Your ship is made to be a warship. I was told we were exploring. Common sense dictates you would want to explore in an exploration cruiser.

The ship I gave is made for long range exploration. It uses a crystalline form of dilithium, they can be recharged and reused over time. The ship uses beam arrays, beam arrays have no moving parts which means high reliability, which means you can go long periods of time without maintanence.

The ship has a lot of interior space for engineering and laboratories. The very shape of the hull is meant to increase warp and quantum slipstream efficiency, for fuel efficiency. Better fuel efficiency means longer time before refueling.

The large engineering facilities mean that the ship can repair itself.

Replicators mean that you do not need food or water storage but so long as you have energy you can replicate them.

A 500 man crew is the optimum mix between too few crewmembers and too many crewmembers.

Everything about the ship I am giving you is made to do the job at hand. My ship fits like a glove, yours is made to wage war, not to explore, we all know it.

My point is, the ship will just be the way it looks. We can make it a exploration cruiser that looks like that if we wanted to.

Well also, now I see another reason why it s not a good idea to go with mine, if people saw the Hyperion, they will think about running rather then talking. Also, that means we will have all firepower we need, which will dull the plot.

I recommend 500 crew, not including troops.

I recommend 100 marines at the most. 5 man squads are the most effective.
 
OUT OF GAME: I'm fine with Endeavour(sic), but here's my 2 cents:

Pathfinder(It sounds like an exploration name)
Nautilus(20,000 Leagues Under The Sea's submarine. It was the first of it's kind)
Ranger(An obvious name)
Columbus(Again, obvious)
De Leon(See above)
Poseidon(Greek god of the Sea. Blessed people's voyages)

@ Fed: I don't like Voyager as a name. It would be kind of like we're copying Star Trek.
 
Tiberius woke up in a cot that morning. He had no idea how he'd gotten there. He slowly raised himself up and rubbed his eyes; the light beaming in his face.

"Rise and shine", a man next to him said.

"Drop dead." Tiberius sat up fully and recognized the guy's face.

"I almost did once."

"Charlie?" Tiberius stood up. "Charlie! You old son of a gun." Tiberius hugged Charlie who was now caught off guard.

"Hey Tiberius. Long time no see."

"Yeah, I had stuff to do. You an engineer now?" Tiberius noticed the insignia on Charlie's uniform.

"Yeah. Got tired of fixing Vipers. You'd better get out there, the shuttle isn't going to wait forever."

"Sure thing. See you there Charles."

Tiberius headed outside and lit up a cigarette. The smell of tobacco and fresh air cancelled eachother out.

Just then somebody bumped into him.

"Hey watch it you clu-". It was her. The brunette from the night before. The one he swore he knew.

"Well excuse me", she said. Tiberius fell like a jerk for that one.

She began to walk away. He knew that he knew her, he just needed a name.

"Excuse me, miss. I didn't catch your name." Tiberius stuck out his hand.

She looked him dead in the eyes and said, "I don't believe I dropped it." She then proceeded to walk to the shuttle.

Suprised, he did the same.
 
Out of Game:

Apollo

Veni ( I came )

Vidi ( I saw )

Vici ( I conquered )

Caesar
 
Shin finished his breakfast and then went to the cockpit, he then ordered,

"Dock with the ship HMS Scott of the Antarctic,"

"Yes sir,"

He then jumped into the cockpit of his Mobile Suit which is in fighter mode, it is named Victum. It is black, gold and scarlet in color. He started the systems and did the pre-flight checks, Shin ordered,

"Open the blast door,"

"Blast door opened sir,"

He flew his MS out of the gunship, then blast doors closed and were sealed afterwards.
 
He boarded the shuttle that was now waiting on a few more peope; including the Captain. Tiberius sat in a chair and noticed something. Mini-televisions built into the back of each seat. He turned the one in front of him on and flipped it to the news.
 
sitting in his seat Razor looked over and saw of all people Tiberius sitting next to him. "Hey what's going on Tiberius long time no see."
 
"You saw me last night. In the bar. Not that much of a long time." Tiberius took a puff of his cigarette.

Razor had the window seat and Tiberius had the middle. Just now boarding the shuttle was the brunette. She sat as far away from Tiberius as she could. Then Charlie stepped on and immediately sat next to Tiberius.
 
"I'm good. Name's Charlie." Charlie stuck out his hand.

Tiberius continued to watch the news.
 
"We go way back. I met him o-." Charlie stopped himself. "Well, we go way back."

Tiberius turned the channel up to bring attention to it.

News: "In other news, the war rages on. Two ships have become particularly famous. The SSS Aggressor, and the SSS Gargantuan."
 
" I know of the SSS Aggressor me and Omega go way back. hmmmmm.....I've never heard of the SSS Gargantuan though have you two?"
 
"It was a captured ship that we decided to use. It's actually an ISC ship." Charlie looked at Razor. "Were you there?"

News: "In sports, the Pythons have won their first victory of the season in Pyramid over the Titans."
 
" I was the first person to meet the ISC they just attacked me that might be the very same ship we did capture it later though."
 
"Interesting. Anyways, it'll be a pleasure serving with you."

News: "Tensions within the Alpha quadrant heat up as rumors of a civil war spread throughout the media.

As far as election goes, the two candidates are Maria Omega and the current chairman, Gabriel Flerax. It's a neck and neck race for control of the Senate."
 
"ugh politics. I never like it never will always someone trying to lie or cheat into office better than the other person."
