What class of Star Ship are you looking forward to playing around with?

[Kayden]

I have been wanting to play around with the Akira Class myself. I always felt that games like Bridge Commander, Legacy and a few others always under played the power of this class of ship, where they Sovereign always got the most attention. The Galaxy didn't seem to have much to it either even though there was allot of history for them to draw from. I hope there is more attention is given to these ships and more like the Nova, Defiant and etc Classes and it isn't just a small few that gives every player what they want, that way we can become attached to each ship in there own unique way.

[Wizek]

Intrepid class definitlly! :) Gr8 ship for exploration, not too bad firepower, cruiser speed, and at the top of else: Bioneural circuits! (Just one more thing that can go wrong xD) I love that ship and i really would love to go around inside it, and outside by it.

Definitely Akira for me too. I love this class.

[cptsmith1]

Intrepid Class or Galaxy class! if i could do any vessel..BORG CUBE transwarp!:p

[FEA_Lt_Timothy_Corey_Dalton]

As i wrote in "What ships do you want for game?" - intrepid and Prometheus.

[MillerEP]

Defiant Class!

[macgirl_lauren]

The Reliant was so full of win.

[Odain]

I would love the see some of the classic ships with the features in tact. Such as have the ability with the Galaxy class to transfer command of the ship to the battle bridge and seperate the ship. Give the Defiant class vessal the ability to cloak. Thngs like that.


Personally, I would love to be in a smaller class vessel such as a rhode island class or nova class with a small crew compliment. Or perhaps a nebula class research vessal.

The intrepid would be awesome for mediem range exploration. Its a great support assualt vessal. Has great research facilites, Bionueral circuitry(Faster system response time), and a great compiment of weapons.


Odain

[boz75]

I would love to command a galaxy class starship.

[Bele]

I have to agree with Odain here, I realy like the small vessels like the Rhode Islands or Nova. But I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the good ol' klingon vessels?
None of you ever felt like commanding a "Bird of Prey", a Vorcha or one of the many other ships the sons of Khaless use?

[JSM3050]

The Reliant was so full of win.So Miranda-class then? Same here unless I can get my hands on an Akira-class instead.

[Wonko]

I'll be happy to get any kind of ship, but I'm partial to Galaxy and Intrepid. Maybe an Excelsior refit...

[BanzaiZAP]

Akira has always been my favorite design. However, a Warbird would be a lot of fun, and there's something in me that really wants to zip about in a Bird of Prey.

[Daggaroth]

i would like to see a Prometheus or Sovereign or Defiant Class first for my personal tour of duty

[Kayden]

i would like to see a Prometheus or Sovereign or Defiant Class first for my personal tour of duty

I can almost see the Prometheus being an Admiral ship, just because of how powerful it is.

[mynameisjavits]

If I could have any ship I wanted I'd be tempted to say Romulan Warbird. However I doubt we'll get to fly those bad boys. In which case Intrepid class ftw. I love the lines of that ship. Also that might mean having an EMH :-) Perhaps if crew can be injured that mean faster healing or at least accelerated triage so as to deal with wounded more quickly.

EDIT: BY dealing with wounded more quickly I mean I have to worry about it less as I give commands to the crew.

[Rejs7]

I think the bird of prey will be good fun for the Klingons, though a nice Vor'Cha could also be tasty if one felt like stomping some peons.

For the Federation the Prometheus would be interesting due to its ability to split into three parts, though for more fun and exploration a Titan class ships (the one Ryker commands) or a Sabre class (Star Fleet Corps of Engineers) would also be interesting.

[cptsmith1]

Intrepid class :D

[SF_Sigman]

Intrepid class, fast and small

[Zorok]

excelsior becouse it a great ship.....um is it still in use in this time period?
if not, my second chioce is an intrepid, the first star trek i saw ever was voyager:D

[grbaker]

Vor'cha - :cool:

[FSFJosh]

A Bird of Prey would definitely be fun, though I wouldn't mind having a go at a Defiant or a Galaxy. And I second those that say Excelsior, as well. I always thought they were interesting ships. Given how long they were in service before, I'm sure a few would probably be around in the 25th century (after undergoing several refits, for sure).

[wareve]

Norway. I love the norway. Small. Powerfull. Just small enough to be fully mapable and big enough to be satisfying.

[samuraiwahoo]

I want a Battlestar. HAHAHAHAHA Battlestar Galactica OWNS STAR TREK.

Seriously though, I wonder if the Defiant will be one of the available options

[Kayden]

Norway. I love the norway. Small. Powerfull. Just small enough to be fully mapable and big enough to be satisfying.

I agree, I would also like to try a Nova as well if that is an option in the beginning.

[itiffanyturner]

No one said Nebula.

It has that interchangeable part on top of it. Imagine in the game you can change it to a weapons pod,
or a science lab, or a medical bay, or and engineering section. Nebula Class. The most well rounded ship

[AnthonySabre]

Either an Akira class or an Excelsior class. My two favorite ship designs.

[GRUNT1701]

Prometheus, Intrepid, and Defiant :)

[Rejs7]

It also depends on your style of play - the Klingon ships will probably be better for aggressive players, while the Star Fleet ships will be exploration based.

[spartan547]

I want a Sovereign class ship and a TOS era Klingon Battle Cruiser.

[captaeh]

Sovereign, Galaxy, Intrepid, or Defiant -- anything with a lot of firepower :)

[GUNNYCANUCK]

Janeway's shuttle...the one with the crazy armor and weapons etc.

But I would like to see a gradual progression like starting with a class 5 runabout or maybe something slightly smaller than the Nova class (or start with the Nova...seems like a prime "starter" command) then progress to the Intrepid, then Akria, then maybe the Nebula, then Galaxy, then Sovereign and lastly Prometheus.

[Yoggs]

My class would be an Ambassador just cause I love them so much, but they would be an older design by this time so i'd probably pick an Akira to command. :cool:

[DrAmyWeaver]

Intrepid with gull-wing doors too :D

Seriously, it's the only one I can call to mind that actually looks like it'd fly like anything other than a brick.

Second choice: Defiant or SteamRunner.

[Captain_Hiro_Nakamura]

Defiant Class!



Defiant Class Defiant Class Defiant Class Defiant Class yes sir that is going to be something i want to p[lay with

[Captain_Hiro_Nakamura]

Intrepid with gull-wing doors too :D

Seriously, it's the only one I can call to mind that actually looks like it'd fly like anything other than a brick.

love the sig and avatar by the way awesome. great show needed to be on a diffrent network

[AchillesHeel]

I guess they're not top-of-the-line anymore, but I still love the versatility of the Galaxy-class ships. I'm not sure how many of them are still around, though. They've had it rough. Enterprise, Odyssey, and Yamato all bought the farm. I think there were three or four more of them in the Dominion War, but I have no idea whether they survived.

