Fourth SIMM ship class

[Dylan Torngate]

*Compiles list of every federation starship in existance, as well as choices from other factions*

I'd say if we get a good list of five to ten then we can have a vote.

So far ones I've seen that people seemed to go for:

1) Defiant (Just bring the Monitor online as it's own instead of Starbase?)
2) Ambassador/Ambassador Refit
3) Excelsior/Excelsior Refit
4) Sabre
5) Nova/Rhode Island
6) Prometheus

I love the list, but I would consider striking the defiant class. Given the current missions we are running I feel like it would be a real struggle to plan missions for.

Seconded

Seconded

I could live with that

Defiant stuff

For some reason, Defiant class vessels are none too popular. I don't see why. I think it's the perfect support vessel for a station. But if we are going with a whole new SIMM then yeah, I'd vote to strike it.

BEST QUOTE EVER!

3) Excelsior/Excelsior Refit

It's because the Defiant was designed to spread hate and discontent....

I played one before and loved it. I just feel like it doesn't work here. #defiantlove

Oh it will work....lol.

Any other class submissions before we throw the poll up?

Norway was mentioned twice in the thread... but kind of falls in the same category as Sabre.

Of note: Prometheus was shown at a later date in ENT in the scene aboard the Enterprise J. It was shown to be in service (along with a Dauntless-class and, randomly, a nova class.) during the 26th century Battle of Procyon V. I would LOVE to see a Prometheus or Dauntless class, non-prototype, in the mix.

If we did a Prometheus, it doesn't need MVAM. HOWEVER, I will point out that it gives flight a lot more to do (something we often lack) as well as potentially gives more authority to the XO and second officer as they could each command part.

And I still vehemently oppose a nova/rhode island. Please see the early pages as to why (wrote several posts on it). Short version, "Not big enough to be a 'big ship', not small enough to be a 'small ship', and it doesn't have anything unique about it to split the difference." If others want it however- I am just one voice.

Thank you everyone for your input. The poll is up with 7 selections.

Since there isn't a lot in canon that we have to stick to we could easily just work under the assumption that the MVAM never made it out of the testing phase.

I agree. I don't like the chance that it will be abused.
