YY Favourite Assault Cruiser [Poll]

[Majestic]

Well poll #5 is up. This time it's the assault cruisers, power wise they are in between the Light and Heavy Cruisers, the assault cruisers are designed mainly for heavy artillery and troop transportation but also have standard weaponry to be effective in standard battles.

Well the Candiates are:

• Federation Malcolm Class

• Klingon C13 Class

• Romulan Sky Raven Class

• Gorn Shyamal Class
  
  
  Spoiler: Image

  

Lets see who wins out of these candiates.

I just had to laugh at that Klingon one. Sorry, but what a..... strange design.

I voted for the Gorn one. To me, it is the only one that seems... well, not ugly.

 

[SquireJames]

Ah so Assault Cruisers are kind of like WWII Auxilliary Cruisers? Nice

Again, I had to go with the Gorn, although the Malcomb Class was close

 

[Atlantis]

Rather predictably (given that the Constant class was my favourite ship in my Cold Front mods), I've gotta go for the Malcolm class =)

 

[Lord_Trekie]

I voted for the Gorn one. To me, it is the only one that seems... well, not ugly.

Sorry, gotta agree with him here.

 

[Dan1025]

Same here, Gorn for me

 

[Majestic]

Well it was based off that design and another SFC fan designed ship called the Magenulles (spelling?).

Sorry, gotta agree with him here.

So do I.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

I went with Klingons. Don't know why but I did. If I may respectfully offer some constructive critism.....These are the ugliest ships I've ever seen.





U.G.L.Y. You ain't got no alibi
You ugly! Hey! Hey! You ugly!

 

[Majestic]

These are the ugliest ships I've ever seen.

You'd think we have done that on purpose would you?

Have to agree with these two, Gorn all the way for this one

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

You'd think we have done that on purpose would you?

Logic would dictate that the purpose for the visual images of these vessels would be to highten the visual appeal of an even greater vessel.

 

[Borg_Queen]

Lots of odd shapes here, so I went with the Gorn this time.

PS.: That Klingon ship has way too small "head".

 

[Syf]

As far as the Klingon, Yeah, she's not much to look at.... basically only a parent could love kind of look. I look at it as if it's a fat chicken attempting to fly.

But, what all these lack in "looks", they will be an instrumental piece of a successful fleet. That can be "taken to the bank"!

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

The proper quote for that motto would be "you can take that to the bank!"

Na...I'm just messin with you man.

But seriously................................

 

[Syf]

I will say that 2 ships have been delivered this week, even with the mis-fortune of my "real-life" job demanding a heap more of my time (Actually, I've been at it for a week+ now without a day off from work to boot).

I won't mention that I've just returned to work after almost a month off then...

looking forward to these new ships, just please let them be huge cruisers that can dispatch the decapitated chicken klingon ship in a few volleys

 

[Aerilon]

I think, secretly, Majestic & Syf have made the Assault Cruisers Ugly on purpose. The reason for that being, that every project needs some ugly thing, that you can blow up time and time again, and get a buzz from it.

 

[Syf]

We all know that not every single ship can be "cool and awesome" looking.... And as for these birds heading toward your frontline, yes, you will want to dispatch them quickly.

 

[Majestic]

What he said ^.

They are the command cruisers and I can tell you that the Federation one is awesome and may have just become my favourite Federation ship.

 

[Syf]

Coming from you, that's high praise for the ship. And yes, it can "dispatch" those headless chickens.....

 

[Majestic]

Yes I am what one would consider fussy when it comes to models.

Once the Klingon, Romulan and Gorn ones are completed I will do a show case of them for all you fans. Please be patient like you have already, Syf and I are working on them and they will be ready as quickly as humanly possible.

 

[Knight]

Command cruisers... hmmm, sounds interesting

and boom go the chickens

 

[Majestic]

I wouldn't count out the "chickens" as you call them yet. They are Assault Cruisers, the name must mean something.

 

[Syf]

And who is to say that this discussion has not prompted us to increase the threat of these chickens...

Of coarse, we wouldn't do that... Or would we?

Oh I know, I am mean. I just love to have a good laugh is all.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

i personally think that the romulan vessel's lines are sleek and in keeping with tmp era.

 

[SquireJames]

As those in the military will attest, while the frontlines (whether on the ground, on the seas, in the air or in the stars) may be seen as the "glamourous" parts of a war, often the war hinges on the humble, unappreciated, "boring" logistical parts of the armed forces.

The Assault Cruisers may not be pretty, but I dare say without their contingents of Starfleet Marines during planetary assaults or starbase captures, an awful lot of Redshirts would be going home in a box, or against Klingon warriors, several very small boxes.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Well said.

 

[Creed]

To quote a very old British Wisdom
(later purloined by a B franklin of the colonies )

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

but i think you are missing one of the points of TMP.... lots of redshirts should be going home in boxes...it's what they do...

All that said I am really interested to see some pictures of these assault ships.. so, any time you're ready...

Check the first post, as they are all there, other wise people wouldn't know what they are voting for.
