    I think I would want a T6 Oberth, but maybe also a T6 Luna.

    I'm really against teeny tiny ships getting upgrades to max level. You can only put so much into a canoe afterall.

    I've got a better idea. Make it a Pilot ship - it's small, easy to rationalize it being agile. And, best of all, we could finally utilize one of the decent Perpetual designs - the Tahoe class - as a base to design the ship. It wouldn't take much molding and manipulating to make it a perfect skin for a Nova variant.

    You could probably afford to increase the damage bonus to torps as it scales for Aux to something like %20 or more if it's going to require 100 power to hit that point. Most consoles at Mk XIV offer greater than 10% increases, and many of those offer more than one benefit on top of it.

    A free Spread 3 seems like overkill, but I guess that depends on how it behaves post-S13. If it takes a hit like FAW does it could be fine. The 5km range further reins into being reasonable.

    I think the Luna would make a better Command Science ship, honestly. Larger, more powerful canonically. I'd rather see a Luna Intel ship but there's enough Intel Sci ships as it is and I like Command well enough. The Nova just doesn't really suit Command.

    Nova for Pilot!

    Command could be the Deep Space Science Vessel, if they ever decide that the space shoe is suitable for Tier-6-ification.

    We already got a Tier 6 Defiant, Tier 6 B'Rel, Tier 6 NX-01, a Tier 6 Daedelus and the Tier 5 Fleet Nova. You think the Nova will be the one ship that makes Cryptic says "No more, this is getting too silly!"?

    Dunno about making it a Command ship. The majority of Sci officers tend to focus on space magic, with torps as an additional secondary damage source. I'd love me a T6 Nova, or a T6 Wells, but I'd prefer them to be Temporal. Failing that, let's have ship visuals in that you can modify the appearance of the ship in its entirety, a la WoW transmog.

    I know we already have some of this functionality in the visuals tab for shields, impulse and deflector, but I'd love to fly my Nautilus, but using the Wells kitframe, or my Mirror Nova. Make it cost Zen to enable it per ship if it presents a programming challenge. Same cost as a Fleet module or somesuch.

    I'm not sure if it should be command or pilot, but I do know that if it's on a Lt station (especially engineering) it won't get used.

    I'm thinking:
    Lt. Cmdr Tactical
    Lt. Cmdr Engineer/spec
    Cmdr Science
    Lt Science
    Ensign Science/Uni

    Maintaining the existing console layout, the trait I would choose would be a scaling resistance buff to hull and shields that increases as your hull decreases.

    That said, definitely +1 T6 Nova.

    So one wants Command, one Pilot, one Temporal. Put me down for Intel. I know we already have Intel science ships, but that's only on the Fed side. The Research & Multi-Mission ships were both Temporal, so I don't see them doing that a third time.
  • lnbladelnblade Member Posts: 410 Arc User
    Yeah, I agree that a T6 Nova would be better suited to being a sci/Pilot ship rather than Command.

    If there was going to be a sci/Command ship, the Nebula would've been the best candidate considering how big and cruiser-like it is. Alas, Temporal was the new gimmick when the T6 Nebula was released. I'm not sure what existing non-T6 sci ships they could use for Command now. A T6 DSSV maybe? Or the Luna, I guess, but I think intel would fit the ship better thematically. Although the devs haven't shown any indication that they're going to do T6 versions of any of the old free T5 ships, so who knows.

    But yes, T6 Nova please. It's among the ships that are way overdue for T6 treatment (and the skins are in desperate need of remastering)

    Mark me down for a true Universal T6 Nova.

    - Universal Spec ship abilities.

    I suspect the Strategist secondary will eventually become a primary, so maybe a T6 sci/Strategist Nova eventually?

    Sadly, Sci-intel in a small, nimble, ship is already covered by the Dauntless class.

    Well yeah, plus the Scryer and the Pathfinder. But I'm anticipating Romulan & Klingon versions, and they have none at all.

    Can't help but think it's a little ironic that I'll have a physical model of it before an (STO) in-game model.

    Why is it ironic?

