wells class

Post by blazze9 »

is it just me or is the wells class the best looking starfleet ship ? for someone who doesn't like the look of flimsy nacelles on the other star fleet ships this one and the defiant hit the spot for me. it would make a bad ass star fleet war ship. what do you guys think of the design ?

Looks like someone adapted an SR-71 and a Ferengi D'Kora vessel into one. It does look durable and functional.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Honestly, I didn't think I'd miss it, but I prefer Federation ships having saucers. Though, this could be a development from the Defiant's design and Starfleet making more solid hull ships without any noticeable gaps in them.

The saucer-engineering hull-nacelles design is what gives Starfleet ships personality. I want them to look like that. The Wells looks like a Wars design (probably Calamari) or a derivative of the WC Paradigm.

It's a heavily armed temporal\science vessel with armament equal to a UFP cruiser. But didn't Voyager beat one of them?

No, they fought a small one-person craft.

I like the design, and I can tell it's clearly a Federation craft (which is good), but I agree with Batman - it just doesn't feel "right" without a saucer.

No thanks. That abomination somehow manages to look just like a Starfleet ship and nothing like a Starfleet ship at the same time.

The Avenger class looks like Voyager and Mass Effect had a love child.

It also looks like it's got rubber armor in case you drop it. :P

The Avenger's got some neat features that should really have come in earlier, like blast shields over the windows and partially blast shielding the collectors, deflector and nacelles. It's also the Smart Car version of the Vengeance. The Odyssey's been growing on me as well.

In terms of canon ships, I have a soft spot for the Excelsior Refit with its exploding accoutrements (Enterprise B). The little buildouts give it a better feel around that curvy lower hull. That and all of the Miranda-esque cut-down ships, I like. Miranda, Nebula, Akira, they look practical and, well, they're obviously not the lead ship but clearly related to it. Truly, the understudies of the universe.

According to Starbound, it's a problem solvable with enough combat drugs to turn you into the Incredible Hulk.

The Avenger when I first saw it made me think "urgh, fugly".

Having taken it for a spin though in STO the design has grown on me. It's not as sexy as the Nebula or Excelsior, but its quite neat.
