Favourite Canon Star Trek Ship

[La Patience]

Hee just wanted to know what every ones fav ship class in Star Trek was hee:

Mine is the Miranda class ship because of how long it has been in service in the federation and even though its not the most powerful hee it looks realy good heh.

I thank all those who reply in advance. 8-)

( it does not have to be a federation ship heh it can be anyone )

[Cylon]

Ive always had a soft spot fir the akira not sure why

[Tholian_Storm]

I'm actually in a three-way tie for Favorite Trek Ship, but I'll list 'em anyway.

Constitution Refit - I liked the original Matt Jefferies design, but the Refit slipped in and stole the top contender slot for favorite Federation Starship. Following close behind this class would be: Steamrunner-class, NX-class, and Intrepid-class

D'deridex Warbird - Romulans being my favorite Trek Race (contrary to what my username says), this is an easy choice. On SFC3 (prior to the Steamrunner MOD), all I would play would be the Romulans and I'd save up prestige for the day I could acquire the Pride of the Romulan Empire. Cloaking Technology, Massive Size, and purty purty green Hull mark this as my preeminent Romulan Design. Following close behind this class would be: Romulan Warbird (TOS), Romulan Shadow (A2)

Tholian "Web" Ship - From our first glimpse of these starships in TOS: 'The Tholian Web' to their return in Enterprise, the Tholians have always fascinated me. I'm unsure what the exact class of the Tholian 'Web' Ship is called, but I've always been told it was 'Ruby'. Ah well.

That's my favorites.

[Dan1025]

hmm, there have been many great ships in star trek, but my favourite would have to be the Borg Sphere.

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Federation: Any unconventional design. Nebula, Prometheus, constellation, "Dauntless"

Klingon: BOP

Romulan: the new warbird from Nemesis

Borg: Tatical cube

Just to name a few.

[Wheller]

Umm, thats a Toughy.

Federation: three way tie between The Galaxy, Ambassador, and New Orleans
Klingon: D-7
Romulan:... i like all Romulan Ships.
Borg: Cube, :D
Cardassian: Galor.


Well thats about it.

[Lord_Trekie]

Galaxy Refit (Not the three nacelled one) and the Borg Tactical Cube. :p

[Amateur]

Akira Class - since the first time I saw it I've always thought that it looked good.

For all the other races, the Vor'cha.

[Majestic]

I always loved the Constitution class both the TOS and Refit versions. I also liked the Excelsior class though not the Ent-B type. I also love the D7/K'Tinga class, gotta love the TOS/TMP Klingons they had spirit unlike the TNG ones.

[Borg_Queen]

Alright, my turn. :D

Starfleet: Sovereign (check sig. :wink: ).
Borg: Tactical Cube, Cube.
Klingon: K'Vort class Bird of Prey.
Romulan: D'derix, Norexean/Valdore.
Reman: Scimitar (ok, so we have only seen one so far :yum: ).

That's all I can think of now. :D

[Dan1025]

Since I only posted one in my first post:

Cardassian: Hedeki
Federation: Prometheus (check sig :))
Romulan: D'Deridex
Klingon: Vor'Cha
Dominion: Bug/Attack ship

[Atlantis]

StarFleet's Excelsior has to be my favourite (back in the old days when it was new, or the modern refit as seen on USS Lakota)

Followed quickly by the Romulan D'Deridex and Jem'Hadar Attack ship =D

[Paul]

Fed : Prometheus ( So much firepower :drool: )
Klin : Negh'var ( Again such a strong ship )
Rom : Norexean ( Small but still strong )

[La Patience]

Well since you have all listed your fav from all races ill do to hee.

Cardassians ( my fav race for some reason ) um the Galor class
Romulan: Norexean
Federation: Miranda ( as stated already )
Klingon: K'Vort
Borg: Sphere

Thats all realy. I dont like the dominion so i didnt put anything for them or the breen hee well anywho thank you all for sharing your views. 8-)

[CrazyFrog1903]

I would have to say the Sovereign class. It just seems the most complete to me. Also, it seems to be the one that can withstand in a fight the most. Before it I always liked the Defiant class. Something about the pulse cannons that it has. I would be happy to command either. A defiant class would be nice. Ofcourse, I have always had a thing for lots of guns and ships that can not only give a good fight but take one as well. So, I guess it would be a toss up between the two. The deciding factor would be how many crew I get. LOL.

