Happy April Fool’s Day. In reality I love all Starfleet ships equally. Except for the USS Equinox. That’s a garbage ship for garbage people.

    I don’t get it, what are “S” and “F” tiers?

      It’s poking fun at tier lists for game characters. A tier list is just a list of things given a letter grade where F is the worst grade and S is the top grade above A.

        Thanks for the information but…

        S is the top grade above A

        why is S above A?

          S stands for superb or superior. It comes from Japanese and UK class grading systems.

            and UK class grading systems

            Uh… I’m British. There’s no S here.

            Thanks though.

              So the source i read maybe was wrong about the origin. It still means superb or super and is above A rankings.

                I always thought it originated from comic books where nerds would rank powers of various heroes and the S tier was named for Superman because he was in a tier of his own.

                  Nah, it comes from Japanese grading systems and was then introduced to the West via video games.
