No new ship tonight as I need to do the draw for the next round and sort that out.

We shall resume tomorrow

Man that clip is such an improvement on the original

Not sure what the runabouts were going to do though !

Other than that, much more impressive.

Nothing like a mish-mash of class types to make a fleet interesting.

Much better than hitting CTRL-C, CTRL-V a couple hundred times. Thanks to the interesting fleets we can enjoy games like this :)

The fan edit fleet is cool though.

Or effective. Different ships for different roles.

If it's the Rio Grande it will be the last ship standing

TheValeyard

Right before R2.

Turns out I did indeed forget one last battle for R1

The fact that myself and nobody else seemed to remember may mean that no one is too interested in either of these two.

Anyhow, here we go

Cheyenne class

VS

Vesta Class

TheValeyard

This is how things should hopefully proceed. I had to mix the original team 1 and team 2 as it seems most of team 1 got eliminated.

Edit: how do I increase picture size on this thing?

pixelburp

Cheyenne looks a bit funny with those top nacelles so has to be the Vesta by default.

Evade

Vesta. The Constellation is the only class that really pulls off four nacelles.

EDIT: Some tough match ups coming up in the next round.

Niska

Not a fan of either. Go with the Vesta at a stretch.

See here. Click on the image and you'll get a range of options, it's the second one you want

I think I was the one who dropped the Cheyenne into the conversation as I spotted it in a Wolf 359 scene.

I like it in this image, but from some angles it does look a bit ungainly.

But you gotta dance with the one who brung ya so... Cheyenne it is.

AMKC

I am going with the Cheyenne. I like it and have an Eaglemoss model of it in my sitting room just across from where I am sitting. That picture above really does the Cheyenne no favours. It's better looking than that. The nacelle bussard collectors are not round they are more rectangle with rounded corners and the black side parts at the front of the nacelles should be gold. The saucer in that picture is all wrong too. Just look up Eaglemoss ships and you will see how it should look.

I do not even know the other ship but think its the Enterprise F in STO am I right?

Its not bad but looks awkward from some angles I think.

"I do not even know the other ship but think its the Enterprise F in STO am I right?"

No, The USS Aventine (a vesta) is captained by Ezri Dax in a fair few books, the borg invasion ones, a couple of Ent E and Titan ones at least, I think it may have its own series but have not read. Vesta class is the first ship to be quantum slipstream capable. Ent F is Oddessy class, the 'fat sovereign', somewhere up thread

Vesta for me.

TheValeyard

The Vesta wins the day!

TheValeyard

Ladies and Gentleman and invited transgender species.

Round two!

Galaxy Class

VS

Steamrunner Class

Evade

I like the Steamrunner but it's no Galaxy class so Galaxy class.

AMKC

Oh that's so hard. Why does it have to be Federation v federation ship why can it not be a Klingon or Cardassian or Ferengi? Speaking of which I do not think any Ferengi ship was on this which is s pity as I always like the Ferengi Marauder class ship.

I am afraid the steamrunners time as come and gone it's the Galaxy class for me. How could you not love the legendary Galaxy class ship especially the Enterprise-D.

breezy1985

Steamrunner for me

Niska

Galaxy - she's a beaut, and the Steamrunner is pugly af.

Cookie_Monster

Steamrunner for me

pixelburp

I was on instinct going to say Galaxy... But no. You know what, I vote steamrunner. Not to be contrarian mind, but as already say I don't like the top heavy flamboyance of Galaxy; while the flying shovel look of steamrunner - and its name! - charms me more. So steamrunner it is.

odyssey06

Galaxy class

Big fan of steamrunner also but Galaxy is more eye catching.

Streamrunner for me here. (Sorry Ent-D 😣 )

Evade

Surprising result.
