I agree with Teaosin one topic, and you all act like its the end of the world!

I could have sworn I read something in the Book of Revelations about "the seventh seal will be broken... four horsemen will appear... and Rochey shall agree with Teaos..."

Hi, guys! Kinda new here, but I just had to come when I saw the topic. I, like many of you here, like more than one ship because certain classes of ship fall into different categories, as all are aware. But I ADORE the Nebula class ships for their multi-role capability. They do it all: If you're on a science mission, outfit it with a sensor pod. If you're cannon fodder...uh, I mean, if you're on the front line of a battle, outfit it with a weapons pod. If they made a ship like that to compliment the Sov's, now THAT would be a ship to be reckoned with.

Indeed, the adaptability of that vessel is quite good.

And welcome to DITL, enjoy your stay.

I agree, the uprated one is even better then the galaxy and takes 2/3 the time to build.

She's exactly what she looks like - the Miranda to the Galaxy's Connie.

Now if only we had as many of those as we do mirandas!

Uprated Nebula Class with Weapons Pod for defense/border patrol.

What a copycat. I said the same thing.

Immitation is the highest form of flattery.

Close tie between a Defiant and a Galaxy....and a Miranda.

Ah, whatever; I'll go with the Galaxy....but just because of the cushy Bridge seats.

Can I change my mind to a Defiant? I never had bunk beds as a kid...

I would take a Steamrunner class on some sort of defensive mission, be it colony/border patrol or support flights for capitol ships in Dominion War fleet actions.

Small ship, agile, sleek, and reasonably well-armed. I never bought the line that the Steamrunner was a decades-old precursor to the Galaxy. She looks more in line with the design era of the Sovereign and Prometheus classes, thus I think she'd be more "modern" than DITL specs would place her at. (No offense, Graham.)

I agree with about the Steamrunner. While I don't think it has the design features to be the most modern generation of ships, I always thought the compact, integrated design and angular features would mean it was very well protected and maneuverable.

I think starfleet has pretty much two different base line designs. The Soverign and Galaxy type with a sauser and naccels on a pylon and the more intergrater Steamrunner and Akira. Maybe the intergrated hull doesn't work so well on bigger designs but on small ones it adds to its agility.