[La Patience]

Hee Id prefere the defiant but thats because i've seen more of it being a huge DS9 fan LOL plus it6 could ring circles around the Sovereign class hee.
:lol2:

[CrazyFrog1903]

Think that is why they are even in my eyes. It would depend on the mission they were needed for. I know the Kazon would have been no match for a defiant class....LOL

[La Patience]

LOL the Kazon are no match for holographic Talaxian ships hee :p

[Kosh Naranek]

In my honest opinion, the Wells class is a beautiful work of art. I just loved the way the hull changes color depending on viewing angle.

As I'm in a rush, I'll post more about individual race favorites later, when I get a chance.

[Lord_Trekie]

Hee Id prefere the defiant but thats because i've seen more of it being a huge DS9 fan LOL plus it6 could ring circles around the Sovereign class hee.
:lol2:
:lol2: Run rings around it and still get blown to bits by the Sov's type XII Phaser Arrays, kinda hard to dodge a weapon that moves very very close to lightspeed... :D

For the Cardies I like the Hutet, Klingons is the Vor'cha, and Romulans favorite is the Norexan (Mogai). No other races really have anything I like...

[Creed]

got to be the bird of prey... nothing ever came really close... apart from maybe the Scimitar

[SquireJames]

The Class of ship that the webspinners in "The Tholian Web" belonged to was the Feldspar Class. The Ruby is much bigger, although similar (more curved) in shape. Both names are totally un-canon though.

Mine would be the Romulan D7. Although we didn't get too good a look at it, if it has the same hull colouring and such as the Romulan BoP then shes definately my fave canon ship.

Btw, I'll make my minirant here. For all those who are unsure, the correct spelling is canon, as in the classical piece Canon in D Minor. It originally refered (and still does) as to what is considered the "truth" by the Catholic Church. Doesn't exactly change a lot but, for example they have stopped trying to burn witches and declare that the world is flat :)

Cannon however, is an entirely different thing ;) (i.e large bore unrifled chemical projectile weapon)

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
As like many of you, I could name favourite ships per race, but my greatest favourites are the Constitution class (all of them) and the Nebula Class, the Nebby just rocks and it is as useful and versatil as it's larger sibling the Galaxy :thumbsup:

[adm_stacks]

Fed: Alternate "warship" voyager
Klingon: B'rel
Romulan: D'deridex
Cardassian: dreadnought
borg: any and all [can't go wrong with a simple shape]

[Knight]

The Defiant, hands down. Prometheus is a close second lol :lol:

[Majestic]

Absolute favourite is the Conny. I'm an old school Trekker.

[Aerilon]

I have always been a fan of the Excelsior Class, though I too, like the Galaxy and Nebula, along with various other Federation ships.

If I had to though, I think the Exceslior would get my vote.

[StarBlade]

Ambassador class. Just such a properly Starfleet ship. :D

[Borg_Queen]

:lol2: Run rings around it and still get blown to bits by the Sov's type XII Phaser Arrays, kinda hard to dodge a weapon that moves very very close to lightspeed... :D

For the Cardies I like the Hutet, Klingons is the Vor'cha, and Romulans favorite is the Norexan (Mogai). No other races really have anything I like...

So true about the Defiant and the Sovereign. :lol: :wink:

By the way, the Hutet is not canon. And this is a thread about what is your favorite canon Star Trek ship. :wink: The other ships are canon, though. :)

[Creed]

all of this said the 'starsailer' ancient bajoran craft from DS9 definitely had something very special which 'mora advanced ships' are missing out on.

I suppose much int he same way modern ships will never really be as aesthetic to my mind as the tall sailers.

[adm_stacks]

But would WANT to live on a tall ship from times past, or in the modern worlds ships.

[Creed]

would I want to?? I have.

her name was the RSS Huntley (schooner rigged crew of 11)and she was a replica of the rather famous HMS pickle , fought at trafalgar and rescued several folks from the after... including a naked noblewoman and a motely clad jester...

Many thousands of folk every year take to the seas on similar vessels, some for military training (because even the navy thinks there is something to be gained from the understandings of wind wave and teamwork that a sail ship provides) and some for simple pleasure (monster-hotel-come cruise liner or tall sailing ship... not a difficult chocie)

I'm not saying that they would be anywhere near as fun when the high velocity rounds started flying, but how many round the world motor boat races do you know about?? and can you really tell me it would capture anyone's imagination to the same extent?

if you meant on a tall sailer under the historical conditions, then that is anothr question altogether and it might be worth pointing out that for the time period conditions on lots of those ships were better than the equivalent person could recive on land (most of the C19 naval Tars were volunteers by quite a margin.. but i guess the alcoholic equivalent of two bottles of modern white rum a day, on top of the beer, sort of helped.)

