Posted by Christopher Logan in “Ship” Idea 1 Intrepid
Hello everyone. My name is Christopher Logan. I have actually have been having this for a very long time and would love to share it with my friends and fellow roleplayers. This ship is an Intrepid class starship just like Voyager NCC-74656 but for the 25th century. I am looking for people who are interested on making ideas with me for this ship and I have some ideas.

Name: U.S.S. Lovejoy.
Registry Number: NCC-2020-K
Class starship: Intrepid Class
Owner: United Federation of Planets
Operator: Starfleet
Status: Active (3191)

Missions in: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Quadrants. Some missions in the Delta Quadrant. Figuring out other species that has never been seen or mentioned at all. Might end up running into the Klingons, Romulans for the Beta Quadrant. The missions in the Gamma Quadrant would be meeting the Jem’Hadar. In the Delta Quadrant, we will meet the Borg, if the Q arrive we’ll might even meet up with them. The ones that hasn’t been mentioned or seen in the series are Akritirian, Aksani, Alsuran, Ankari, Annari, Antarian, Argala, Arrithean, Augris’ Species, and others that I’m not gonna go naming. The species that has been mentioned in the series the Borg, Kazon, Vidiian, Hirogen, Talaxian, Ocampans, Brunali, Krenim, and the Pendari. For those that has been seen and mentioned within the series, I want to actually expand that with others that hasn’t. So those are some ideas of the U.S.S. Lovejoy.

I feel like that this option of mine would work out cause I know that the fact that I’ve been wanting a command of my own. But if this doesn’t go through I’m okay with that too. But in fact. If starfleet asks the Lovejoy to come back and get refitted, we will not go against orders. I feel like that the fact that this’ll be something that the ship should have and have a really good crew and that it should be a good asset of starfleet. If anyone is interested, all is welcome. All species is welcome even new type species are welcome on board. I want to have this X-Fleet ship to move into an actual fleet and be a good ship to be in. I feel like that the fact that this ship should be able to stay going and shall have a crew that cares.

As this is something I been wanting to do. I feel like this will be a successful ship and a ship that’ll run for a long while. If it doesn’t run for a long while that is fine. But I would like to keep it up and running and make it where the crew will do it well enough.

Thank you.

Christopher

This proposal has several issues. I will address them in detail below.

• Ship Specification
  STF does not use canon vessel designs in order to comply with copyright laws established for RP-based fan clubs. As such, STF uses ship specifications designed by members for the club. There are a couple of discontinued STF specifications that are appropriate as alternatives to the Intrepid.

Victoria-class - This follows the current specification format. Technically discontinued, but as we saw with the McCoy class a while back, it could easily be reintroduced.
Genesis-class - Out of date and with limited detail, but it’s an expansion of the Intrepid. Can’t be used in the main fleet.

• Time Frame
  You say you want it set in the 25th century, but then you put its status as active in the 32nd.

• Purpose
  An X-Fleet ship can’t be established with the intention of turning it into a mainstream vessel. The Leviathan became that way after it was an X-Fleet ship for an extended period and a decent number of people recommended that it be changed from X-Fleet into an Alt-RPG. It was originally just a vessel where members could participate in a unique special operations unit, and it was just able to stay active and healthy for long enough that people wanted to make it a relatively permanent fixture. Starting an X-Fleet vessel explicitly to turn it into a viable RP environment for the main fleet goes against the spirit of the X-Fleet charter. Additionally, while the CO of an X-Fleet ship is typically also the main founder (if there even is a CO, which, given the few X-Ships I’ve joined, is not always the case), I don’t know if four other people would want to join a passion project focused upon giving one member the opportunity to lead.

• Uniqueness
  I’m a little unclear as to how this ship is actually exploring a concept that members can’t get in a regular RP environment, or, barring that, an Alt-RPG. It seems to be covering the same concepts as a main fleet vessel, just in a different location. Main fleet RP environments can do everything that you’re proposing except for lifting the limitations on character creation.

Ultimately, this probably needs to be reworked. I hope that I came across as objective here.

Could you help me out on it my friend. I could use some help. Honestly I don’t know how to do one like this.

Chris.

What are you trying to role-play with this ship? Are you looking to play a ship in the future (and if so when)? Are you looking to play a ship that is in a different part of the galaxy then our mainfleet ships? And who else is interested in that idea? So that’s probably the first thing you need to do. You don’t need a complicated proposal or anything - just need to figure out the answers to those questions.

Once you have the idea figured out and five members in total who want to do it, go the Engineering Department and pick a ship class. (Or make up a ship class yourself. Or don’t use a ship class at all - it’s up to the five of you how you want to role play. Just don’t use something canon, as that’s against the Terms of Service.)

Then pick a name of the ship.

Then follow the steps in green box here (https://www.star-fleet.com/core/xfleet/shipyards/) to make it happen.

Good luck!
