    I'm just curious if other players use ships and gear to portray (at least in part) actual canon ships from Star Trek? I don't mean role-play, but more like established canon ship classes, Phasers and Photons/Quantum for Federation, Disruptors and Photons for Klingons, and Disruptors and Plasma for Romulans? That sort of thing.

    I like trying to make good, strong builds while confining myself to those parameters; For example, my next project is a Fleet Heavy Escort Retrofit that will be an Akira carrier, beam and torpedo boat as the original designer intended when making the model. I'll be putting an omni-directional phaser on a rear slot to boost damage output while still keeping the torpedo rate of fire up.

    I used to do that, or at least always had a torpedo in my builds, but then I eventually stopped, I just gave up on my attempts to have a more canon feel at some point. Don't know exactly why and when, but I started to go along with the game's silliness.

    I have what I call a "Foundry" build which is a Fed cruiser that uses 3 fore and aft phaser beams and two quantum torpedos.

    I would never use it properly in an STF or the like, but for running a Foundry mission I like to use something that has a canon feel to it

    I have a canon Galaxy that I crank out when I'm feeling nostalgic. I really should try parsing it at some point.

    It's loosely based off of Bridger's build HERE

    I've been toying with this idea for some time and I plan to build one such Fed ship as soon as I'm done with my Scimitar upgrade according to latest standards of game's silliness...

    I always use phasers on my Fed ship....but do not use photons for the reasons stated above. That's as close to canon as I can get.... ALTHOUGH, I did break out my Constitution class ship the other day....complete with BLUE phasers! It was, as a Klingon would say... glorious.

    I always use phasers on my Fed ship....but do not use photons for the reasons stated above. That's as close to canon as I can get.... ALTHOUGH, I did break out my Constitution class ship the other day....complete with BLUE phasers! It was, as a Klingon would say... glorious.
    Theres something about the old TOS connie with MK XIV Epic TOS phasers! I wish they'd give us a T6 Connie or a T6 Exeter class so we can use the Connie skin Big Grin

    So my Tholian Recluse has a full array of tetryon beams and mesh weavers. Does that count as canon?
