I voted the Galaxy, as it was called once "The Hilton in Space" (or some other hotel name)- but if I had any pick out of any fleet I'd say D'Deridex.

OMG Reg, that was hilarious.

And despite how much I may love this class (totally different species), I kinda feel for the Klingons and their K't'inga class battlecruisers. I mean, imagine some giant omnipotent being putting a halt to an advancing K't'inga, lifting the topside of the boom section, and sitting down to read the morning paper. Those poor poor Klingons.. Then again, one can guess as to what phasers and toilet paper have in common.

Well, as a Fan of All Things Klingon, I prefer the K'Vort-class Bird-of-Prey cruiser.

Other - Prometheus Class

Message in a Bottle would have to be my favourite Voyager Episode. And the Prometheus Class would have to be by far the most advanced ship in the fleet.

Any other ship would be second best

Oh, you mean like the crew of the U.S.S. Equinox? Personally I don't think I'd like being quite *that* far from the front lines...

Sorry, I think I'll take my chances on a Sovereign class ship. It may put me on the front lines, but since I'll undoubtedly get in trouble anyway - call me paranoid - I'll take all the Quantum Torpedoes I can. Besides, with so few Sovereigns around my chances will be good to end up on a ship with a very famous captain and crew, and which is therefore protected from any form of destruction by the hero clause and bad plot writing... (now for avoiding the dreaded Crewman number Six position...)

On second thought I might choose the Achilles class ship from the Dominion Wars computer game, but then it wasn't on the list... Yes, I know the game is crap, but the ship is so cool!

It is cool isn't it. I just love that Ramming Deflector idea and the Phalanx Micro-torpedo launchers.

Both Snake Pliskin came up with the CODA stats for it recently (and I created the Jem'Hadar Super Carrier and Cardassian Hutet from the same game). Sadly the the Phalanx torpedo array doesn't translate over into the new Coda Starship combat rules.

If you've not already seen these threads:

Thanks, but I'm a decided CODA skeptic and like ICON much better.

Besides, I've done my own version of the Achilles under the Spacedock rules for ICON which I put on the forum a few months back. It was a redesign of a version done earlier by Phoenix, another patron of these boards, and I think that's where the 'Ramming Deflector' (Ramming Hull in ICON's Spacedock rules) comes from, because it is not part of the original design notes that Gizmo Games put on the net when the game was released. In fact, I'm sure it's not because I considered dropping it from my design, and I stick as close to the original 'canon' (as much as it can be for a computer game) as I can.

Anyway, I digress...