[Kayos]

Romulan Warbird !! Hopefully they will release info on letting us play more races. Only 2 is kind of lame. We want war don't we? I want to play a Romulan and fly a Warbird.

[USSExcalibur]

nova at first, then i would have to transfer my command and ship name to the steamrunner class, as long as at least one tri cobalt torp bay is installed! i consider the nova to be a sleak speedy little ship, not the science vessel it was in voyager! and the steamrunner is kinda like a frigate, the workhorse of the new fed fleet, not fast not the best armored, but all around capable ship! and the look is so trek

[BadXAsh]

A refitted Constitution Class!

[kbird200425]

No doubt Interpid class ship.

[misterglass]

I'm surprised so many people picked Intrepid. Glad they are getting some credit for being a good design :D

I'm looking forward to Bird of Prey. I'm not a very aggressive player but t hey are just so beautiful to look at. Not much of a fan of the other Klingon ships but I do love me Birds of Prey.

Bigger ship, Prometheus naturally as it's the most advanced. Wonder if we'll be able to do any kind of customization on the ship, like add photon torpedo bays or anything. Or maybe just have empty hardpoints to fill.

[duck211]

Bird of Prey baby! Can't wait to come around, decloak and take out their main power grid :cool:

[Alekks]

I'd like to take the center seat of either an Akira or Intrepid. If either is as fun as I suspect they may be, I can see my character turning down chances at commanding a larger starship.

[Stu1701]

I'd love to play around with the Galaxy class. The Excelsior, Constitution refit, and Prometheus would be great too.

[Adonisaleus]

Akira and Intrepid would be fun to fly around in. although a Excelsior class ship would be nice (FTR Excelsior class vessels were still in service and WIDE usage during the Dominion War, a pretty efficient design)

[THX1138]

Akira, Nebula, Sovereign, Defiant, K'vort, Vor'cha, Negh'var all pack a punch. Be cool when you started out f you could command say a science vessel like a nova or Oberth or a older design like the Miranda or Constitution Refit , K't'inga and Birds Of Pray cos there so fit looking :)

[vel007]

Honestly, I'd be perfectly pleased flying around in a Miranda as a n00b pretending I'm Khan. :P

[cpt-picard1993]

just a thing i have alwaysed liked the solvergen class realy cos it looks cool and has great power

[DeadShot]

Borg cube surely has to be one of the things everyone wants! Or perhaps the bird-of-pray that can fire when cloaked from The Undiscovered Country, but that would just be for the ***** and giggles. :)

[clearymonkey]

I would love to get ahold of the Nova Class Starship, but soup it up more with speed/hull integrity/weaponry!

[s32ndELDRPanzer]

either an Excelsior refit or a K'tinga, a miranda wouldn't be bad either.

[0wl]

Numerous shuttles, freighters, several science vessels and many Klingon ships!

[Athos]

Galaxy Class (with the Generations Bridge) has always been my favorite. It may not be the most powerful, but she sure is majestic!

[JSM3050]

...a Titan class ships (the one Ryker commands)...It's actually a Luna-class. I like them, too (#3 on my list after Akira and Miranda).

[axcel.go]

Galaxy Intrepid Prometheus oh but all the ships in startrek are great!

[Ilithi_Dragon]

Galaxy Class (with the Generations Bridge) has always been my favorite. It may not be the most powerful, but she sure is majestic!

Actually, with a refit to incorporate the new technology developed for and deployed on ships like the Defiant, Sovereign and Prometheus (which would be expected, given that the Galaxy would be 10 years old at the launch of the Sovereign, making her about due for a significant refit), and barring the launch of any new 'bigger and better' capital ships before circa 2380, the Galaxy class WOULD be the most powerful. Even with the Sovereign's Type-XII arrays, either of the Galaxy's two big arrays puts out more firepower than any one of the Sovereign's arrays (they are just that BIG), and upgraded to Type-XII emitters (which not only put out more energy per emitter, but are slimmer, which means you can squeeze more into the same length of array), the Galaxy's two big arrays would be insanely powerful. The Galaxy also has a greater photon torpedo salvo than the pre-Nemesis refit Sovereign (10 fore and 10 aft, compared to 8 fore and 8 aft, respectively), and it wouldn't take much to double her torpedo capacity (which is half of what was originally considered in the first place, according to the TNG TM), giving her a total full salvo of 40 photon torpedoes, compared to the Nem Refit Sovereign's 27. Throw in a quantum torpedo launcher, regenerative shielding, and belts of ablative armor, and the Galaxy would be the top dog in the fleet once again, hands down.



As for the ships I'm looking forward to playing, I'm looking forward to the Steamrunner, New Orleans and Sovereign.

[DefiantFox]

Give me a Defiant Class Warship and a good crew i just hope my piloting skills in Star Trek Online are as good as my Bridge Commander Skills

btw looking for crew for my Defiant PM me if your interested S! captains

[Yomatar]

I'm all for small maneuverable ships. Intrepid and smaller would be a joy. Nothing like being a an annoying fly around the giants' heads.

[Roberto]

Sovereign class or Galaxy (in that order). Sometimes you need to traverse the universe in style - and a hell of a punch. I prefer the Sovereign classes durability and multitude of defensive functions.

How can you not love this thing?

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Sovereign_class

[djmillen]

1.Sovereign
2.Galaxy
3.Nebular
4.Defiant

[Bangs]

Can I pick Romulan? I've wanted to pilot a Valdore-class Warbird ever since I saw it in Nemesis at the Cinema's.

[Xextreem]

sure why not? a name is a name :p

[IanD967]

if they put them in i would LOVE to play with:

Achillies
Tahoe
Nebula
Akira (last resort with that one though)
Vor'Cha

[Xextreem]

I hope the add some real new ships. :D

[spokechecker5000]

I think I would like to see the prometheus class starship as a playable but Akira class would be cool for a smaller ship and of course the intrepid class. Just sooooo many possibilities...:D

[Reinkaos]

Sovereign and Defiant! :D Just hope I can pick a registry number too..

[Nagilum]

I wouldn't mind piloting the Delta Flier

[NCC-2000]

1. Prometheus
2. Galaxy
3. Defiant

[Duras]

Have a guess... Its the BoP, A Bird of Prey.

If its possible, with a cup holder.!! and NO fluffy dice.

