Yeah, nothing like a vaguely phallic warship. :lol: :lol:

The Klingon Bird of Prey, fast yet with a pretty good weapon system. Pulse Disrupters where in use by Klingons long before the Defiant was even though of.

D7/K'Tinga. There was a time when it was the most menacing looking alien ship out there, and it's still THE classic, as far as I'm concerned.

I catch shit for enjoying TMP around here, but the Klingon battle in the begining was as inspirational to me as the ISD flyover in the opening sequence of ANH...Well, almost. :D

The 3 K'Tingas at the beginning of TMP is still the best opening of all ST movies!

And the D'Deridex, from most angles, that thing is ugly from its ass.

For me, the D'Deridex comes so close to being awesome, but misses the punch with the huge empty spaces between the upper and lower hulls. It's command "pod" gets me going with the similarity to a pre-dreadnought battleship's ram bow, but it fizzles aft of that.

I always liked the romulan warbird.

It would cooler though if it didn't have that huge empty space in the middle of it.

One of my favorite models I assembled was the Warbird in the Star Trek Adversary set, but when I finished it I showed my father and he thought it was an unstuffed Turkey.

The K'Tinga and the D7 are two different ships. There are enough differences in the hull that its a different ship.

I heard the D7 referred to as 'Klolode' before as well, but you're right. The K'Tinga is a redesigned Klolode/D7, much like the Enterprise-A is improved over the Enterprise-Nil.

I like the ship that those metaphor-speaking guys used in TNG. Ferengi Marauders arent all bad, but the color is a little "eesh"

That's my favorite too.

It's just cool looking :D


In the TOS movies my favorite is the the more detailed version of the classic Klingon Battle Cruiser. I particularly like the detailing on the 3 ships seen in TMP, especially the scorch marks around the torpedo launcher ports. :twisted:

The Klingon BoP is cool but I think it got over used a bit and there seemed to be so many weapons layout varriations for it.

The Gorn ships are real cool. And seem pretty practical as well.(of course, I've only seen their drawings and what they look like in Starfleet Academy(the game))

I actually like the Romulan Crusiers in Nemesis. No, not the Remen ship.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

That ship was very cool. It even had a slipstream drive.

I really like those as well
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;
