Here are the ships I picked for the 8 player Mega Battle.
From Left to right: The USS Courageous (Courageous Class) The USS Archetype (Sovereign class Archetype Refit) USS Akira (Akira Class) and the USS Enterprise E (Sovereign class)
Why I chose these ships: I chose the Sovereign (Enterprise) because Its a good all round heavy Cruiser and Patrick Stuart voiced Picard in the game.
The Sovereign class Archetype Refit was my second pick due to its heavier armour and its awesome speed at warp.
The Akira was my third pic for two reasons first its an awesome ship to look at, second because it is small, agile and has has 11 torpedo Launchers 6 forward and 5 aft (After you buy the upgrade for aft launchers) and is one of the few ships that you can buy the homing torpedoes for, meaning it will rarely miss its target. It is one of my favourite ships and reminds me of a Jack Russell dog small and aggressive.
Finally I picked the Courageous. Its a Next Gen future ship with quantum torpedoes for those pesky Borg encounters, its forward Pulse Phasers make it awesome against any vessel and it runs like shit off a shovel and due to its compact size it is highly manoeuvrable and comes with a sanctioned Romulan clocking device.
