Happy April Fool's Day. In reality I love all Starfleet ships equally. Except for the USS Equinox. That's a garbage ship for garbage people.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

Defiant class lives in my heart.
"Tough little ship."
Oberth class is pretty ugly too.
And how do you even get to engineering? Transporter?
Water slide.
That's not engineering down there, it's the science lab/a big fuck off sensor pod. Engineering is like the room behind the main bridge on the Oberth.
The warp core is immediately behind the bridge?
That sounds like a terrible design.
Shaxs would love it. Great access to the warp core ejection system.
What would you do in the bridge anyways?
Warp core unstable: open the door and talk to the engineer there.
Extra warp speed: open the door and tell the engineer to spice things up
Warp breach; open the door and tell everyone to eject the thing
Warp core down: open the door and tell them to get it running now, or get out and push.
See? No need to tap badges or anything. And all of it is communications blackout proof, crazy computer personality proof, engineers console re route and locked out proof, etc etc. It would allow ensign crusher to run the whole eng division, since 90% of TNG just can't happen anymore.
You're welcome.
I much prefer the original Constitution class. I also really love the Miranda Class.
Edit: Also, you are correct on the Nova class.
I can't say I'm in love with the NX-01 either.
I do love many of the post-TOS ships with their streamlined graceful curves, starting with when I first saw the 1701 refit on the big screen, but I grew up with TOS ships including the Star Fleet Battles and original technical manual, so I really love the old style scouts and tugs. I was overjoyed to get a brief glimpse at the Kelvin on screen.
Runabout too elite for such things as lists

Starbase 80 is not as bad as everyone says. They got the cable working again. Sorry, it's still down, my mistake.
Except for the USS Equinox. That's a garbage ship for garbage people.
That's a pretty sick name for a Malon ship. 🤔
Or for a Malon band.
Tfw no Defiant
Yeah, honestly the Defiant Class is fucking sexy as hell. I also have a strong love of the NX-01's austere, utilitarian form.
I mean it's a badass ship, but Enterprise D went through all kinds of absurd shit and always came out on the other side.
Except when they needed shock value for a movie...
Constitution Class refit gang, where we at?
Peak design for sure. That and the Miranda have something special going for them.
I also do like me some Ambassador class though.
NX-01 is great, but I’m Team Crossfield (pre-refit).
Oh, and Sovereign.
You’re right, there’s so many good ones!
Give me a Sovereign class or give me death
But if you leave out the stargazer then Picard is sad...
Give me Intrepid or give me death.
SSS - Cerritos
I don't get it, what are "S" and "F" tiers?
It’s poking fun at tier lists for game characters. A tier list is just a list of things given a letter grade where F is the worst grade and S is the top grade above A.
Thanks for the information but..
S is the top grade above A
why is S above A?
S stands for superb or superior. It comes from Japanese and UK class grading systems.
and UK class grading systems
Uh.. I'm British. There's no S here.
Thanks though.
So the source i read maybe was wrong about the origin. It still means superb or super and is above A rankings.
I always thought it originated from comic books where nerds would rank powers of various heroes and the S tier was named for Superman because he was in a tier of his own.
Nah, it comes from Japanese grading systems and was then introduced to the West via video games.
