Hi,
This has been a great thread!
I have the following ships:
U.S.S. SERENITY - A Constitution Class Starship that I purchased. She is named in memory of my mother.
U.S.S. SERENDIPITY - A Constitution Class starship retrofitted to into an Exeter class starship. Being a hopeless romantic I named her with my wife in mind.
U.S.S. PRIME - A MIRROR Star Crusier (soverign) I obtained through the now discontinued Tholian lock box. This ship was actually named after a 1980's icon - Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. I also gave this ship an NX registry for reasons that pertain to my characters background story, etc... The name has been used on two other ships which I have since discharged as I was not fond of them. This is my flagship for the foreseeable future. If anyone could tell me how to get the I.S.S. Prefix I would be most appreciative!
U.S.S. GRIMM - I also receive TWO MIRROR Assault cruisers and unpacted only one of them. The name was assigned by cryptic and I have not used the ship at all really. I am not sure if I am going to keep it or not. The other boxed ship is up for grabs if anyone wants it! Just make me an offer!
I have tried various other ships given to me with each new tier but I have since discharged them all. They were:
U.S.S. POS - a crappy shuttle craft that I had to use for a mission. The name speaks for itself.
U.S.S. OSLO - A promethius class starship I never bothered to change its name and after two missions I discharged it. Blastphemy to some, I know, but I found it generally underwhelming and prefer the look to the original ST cruisers.
I also had a variant of the Galaxy class ship and a Tactical Escort... Both discharged. The original ship that comes with sign up never stood a chance as I bought the original TOS ship (Serenity) almost immediately. Again, I know, why throw away ships...
I may try a Defiant class starship in future but to be honest I would love to see cryptic make it so that you could eventually purchase additional slots for your existing starships. I make the PRIME more tactical oriented and give it more weapon slots... My character may have turned over a new leaf but it doesnt mean he has stopped sleeping with a phaser under his pillow!
