The TOS Constitution Cruiser

Hi, today I'm here with a new idea! First off, this is strictly based on my opinion! Now that that's out of the way, lets get right in to it.
So, whenever I use my Constitution Class Cruiser (the TOS version) I really wish that it was, well, better. Then, I came up with this idea. So, ya know who the retrofit phasers (the blue ones that come with the TOS cruiser) level up with you (where it shows the items level, it has the infinity sign)?
What if the TOS Constitution Cruiser was like those phasers? What if it was a ship that gained levels with your character? Meaning, if your character is a lieutenant commander, the cruiser has the stats of a lieutenant commander level cruiser. A crazy idea, I know. Any way, lets get into all the specs of it (the ones that I have already)!
Lieutenant:
Weapon Slots: 2 fore, 1 aft
Lieutenant Commander:
Weapon Slots:2 fore, 2 aft
Commander:
Weapon Slots: 3 fore, 3 aft
Captain:
Weapon Slots: 4 fore, 3 aft
Rear Admiral, Lower Half/Vice Admiral:
Weapon Slots: 4 fore, 4 aft
I'm not sure about the whole total hull, shield capacity, crew, device slots, console slots, speed, turn rate (I have a feeling that speed and turn rate would be the same as they are now) stuff for each level though.
It would still come with the retrofit phasers and photon torpedoes.
If you could help out with the total hull, shield capacity, crew, device slots, console slots, speed, turn rate stats, that would be a great help. Thanks!
Another little idea. It would have one hanger, at the most two. Notice the door at the back? That's where the hanger is.

Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
Rules aside, your idea is good. To be honest, I wish all ships were like that, so that all ships would automatically scale with the player's level, upgrading to their refit, T5 retrofits at level 40-45 (I suppose some would have 2 retrofits, a standard one at level 40, like an Akira retrofit without the hanger, and an improved one at level 45, like an Akira retrofit with the hanger at level 45), Fleet Tier 5 at level 50, Fleet Tier 5-U/Tier 6 at level 55, and at level 60, Fleet Tier 6. It'd be a little more complicated, but you get the idea.
Winning.
Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
I would be inclined though, to limit leveling ships to T5. once the ship reaches T5, you would then have the option to upgrade to T5u. T6 should be their own beast.
Been said, means squat! Show it to me on a legally binding contract from CBS.
We've been told by Cryptic Dev's from the start, that CBS barely let them put it in the game to begin with, let alone let it be anything but a starting level ship.
The story is that one of the early ship designers, went ahead with creating the ship for the game, without actually knowing that the CBS Licensing Lawyer was against the idea (for whatever reason) and then it was offered to GameStop as an exclusive bonus when buying the box set from them, again before it was officially approved.
The deal was signed and CBS couldn't back out of letting the Constitution in, because one of the guys who owned GameStop (James McCurry) said he'd raise holy-hell and refuse to let any of his stores sell the game, if the contract wasn't validated.
The rest is pretty much well known history now...
I Was A Trekkie Before It Was Cool ... Sept. 8th, 1966 ... Not To Mention Before Most Folks Around Here Were Born!
Forever a STO Veteran-Minion
Have to agree with Rattatatatler
Well... I needed one that was unique as someone already claimed the Star Trek related one so... Indy it is!
Winning.