[Nytok]

I'd like to see some of their new designs for cruisers and battleships first, but I guess the Akira Class or the Soveriegn Class. Can't believe that so many people actually like the Intrepid Class. I guess its not the "beautiful design" of the vessel.

[Ilithi_Dragon]

I actually hope they don't introduce any 'new' designs into the game, at least for the Federation. The only exception to that would be a brand-new replacement for the Galaxy, which would be due somewhere around the mid 2380s. The Feds already have plenty of ships to choose from, between the ships left over from the TMP-era, the early 24th Century (Ambassador and any of her contemporaries we simply haven't seen yet), the ships from the mid-24th Century (Niagara, Freedom and other ships between the Ambassador and Galaxy periods), the early TNG era (Galaxy, Nebula, Challenger, Cheyenne, New Orleans, etc.), the late TNG/Dominion War ships (Defiant, Steamrunner, Saber, Intrepid, Sovereign, etc.), and the ships that fit in somewhere between 2350 and 2370 (Akira, Yeager-type, etc.). There are already plenty of ships for the Feds to choose from, it's the other powers, the Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, etc. that need a greater ship selection.

The mod team for ST: Legacy I'm on (The Legendary Generations mod) has run into that problem many times, with having a HUGE selection of Fed ships (especially for TNG-era), as in a couple dozen+, with little more than a half-dozen designs for each of the other races, maybe a full dozen if they're really lucky. The Feds don't need any more ships.

I hope that Cryptic takes that same approach that was taken with the Star Fleet Command (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star_Fleet_Command) series and whole new ship classes are designed for the other playable races.

[Xenomorph]

Fed : Intrepid class
my pers favo : Kumari class ( andorian)

[IcarusTyler]

Paris-Class! (which is what they should have named the Delta-Flyer if it ever went into serial production)

But I'd rather go with the Luna, more of a science-vessel, but still with a punch, or a defiant, small and compact.

The Intrepid is also cool, and I'm guessing it's so popular because it has been shown to be rather nice, fast, agile and powerful, while the Galaxy and Sovereign are much hulkier.

[JesperBM]

I wouldn't mind taking my woman out for a spin in a Delta Flyer, a little romantic cruise to Risa and back. But the sensible voice inside me says I'm can't explore every inch of space in that. So I might need to find something a little more durable.

[Ilithi_Dragon]

Might I suggest the Nova, then? Or any of Starfleet's capital ships or heavy cruisers, if you're looking for more deep-space operations.

[JesperBM]

The Nova you say? I'll look into that.
How's the U.S.S. Titan compared to Enterprise E? Just a thought that has roamed in my head, this seems like a good place to vent it.

---------------------------------------------

Been seaching for The Nova you mentioned, any tips where to look it up?

[captainkirk]

My pick would have to be the Prometheus. That Multi-Vector-Assualt Mode looks pretty awesome.

[Ilithi_Dragon]

The Nova you say? I'll look into that

Yup. It's good for lengthy studies and surveys and such, though it's not built for deep-space missions. You'll want something bigger if that's what you're after.

How's the U.S.S. Titan compared to Enterprise E? Just a thought that has roamed in my head, this seems like a good place to vent it.

To be honest, I couldn't tell you, I don't know anything about the Luna class. My expertise lies within the realm of canon ships and technology, and as it only appears in a novel series, the Luna class isn't true canon. I also haven't read any of the USS Titan novels, so I can't give you any real comparison of the two.

I can tell you a lot about the Sovereign, though. Contrary to a common belief, the Sovereign is not a battleship (in terms of secondary rating; all Starfleet capital ships are explores by primary classifcation); instead, she is a battlecruiser, stronger than the Galaxy only through her quantum torpedo launcher and her advanced shields and armor (both of which would be negated by a refit to the Galaxy class to bring her up to date with the latest technology). Like a battlecruiser, the Sovereign is fast, very fast, both at warp and impulse speeds. She has powerful Type-XII arrays, though her arrays are a lot smaller than the arrays of Starfleet's two battleships, the Galaxy and the Nebula, and she doesn't have quite the same phaser hitting power as either of the two ships' big arrays (though she can put more power out of the smaller arrays covering her flanks). She has a powerful torpedo barrage, especially after the Nemesis refit, with a total salvo of 18 photon and 6 quantum torpedoes fore and aft initially (for a total salvo equivalent to 27 photon torpedoes), and 27 photon and 9 quantum torpedoes after the Nemesis refit (for a total salvo equivalent to 54 photon torpedoes). Her impulse drive is also ridiculously over-powered, with to exra-large main impulse engines on the rear of the saucer, and two additional impulse engines (normally inactive) mounted on the underside of the engineering hull, making her extremely fast and agile for her size (and giving her a significant secondary power reserve compared to most other starships, which is why the Enterprise was able to continue fighting even after her warp core was knocked offline in the opening stages of the battle with the Scimitar).


All in all, the Sovereign's a powerful battlecruiser, but she's also a very capable deep-space explorer, which is her primary design purpose. She's a good, solid ship, whose advanced technology will likely stay ahead of the game for a good while to come.

It looks like a nice ship (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Nova_class), although Memory Alpha describes it as "designed for short-term planetary research missions."

Incidentally, for a research ship with a crew of 80, the thing has three torpedo launchers and eleven phaser arrays. It's plausible that Star Fleet intended it to function as a reconnaissance ship during times of war; USS Nova, which may been the class ship, was part of Battle Group Omega (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star_Fleet_Battle_Group_Omega) in "Star Trek: Nemesis." It also has planetary landing and atmospheric flight capabilities.

Yeah, the USS Nova in Nemesis was almost certainly the pathfinder of the class (registry matches up). However, don't let the phaser count deceive you; just because she has a lot of guns doesn't make them particularly powerful. They are all extremely short arrays, so they can't put out much power; in fact, the Nova's largest two arrays are only about the size of the Intrepid's belly array (maybe not even that... I can't remember for sure off the top of my head, and I don't have access to my notes since I'm at work), so they're all pretty light. The torpedo launcher capacity isn't all that outstanding, either, since she's only equipped with standard single-fire launchers. She's certainly capable of defending herself against comparably-sized opponents, but she's no real combat vessel.

[checkmarkit]

I personally can't wait to command both the galaxy and intrepid class star ships. There is something to be said for being in charge of ships classes similar to the Captain greats such as Picard and Janeway.

I wonder if STO will let you add borg modifications to the intrepid class? Wouldn't that be incredible?

[Ilithi_Dragon]

I wonder if STO will let you add borg modifications to the intrepid class? Wouldn't that be incredible?

