Come on DJ! If you didn't win I'd be shocked. Hopefully they'd make the ship avaliable to Vice-Admirals.

I think DJ should submit the Century just to see how popular it is as a contender? :P

From my understanding, once it wins it becomes a Paramount/CBS and Cryptic property, that might not be something DJ would necessarily want. And would you really want to see the Century butchered like all of our favorite ships have already been? Because I'm sure they would want to slap stupid decals on it, as well as model variants of the class. Which would take away from the elegant design of the Century.

The Luna Class is owned by CBS/Pocket Books, but Sean (the designer) is still allowed to do with it what ever he wants with it, just check out his deviant art page.

But, I don't think that DJ should submit something hes already designed IMO. Besides, its not up to us :P he may not want to enter it.

ENT Era pack is out. Picture time

The last shot, those two grey beams coming out of me is a grappler, it is basically a weak tractor beam.

Edit:

I'm using the wrong devision colour ><

Oh yeah because I want to fly around in a 22nd century ship that could not even stand up to a B'rel class bird of prey, let alone any of the other 24th-25th century starships.

 It just doesn't make sense, A TMP Connie? Maybe. A TOS Connie? That's pushing it. But really? an NX class? and of course the ship is not canon strength, because if it were, it wouldn't last 5 minutes. I don't mean to put down the NX, but in this case, it's just not practical to pilot a ship that doesn't even have a fighting chance.

 And sure it's a novelty item, but how many Starfleet captains do you know that command their ships out of novelty? But then again this is WoW Trek, where everyone pimps out their ships, clothing, and so on, because Starfleet is so obsessed with fighting the Klingons they don't care how they present themselves to the rest of the galaxy.

 I'm sorry if this comes off as a rant, but sometimes you have to know when to say no. Next thing you know they will be releasing the Phoenix, and it will be as strong as a Nova Class Starship.

1. It's a video game, canon went out the door the moment it was an idea
2. It's a starter ship, useless after 10 levels

I can't claim it on more than one toon for some reason, which sucks because I rolled a new one just for it.

I found a in game explanation for the NX-Class (its from the C-Store description)

Quote
After Starfleet starships were converted to a modular design, a group from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers working at Utopia Planitia wondered if vessels from the Federation's past could be constructed in this manner. Working with Federation historian Geoffrey Pacelli, the SCE officers chose the famed NX Class for reconstruction. The NX Class Starship Replica sports the classic look of Earth's starships from the 22nd century, but has been updated with modern technology to meet current Starfleet specifications for Lieutenant-rank missions..
It carries a crew of 85, and in a nod to the technology of the 22nd Century the SCE has added a Grappler, which is less efficient than a tractor beam but can hold an enemy for a short time.

I was able to claim the NX on more than one character, but that's probably because I bought the pack. *grin* (To be clear: If you buy the Enterprise pack, make sure - when you go to claim it with another character - that you click the actual ship, not the pack again.)

And I gave in to the crowd craze...I went and bought the pack. *grin*

Question; who would like to see TMP era ship and ground weapons? (I.e. Pulsating phaser beams, redder Photons and hand weapons seen throughout the first six films, cosmetic only) Maybe have them limited to Miranda, Constitution and Excelsior (And Oberth when/if it comes out)

 Would just feel nice in my TWOK uniform, in an Excelsior pwning Klingons.  :P
