Mriandas are my favorite ST ship. Why? They kick ass, and look good doing it!

A few pics of the Miranda:










I'll never forgive them for removing the roll bar:

Some more:



Soyuz refit:


The bastardized "no rollbar" Miranda (ugh):

If I were forced to have a ST ship, I'd pick the Sovereign or a Miranda...

Akira-class, a worthy successor to the Miranda:

I like em...
*wonders if it's ok to copy an ST ship with SW tech/materials deck-for-deck....*

Probably end up being too big.

Hmm the miranda my favorite ST ship!

Yours too? Cool. Something about it rubs me the right way, maybe the fact that the Reliant got beaten to within an inch of its life without even a trace of a warp core breach.

Or that it just looks so slim and deadly from the front. Or that it's design leans a lot more towards combat than the Constitution's does.

Or just all of that....

I know. I'm listing the stuff I like about it.

k3wl... Hmm ya think the Wells Class (USS Relativity) is any good?

Lovely design but I'll only take one if it's proven beyond any doubt that dropping a feather on the glowy parts won't cause an immediate explosion!

Meh. Looks OK.

The Miranda 2281 Edition

Small, well armed*, cool looking, and it takes one hellvua beating**

*= Rollbar standred

**=See USS Enterprise battle logs for proof

"The Miranda, this is one mean lady"

Well, the E-A also took quite a beating without any trace of a core breach... of course, they were having some other core problems at the time, anyway.

I, too really like the Miranda (with the rollbar) it is a good ship. But I think I like the Centuar better, basically the Miranda type for the Excelcior.




[edited, couldn't get the links to work]

I think part of the appeal of the Miranda is the underslung nascelles, when WOK came out it was the first Federation ship showing a break from the Constitutions I was exposed to.

Yes, I posted this in the Mechs thread, but dammit, it's a Miranda!

akira, defiant, or miranda is what i'd take.