I'm... not going to agree with that sentiment... >.>

[lootra]

i would love a constellation, but they would be out of service by now... id have... uhh... norway class

[bitgolem]

To be honest with you... I don't care if it's a Bozeman class research vessel. I just wanna get my Trek on!

[Blackfire2]

Well since I cant have the old connie , I'll settle for the Nebula, love the look of that ship. :)

[IcarusTyler]

Hmmm... The Raven was somewhat interesting...

[usscait]

i would love to captain a prometheus class or an akira or intrepid

[Reinkaos]

A Defiant, for some lovely escort/covert/behind enemy lines missions :D

[Ilithi_Dragon]

Covert? The Defiant isn't exactly subtle... Yeah, she's small, but so's a sawed-off shotgun.

People forget that it isn't the Defiant CLASS that has a cloak, it was only the original Defiant class USS Defiant that had a cloak, on loan, with strict Terms of Use, and that it was destroyed along with the first Defiant after Sisko had voided the warranty. Deffie's got no cloak.

[Admiral.of.Starfleet]

Prometheus Class- MVAM all I have to say.

[-justin.m-]

Intrepid Class USS Voyager (NCC-74656)

[FSFSorveck]

I'd have to say either Defiant or Intrepid

[Mattakatex]

iwould go and take the defiant and excaliber clas ships

[Roberto]

I'm... not going to agree with that sentiment... >.>

I don't agree with it at all.

[HighwayMan]

I think my first choice would probably be the Akira class though I am a fan of the Nova and Defiant classes as well.

[Yezar]

Gotta be the Ambassador for me. You can really see the change in tech, design and era change in the class. I hope they'll have it in game

[Hammond]

Akira class

If there is one thing that I'm going to need... It's going to be quantum torpedoes, and lots of them :cool:

[lumpking69]

captains yacht anyone ?

[Sorayn]

I'd probably go for a Defiant class. Is a compact design, sleek, subtile but still packing a big punch. A lot of ships within Starfleet feel to "cozy" and "family-like" to me. All exploring aside, Starfleet is in parts a Military Organization and i'ts warships, such as the Defiant, should reflect this in their designs.

ON the KLingon side I'd opt for one of the old D7 Cruisers. They were really nice and I loved thier refit class in DS9 "The way of the Warrior".

[IcarusTyler]

I wonder if we are only limited to federation or klingon desgin... a jem'hadar battlecruiser sure would be awesome.

[Sorayn]

Interesting point. I'd like to look into The Cardassian Ship lines myself.

[Yezar]

Interesting point. I'd like to look into The Cardassian Ship lines myself.

Yeah I'll agree with that.

[IcarusTyler]

I know: Alice!

[Stormnet]

I'd have to go with the Defiant personally...

Subtle? It's about as subtle as a bear trap going off on your crotch.

[deeminga]

IMHO, I think I'd go for a Miranda, Akira or in particular, the Defiant. Light and fast, these (especially the defiant) would be a holy terror in a multi-ship brawl. Bob and weave, rope-a-dope! Where am i? Over here? Nope! Over here? Still wrong! Ya can't touch it! Ya can't baby!..... sigh :p

[Ilithi_Dragon]

Actually, the Miranda and Akira aren't all that particularly maneuverable, relatively speaking. The Akira's a fairly large heavy cruiser, and the Miranda is a very old cruiser (now comparable to a Frigate or Corvette in rating). Like all Fed starships, the Akira is fairly maneuverable for her size, but only for her size, and the Miranda's engine and maneuvering systems are too antiquated to keep her agile by modern standards.

[Reinkaos]

Aye, when it decloaks and fires a full spread of quantum torpedoes at your warp core :D

If you can stomach some fresh gagh, I recommend a Bird of Prey (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Klingon_Bird-of-Prey).

Star Fleet doesn't seem to have anything designed for covert missions, per se (although if you think about it, it makes sense that such a ship wouldn't be designated as such). The Miranda class (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Miranda_class) ships appear to have tremendous versatility, and have served as exploration ships, survey ships, transports, and combat escorts. Also, if a ship's size is any reflection of it's stealth capabilities, a Miranda wouldn't be a bad choice: Compare it's 233m to a Nebula's 442m, a Galaxy's 640m, and a Sovereign's 685m. They're older ships, but that just shows how effective they are, and they've probably had a lot of upgrades. At least two Mirandas took part in Operation Return in 2374, and at least one participated in the attack on Cardassia Prime in 2375. They're also darned cool-looking, imo. :D

You might be right, but it's worth noting that Captain Sisko assigned two Mirandas to accompany USS Defiant during Operation Return. They both got blown to heck, but he must have thought they could keep up with Defiant.

[Ilithi_Dragon]

Aye, when it decloaks and fires a full spread of quantum torpedoes at your warp core :D

THE DEFIANT CLASS DOES NOT HAVE A CLOAKING DEVICE!!!!

Why does everyone think this? I don't get it! The U.S.S. Defiant NX-74205 was equipped with a cloak that was given to the Federation on loan by the Romulan Empire, with very strict terms of use, for the purposes of gathering intelligence on the Dominion in the Gamma Quadrant. It was only to be operated under the direct supervision of an assigned Romulan officer, in the Gamma Quadrant, otherwise the Romulans would consider its use a violation of the Treaty of Algeron (and thereby, an act of war. An agreement that Sisko violated multiple times, thereby comitting multiple acts of war against the Romulan Star Empire). That cloaking device was destroyed with the NX-74205 Defiant when she was destroyed at the Second Battle of Chin'Toka, and there was no rhyme nor reason for the Romulan Star Empire to loan the Federation another cloaking device when the USS Sao Paulo was re-commissioned USS Defiant, both because intelligence gathering in the Gamma Quadrant was of no concern anymore, and because the Federation had already proven its inability to be trusted with a cloaking device multiple times. Nor was it ever indicated that they had decided to renew the agreement with new USS Defiant. Even if they had, that still would only be equipped aboard the USS Defiant, one ship, not the entire class.

[Ilithi_Dragon]

If you can stomach some fresh gagh, I recommend a Bird of Prey (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Klingon_Bird-of-Prey).

