Ah, that reminds me of the old Battletech Hollander:

pretty much ...Or something like the UNSC ships from the Halo game ( They are basically a flying MAC cannon) Which would be awesome for destroyer designs.

Once I get my LT "groove" on, I plan on trying to build an empire. Slowly, of course.

In the end, I plan to build myself a massive capital ship that is all about defense and sensors (if the game has them). (a CC ship)

I will be doing the ordering and not the fighting.

Voted Battle Frigates/Destroyers... knowing me and my waffling, the accuracy of this prediction stands in serious doubt.

To explain my vote: I reckon EVE's Sacrilege probably belongs in this category? In EVE it is categorized a heavy assault cruiser.

It was my dream ship: neither massive nor small, but tough as nails and capable of delivering a beautifully brutal hammering in the form of missile barrages. And its lines are IMO pure sexiness.
I never did fly it, but I hope to model it into LT.
Should be buckets more fun flying that beauty in a single player universe than trying to keep it from 'sploding in EVE would have been.

In CK2 (where I just passed the 2000 hours played mark) My favorite playstyle is as immortal kingmaker (I call it Emperor Poolboy style) . I make myself a lowly count, throw on a special mod Trait I made, which gives me absurd skill stats and immortal youth, and I serve my liege as the most powerful vassal (often being the single most powerful character in the game) and watch as my liege and generations of their successors expand under my guiding hand until I feel the Empire is too big and then I step back and watch it split and fall apart. I never take direct control, but the royal family rules by my will and whim, and if for some reason I want someone else to rule, it won't be long before they do.

To be honest, I would give myself even less apparent power if I could. I would be a courtier or peasant or court Gardener or pool boy.

In LT, I would like to do much the same sort of thing.

You have just described the INTP power fantasy in its purest form.

And yet Whenever i take an MBTI, I always end up as ENTJ or INTJ In a more flexible game I would certainly go for a different style of play, but when the game is politics, the neurax worm in the skull of the emperor is pretty damn fun.

I dont get the reference of the cartoon though.

It's from a webcomic, Gunnerkrigg Court. If you're into webcomics I'd highly recommend it - otherwise, no worries. On the off-chance you'll read it I shouldn't explain the reference >.>

Not to go too far off-course here, but taking versions of the MBTI is fraught with peril.

Unless it was one of the official proctored versions, it is insanely easy to start answering the questions not as the person you actually are today, but as the person whom you think you ought to be, or wish you were, or the person that others say you should be. And as soon as that happens, the results start drifting away from accuracy.

An NT result (particularly in the temperament theory version of the MB model) is good enough to generate the "I could tell them how to do it right" feeling. An xNTJ, though, is usually more directive than an INTP. NTJs just cannot help themselves; they believe they must go hands-on or suffer inefficiency and project failure. An ENTJ will do it by building (and leading [briefly]) a human system; an INTJ will do it by fixing the broken part of a technical system (because everyone else is incompetent); but either way, it's their nature to show others how to do it right.

INTPs are more satisfied to be the hidden architect of plans. It's cool to watch those plans carried out (usually by xxSP types) as long as they don't have to jump in themselves -- that would just be a distraction from developing even more strategically clever plans.

And to desperately attempt to loop this back to the actual thread: it could be fun to see the typical ship designs of, if not specific personality types, at least people from each of the four temperaments.

I picked "Large/Capital industrial ships (huge freighters, mining barges with support fleet, Mobile base with C&C)"

I've had similar in EVE Online and it's my preferred play style to manufacture for my own purposes.

My ideal gameplay experience would be to set up a base of operations with a large manufacturing factory ship that has bays for mini barges as well as exploration ships and research etc... kind of like a Deep Space station that once setup is hard to move but all the other ships can move around instead.

You mirror my gameplay style quite well.

I had this same problem when doing mbti a while ago until I realized that I was doing just what you describe. I came back some years later and took the same test again with a conscious effort to respond according to what (I believed) I was rather than what I wanted to be and was both heartened and unnerved to see I got the same result, if a little milder on the scores. Since then I distrust MBTIs - I don't think they're much more than a curiosity!

Then again, though none of us like to be put into a category, we love to identify with types we admire. In my case I like the INTJ type so much because there's not much worse than having to take the lead in a group because the other members are incompetent, but also not much better than being able to do your part properly because the leadership is capable.
