"This may be the best STAR TREK TOS (The Original Series) fan-film yet! Kipleigh Brown's brilliant script perfectly captures the TOS flavor as well as being a wonderful piece of social commentary, and Vic Mignogna outdoes himself as Kirk. Bravo!"
- Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author, "FlashForward"
"This is why I fell in love with Star Trek as a little boy."
- Micheal Martin Savage
"One of the best episodes of any Trek ever! Amazing! The best thing I've watched this year."

"My heart was pounding in the last scene, and I had to wipe away a tear at the end. Magnificent!"
- Douglas Nary, Jr.
"Excellent on every level I care about. I feel like this was the best episode so far in this series. Not only worthy of network television in the 1960's or today, but is at Emmy award quality. Well done. Awesome."
- Randy Compton
"I was stunned, it was so good. I am speechless."
- Tina Hunnam
"'Ships' is heavyweight-class Trek. STC has always been professionally -- and lovingly -- executed almost beyond belief, but this episode could have been one that was green-lighted by the Great Bird and produced by Gene L. Coon himself. Salient issues, cerebral dialogue, acerbic wit, unexpected flashes of deep insight... had it all, and then some."
- Nick Saturn
"One of the best Star Trek episodes I've ever watched."
- Michel Loranger
"No spoilers, but having just watched 'What Ships Are For'... my God, people. You really do give me some hope for humanity. Thank you for embodying the dream. I now know how TOS (The Original Series) would have handled the issues of OUR day..."
-Dale McKee
