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.

    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.

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

            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.