Star Fleet doesn't seem to have anything designed for covert missions, per se (although if you think about it, it makes sense that such a ship wouldn't be designated as such). The Miranda class (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Miranda_class) ships appear to have tremendous versatility, and have served as exploration ships, survey ships, and combat escorts. Also, if a ship's size is any reflection of it's stealth capabilities, a Miranda wouldn't be a bad choice: Compare it's 233m to a Nebula's 442m, a Galaxy's 640m, and a Sovereign's 685m. They're older ships, but that just shows how effective they are, and they've probably had a lot of upgrades. At least two Mirandas took part in Operation Return in 2374, and at least one participated in the attack on Cardassia Prime in 2375. They're also darned cool-looking, imo. :D

Many Mirandas and Excelsiors took part in all the major battles of the Dominion War. And they were slaughtered like the antiquated cruisers they are (If you notice, going into Operation Return, there are Mirandas and Excelsiors left and right, but towards the end, just before the Klingons come in to help the Defiant, the only two TMP-era ships we see are the two Mirandas tagging along in formation with the Defiant, just before they get blown to pieces. After that, all we see are newer ships in the battle.

There are plenty of newer ships that are of similar size to the Miranda, and far more capable and upgradable. The only reason the Miranda was in service in such numbers during the Dominion War is because Starfleet needed every ship with weapons it could field.

[Roberto]

Aye, when it decloaks and fires a full spread of quantum torpedoes at your warp core :D

I hate to break it to you - but - only the defiant had a cloaking device. It wasn't a class exclusive. Lil dragon went on about it in detail a few back. You better read it before he/shes head implodes.

If there are still a lot of them in service, they sound ideal for covert ops; but if there are only a few left, they'd probably be too recognizable.

[Ilithi_Dragon]

It's he, and the spelling is i-L-i-thi, not L-i-L-thi (don't worry, lotsa people get it mixed up; many fonts don't make enough of a distinction between capital i and lower-case L). And my head won't blow up, but it is lunch time. } ; = 8 )


If there are still a lot of them in service, they sound ideal for covert ops; but if there are only a few left, they'd probably be too recognizable.

There were a lot left before the Dominion War, though most Mirandas had been relegated to secondary operations (dedicated scientific operations, supply and personnel transport, courier duty, etc.), and were nowhere near the front lines or deep space operation (Excelsiors weren't a whole lot better, though they're a bit younger, and were better equipped from the get-go, so they were still capable enough to serve as one of Starfleet's older mainstays prior to the war). After the Dominion War is hard to say, but the Excelsiors and Mirandas took heavy losses due to their aging designs, and the Miranda would be due for retirement by the end fo the war, anyway.

As for their capabilities on covert operations, it depends on the type of operation. In operations where the ship is going to be seen, and doesn't need to have high, or even standard performance, Mirandas and Excelsiors could be acceptable, though they would both be well-known Starfleet designs, which would attract some attention (the only possible exception is if the Federation had 'sold' several of their older designs to neighboring minor powers, which would allow for the possibility of them being non-Starfleet, though that is only speculation).

Beyond that, a newer design, with more advanced and more easily upgraded systems would be a much better choice.

[Capt_Thomas_R_Castle]

This is an excellent question. I would have to say that there are a few that most people overlook. Most Klingon and Romulan vessels are forgotten in favor of the more technologically advanced vessels of Starfleet. Not a lot of challenge in Starfleet vessels unless you go with some of their less considered vessels like the Reliant (Miranda Class), Stargazer (Constellation Class), Grissom (Oberth Class), or even the Pasteur (Olympic Class). Almost all of the Klingon Vessels look like they are itching for a fight, with their chins (Command Pods) thrust out and arms (Warp Nacelles) drawn back ready to swing. They look like they mean business! Come to think of it, the Miranda, Akira, and Norway class look a lot like this also. For the Romulans let's not forget the Valdore!

I myself lean towards the Miranda and Constellation class for the Federation, the D-7 K'Tinga Class for the Klingons, and the V-7 Whitewind Class (from FASA's RPG) for the Romulans!

Any ship is only as good as its commander, Imagine what James T. Kirk could do with the right ship at his command, and Spock and Scotty at his side!

[John]

i would also like to play the Akira Class ship but have liked the design of the NX-01 class ship since might of been small but looked like a good class of ship i'd like to play aorund with and design in the 25th century

[ghjei2002]

I have no idea what classes the game will have but I hope the following class of ships will be in the game that I look forward to playing. The federation lass of ships are the nova class, galaxy class, excelsior class, Ambassador class, miranda class, Sovereign class, Prometheus class, Nebula class, Constellation class, and last but not least the constitution class.

[axcel.go]

A ship I could make by myself would be nice...,but INTREPID/GALAXY/Experimental?

[fritos1]

I'm looking to playing with a war-bird

[neokn]

Intrepid definitely. I wonder how the dev team will modify or change the Intrepid class to reflect the 20+ years between the conception of the original in the 2370s and the game's setting. I would expect some Prometheus or Sovereign class elements and designs.

Actually many ships might not look as we know them. Many might not be in service anymore :(

[BombardierBob]

Hmmm...I have to say for me Ether a Steamrunner Class or Akira Class or maybe a Nova Class or a customized design ship that I can create with standard parts at first.

~Bob

[Sendric]

I'd like to /sign the request for the Luna Class:

http://startrek.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Luna_class_starship_specs.jpg

I'd also be psyched to see the "All Good Things" Galaxy Class Refit...which would immediately need to be nerfed.

But I'd be pleased to fly the Botony Bay...want me some Trek time

Maybe even the NSEA Protector?

[BombardierBob]

Hmmm...now where is the TARDIS when we need her! :p

[Artius]

Wouldn't mind serving aboard a Galaxy class ships, however I'm hoping for the Constitution class refit. The successor, the Excelsior was still in use past the Next Generation. I'm sure she can take another refit.

[Fiach]

Nebula class is the TNG era ship of choice for me. If it makes it into the game I'll be looking to work my way up to one for sure.

[Galactica53]

I would love to Captain a Constellation but if there to Old (and I hope there still kickin and clawin around) I wouldn't mind a Cheyenne class. Yeulp I have a thing for the 4 warp nacelle design starships :)


A Refit Constellation would be totally good in my Captains log :) even more so if we get to Name em :D

[James_Jon_George]

Excelsior refit, or even the new "Regal" mix between an excelsior and sovereign in starfleet command 3

[Ilithi_Dragon]

A note on the TMP-era ships:

With the game taking place in 2399, ships like the Excelsior, Miranda, Constellation, Centaur-type, etc. will be extremely out-dated. The Excelsior will be over 110 years old, the Miranda over 120 (the Miranda should have been retired several years prior to the start of the game, actually, though seeing some ships of the design in civilian service, or sold to minor powers with less advanced technology would still be reasonable). The Constellation will probably be about the same; probably less 110 years old, but she was under-powered and over-worked, according to Picard, so it's entirely possible that she may have been retired, as well. The Excelsior, if it is still in service, should be well on its way to retirement, with the class serving mostly as couriers, transports and dedicated science vessels.

