Best Ship in TNG?

I was basically wondering what you think was the best ship in TNG. I'm basically new to the mod. There are several things i love about it though. One is the fact that it doesn't take you a million missions to get some cash, basically on account of the Liberty Cannons and whatnot. I also love how Nexus was designed. That was probably the best thing anybody has as of yet completed. The fact that hypergates were installed makes trading, and for that fact, pirating a whole lot easier... Well...anyway... what do you feel is the best ship suitable for the job?... Hey... if you wanna give me like a top five ship list... that would be cool too... also like where you could acquire them...

Thanks

From my experiences, the top five ships

1) U.S.S. Enterprise
2) B-Wing Bomber
3) Millenium Falcon
4) The most expensive ship on the BHG base in the Nexus, I forgot the name. :S
5) ....dont have a fifth one.

yeah, but the USS enterprise is ugly as sin. I was extremely suprised too, considering the wealth of star trek models and tutorials on 3d modeling/teturing availble from the old Homeworld mods. Someone should switch out the TNG enterprise with a nice next generation enterprise, excelsior, defiant, or voyager.

UPDATED 9/9/2003

Ship Class ------------ Ship -------------- Why I Like It

Favorite Start Ship: Starflier with house weapons - super agile harbinger of liberty rogue doom!!!

light fighter-----: I avoid using light fighters; otherwise: starfury/ywing?
Heavy Fighter---: Starship Enterprise and Justice (AKA Moldy Crow)
Gunboat----------: Kusari Gunboat - looks cool and kicks butt!
Cruiser-----------: Shadow Cruiser - mega capshipkiller; Liberty Cruiser - it looks cool. will replace w/ kusari dest asap
Battleship--------: Brakiri Battleship
Freighter --------: Millenium Falcon OWNS!

I can take out entire battleship fleets with falcon if I am fully equipped. takes a long time...but i barely take any hits due to Falcon's low target profile. cant do that with lib-cruiser w/o severe dmg and w/ shadowcruiser i have to waste the fleet extremely quickly or else i die

Favorite Ship so far (best all around): Millenium Falcon !!!

With the power of the house weapons behind you you can kick some serious butt in even a light fighter. I had a lot of fun with the LDP4 believe it or not. Suspect the melinium falcon would be fun too, and more cargo besides.

I am kinda confused about the house weapons. Are they meant for cap ships only? Its odd that they are only a level 1 turret and do so much damage.

(And for those of you who never looked up Homeworld mods, where have you been for the past 5 years? Some of the Star Trek, Bab 5, and RObotech mods are simply phenominal. No campaign though which totally sucks, its only good for multiplayer and skirmish)

Post Thu Sep 04, 2003 7:15 am

Nah, they're meant to be equiped on anything. If they were Batts only, I'd be in trouble, since I never use 'em.

Post Fri Sep 05, 2003 2:28 am

Hmmm. Where should I go for such mods Tom? I have had HW for about 3 years, but spent my time map making instead of modding.

Phooey. I need a new quote.

Tom if you like Voyager try http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/downloa ... asp?id=305
its quite a nice custom ship

and the moldy crow great looks like its had a hard life but still kicks ass
