Name that Starship Class

Yep:

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Antares

I think I may be a pretty hard core trek nerd, and that makes me a saaaaad panda.

Nah! Nah! Embrace your Trek Nerdihood! It is a thing of great power and wonder.

Okay this one is a trick question, cuz I made it up me-own-self:

It’s obviously the Doomsday Machines from the similarly named TOS episode, except this appears to represent Vendetta’s (by Peter David) conjecture that they were built to fight the Borg, and that’s them destroying the Borg version of Cybertron.

Am I close?

Yup, you got the Doomsday Device part right. I made this up myself for to use in the Star Trek FASA RPG. It’s what I call the Citadel of Loquar. It’s a huge “space station” and it’s the orgin of the Doomsday Devices. As you can see there are three empty slots, and therefore three Doomsday Devices missing and at large (well one was obviously destroyed by Kirk in TOS, and another destroyed by Captain Hildric of the USS Republic in my RPG…)

Heh, neat, I didn’t realize those were docking bays, I though they were shredded remains of a mechanical planet that was being eated. :smiley:

I’ll go next:

Close enough, that model was modified to become the ‘Tosk’ ship from DS9 which is where this illustration comes frim.

Yes, Antares.

But you named the file ‘Tosk’! That’s like fishing with dynamite, I figured you were doing a trick question and going to zap anyone who went with the easy answer. :smiley:

Really? I named my photobucket file DS9 ship, how did it show up as tosk???

But I got it honestly before I looked at the file name. :smiley:

Decatur class?

Thinking about starting a FASA-trek thread. Just for the love of it.

Yeppers! I was going for Belknap, but Decatur was a legit variant of the hull.

You’re up! Post a starship.

Probably a softball for all the FASA players:

Pro tip: You can use imgur.com upload a renamed version of the ship so the filename doesn’t give it away if you don’t already have webhosting. :wink:

PS, I bet the other starship captains hate the above ship, it must take up like three parking spaces at the Space Diner.

I’m pressed for time right now anyway, have to go get DA GWEN in about…um now…

Ok, ok.

It’s the Chandley. Try this:

Hint: The ship is a bit of a “relic”.

Dang, now I want to see that episode again.

Yes, I’ve been lurking. I have no clue about classes outside Galaxy, Akira (I should have called that one), Excelsior, and Constitution.

Sydney class… And they reused them upside down to try and make them look different during Best of Both Worlds.

Right on! Ok, now you go.

This is the Chandley class. To have a fair game against most klingon ships, this was the most well rounded federations ship. Fed ships were REALLY over powered! Maybe even realisticly so… but it made for poor game mechanics. If a D7 fought your Enterprise class, it could never win. There was no real even match fo the Enterprise. Either the L24 or Nova were TOO powerful, or the klingon and romulan cruisers were weak.

If a chandly fought a D-7, you got a fair fight!
