Obviously, details are hazy at the moment since I'm not on the Closed Beta, but I think I've come to a decision on what I'd like my ship to be...
It'll be called the Tempest (easy to associate me with it since it's T for Tempest and T for Tudor).
I've got the pre-order bonus of being able to assign it an NX designation. I believe the registry number is auto-generated but if I could have anything it would be 90210 just for giggles
Being in the Exploration & Diplomacy division, a Cruiser seems most appropriate - either a Standard or Exploration variant offer the most balanced abilities/role it seems, but if the Battle Cruiser has significant advantages then I would prefer that.
Anyhow, only ten days to go and I've just booked that day off work to dedicate my time to the final frontier
