Names for the Flagship Project

[maxsmith]

also, zenith also refers to a peak- the highest point, the goal. It's a loaded word.

Besides, why do want a STARSHIP named after a goddess of the earth?

[kosh0darmek]

there aint any better ones there

[isis]

The "arika" class is named after the Japanese p cartoons




how about the "ship" class or the "class" class.

[isis]

I know the "Roddenberry" class!!!!

[kosh0darmek]

its the name not the class but u.s.s roddenberry sounds nice

[Harrias Jira]

I will admit, I've always thought that using Roddenberry's name, or any of the other staff, is a bit tacky. Okay, a lot tacky!

[isis]

for the name of the class

thats wot it says at the top

[kosh0darmek]

tacky or not it rules man u.s.s roddenberry

[Deleted]

Once again, this is for the class of ship, not the actual name of the ship itself.

[ajohnson]

That's not neccessarily true.

[Deleted]

If thats the case, then the poll question should be changed then!

[isis]

i the use of the names is tacky why are they on all the plaques?

[kosh0darmek]

the class is always name after the first ship of the class

[Deleted]

Im sorry, but dont patronise me. I DO know these things....I am just trying to steer you back on topic. We are talking about CLASS not ship......We may come up with a class name, yet still use a different name for the ship that actually becomes the flagship.

[kosh0darmek]

USS Galaxy (NCC-70637) galaxy class first one

USS Ambassador (NX-10521) Ambassador class first one

USS Yellowstone (NX-74751) Yellowstone class first one

USS Prometheus (NX-59650) Prometheus class u get it? u hearing what im trying to say if the ship is named u.s.s roddenberry the hole class will

[Deleted]

For the love of god.....listen to me. For a start, I dont like your attitude, so you had better calm that down first of all.

For example, we come up with the 'Silver' Class for the ship (just as an example), but the ship that is built will possibly have a different name. Not necessarily, but it may happen.

[Deleted]

For instance we may not use the first ship made from that class, since it's possible (IC) we would want the ship class to be tested and have functioning models before we make it our flagship.

So if the ship is named Roddenberry the first ship might well be named Roddenberry as well, but we might not use the first ship of the line.

[Deleted]

Thank you....I think?

[charlotteboissey]

Time for a French joke I guess...

I propose the "USS Charles de Gaulle". But it implies to build the launchbay doors too tiny for the shuttles to go out... As a tribute to present French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle which was launched at first with a deck too short for planes to land or to take off.

[Deleted]

Now the only thing I know related to that name is the airport where one of the Air France Concorde's crashed nearby shortly after takeoff.

[charlotteboissey]

yeah Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris surroundings. Well could be a pretty name for a short-life ship anyway lol

[cptjeff]

or an NPC ship...

Well, that would fall with tradition.

Not to say that the first ship of the line is not used, but it is rarely the better known ship in the class. Therefore, you could assume that the first one is like a dummy ship ... so whatever the name of the class is, then the dummy ship will be, and then you have another ship of that class that you proclaim to be your flagship.

sovereign
defiant
prometheus
arika (coz' they took risks with that name of class!!!!)


i know the "dummy" class!!!!

[cptjeff]

Constitution, (enterprise easally most famous, constitution's existance subject to debate)

Constallation (stargazer), Oberth (grissiom perhapsm, no well known vessels)

also try the Galaxy class (Enterprise), the AMbasitdor class, Sovergn class, te akira class (only one ever seen onscreen was in fact, the Uss Thunderchild

also the freedom class USS firebrand, Niagra class uss melbourne, so on and so forth.

Final frontier (the novle) presents a veiw of the Connie: that the first was the enterprise because the constitution, contract number 1700, was never made because between planning and building, it became a whole new ship due to the number of upgrades. thus it's regestry was 1701.

We could use something like that here too.