[Muad'Dib]

Constitution Refit, love everything about TMP and Wrath of Khan.

A close second would be the Sovereign, first TNG era Starfleet ship that looked like an actual military ship and not a luxury liner.

[Jetfreak]

There's a top 3 list for me:

1st place: Intrepid Class (sleek, elegant looking and fast)
2nd place: Galaxy Class (fed explorer and another cool design)
3rd place: Constitution Class Refit: (instant classic -nuff said)

[VenerableDread]

The Reman Scimitar. A ship with so much of that awesome firepower can make anyone soil their pants! Pew, pew, pew!

:lol::lol2::lol:

[Borg_Queen]

The Reman Scimitar. A ship with so much of that awesome firepower can make anyone soil their pants! Pew, pew, pew!

:lol::lol2::lol:

Almost anyone. :lol: I know someone that won't be afraid of the Scimitar at all. :wink:

[Hellkite]

AKIRA CLASS

it is my Favorite class of starship

[Creed]

the borg assimilate the scimitar....

heck THAT could have some scary consequences...

[VenerableDread]

Well, a ship like the Scimitar could be probably very hard to assimilate, so... :lol:

But yes, an assimilated Scimitar could be a very scary thought, especially if the Borg get their cybernetic hands on all that Theleron radiation! :shock:

[DarkPhoenix]

Federation: Galaxy-X class, Constitution refit (tie)
Cardassian: Keldon class
Romulan (my favorite): D'deridex
Klingon: K'tinga
Dominion: bug fighters

[EAS_Intrepid]

As with Babylon 5, I like the Starfleet Nova class :lol: (What a difference is scale and function these two classes have...)

Small, endurable and built for what Starfleet is meant to be: exploration!
You know, the B5 one is a sledge hammer :D

[WrathofSpanky]

D-7. You gotta love a classic. It has such a predatory look to it.

[Lord_Trekie]

lol, I like the way you think Intrepid. :D

[Aerilon]

I shall always be a fan of the Excelsior Class. It shares the same unique design that started trek, from the TOS Enterprise, through to the Ent-A Constitution Refit. It goes without saying, that the Excelsior will always be a favourite of mine.

In addition to that though, I also like the Galaxy, Sabre, and Akira. All for very different reasons.

In regard to other races, the Klingon Vor'cha is going to be one of the top dogs, as is the Bird of Prey. These ships are a legend in their own right.

Can't say I'm a fan of the Intrepid or Sovereign though. They do look ok, but they don't really do it for me.

[VieVentar]

Out of the entire range of ships available... ..the Ambassador class.

Not sure why, but its design seems fundamentally right to me.
Plus the fact that we rarely saw it in canon helped there, made it a little exotic.



If I'm allowed to go with non canon, I'd be a shameless self publicist and support the Huitzilin (Hummingbird) class. Think intrepid, now think of it being stretched out and reduced to 10-15 decks, but with the extra length compensating for the loss of decks by making the existing ones longer. Long nacelles, double curved into a classic 1930's Tear-drop rear wheel cover form (Think Talbot T150 SS Tear-drop coupe).

Designed it as a post TNG ship intended to be a high speed courier, designed to take personnel or equipment across sectors at high speed, handing them over to a more multi-purpose vessel or outpost, then serving as a science cruiser between these duties. But, canon only so I cant. Nevermind.

[Borg_Queen]

There are a thread for favorite non-canon ships here, too. :wink:

Here's the link to that thread: Favourite Star Trek Non-Canon Ship - Majestic Sci-Fi Central (http://www.majesticscificentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1817)

[Hellsgate]

I'd say the Sovereign-Class, with the Defiant-Class and Intrepid-Class close behind.

Creed I agree with you there. Being an Ex-Naval Sailor I can say this for a fact the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) Is still Commissioned and is Considered Cream of the Crop Orders, if I was to get orders to a Boat I would want it to be her. and as Picard said "Wind in your hair the stars to guide you..."


Now for the assimilation of the Scimitar well the Borg would have to be fast because one shot from that Theleron Weapon would Stop even the largest Borg Cube in its Tracks with in a Minute.

