>>8 Been flying around different boards, looking for our new home. Guess this will be it now.

>>11 We'll see how it goes. Hopefully the bump in traffic will get a few more people here.

>>8 Never actually thought about it but the Intrepid is the first that comes to mind. It's between this and Romulan warbird, just due to how goofy it looks, it's a campy sort of comfy. >>12 >>11 Here's to the future!

>>14 Warbirds are neat, I always liked their green color schemes. Probably my favorite of the non-Federation ships.

Miranda class for me, probably exactly because it doesn't look at all cool, but that saucer just sitting there on top of those nacelles makes it look reliable for some reason. No pun intended.

>>28 It looks like it would be slightly more difficult to aim for the nachelles most times and be a huge advantage in combat. Most Starfleet vessels look like you could just ramming speed engage straight for those goofy legged nacelles and come out unscathed after decapitating the other ship. No wonder they lost the Klingon war without help.

Nothing beats the Bird of Prey. >>35 Starfleet ships aren't designed to be warships. Besides, after the shields go down any ship is basically fucked.

>>44 > Starfleet ships aren't designed to be warships Well, akshually, picrel. Anyway, there's just so many goofy elements to a regular Starfleet ship that an actual dedicated combat hull looks like a lame duckling in comparison.

>>50 The Defiant will always be the most badass Federation combat design. Compact, aggressive, yet still elegant. And the cloak, of course.

>>50 The defiant is a cool ship design but it's very much of a new breed, never tried before. I really like the look of it. It's spartan but comfy. Multi-vector thing was basically an experiment that you never see again outside of that joke episode of voyager. One has to wonder, why not just make three starships? So while that was a dedicated warship, it was clearly just an experiment that never went anywhere. Akira is cool, probably my favorite federation ship. Reminds me of the nx-01 which I also really liked the design of. I wasn't aware it was a dedicated warship though.

>>54 Dedicated Borg combat vessel. Useless in the grand scheme of things because they'd adapt anyway but NX-01 was much cool. Akira was like it's 5 headed nerd cousin.

For me it will always be the Enterprise-D.

I love my brick even though its design shits all over the concept of "nacelles need to be visible from the front", though I also like the Luna-class and Nebula-class.