    To keep on topic, I wouldn't fly the Nova myself but as a canon design I'd hope it would get a T6 upgrade at some stage - as reyan01 said though, I'd suspect that the Wells (especially given the constant temporal theme we have going on) would seem more likely to come first to fill the 'smaller Science ship' niche.
  • lordsteve1lordsteve1 Member Posts: 3,492 Arc User
    I'm gonna keep bumping this topic because @reyan01 deserves his T6 Nova/Rhode Island!!!!!
    He's been waiting an wishing for one since.....well.......forever. And every other canon ship has a T6 version besides a few minor ones (and the Miranda = guaranteed promo ship if ever i saw one)

    Cryptic - MAKE IT SO!!!!!!!!!!

    word on the player grapevine is that a T6 miranda is actually coming soonish, along with the miradorn raider and husnock warship - take that with a big grain of salt, though​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    The Science Vessel with Command seating should be a T6 Luna. The T6 Nova should have Pilot seating IMHO.

    I dunno. I have moments where I think I need a T6 Nova with Intel seating and a cloaking device.

    NEED.

    They could Update the Ha'nom/Ha'feh for Romulans along side the Rhode Island or Luna.

    Klingons I think have sufficient Science Ship Access now. I'd much rather see a Kamarag, Vor'Cha, Vo'quv, or an Orion Ship brought up to T6. (Of my 13 characters 9 are KDF or KDF allied, so not a Fed fanboy by any means)

    Oh, nothing would annoy me more than seeing the Feds get a zippy little Nova and seeing the Romulan equivalent be the giant Ha'nom beast. I would rather see no Romulan ship added than have an updated Ha'nom. I could see it as a Command Science ship, but it would have to be at 1/6th scale to be flyable.
  • koppsterkoppster Member Posts: 179 Arc User
    The Ha'nom steers like the Titanic. Please no T6. Do a new proper rom Sci ship.

    I think everyone knows my feeling on this by now.

    And as a footnote, I've been waiting for one for rather a lot longer than 'since Delta Rising'.

    In the meantime, Eaglemoss are releasing a model of the Rhode Island next month - I have it on order and will look forward to receiving a physical model of my favourite ship. Can't help but think it's a little ironic that I'll have a physical model of it before an (STO) in-game model.

    Dude, I feel ya on that. I do think that all the remaining ships that are T5 or lower only should move up.

    Cool that Eaglemoss is doing that. Personally, I'm in a similar situation with the Miranda. Let me explain:

    In 2003ish, the company Diamond Select released a 16 inch model of the Enterprise from Wrath of Khan. For the time, the model was great, had lights and sounds. Kinda like the older Playmates models, but way better looking (I SUCK at model kits so this is the next best thing for me).

    So I waited anxiously for the Reliant, figuring she had to be not far behind right?

    Well, I'm still waiting. BUT it has been confirmed by DS that the Reliant is the next ship due. So either late this year or some time next year we should get it.

    I waited almost 15 years for it, and now despite that, it looks like DS will deliver on my favorite ship before Cryptic can. That is hilarious and sad to me at the same time.

    I really hope you can get your Nova though, I remember fond times flying the Fleet T5U a long time ago!

    T6 Nova, Star Trek The Motion Picture Enterprise Refit design upgrade and a re-release of the T6 Connie to go with a T6 Miranda updated Model to represent the movie era. Call it a Legacy pack. And some new interiors, a Nova Class bridge and Undiscovered Country Era bridge pack for our 23rd century ships- Stargazer, Excelsior, Connie refit, Miranda, and Ambassador all deserve time period interiors.

  • potasssiumpotasssium Member Posts: 1,226 Arc User
    I'll be honest the only reason I brought up the Ha'nom & Ha'feh is it in the hopes that it would give me new Hull options for my T6 Kara

    I picked up a few mirror ships for admiralty recently. One of my pick ups was the consolation prize ship - Mirror Nova.
    A slick little ship, with a nice skin.

    Anyway, mark me down again for a "Choose your own spec" Nova.

    Heh - that would be awesome. I would, of course, have to purchase one of each variant!

    Seriously though - I wonder what the chances are that they might, one day, create tokens that do the same to ships as specialisation manuals do to BOFFS. ;)

    Well I seem to remember the JHAS or JHSS promo ship was a choice of command or intel spec on opening the box.. Not 100% sure on that though.
    Re-Specialization tokens would be an interesting way of doing it as well.

    Would love to have a t6 version of the Nova. From the picture above there seems to be at least two versions of the Nova class so why not ?

    The Rhode Island is already in the game. Just not a T6 version. I guess they don't want my money. *shrug*
