Which is the Best Starship?

[Dave]

The Starships are as important as the actors, each symbolises the era of Star Trek it represents. Which is your favourite ship? And why?

 

[peachy]

i voted for enterprise-A cause my fav st is tos, it just symbolises everything i love about startrek tos, i know all the newer ships look really great, but i remember the first time i ever saw the enterprise on t.v, it just looked awesome...peachy

 

[Dave]

Oh No! Peachy, you voted for the wrong ship!:blush:

If you wanted the original Enterprise you should have voted 'USS Enterprise (No A, No B, No ******D)' - that's what Scotty said about it in 'Relics'- maybe I didn't make it very clear - if so I can change it.
The Enterprise A is the one they get at the end of 'The Voyage Home'. The original being self-destructed at the Genesis planet in 'The Search for Spock'. It is the same class of ship - Constitution - though.

it's ok david676, i like both they ships any way...peachy

i have to say i voted for the Defiant.. its a pretty dam nifty ship that looks good and now has a cloaking device.. It helped keep DS9 alive..

 

[Dave]

As you probably realised I voted for the Defiant as well.

 

[Neo]

wey hey... defiant rules..... why do you like the defiant...

 

[Krystal]

I like the Defiant too for a not so big ship is pretty agressive.

 

[Neo]

well i think the Defiant is a Winner.... I do like the excellsior as well, but not seen much of that... sulu is off out there with it...

 

[Dave]

Why do I like the 'Defiant'?

The Defiant is not a ship of exploration. She is a true Warship built to fight the Borg, but instead used to patrol up front against the Dominion. She was probably overloaded with firepower and engines, but she was a highly functional battleship with a tight crew housed in minimalist quarters, the stoutest line of defence Starfleet could have asked for.

 

[Neo]

well what do people think of the excellsior... i was impressed with it when Sulu was in command...

 

[Dave]

I liked the episode 'Flashback' when they did the after 'The Undiscovered Country' thing with Sulu and the Excelsior.

There is a big section of fans who keep pressing for Sulu and the Excelsior to have his own series. They wanted Series Five to be this in fact. I think it's a great idea, but I still like the Defiant better as a ship!

hehe---not to mention that "The Defiant" is a great name for a ship!

I have to admit, I'm a little partial to the Enterprise(s) commanded by Picard.

I agree.. it would be a great series... But i think Sulu would be slightly older now that when the Undiscovered Country was made...

 

[Dave]

Not if it were set about 10-20 years after 'The Undiscovered Country' and pre-Next Generation. That is the idea. There is a series of books based on that assumption, but I haven't read many Star Trek fiction books so I don't know the plots.

 

[Neo]

what i mean is that George Taki is slightly too old now...

 

[Dave]

Ahh! I didn't realise you meant George Takei!

He's younger than Shatner, and not much older than Stewart, and he is quoted as saying he would like to.

But I think it's unlikely to happen, I agree.

I must point out (irrelevantly) that Patrick Stewart is, of course, the best looking!

I also agree that a Takei series would appear unlikely.

[Neo]

I agree... It would be unlikely that George Taki would be able to do series five... but would be a good series, maybe with someone else at the helm... ?? any ideas who ??

 

[carkedit]

I voted for Enterprise D, just coz ST:TNG is my fav series of the lot.....
