 The Safest Spaceship Ever Or perhaps this is the work of the descendents of the engineers responsible for the KC46? Thought this might be a fun distraction from all the election stuff. What ornate features would you like on your deep space exploration vessel? I think I would just be happy with an Olympic sized swimming pool.

And yet, after the kamikaze run on the Odyssey convinced Starfleet to take the Dominion seriously they didn't lose any Galaxy class ships in the entire war. It's got teeth when you need them.

I remember the TV guide coming in the mail and them showing the new Enterprise design for The Next Generation many, many years ago, and I thought it was hideous. Still do. I did like the change they made when it became the Enterprise "E". Thought it was a cool design.

Swimming in weightless water would be no harder than laterally swimming through weighed water. Treading water would be more difficult, but you could just push your mouth up and tread nearly as easily as you would with weight. |

That whole movie is a set of highly unlikely and moronically contrived coincidences. Just the fact that a ship, designed to carry thousands of people only has one auto-Doctor unit? Or no possible contingency if someone wakes up accidentally? No big blue button labeled 'press button in case of accidental awakening' that wakes up at least one of the crew if this happens? That ship was probably designed by Vogons. At least the user interfaces were. |

They also had a serious systems malfunction every other episode. Just using the holodeck was practically Russian roulette. One time the thing became sentient and nearly killed them while giving birth, FFS.

Bigger on the inside, than it is on the outside.
Doesn't have to slingshot around a star to time travel. Paint it like a port-a-potty, and park it anywhere here on earth, and people will stay away from it.  |

The ship in 'Battle Beyond the Stars' for obvious reasons....
Often wondered what it looked like from the back  And if that was the entry port, if you had to lick the key pad to enter.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sorry, I should've quoted the OP No worries, I just wanted an excuse to post that meme, it's a fun one. You have to admit though, the designer of that vessel did an excellent job with conflicting specifications. "I want it to look like a sword. And also an axe. Oooh, and a gothic cathedral too!" |

 Ever been part of a 100+ battleship fleet trying to burn out of bubbles while being massacred by doomsday weapons from a dozen titans (because you had a goonswarm spy in exactly the wrong role in your alliance)? You should try it. |

Always thought a scaled up Defiant class would be cool. Massive armament, compact design, highly maneuverable and regenerative shields/armor. No holodecks, no creature comforts just a no-holds, kick ass spaceship to show the Federation means business.
Yes, yes TV/movies and the desire of the leftist writers but come on. A bunch of hostile races and you keep sending what essentially is the Love Boat around. One reason why I enjoyed DS9 is they understood the storyline needed to show the Federation had serious offensive capabilities without all the sissy shit. I know, I know.......neeeeeeeeeeerds!! |

I've only seen partial shots. But the Nimitz Class from... Sigh STD kinda looks like a child of a marriage between a Defiant class and a Prometheus class.  Attached File Attached FileStar Trek sexually transmitted disease really should have been set after TNG, Voyager and DS9. It seems the writers have acknowledged that in the third season. In the stupidest fashion possible. But at least they are halfheartedly acknowledging their mistakes. |
