Best Looking Ship Game

Evade · 04-08-2021 10:10am

Valdore, the last good Romulan Romulan design. I was never fond of the colour of the Vulcan ships in Enterprise. The idea that they were different was good but the colour itself is meh.

TheValeyard · 04-08-2021 10:49pm

Think this is our closest vote yet 😮

TheValeyard · 04-08-2021 10:51pm

The Valdore, just wins the day

TheValeyard · 04-08-2021 10:55pm

Here we go...........

Intrepid Class

VS

Oberth Class

Evade · 04-08-2021 11:04pm

Uhh, is this even a choice? Intrepid class. I'm sure the Oberth's friends would describe her as "lovely."

Rawr · 04-08-2021 11:42pm

You know what, I'm going with the funky Space Canoe. Oberth Class. Sure, the ships are made of Explodium, and they only have one phaser array (and nothing else), but there's something about the design that seemed perfect for what it was.

breezy1985 · 05-08-2021 1:05am

Oberth its ugly is a crazy fun way.

Voyager is just ugly

Cookie_Monster · 05-08-2021 1:36am

Oberth.

Voyager ruined the Intrepis class, like it ruined most things so its out by default :pac:

pixelburp · 05-08-2021 8:11am

Oberth here too. It's handsome in an ugly way, and speaks to its purpose more than the big ambassadorial ships.

Niska · 05-08-2021 9:11am

Oberth - not it's biggest fan but could never get past the flying teaspoon look of the Intrepid.

AMKC · 05-08-2021 4:20pm

I am glad to see such much love for the Oberth as I always liked it too and really thought this would be a walkover for the Intrepid class but it's up against the Intrepid class that we got to know and love on Voyager so for me it's the Intrepid class with its bio nurel gel packs and it's verible velocity warp nacelles plus it's warp 9.96 speed and its unique technology.

TheValeyard · 05-08-2021 11:25pm

The Oberth wins, with its one phaser bank.

Voyager and the Intrepid class are the first hero ship to be defeated!

TheValeyard · 05-08-2021 11:30pm

Next Round

Kelvin Constitution

VS

Klingon D7 class

breezy1985 · 05-08-2021 11:41pm

D7 over that other mess any day.

Kelvinprise is what happens in a movie when someone makes a copy of a copy of a copy

AMKC · 06-08-2021 12:02am

Ha lol I can not believe the Oberth class won lol.

Anyway for the next round it's the Klingon D7 for me. A classic and much nicer than the mess that is the the Kelvinprise.

Evade · 06-08-2021 12:09am

D7. Not that it's particularly nice looking but Kelvin Enterprise embodies the worst aspects of modern (over-)design, everything is angles and touches with no purpose behind it so it's a jumbled mess.

EDIT: Which episode of STD had the D7?

EDIT: Which episode of STD had the D7?

I think it was the one where the Klingons were going to attack Discovery at some planet.

I vaguely remember it but Discovery could not jump for some reason I think.

TheValeyard · 06-08-2021 12:37am

The D7 were in the S2 finale to help Discovery and Enterprise fight Control

Cookie_Monster · 06-08-2021 5:26am

D7. Not that Kelvinverse mess. Though it would get my vote for best on board brewery.

pixelburp · 06-08-2021 8:11am

I nominated the Kelvin ship but has to be the d7 for me. Very iconic design, even if it lacks the aforementioned personality of the Bird of Prey. I like the stylish redesign of the constitution, added a touch of swagger to the design, but wouldn't stick my neck out for it either

Niska · 06-08-2021 9:19am

Klingon D7 Battlecuiser. Beautiful shape, and a great flyby in the opening scene from TMP. What's not to love?

Rawr · 06-08-2021 10:53am

D7. Loved that TMP opening :)

First time we hear the Klingon theme tune too

pixelburp · 06-08-2021 4:13pm

Pedantry at its finest but I question titling that video a "battle" in any sense of the word implying something two sided 😋

Evade · 06-08-2021 4:56pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117716205#Comment_117716205

As much a battle as the Battle of Wolf 359.