As for my Fav ship:

Feds: Nova, good little ship.
Cards: Keldon (Obsidian Order Version.)

[Borg_Queen]

Now for the assimilation of the Scimitar well the Borg would have to be fast because one shot from that Theleron Weapon would Stop even the largest Borg Cube in its Tracks with in a Minute.


The Borg can easily neutralize the Thalaron weapon before its 7 minutes loading sequence is complete. Yes, Nemesis stated it takes 7 minutes for that weapon to load. :wink:

Oh yeah, another thing; Starfox, this thread is for canon ships. :)

[thunderfoot]

My favorite Canon Star Trek ship? I have two of them and you're going to make me choose? I choose...

Klingon D-7 Battlecrusier

All you Federation grass eaters out there can keep all those fancy-schmantzy Starfleet ships. I'd rather ship aboard an honest warship than a "science and exploration" vessel. Which mounts weapons. For the Empire! For Kahless!

[Ryderstorm]

My personal favorite is the defiant class. That ship to me looks bread for war more so than any other ship in trek to me. Death does indeed come im small packages. Then a close 2nd is the k'tinga...for me at least.

[Majestic]

We are a like Thunderfoot. :thumbsup:


I always loved the Constitution class both the TOS and Refit versions. I also liked the Excelsior class though not the Ent-B type. I also love the D7/K'Tinga class, gotta love the TOS/TMP Klingons they had spirit unlike the TNG ones.

[Adm_Z]

Mine is the steamrunner. Always struck me as an interesting design not used on any other ship:)

[Terra_Inc]

If this was the "Favourite Canon StarFleet Ship" Thread, I'd have to think a long time about it. There are three of them I really like, the Steamrunner, Akira and Galaxy.

However it's not just StarFleet, which makes things a lot easier. I say: D'deridex! With the Galor being a close second. But if I had the choice, I'd take the D'deridex. 8-)

[SciFiFan]

Favorite cannon Star Trek ship?

Fed: Miranda. Loved since the first time I saw TWOK.
Kingon: BOP.
Romulan: D'deridex
Other race: Xindi Aquatic ship.

[Nalthren]

Starfleet: Prometheus, NX, Sovereign, Defiant
Klingon: K'vort, Vorcha, K'tinga
Romulan: Norexean/Valdore
Cardassian: Keldon
Borg: Cube
Dominion: Super Cruiser

[Terra_Inc]

Dominion: Super Cruiser
Which one do you mean? The Dreadnought? The Warship?

[Jetfreak]

Top Faves

UFP:
Intrepid (Very Agile and Adaptable. The design rocks too)
Constitution Refit (This thing is a classic and very photogenic.)
JJPrise (Seriously developing a soft spot for the hot rod 8-))
Sovereign (The epitome of a modern TNG design.)

Klingon Empire:
Negh'Var (Nothing says Klinker power projection better.)

Romulan:
D'Deridex (Awesome ship to behold.)

[Nalthren]

Which one do you mean? The Dreadnought? The Warship?

The Dreadnaught from Valiant. Sorry

[Terra_Inc]

The Dreadnaught from Valiant. Sorry
Well, great! I love it, too. Although I think that all of the Dominion designs are good. The DS9 people obviously had a great designer.

Oooh... no love for the poor Galaxy? :cry:

[Majestic]

Well, great! I love it, too. Although I think that all of the Dominion designs are good. The DS9 people obviously had a great designer.

I really loved the Bug designs, like the Attack cruiser. They are my favourite TNG era race and One day I'll get back to doing a complete full race comparable to the Cardassian one I am doing. I have to, they are my favourite race.



Oooh... no love for the poor Galaxy? :cry:

I love the Galaxy class, more so than the Sovereign class at times. I see The Galaxy being like the Excelsior, the workhorse of the fleet that will still be in commission and perhaps production still in the 2460's. :thumbsup:

[Jetfreak]

Oooh... no love for the poor Galaxy?

It's certainly one of the greats but I had to narrow my list down and sad to say she didn't quite cut it.

...but since I only chose four on my list, she's favorite #5 then. :wink:

Also, in regards to shuttles, the Delta Flyer, Type 9 and Venture Class takes the top three spots.

[dinosaurJR]

Favourite CANNON ship...

My top three...

Number 1:

The Original Constitution Class. Without doubt - it has lovely clean lines, and for me (and probably many others) it is the very symbol of Trekdom...

Number 2:

The D'deridex Class. I just love this design - the massive scale of it. I love the bird concept too.

