This is a bit tough. Vor'cha is my favourite Klingon design but the Sovereign is just cool and sleek.

Sov... Vo... Sover... Vor'cha final answer, unless I edit my post later.

Cookie_Monster · 11-08-2021 3:35am

Sovereign class

Skerries · 11-08-2021 6:56am

those long sleek lines, has to be the Sovereign class

it puts the E in sex-e

pixelburp · 11-08-2021 7:47am

Sovereign class, no contest. A gorgeous design, while the Vorcha just seems ... off somehow. Lacking that pizazz of other Klingon designs.

odyssey06 · 11-08-2021 7:54am

Tough one as I like both designs ... going to go with Vorcha class though if Sovereign gets through I may vote for it in future.

AMKC · 11-08-2021 9:25am

Oh that's a tough one. The Vorcha class is my favorite Klingon design of ship sure its not as iconic as a Bird of Prey but it just look class but I also love the Soverign class abs then it is a beautiful sleek design. Just what the Federation needed at that time so I am going to vote for the um the Soverign yep the Sovereign class.

breezy1985 · 11-08-2021 11:04am

I like the Vorcha but the E is an amazing looking ship. I know I criticised the newer sleek aerodynamic ships earlier but this really is the exception. It looks to me like an updated Excelsior in all the right ways

Niska · 11-08-2021 12:48pm

Tough one, really like both, but gotta go with the Sovereign.

Rawr · 11-08-2021 1:42pm

Ah...Sovereign Class. It felt like a truly updated ship in the mould of the classic Enterprise, but with the added menace of a ship born into a Galaxy at war.

I think the "off" bit is the Vorcha's "nose". She's still a good looking ship, it's just that Klingon vessels tended to have a rounded forward section with a very clear torpedo tube on it (D7, K'tinga and Bird of Prey all had this). The designs always seemed to screem "this bit here is for killing you". Vorcha's pointy bits didn't have that same effect I felt.

TheValeyard · 11-08-2021 7:11pm

The Sovereign wins.

TheValeyard · 11-08-2021 7:14pm

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

We shall resume tomorrow

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 :)

Or effective. Different ships for different roles.

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

TheValeyard · 12-08-2021 1:24pm

Right before R2.

https://giphy.com/gifs/JudgeJerryTV-gavel-judge-jerry-order-in-the-court-hULtfao6aYeGSDlbnI

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 · 12-08-2021 1:35pm

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 · 12-08-2021 1:37pm

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

Evade · 12-08-2021 1:47pm

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 · 12-08-2021 2:07pm

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

odyssey06 · 12-08-2021 2:13pm

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 · 12-08-2021 10:20pm

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.

Cookie_Monster · 13-08-2021 1:09am

"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 · 13-08-2021 10:00pm

The Vesta wins the day!

TheValeyard · 13-08-2021 10:16pm

Ladies and Gentleman and invited transgender species.

Round two!

Galaxy Class

VS

Steamrunner Class

Evade · 13-08-2021 10:32pm

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

AMKC · 13-08-2021 10:42pm

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 · 13-08-2021 10:57pm

Steamrunner for me

Niska · 13-08-2021 11:37pm

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

Cookie_Monster · 14-08-2021 3:39am

Steamrunner for me

pixelburp · 14-08-2021 6:41am

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 · 14-08-2021 11:09am

Galaxy class

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

Evade · 15-08-2021 8:59am

Surprising result.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117756550#Comment_117756550

We need one more forum regular to vote. Who hasn't? Time for a PM 🤪

AMKC · 15-08-2021 11:15am

Oh I dreamt that this would happen. This is like Dublin v Mayo yesterday lol. Except we can not let Enterprise be defeated by a small less powerful less loved craft a ship that we barely know against one that generations of Star Trek fans love. Surely the Enterprise aka the Galaxy class should win or should I say the Galaxy class also known by most fans as the Enterprise-D should win.

pixelburp · 15-08-2021 11:19am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117756813#Comment_117756813

Wait, which ship's Dublin in this scenario? 😜

TheValeyard · 15-08-2021 11:24am

Im driving back to Dublin shortly. I'll leave this open until home. Then if no more votes, I'll role a dice on it.

2,4,6 Galaxy

1,3,5 Steamrunner

Until then, votes and shenanigans are welcome.

AMKC · 15-08-2021 12:34pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117756825#Comment_117756825

Well seen as the Enterprise is basically a city in space I suppose it would have to be Dublin lol.

pixelburp · 15-08-2021 1:50pm

I'll be honest. I was halfway to creating a new account to vote for the SteamRunner when I realised I hadn't a spare email address - so foiled at the first step. Laziness 😁

TheValeyard · 15-08-2021 3:43pm

Home now, trying to find a dice!

odyssey06 · 15-08-2021 3:50pm

By virtue of the Enterprise D legendary status, Galaxy class get a reroll if it loses right?

Evade · 15-08-2021 3:50pm

You can google "roll 1d6"
