Take a voyage to... er, to the Discovery

Although, with the ability to fully customize your ship, we suppose plenty of players will opt for a less bakery inspired frontal appearance purely through coincidence. Plus, there's also the yet-to-be-revealed Cochrane variant as well.
Also, don't let the big blue deflector array fool you into thinking this ship is equipped with some kind of super weapon. Being a science vessel, the Discovery is much more adept at advanced tech, and as such can hone in on an enemies weakness right quick. Who needs heavy weapons when you've got an Achilles heel detector? Heck, this baby can even detect some cloaked ships -- take that, sorta, Klingons!

This is an amazing looking upgrade to the Intrepid class.

The warp foils look a little weird, but then again, so did the flexo-warp nacelles on Voyager did too, at first.

Nothing wrong with pastry shaped spacecraft, after all no one complained about the imperial destroyer looking like a slice of cheese cake... Mmm imperial cheese cake.

Yeah, I don't buy the muffin thing either. To me, it looks like pure, flying, sex. Gods I love that Intrepid design. Anything that builds on that can grind in my lap whenever it likes!

Well, you know that Captain Janeway... I wouldn't kick her out of my raid group... ;)

I wonder how individual ship names will be generated or assigned in this game? Do you suppose you will get to name your own ship(s) or will names be generated automatically?

That's an excellent question. I'd hate to see a lot of USS LOLZORs flying around. :(

I'd actually prefer it if you could choose to play on servers that incorporate automatic name generators, for exactly that reason.
I'd sooner pick my own avatar name(s) and ship name(s) from an approved list if that also meant I didn't have to come across the kinds of moronic names some players are likely to come up with. :(
