I love my piggy, go ahead and laugh, she may not be the prettiest gal at the ball, but at the end of the night, when everyone else is limping back home to get repairs, she's still dancing the night away. even elite Donatra has trouble punching through her hull. and the advanced interceptors make a nice addition.

I already have a whole thread about how much I love my ship:

http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/sh...d.php?t=275561

My armitage class and my advanced heavy cruiser retrofit and my babies!
armitage for its awesome looks and ability and the advanced cruiser retrofit for its classic looks and streamline feel!

The Star cruiser I'm in now doesn't have many bells and whistles, but she's a solid, durable ship that can take a hell of a lot of punishment. There's nothing like having an elite tac cube, a negh'var, and a raptor throwing everything they've got at you and coming up short.

I am rather fond of all my escorts, but the new Armitage class is my favourite with the Defiant (even though I also hate that ensign tac slot!) running a very close second.
I like my Sci ships as well for some good crowd control :biggrin:

Firstly my Armitage class. Considering how hesitant I was to purchase it initally, it's turned out to be a wonderful ship. It's DPS is great, the fighters fantastic and the Point Defense Torpedo console is a blast!

And whilst I have to admit to not being the biggest fan of the base-Akira class, the 'mix and match' ship-yard options have left me with a ship that I LOVE the look of!

And, apologies, but I can't post in thread pertaining to favorite ships without giving honorable mention to my old Rhode Island type Nova class, which got me as far as, and halfway through, T4 and is sorely missed, being (basically) unsuitable for endgame play. Absolute dream to fly, and I continue to pray that a T5 version will one day grace the C-store.

I love my Advanced Escort. Not only have I customized it to look like an X-Wing Speedboat, but its capabilities as a Science-leaning Tactical ship creates a zen-like balance in combination with my Engineer Captain.

I love my B'rel retrofit.

One of the most loved or misunderstood ships in the game, depending on who you're talking to. I can ''fire everything!'' from cloak, turn around, and enjoy the show as everything hits in the span of just a few seconds.

Nothing in this game is so satisfying to me as watching a Federation Oddyssey ''pop'' when my tricobalt finally hits. It's also pretty satisfying to pop these smug new Armitage captains.

(This was a tough decision. My close 2nd is my old-school K'tinga that I run STF's in. People crying for a T5 K'tinga are pansies. The K'tinga is fine!)

I really enjoy flying the multi-vector assault, I think the DPR and maneuverability of the Jem'Hadar ship is awesome, but I LOVE my D'Kora, Quark's Treasure.

I love it because it's big and chunky and orange and looks like it would have the turning capability of a truck. I also love it because it is the greatest shield-stripping agent I've seen. One pass and I can waste almost all of Donatra's shields on elite STF.

I had one person grumble that I was flying it in an elite STF. He changed his tune when Donatra's shield were gone!! (Wish it had a tad more DPS, but you can't have everything. If you did, where would you put it?)

my favourite is below. also cause of its handling and abilities, but more of its design. only ship i run, which is not in its vanilla skin. tried to get as close to BoP design as possible (don't llike the sight of the akira in vanilla very much)