Many of the TNG-era ships should still be perfectly functional designs, though some of them (such as the Ambassador and Niagara) would be aging, and we should be well into a whole new generation of starships (which should have started cropping up in force sometime around 2385-2390, with a new design or two trickling in between the end of the Dominion War and then).

[Briggs]

There are a lot of Trek ships that I would love to play around with.

Galaxy class because TNG was the first Trek I ever saw.
Sovereign because it just looks absolutely cool.
Defiant because it is a small, compact ship with some serious teeth.
The Intrepid, because I kind of like the idea of a smaller ship that is centered on exploration.
Prometheus because its multi-vector combat capabilities were just amazing.

If we ever got to try other faction ships, I'd love to try out a Vor'Cha, Negh'var, B'rel, or any other Klingon ship.

Toss me a Warbird too, while you're at it.

Oh, and how about taking a Borg Cube for a spin? Or better yet, a Tactical Cube. Yes, that would be quite fun..

[joric]

Starfleet ship I would have to say the Intrepid or even the classic Constitution class, Klingon I would have to go with the Vorcha class. Romulan of course the Warbird.

[sidewinder_STR]

incursion.
a DEFIANT that can mimic any other ship in the galaxy.
enough said.

[Blackulas]

Offcures the USS Defiant (NX-74205) it has a great armament and cloaking....it can't be better then that.

[Milosv]

Bird of prey

[Mozbe]

Defiant class, hands down

[Mango359]

I think I'd probley go with a smaller ship like the Nova Class. Just like the Rhode Island.

[MrFurious]

Subtle? It's about as subtle as a bear trap going off on your crotch.

...can't...stop...looking at your avatar.

[renef78]

Defiant is a definite must-have. I'd also love to try out the Prometheus. The Sovereign is the big prize, though.

I wonder, however, if as I level up, if I'll be able to keep a ship that I particularly like. For instance, say I really like the Defiant and don't want to lose it. Will I be able to keep it for the rest of my career, or am I going to have to give it up for something bigger?

[TIinPA]

1.) Delta Flyer II
2.) Intrepid
3.) Akira
4.) Steamrunner
5.) Federation Scout ship (might be a good starting noob ship btw)
6.) Federation attack fighter

In that order.

[Bonzo]

I have often wondered what it would be like to be a general commanding the bridge of a mighty Negh'Var.

But as far as federation vessels go, I've always been a bit sentimental, shying away from the newer vessels, small and large alike, in preference for the slightly older yet still powerful ships. An ideal example of this would be the galaxy class.

I think the prometheus class would be fun to poke around in, and the intrepid purely because I loved Voyager.

[Capt_Thomas_R_Castle]

Perhaps the answer is to create totally NEW ships. Surely, in an entitiy as vast and diverse as the United Federation of Planets there must be more than than these 12 classes of new ships; Sovereign, Galaxy, Luna, Nebula, Akira, Intrepid, Norway, Steamrunner, Nova, Defiant, Sabre, and Olympic. Think of how many classes of ships exist in the navies on modern day (2008) Earth.

[paladin15132]

This is my major gripe with the game being set so far in the future. All of these ships are outdated by this time. The Enterprise A was retried after what 20 years? The Ambassadors and Excelcirs to name a few are all old by this time. They are throwing away all those desighns or are going to make starfleet look like the coast guard that has been forgotten and not updated in years.

Federation starship designs operational circa 2375:
Akira
Ambassador
Apollo
Centaur-Type
Challenger
Cheyenne
Constellation
Curry-Type
Danube (though a runabout, they have been referred to as starships on multiple occasions, and often operate as ultra-small, relatively short-range starships)
Defiant
Excelsior
-Excelsior Mk.2 (independent design or variant of original, depending on how you count it)
Freedom
Galaxy
Intrepid
Merced
Miranda
Nebula
New Orleans
Niagara
Norway
Nova
Oberth
Olympic
Prometheus
Renaissance
Rigel
Saber
Sovereign
Soyuz
Springfield
Steamrunner
Wambundu
Yeager-Type


There are several other ship classes listed as being in service circa 2375 by the Starfleet Encyclopedia and other material, but they are either transport vessels, or they do not have any on-screen mentions or references to any of the ship names listed. The ships seen on-screen that we know only the name of one ship, and not the pathfinder of the class, may be one of the classes for which we have never seen a corresponding ship (such as Renaissance and Wambundu).

[Ilithi_Dragon]

The Ambassadors and Excelcirs to name a few are all old by this time. They are throwing away all those desighns or are going to make starfleet look like the coast guard that has been forgotten and not updated in years.

Actually, the Enterprise-A had been in service for some 50 years or more, and had gone through a massive complete overhaul; a lot of new technology was being introduced by the time she was retired, and the Constitution, though it performed exceptionally well in its heyday, was a hold-over from the previous generation at the end of the current generation. It makes sense that the design would have been retired by that point, given all the new technology that was starting to crop up (and before anyone mentions it, there's no evidence that the Miranda was a hold-over like the Constitution, making it much younger, and more practical to upgrade, than her larger cousin).

Also, the Excelsior was already old by the start of TNG, and was nearing the end of its practical lifespan by the end of Voyager. The Ambassador, however, could still be a perfectly viable starship, with some overhauling. Refit the saucer to combine the three dorsal and three ventral strips into one big array et al the Galaxy and Nebula, upgrade its torpedo and shield capacity to modern standards, and throw in upgraded warp and impulse reactors (and standard refits and upgrades to all other systems), and it's a perfectly viable starship. The Ambassador is actually one of the four largest starships in the fleet, coming in just behind the Niagara. Both ships could easily be upgraded to modern standards, with some yard work. They wouldn't be speed demons or anything, but they'd still be able to pull decent speed (especially the Niagara, which should already be a speed demon in its own right), and would be no more difficult to upgrade than the much older Excelsiors and Mirandas.


And as for the U.S. Coast Guard, I've seen them showing off some pretty impressive new toys at different events I've been to (most notably, one of their new cutters I got to climb around in at the '05 National Scout Jamboree). I don't know how widely distributed those new toys are, but they certainly aren't completely neglected.

[Ryan3932]

As i wrote in "What ships do you want for game?" - intrepid and Prometheus.

I totally agree, maybe the Akira and Defiant classes too~

I don't know what classes they will or won't have, but I wouldn't mind being able to play around with a Luna class ship either.