Number 3.

The Dominion Bug. A very cool design - it kinda created an identity for the dominion, what, with the purple glows and the distinctive shape and all...

Yep - my top three... Connie wins though...

[Majestic]

Number 3.

The Dominion Bug. A very cool design - it kinda created an identity for the dominion, what, with the purple glows and the distinctive shape and all...

Yep - my top three... Connie wins though...

Did you know? The first Bug seen in the episode Jem'Hadar actually had blue glows not purple it was in fact in following episodes that the blue was replaced with purple. A step in the right direction if you ask me. :thumbsup:

[Marky]

Oberth class, Constitution class and Sovereign class :)
I love all the other ships too, but those three are the ones that I like the most. I can't decide which one I like the most of them dough :p Finding a favourite is hard, and may change in the future :)

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Favorite Star Trek ship?

Galaxy-Class. Hands-down. TNG was the first Star Trek series I watched before being introduced to the others. I find this a bit funny since Generations aired the year I was born, meaning TNG as a series was over and DS9 was well underway.

Back to the point at hand, the Galaxy-Class is my favorite ship for a variety of reasons, other than being the first ship I saw.

A. She represents the objectives of the UFP as a whole. Many space-faring aliens working together on the undending quest for knowledge. At the same time, they were a powerful military force that would not sit around when facing danger.
The Galaxy was a perfect representation of that. She was equipped with state-of-the-art scientific technologies, had enough firepower to hold her own (given the proper circumstances), and she was built with the intent of having families on board her, to give it a sort of 'city-ship' kind of feel.
B. She was named Enterprise. That's seriously one of the biggest reasons I love the Galaxy-Class, since the one we were introduced to was the Enterprise herself, pride of the Federation. It's also most likely the reason why I was quick to accept the Sovereign-Class Enterprise-E, despite my feelings about replacing the Big D
There be mah stury, an' I'ma stickin' to eet :zipped

[K_merse]

Favorite canon ships?
1. Excelsior (especially Enterprise-B refit)
She was way ahead of her age when she was developed, she was superior to anything the Federation ever encountered before and she has the nice clear lines of the older style ships.
2. Luna (It IS canon!)
On the contrarsy to the Excelsior, a very new-like ship with an unique narcelle configuration and a special sensor platform. She's just gorgerous. I like especially that the Luna was designed to an exploration vessel, so she's only capable to defend herself, but not strong enough to play a tactical role in battles.
3. Miranda
The most multi-functional ship in Starfleet (Surya, Miranda, Soyuz, Majestic, Saratoga, Knox, Daran, Lantree, Renegade, Ptolemy - differend (sub)classes based on the same frame!), which served almost as long as the Excelsior did.
4. Akira
The first ship directly designed for combat. HEr torpedo launchers make her able to destroy the enemy with torpedoes from any angles. And she looks beautiful.

[USS_Excalibur]

1. Galaxy-X.
2. Excelsior Lakota Refit.
3. Defiant (The original... not the ****py clone)
4. Reman Warbird (Scimitar Type)
5. Cardassian Keldon
6. Galaxy Refit

(Funfact... the Akula Class is the most widely accepted ship that is not canon.)

[Tyler]

My favourite is easily the Galaxy Class, Venture-varient.

Followed by the Sovereign, Akira, Niagara, Freedom & Cheyenne Classes.

[Undying_Nephalim]

1. Breen Warship
2. Excelsior
3. Sheliak Raider
4. Constitution Refit (particularly the Motion Picture version)
5. Talarian Warship

[USS_Excalibur]

.. Niagara...
I do not remember the Niagara being Canon. Where was it shown?

[thunderfoot]

Battle of Wolf359. Niagara was there. Only appearance, I believe. But since she was seen on film, she is canon by the normally accepted standards.

[Terra_Inc]

Battle of Wolf359. Niagara was there. Only appearance, I believe. But since she was seen on film, she is canon by the normally accepted standards.
Yup, she's canon. There's an article over at EAS about all of the 359 ships. :thumbsup: You can clearly identify her on the pictures there.

[K_merse]

NIagara is canon. Alongside the Cheyenne, the Springfield, the Challenger, the Excelsior prototypes and many other ships.

Oh and among non-Federation ships, the Norexan (Valdore) Class rules!

[Eisenhower]

Nearly all Romulan/Reman Designs are awesome to me! the defiant, sovereign and Excelsior are probably my favorite Starfleet designs.
