Starship shootout!
« on: August 07, 2010, 09:12:30 PM »




I know we have some old school fans on this board, time to see just how many! Let battle commence!
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Just a simple field test. There was some grumbling about 'too many Connies,', so I wanted to see if Connies ARE what the people want.

I figured if I post one pic of a Sov & one of a Connie, then people will start arguing over which is better-looking, and by extension which century is better, 23rd or 24th...

Kind of a stupid post, but I could't think of anyting better to do, it's a few days until my vacation...

An argument is one thing I'd like to avoid... We all have our fav ships no need to argue about it...
(though arguments are known to pop up now and then... can't always stop them.)

I was searching for a video I saw once of all the captains duking it out, but I found this instead.  The graphics are amazing to say the least.

I'm a Galaxy class fan myself, or at least that's what my renders have featured a lot lately.

My favorite canon ship would have to be the Sov.  The earliest Trek I remember was First Contact.  I was four when that came out, fond memories.

However, my favorite ship in Trek canon or non-canon would have to be DJ Curtis's Enterprise F.  Love at first sight with her, graceful curves, beautiful and big deflector, and keeps all the sleekness of the Sovereign while giving a throwback to the D's curves. :drink:

canon: Constellation class. :D (didn't see that one coming, eh?) It's followed closely by Excelsior refit (Ent-B, Lakota etc)
non-canon: Coeur de Lion, Yamamoto battleship, Galaxy X.

Will go on forever.

Constellation class? Interesting. I've always hated that one.

why? is it because it could spank galaxy in a simulated battle? or because it was yet another TMP vessel that survived through dominion war?

Nothing against the ship, I just thought the design looked so stupid with the sets of nacelles at different heights in relation to the saucer.
