This would make a great sig line.
Yeah, but five of those are Klingon. Who *don’t * they want dead?
It would, if it wasn’t a line stolen from GTA: Vice City. If you want to sig it go right ahead, but it isn’t exactly original.
No, it was just an idle observation.
Aw. There’s only one Doper out there using something I’ve said as a sig line, and it’s me making an ass out of myself.
I’m actually in the market for a new sig, but I think I want something a little more, I don’t know, general. I’ll know it when I see it.
(Goes off to find the Doper with the sig of BraheSilver making an ass of himself)
I’m in at least two. Three, usually, but **vivalostwages ** changes her .sig so often that I don’t know if I’m in the current one or not. ph34r m3.
I keep a ph34r-cutting ph34r around for just such an emergency.
Not right now, but when I tire of it, I’ll putcha right back in along with our CogenitorBoy.
I’ll have you know, Aesiron, that because of this post of yours, I had to haul out my DVD of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and poke around in it to find out what the heck an “Oberth-class vessel” was.
(The U.S.S. Grissom, which investigated the Genesis Planet under the command of Captain Cover-Your-Ass, was I believe the first Oberth-class vessel to appear in any Star Trek movie or show. How the class came to be known as the Oberth class and not the Grissom class, I have no idea. Although I’m sure that some fanboy/fangirl/fanJ’naii will come along any time now to fill in that particular blank.)
It’s not a common ship type at all. Other than its appearance in Star Trek III, I think it only showed up in *TNG * a handful of times. It was just one of a about a dozen starship classes that Starfleet had which I memorized until First Contact was released and with it, three dozen more starship classes (Akira, Steamrunner, Centaur, Sovereign, etc) that I’ve not bothered learning yet.
That would make a great sig line!

[Geek hat on]
S.S. Antares was not a Constitution class vessel, it was a smaller ship, as evidenced by the “S.S.” when (at the time, TOS, 1st season) starships were designated “U.S.S.”
[Geek hat off]
Yeah, but it was also one of the only 3 starship types you got to choose from in the Starfleet Academy Cadet Briefing PC game. Which is the first (and thus far, only) place I’ve seen it referred to by name as the Oberth class.
I own Mr Scott’s Guide to the Enterprise, the DS9 Technical Manual, the TNG Technical Manual, the TNG Companion, almost every Star Trek: The Communicator published, and about 300 Pocket Book novels.
They were mentioned a few times in those publications.
Damn again.
I’ll just sit over here in the corner and keep my mouth shut. :o
[Swipes Weirddave’s Geek hat off, tramples it into the ground]
Ahem, U.S.S. Antares was a Starfleet vessel as shown by its U.S.S. designation. And like I said, all the ships I named were Constitution class vessels, as shown in either the Star Trek encyclopedia or on my VHS collection.
[Realises the futility of violence, picks up WD’s hat, brushes it off and replaces it]
Hey! gimmie back my hat!
The first line of the episode is “Now manuvering to come alongside cargo vessel Antares” Is that what you think Constitution class ships are? Cargo vessels? Maybe a garbage scow? Maybe you think it should be hauled away as garbage, huh?
Seriously, I just watched it and that’s the first line of the episode.
This site bears me out in a lot more detail.
Um, Long Road? If you don’t want anything to do with “people like” Aesiron, I suggest you stop opening Star Trek-related threads.
In any case, please stop POSTING in Star Trek-related threads. People enjoy these things, and don’t need to be called “nerds” whilst they do so.
