Hmmm,...precursor to “Valiant”........? “Plucky”?I guess it's a precursor to that Valiant.
There is a scary movie by the same name, if that makes a difference.I'm working on cleaning up a design idea to make it buildable. It's kind of Star Trek-ish, with some ideas shamelessly stolen from a couple of neil_w's designs.
Here's the starting point:

There's a lot of things that need work before building it, but first thing's first, it needs a name.
I'm thinking this is a small to medium sized research ship, testing out experimental propulsion technology. The kind of ship that suddenly goes radio silent at the beginning of the episode and is later found adrift with the crew dead and a mysterious portal to the Dimension of Evil in the engineering section.
I'm toying with mythological names, like Prometheus.
Does the Trek universe have a precedent for naming experimental craft (e.g. XSS Whatever instead of USS Whatever)?
Oh Crap! I messed up. Picard's first command was Stargazer. His first mission commanding it was to do with the Valiant after it went through the galactic barrier. (Pocketverse).But Valiant (Picard's first command) had four nacelles, not three. I guess it's a precursor to that Valiant.
All I know is that this thread has a new opening monologue in my head now, thanks to Kuririn.
"These are the voyages of the Starship Apathy. No-one really cares where they're going".
I think it sounds like a good idea. Actually, naming craft after figures from mythology is really common. Including figures from a wider range of mythologies is a fine thing.I like the idea of giving a spaceship the name of a character from an ancient, vanished race, but I'm probably in the minority.

"USS Covid"
You can do the plasma ball in the middle as a covid virus .
...half-painted.I was thinking Apathy would fit a goonies styled ship
Brought to launch, misaligned launch lugs, forgot the wadding but launched anyway....half-painted.
Can't, or just didn't bother?I also like USS Apathy, but I can't quite convince myself to do anything with it.
And would this "BSG" be?Reminds me of a BSG episode
