Random Question, @Sayle - are pulsed phase cannons energy bolts, or the normal beam weapons?

Either way, I imagine I'll be voting to upgun the Bulwark as much as I can.

Beam weapons are kind of one of star treks signature things, there are occasional blaster bolts, but largely its multicolored beams.

IDK, felt like posting this \/

I picked Thunderchild for another reason, namely giving the crew an ideal of courage and sacrfice to live up to. This ship is meant to wade into the fiercest part of the fighting and take everything the enemy can throw at it to protect others.

Honestly only half joking, naming battleships after historical generals and admirals wouldn't be a bad option. Anyways:

[X] UES Warspite
 
The HMS Thunder Child was destroyed taking out two martian war machines. While certainly a noble ship, I'd rather not tempt luck by naming this after a ship that was destroyed in its first (and only) battle against aliens.

Yeah, but Disruptors are represented as bolts as often as they are beams, and the Defiant has pulsed phaser bolts as, like, it's signature thing, so I was hoping we might get whatever it is the Defiant used to make phaser bolts practical early.
 
[X] UES Thunderchild

A famous ship iconic for throwing itself at genocidal aliens so that innocents could live to see another day? It's the perfect blend of a complete willingness to throw down to the death without losing sight of what it's fighting for.

Something about naming a Star Trek ship "Thunderchild" strikes me as really weird and off. Like naming it "Millenium Falcon" or "Galactica".

I don't like Warspite as a name, it feels fundamentally un-starfleet.

This ship is fundamentally non-starfleet. Frankly, after the war, we'll have a hell of a time trying to convince the brass to keep her in service. As a fleet-in-being hunk of all-you-can-eat buffet of guns we can park at a colony at the fringes to tell any Orion having bright ideas: "No."

A protective connotation works well for our Starfleet.

This also feels right in memory of those who lost their lives there.

Ehh, its up to personal preference, beams are cooler than bolts in my opinion; and they differentiate star trek from other sci-fi. The beams are so cool honestly, though that's mostly me absolutely adoring STO as the games beam weapons are pretty; and even in the shows they are very striking visually.

Honestly if the option was there I'd absolutely have voted to name this battleship UES Dreadnought.

Sure, it's not the total paradigm shift the original Dreadnought represented, but the Bulwark project is prototyping the weapon systems of the future. Also, a symbol of our refusal to just roll over, even against a technologically superior foe - a fine use of "Fear Nothing," IMO.