I wanna see the difference of the mechanics Constellatiion and the Galaxy class myself.. Kirk served on a Constellation and Picard served on a Galaxy... two awesome ships, two awesome captains.... The mechanics and the system have to be very different...

i want the defiant and my fleet is helping me achieve that goal

[magusvx]

id like to have the TNG enterprise but in the episode where all the alternate universes collide i want the one with the 3 warp nasells i think they r called... or the one admirl riker has in all good things. .. so long as i can take out the borg then any ship will do

[Clio]

Good info here:

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Category:Starship_classes

Nova Class Science Vessel for me

[Endeavour]

magusvx - it's called the Galaxy X

Personally, I want either a Galaxy or a Soverign. I very much doubt that we will see a Constitution class. There may not even be an Excelsior class, as the Sov was intended to replace them.

[McCartney]

Well I have always have had a soft spot for a intrepid class as well as for the prometheus class.

[Mechanic001]

romulan D'deridex class warbird Simple answer there that thing is a beast along with that cloak :) .
To be klingon i would have to go with a Bird of prey, to sneak up behind enemies and decloak and Boom!! :)
For federation I would have to go with either a Prometheus or the Nebula :) and more other starships! :D

[G24]

Has to be the Sovereign class for sheer size and brute force

[JeffCapo]

I would love to try out a Constellation class (Stargazer) or a modified Excelsior class (Enterprise B)

[sarcasticgeek]

Defiant, Akira , Nova, and Sovereign. Defiant class ships always pwned in the TV shows.

[CC-Dreadlord]

Sabre...Don't ask...just love those little ships...

[Arachnidus]

Either a Defiant class or a Sovereign Class, maybe an Intrepid or Nova class.

[slinx]

The Dauntless Class.

[Piotrek]

like a few others i would like to fly the Prometheus class ship. My other choices are the Intrepid and the Defiant class.

[LocutusOfBorg]

This is a toughie, but I would choose an Intrepid Class with the Delta Flyer in support. Voyager went through a lot with little in starbases to repair her. She survived the Borg, the Kazon and many others in her travels. Voyager suvived the year from hell with very major outer hull damage. Not the fastest nor the most powerful in the fleet but up for a battle or two.

If only I could find Seven Of Nine as a First Officer.......:D

[alexr123]

its got to be the akira class by far:D

[nsb2008]

... either the Intrepid or Prometheus class of ship.

Either are a cool ship... if I had a choice, in hindsight... would choose the Prometheus with that awesome multi-vector assault mode - as seen in Voyager episode "Message in a Bottle..."

I might PM the developers and see if its one of the class of ships that is being developed for STO.

[NeoWolf]

Definitely the Intrepid class for me, I love the Aesthetics of that ship design.

I would also like to have a second captain flying a Defiant class as that is one tough little ship (que Worf saying "Little"? *frown*).

[vitamin_t]

Sovereign class. I felt it was a nice evolution of the previous Constitution and Galaxy class vessels.

[havesomes]

The Akira Class and the Defiant Class...small, fast, and heavily armed.

[JKMurphy]

does anyone know what class this the ship that can split into 3, it's the one the doctor was transmitted into to let the feds know that voyager was still out there, that's the one I'd like to have a play in. but I'm looking forward to all of them.

Olympic-class FTW! It could use a little firepower...but i think it looks slick. I also hope they have older classes like Excelsior, Miranda, Oberth etc... Maybe as starter ships because they'd be old and weaker...but those ships were built to last.

[Voyager24]

Well if the Intrepid Class is in the game i'm taking that one and the Galaxy class.:D

[unifier]

I'm up for checking out the Excalibur class IF the engines AREN'T green lol it looks pretty big. Commanding a Galaxy class starship will be awes esp if the bridge if fitted out as of ST:Generations era. oh and btw I f**king hate the defiant. Its a lil s**t - i mean where the heck is the saucer section - it defies starshipness I'd shoot at it - Borg invasion or no

[PAw]

Discovery mainly but i really want to mess around in a Yellowstone Runabout.

[Valdore]

Warbird would be fun, but my favourite is the Valdore class :)
And what do You think about The Scimitar? :D

[CwlHez]

Klingon Bird of Prey- perfect for sneaking up on unsuspecting prey under cloak & blowing them to pieces with disruptors after quickly de-cloaking!!

For the Empire!

[Highcommander]

To be honest I always thought the small shuttles were cool, kinda like a small fighter.

[Kipper]

I'm really looking forward to getting my mits on a Nova-class. I'm hoping there'll be a position for smaller and weaker ships (I say weaker, they're just designed for a different purpose) in every fleet. I'd quite willingly command a Nova-class ship permanently if the game allows for it rather than it being one of the lower teir of ships.

I'd rather not be the only "weak" ship in a server full of Sovereign-class (or whatever) ships just because they'll be one of the more powerful ships.

The Federation isn't just a horde of the same ships, there are different ships for different things and I hope Cryptic take that into consideration.

[SuicideRUN]

Constitution Class or Grendel class Gorn dreadnought.

[MarioMadeira]

Sovereing and Galaxy Class for sure!!!!

Live Long and Prosper!

I agree with you here. I hope that some sort of economy system is installed that allows you to 'purchase' different ships with different capabilities, for different purposes, though, of course, making the cost of buying and selling ships be prohibitive enough to prevent people from swapping ships left and right, which would also force players to mix their 'fleets' up when working together, to get the different strengths and weaknesses of the different classes.

I really hope that the ship itself is a rank indicator (i.e. "I just lvled up from a Steamrunner to an Akira!"), and that it doesn't just become a 'Sovereign-X' free-for-all. As you said, there are many different ships for many different purposes, and even within the same general mission parameters, there are different classes available with different capabilities. Not everyone wants to play a Sovereign-X, and getting the Sovereign-X shouldn't be the pinnacle of rank advancement.

Mutli Vector Assault mode. Pfft, :P

I prefer the good old Akira or bigger cruisers like the Intrepid class, being able to pilot a Sovreign class wouldn't be too bad either, really though I want a Borg Tactical Cube. I can just assimilate all the other ships I want! :P

I'm thinking the latest variant of the Runabout would suit me fine. Drop the stock equipment, tricked out as a "runner" and I would be a shoe-in for the Serenity Station fleet that is forming up. Second choice would be a Nova that I could heavily modify to be stealthy and fast, a "Snoop 'n Poop" platform if you will.

[Goobers82]

Defiant, would be my choice.

[ZeRoCooL157]

I would like a Nebula Class, what with it's customizable superstructure.

[Ravain]

I have been wanting to play around with the Akira Class myself. I always felt that games like Bridge Commander, Legacy and a few others always under played the power of this class of ship, where they Sovereign always got the most attention. The Galaxy didn't seem to have much to it either even though there was allot of history for them to draw from. I hope there is more attention is given to these ships and more like the Nova, Defiant and etc Classes and it isn't just a small few that gives every player what they want, that way we can become attached to each ship in there own unique way.

