootage]

Well, that's because many people have no idea what class is what. Like me lol.

Can you put some info up? Like "light cruiser, science vessel" or something?

[Loekii]

Well can "OTHER" qualify as "Federation Debris Field?" :D

[BreachAndClear]

Keep in mind that only three Klingon ships have been confirmed for the game so far. It'd be a pretty small poll.

While only the BoP, Vorcha, and Raptor are KNOWN; I think it's safe to say that the K't'inga and Negh'Var are pretty much guaranteed, and maybe even the D7, but I'd think not since it pretty much is just a less advanced K't'inga. There's also the D5 from Enterprise.

Also, there were some unnamed Klingon classes from Enterprise, the designs of which STO could use and possibly give names to (Particularly the first one, the other two players might be able to recreate by customizing a BoP).

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Goroth%27s_starship
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Malik%27s_Bird-of-Prey
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Laneth%27s_starship

It really depends. There was also an interview (I don't recall which one) which suggested that perhaps we'll see Gorn, Nausicaan, and Orion player ships too. So if the Federation has 12 ship configurations, we might simply see 3 Klingon, 3 Orion, 3 Nausicaan, and 3 Gorn configurations too, giving the Klingon Empire 12 configurations too. The Vorcha, Raptor, and BoP might be it for the Klingons.

[dmckey]

I voted for the Constitution, NCC-1701-A all the way :D

[RookActual]

Not very much of a stretch, but I voted for Galaxy. Always liked that ship the best.

Nothing wrong with that. For all intents and purposes the Galaxy-class design was the precedent for the '90s' era Trek style influence on most of the ships on that list. I'm amazed out of 90 votes the Ambassador hasn't received a single one.

[FedCaptain_Jared]

Akira all the way

[lajkalove]

constitution 2009 all the way its just awesome too look at

[RookActual]

constitution 2009 all the way its just awesome too look at

It's getting more votes than i thought it would, for sure.

[lajkalove]

well if you ask me it has the clasic look of the old one and an upgradet modern look as if the ship was made in modern time hehe i hope i make sense to you :)

[Manx]

I voted Nebula class; its been one of my favourites for quite a while now.

Although, in STO, I will be changing the shape of the saucer. There is something very odd about Galaxy era design aesthetics.

[The_Padre]

Voted Nebula-class, obviously.

[RookActual]

The Galaxy and the Intrepid are tied for first, the Sovereign, Excelsior and Akira for second and the Constitution 2009 is in third. It's all still fairly dead even. Here are the stats as of the 100th Vote:

Akira 8% (9)
Ambassador 0% (0)
Constellation 0% (1)
Constitution 4% (5)
Constitution(2009) 7% (8)
Defiant 6% (7)
Excalibur 3% (4)
Excelsior 8% (9)
Galaxy 10% (11)
Intrepid 10% (11)
Miranda/Soyuz 1% (2)
Nebula 5% (6)
New Orleans 0% (1)
Norway 0% (0)
Nova 0% (1)
NX 2% (3)
NX-91001 4% (5)
Oberth 0% (0)
Oslo 2% (3)
Prometheus 2% (3)
Saber 0% (1)
Sovereign 8% (9)
Steamrunner 0% (1)
Other 0% (0)

[_Pax_]

Your math is off, Rook.

If you have 100 votes, then the percents should exactly match the number of votes. Like, say, that Steamrunner? With 1 vote, it actually has 1% of the vote.

I hope that if the ship is in the game (which it should! Its a Federation work horse with over 80 built and more ordered) that it comes with the updated nav-deflector ie like the Galaxy class and not the orginal Nebula.

Those links don't seem to work.

It's not my math, it's the polling program. It also may have accidentally exceeded 100 when I copied it and I didn't notice. I'd have to add it up and check, I didn't really scrutinize it before posting it.

[RookActual]

He does that to me a lot, too.

BTW, I hope you'll all consider this when you vote:

To Boldly Go Where No Postman Has Gone Before (http://www.nietland.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/startrek3.jpg)

Apparently the USPS better change it's old addage of "Nor rain, nor sleet, nor snow" to include hostile nebulas and Klingon ambushes.

[Napalm006]

They work now?

[Kriss]

Uhhh....where are the KLINGON ships? This is a biased poll!!! I want a recount!! It's rigged!!

Where are my fellow Klingons demanding equal representation??!!


:p

[Manx]

Just Hotlink alerts. The host sites don't allow linking directly to the images.

[RookActual]

I think integrity just failed on the poll, as someone rather obviously just realized you could vote multiple times. I find it odd that ten minutes ago the NX had one vote, and now has 12 or 13.

[Napalm006]

Try this, http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/nebula.htm
A great site for info on Star Trek.

[RookActual]

Sorry folks, but the poll has been thrashed....I find it VERY hard to believe the NX class would receive 18 or 20 votes inside of just a few minutes when the frequency of overall voting wasn't even that high. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

Or more realistically, sorry someone else didn't have the integrity to only vote once....much less more than a dozen times.

[walker555]

how can you vote multiple times?

I can account for 9 of the votes, 1 from me 8 from fleet members but none of the rest

[RookActual]

All you have to do is follow the link the same way you did the first time. :o I accidentally voted twice myself just now as I was testing to see if the result would go through.

[walker555]

that stinks, can we start a new one on a site that doesn't let you, also this time can we leave off the series ships lol

[RookActual]

I tried making four polls and every one of them had a major flaw. I think I'm out of the pollster business.

[walker555]

we need a good in-forum polling system, that would REALLY help sort out a lot of arguments

[Napalm006]

I dont think the Devs want to deal with constant poll harassment on THEIR forums. I think they are sick enough as it is of the constant re'threads' of No pvp, no cloak, player crews, beta, 'what would Roddenberry do', various canon debates, and any other various lack there of, of the SEARCH BUTTON.

Now there's a discussion I'd like to start. The Search Button For Spock, it could be called, and we'd discuss the virtues of not rethreading.

[ragarth]

Ah bummer the poll got killed by an ignoramus. I dunno which I'd vote for though: Intrepid or Nova. My only complaint about them is the bioneural gelpacks, I know too much about hardware neural networks for that idea to jive with me in terms of practicality.
