Yea, I agree Caine.  There is a lot that can be done with this for RP to spice things up.  I really like your ideas, all them.  I didn’t put too much meat into it without seeing if anyone would be interested in the premises of being assigned a ship for RP.   I tried coming up with some good ship names (even if common ones) to lure the fleeties in.

Throw what meat you want, I think this is best suited as a group effort.  After all, I’d be participating as well and the more meat to it the better.   I like RP side when it comes to this game, but I’m far from being the best at it.

After years on the game the grind to max out as fallen out with me as long as my gear gets me where I’m going decently, so I tend to look in the RP direction.

Here is a list I have complied thus far if interest peaks of ships to be “commissioned” by Fleet Admiral Marcase in need of command assignments.  It is a WIP for NCC#’s/narrowing down class.

U.S.S. Endurance / Sovereign class NCC-91150(ship patch)
U.S.S. Defiance / Galaxy class NCC-74xxx
U.S.S. Endeavor / Chimera/variant class NCC-95xxx
U.S.S. Sentinel  / Avenger class  NCC-97xxx
U.S.S. Sunbreaker / Arbiter class  NCC-98xxx
U.S.S. Timberwolf / Akira class NCC-91040(ship patch)
U.S.S. Yorktown / Yorktown class  NCC-xxxxx
U.S.S. Kitty Hawk / Concorde/variant class NCC-xxxxx
U.S.S. Carolina / Cruiser/Light Cruiser  NCC-42050-A
U.S.S. Paladin / Resolute/variant class NCC-xxxxx
U.S.S. Horizon / Guardian class NCC-9xxxx
U.S.S. Archer / Nova/variant class NCC-87xxx
U.S.S. Kodiak / Andromeda/variant class  NCC-98xxx
U.S.S. Celestial / Vesta/variant class  NCC-89xxx
U.S.S. Galactica / Alita/varaint or Jupiter class NCC-9xxxx
U.S.S. Melbourne / Sutherland/Nebula class  NCC-xxxxx
U.S.S. Lexington / Archon class  NCC-10xxxx
U.S.S. Achilles / Hestia/variant class  NCC-xxxxx
U.S.S. Saratoga / Sovereign class  NCC-82xxxx
U.S.S. Atlantis / Pathfinder/variant class NCC-xxxxx
U.S.S. Sun Tzu / Valiant/Defiant class NCC-xxxxx

 

As you can see I would be offering up 2 of my ship namesakes for assignment that have ship patches with them.  If can’t garner enough interest in a minimum number of members will to RP this, could compile the list and just allow Marcase to assign commands as interest parties come along.

I know people are attached to their ships, so didn’t expect this to receive a crowd at the door, but geez I figured there would be more people out there wanting to make this feel more like the real deal haha.

No, they never did produce any STO ships.  It was something that was “coming your way” was 3D printed ships that you could order with that featured your in game ship, to include NCC# and name.  It never launched off, so you didn’t miss anything.

was hoping the 3D STO ships may be a reality again (fat chance). Congrats on your buy.

Amen to that, I was sad when this was cancelled.

One thing that comes to mind, that I hope will happen, is the thought that maybe the start of this war causes the Klingons to throw the lavish “design” to the side and build their “look” more for war.

I will continue to watch, after all it is Star Trek.  But I do have issues which seem to go in hand with everyone else.

The Klingons…….they didn’t feel like Klingons.  The looks of them, the glamor and sparkle look of their armor and ship interiors….it just wasn’t Klingon to me at all.  The ship covered with their dead (as stated the body was just a shell to Klingons), the design of their ships, just aweful.

At least with the Federation they seem to stick to similar ship lines, but not a huge fan of the uniforms.  Even JJ, after all the stuff he did to hack stuff up, kept the classic colorways and lines.  Which this show seems to go toward the JJ flare, without all the lens flare.

I don’t mind a different take on things, but I just wish there was more roots to the old when it comes to the Federation on uniforms and they didn’t, in my opinion, completely re-do the beloved Klingon race to the point they lose what people love about them visually and their culture.

Side note, still not a huge fan at all of the Discovery model.  However I really liked the ones shown so far for the Federation.

My small lil army is coming along.  When it’s complete I’ll post pictures.

[Captain Huckabee]

Nice.  I only have one, the Akira.  Great model and info with it.  Never did sign up for the collection though.

[Captain Huckabee]

Sweet.  Here is my army so far just for anyone curious.

Bjorn the Fell-Handed (HQ)

x2 Thunderwolf Cavalry

x3 Wolf Guard

x1 Grey Hunters

Right now it’s just over 1000 points, but might drop the Grey Hunters to drop it closer to that number.  Ended up getting a lot of points by building troops of Wolf Guard just because I thought certain weapons looked cooler and didn’t really put much playing thought into the building.  Saves me money, but drops my units to a few to have to be more tactical.

[Captain Huckabee]

Not quite the same shot, but I finally found it after checking all *redacted*!  For some reason kept blocking me from getting closer to get the shot you did.

Welcome back!  I would have liked my “free….ish” ship better if it wasn’t so transform-y.  Too many moving parts imho for a Destroyer and engineers having to worry about repairing after a battle. haha

Another new ship maybe to look at is the Reliant.  I love mine, looks great with the Type 8 skin it has.  I say this because I’ve seen a few things where people have called it the “mini” Oddy since it can be set up like one.

Keep in mind though, won’t be long and they release the Galaxy interior if you think you might want it and some type of Galaxy variant.