Prometheus, Akira, Intrepid, Modified Miranda class. To my knowledge there only 19 classes

A
Akira class starship
Ambassador class starship
C
Constellation class starship
Constitution class starship
D
Danube class starship

[Ravain]

New classes???

[ScrewySquirrel]

I'd love to have a fast, lightly armed frigate. Probably a Frigile ship whose defense is speed and maneuverability. Perhaps only a couple phasers and 1 photon tube, for instance. but which runs circles around bigger ships and is hard to target and pin down.

something maybe 2/3 the size of Defiant, with a lighter weapon load. Designed as a ship that escorts bigger ships.


Also when the Romulans come out, I'd love a faster, slightly better armed version of that Romulan cloaking ship from "Balance of Terror": BIG gun and submarine warfare.

[Koji-san]

I would definitely like to play around with the new Luna Class star ships developed by Dr. Xin Ra-Havreii in 2369 at the Utopia Planitia station yards. This new type of vessel boasts state-of-the-art propulsion and science equipment. It even has new untested science equipment not tested on other classes. This ship was, is, and all purposes, designed for long-range exploration and long-term missions.

[CorranHorn]

The type of ship i would like to command would have to be a Soverign Class-Starship. The Galaxy class starship looks boring now because we've seen enough of it on "STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION" but the Soverign class hasn't really been explored that much since the three films it debuted in "STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT, STAR TREK: INSURRECTION, and STAR TREK: NEMERCIS". The same thing with two other ships with seen in film and TV "U.S.S. ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-B & C anyway i would love to command a Soverign class ship because of the sleek design and of course the firepower it has on it. p.s. can't wait for it to come out.

[skywolf]

Intrepid and Sovereign are my favorites. Second favorites are Akira and Nova. If there are carrier-type ships, I would fly those too.

Too bad the NX class is so old. That is my favorite ship!!

[Reaganfan93]

NX Class, definatly

[Highcommander]

oops mistake

[Aametherar]

Borg Tactical Cube

[MushroomGod]

MushroomGod Class

[NeoWolf]

Id also note for down the line Im also looking froward to the Romulans so I can get my hands on a D'deridex Warbird :) oh yeah

[Lendosan]

Id also note for down the line Im also looking froward to the Romulans so I can get my hands on a D'deridex Warbird :) oh yeah

Amen to that!

Also the Excelsior class. Love how it looks, it just glides through space on the wings of angels, carrying the babes of perfection and armed with the sword of rightousness.

[Cuddles]

Borg Tactical Cube

Quoted for truth and awesomeness.


Now to hax0r the program while loaded in memory and tell it I have a Borg Tactical Cube lol!


The Cuddles class I make myself will probably be all I need.

[Phunix]

I've always had a thing for the Bird of Prey, but I wouldn't trying out the Scimitar :D

[Jenga12]

A Prometheus clas, definately.

[SakeGami]

Definately want to be cruisin' around the galaxy in a Klingon Vor'cha.

[thronin]

i wish they make the older ships ala excelsior and miranda, however that does seem unlikely so i guess the akira class would be fun to play with.

[Fanaticalist]

Galor-class for the meat grinder. I love to be a cog in the machine for some reason :cool:

Maaaybe Intrepid if I go Federation.

[QuestionDeca]

Personally, I'd like a Sovereign or Galaxy class myself.

[Ravain]

Allot Of Choice We May Have

[thelionwaits]

Most definitely any of the features starships from the series' and the films. I'd locve to give the Nova or Rhode Island a spin. Let's not forget others like the Steamrunner or the Sabre classes. Not sure on their particular capabilities, but they looked really interesting. Bad criteria, to be sure, but a lot can be said for going your own route with one of the newer class ships.

[fade101]

I would like an Excelsior-class, as it is the starship I am familiar with as well as the Intrepid.

[BCSJake]

The defiant hopefully just cause worf made it look awsome when he was fighting the borg i think it were :) :)

[TheProphets]

Some how some way, I'd like to use a Constitution class ship. She may be old, but shes got class.

;)

[Cuddles]

That ship has more class than any other ever constructed in Star Trek.

An old D-7 would be awesome too.

I hope they include the necessary mods to have your ship styled as a constitution. Even if it has Type 8 or better phasers.

[djnattyd]

I'd have the Reman Scimitar and take you all down from behind the safety of my cloak.... MWAHAHAHA!
Either that or if i could have any ship ever seen in Star Trek i'd have the U.S.S Relativity and kill you, go back in time and kill you again :D

[JCairell]

Intrepid... I've loved the design since it first appeared.

[JCairell]

This is why I love the Intrepid class. Janeway put her through the paces but Voyager never failed them. And the Delta Flyer would be a great secondary support vessel.

[Kipper]

Plus it'd be cool if the nacelles moved into the upward postion before jumping to warp. :p

Aside from my initial choices of a Nova-class and Intrepid-class ships, I'd also like to see the Typhon-class developed a little further.

The Galaxy-class is also growing on me, even though I practically hated it last week. O_o

[Lendosan]

I just want an Excelsior :(

[Ravain]

This is why I love the Intrepid class. Janeway put her through the paces but Voyager never failed them. And the Delta Flyer would be a great secondary support vessel.

That ship was put thru hell and back and wasn't it newly built when janeway took it? Right out of the shipyard?

[Ravain]

Akira class anyone?

[Captain-Picard]

I'm looking forward to the Excelsior class starship.

[Saladin_Class]

I thik I need ot repost this

DEFIANT

is NOT a ship class, it was a single special ship build, one of a kind, the little engine that could.

[IanD967]

actually it is a class, there was the Valiant aswell as the two other defiant class ships in the Voyager episode "message in a bottle" where they attempt to re-claim the Prometheus

[njdss4]

I'd really love to see the classics. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a Constitution or Excelsior class ship in STO since it's in the 25th century, but I can't help it. They are my favorites.

If I really have to pick a ship I know will be in STO, I'd have to go with the Defiant class (yes, it's a class, just like how the Excelsior was both the name AND the class). It's a "tough little ship" to quote Will Riker. Also, I really want a cloaking device. I don't wanna get ganked by a bunch of Klingon players.

[BCSJake]

Im looking forward to playing with is the Andorian Destroyer, Taholsin Class
it just looks cool to me but i dont know whether it'll be in the game because it was in the era of the romulan war :( :)
look on here to find it: www.geocities.com/Xenodharma/TrekRWarships.html

[Biggs87]