TheValeyard · 06-08-2021 10:52pm

D7 has a convincing win

TheValeyard · 06-08-2021 10:59pm

Peregrine class

VS

Tholian Orb Weaver

breezy1985 · 06-08-2021 11:20pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117717911#Comment_117717911

Orb weaver ? Was it not the Web Spinner

Maquis raider gets my vote. Always had a soft spot for them despite their slightly mad motivation

TheValeyard · 06-08-2021 11:41pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117718007#Comment_117718007

You could be right, ive may have been playing Star Trek Online too long. Ill change it if needs be.

Evade · 06-08-2021 11:53pm

Peregrine Class. Proper small fighters in Star Trek, it's supposed to be a little bit smaller than an F-22. It'll always be funny that the Maquis retrofitted a, presumably, almost obsolete Federation ship class into an effective fighter.

pixelburp · 07-08-2021 4:09am

Peregrine? Fool of a Took!

Tholian for my vote. Neither a great design but there's a bit more going on with the Tholian

Rawr · 07-08-2021 8:23am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117718169#Comment_117718169

..and then later Starfleet go: "Erm...yea, these are fighters. That was totally our plan from day one...ehh...lets build loads for the Dominion War"

So I'm going Peregrine too :)

AMKC · 07-08-2021 9:36am

Tholian ship gets the vote from me. Nothing special about the peregrine class ship.

TheValeyard · 07-08-2021 11:53pm

Peregrine wins the day

Hope you dont mind but I'm currently out tonight and having a few drinks, so I'll upload the next round tomorrow!!

Evade · 08-08-2021 9:19am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117722055#Comment_117722055

That's the bigger Maquis Raider ship not a Peregrine.

Banned :P

I found that gif after a second bottle of wine. I think I did alright. Lol.

But you are correct.

TheValeyard · 08-08-2021 9:57pm

Next Up.

Nova Class

VS

Galaxy Class

https://m.imgur.com/SUa1RNp

I will leave this up until 10pm tomorrow

odyssey06 · 08-08-2021 10:16pm

Galaxy class.

Evade · 08-08-2021 10:30pm

Nova's not bad but is there any contest? Galaxy class.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117725552#Comment_117725552

After that much wine I'd probably have posted a peregrine falcon.

breezy1985 · 08-08-2021 10:53pm

That's a real tough one. Nova is one of my favourites of the late Berman era and would easily beat most of the ships seen here so far but it got a bad draw against the Galaxy class.

Galaxy it is. Even though it is smooth it's not sleek or aerodynamic which makes it look more spacey and futuristic

Cookie_Monster · 09-08-2021 1:10am

Nova

Rawr · 09-08-2021 7:28am

Arg...a choice between a ship that I love regardless of how she looks...and a design I really like....

It's got to be the Galaxy. Her design was a perfect way to say: "You know that Future world you like to watch? Well....here's the Future-Future World!"

pixelburp · 09-08-2021 8:11am

I'm not that mad into the Galaxy design itself, it's too front heavy with the giant saucer... ... but even as a TNG grump it's impossible not to see how iconic the design is anyway. So Galaxy it is

Niska · 09-08-2021 9:01am

Galaxy. Love the Enterprise-D. Can never forgive them awful, amateurish, stupid way they killed her off.

AMKC · 09-08-2021 10:09am

Feck that's a hard one. I love both. Any chance you could do this draw again lol.

It is the Galaxy class for me. It was my first love in Star Trek. I practically grew up watching that ship and her crew so ye Galaxy Class for me.

TheValeyard · 10-08-2021 9:49am

Galaxy Class wins!!

I'll post final R1 tonight!

AMKC · 10-08-2021 11:17am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117731862#Comment_117731862

That's normally called a Quarter final or a semi final lol. So will there be a Quarter final and then semis then a final or will its just be a semi and then a final?

Evade · 10-08-2021 12:23pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117732281#Comment_117732281

After tonight we will have narrowed the list down from 32 to 16 ships. Those 16 will go head to head across another 8 rounds. Those 8 winners will be narrowed down to 4 in another 4 rounds, this is the the quarter finals. Then 4 ships in the semi final and 2 in the final.

We're only about half way through all the voting at this stage.

EDIT: That's not a very clear explanation. In this image we're still at the bottom of the left most column.
