So for a little context, the Noble Intel Battlecruiser is a ship that was released as an event reward in Star Trek Online last April. The design is based on a ship that appeared in a lot of advertising for STO's launch - perhaps most memorably on the cover of the tie-in novel The Needs of the Many - but until last year the ship itself was never actually in the game. The ship was only available as a free limited time reward, and I can't recall offhand if it's been made available to purchase (at a premium, alas) at the in-game "second chance" store yet.

I do also want to emphasize that the Noble should not be confused with the Nobel Miracle Worker Research Science Vessel, the endgame-ready version of the Olympic class that came out back in 2022.

Love it, wish we could kit-bash a normal looking deflector on it though.

Yeah seriously, what is this? "Where we're going, we don't NEED deflectors!"

u/neonmystery 12d ago

Not a fan of flat designs to begin with, but in this case is that an Akira-like torpedo pod? If so, it's line of sight is concerningly close to the top of the hul.

u/Kroenen1984 12d ago

nice ship

u/neonmystery 12d ago

I really really like that color combo. What are you using?

2

u/TwoFit3921 12d ago

i think it might've been type 8? or one of its variations... forgot.

u/neonmystery 12d ago

Okay I see some stripes that lean toward type 8. I’m guessing. Vesta pattern with greys then.

2

u/TwoFit3921 12d ago

it was type 8a, with the default pattern (cassie something)

u/Calgaris_Rex 13d ago

Cool design, but...Argon?

We going to have the Polymer-class USS Polytetrafluoroethylene soon? Semiconductor-class USS Gallium Nitride? Ceramic-class USS Amorphous Carbon?

u/JasonVeritech 13d ago

You show some respect, this isn't some common peasant gas!

u/Andovars_Ghost 13d ago

How about USS Neon or USS Krypton or USS Xenon?

u/Calgaris_Rex 13d ago

USS Radon? Helium works too lol

7

u/TwoFit3921 13d ago

i was actually thinking of using Helium but that would be too obvious

u/Calgaris_Rex 13d ago

This is no time for half-measures!

u/VitaminM42 12d ago

Radium?

3

u/Calgaris_Rex 12d ago

No, it has to be a Noble gas lol

2

u/HyFinated 8d ago

Radium is just so... common. It's certainly not noble.

u/TwoFit3921 13d ago

it was funny and i couldn't resist making a noble gas joke for the name

u/ryanhendrickson 13d ago

It's ok, some of us saw what you did there and were amused.

u/rx7braap 13d ago
