    The Excelsior has proven to be a rugged and versatile design, the fact it's been in service for over a century says how effective the ship still is. Excelsiors are the workhorse of the fleet and that is reflected in it's long service with Starfleet.

    Or the budget of the effects department using existing stuff to cut costs for the shows. :D

      Ok, now we know this guy is a troll. The magnificent Excelsior is ugly but he Universe looks amazing? Pffffffffttttttt.

      The E*******r is a stupid, overbalanced, accordion necked bastardisation of the fantastic designs that came before it like the NX, Conni Refit, Cardenas, Newton, Miranda, Constellation, Kelvin, and so on.

      The Universe is the future. It's a insight into what would happen if technology advanced to the point where nacelles and pylons didn't need to be in balance with the saucer.​​
      The Universe looks like the ship equivalent of hitting the "randomize" button in the STO costume editor.

      Agreed. It looks like a normal Fed ship run over by a steamroller, Wile E. Coyote style.

      WRONG. The enterprise J is one of the most better designs and futuristic looking from a canon perspective. As such it represents the future flagship of Star Trek. Most of the time those who hate that ship in game are jealous since they can't afford the EC to buy it.​​

        The Nautilus is a temporal ship designed for one purpose only: to go back in time and ensure it gets designed a different way.
      • starswordcstarswordc Member Posts: 10,963 Arc User
        The best description I saw for the Nautilus was "LOL space wheelbarrow". :D
        "Great War! / And I cannot take more! / Great tour! / I keep on marching on / I play the great score / There will be no encore / Great War! / The War to End All Wars"

        The Nautilus is absolutely ridiculous. Such a silly design, hard to believe someone thought that people would actually like that.

        My problem with the Nautilus is they gave it the flange around the middle to go with the other 26th Century Temporal Ships. And made it come off as more of a evolution of the Hope Class (One of the Research Science Vessel skins) more than the Daedalus.

        If anything to could have made the central primary hull more sharp edged down center, removed the flange on the secondary hull and made it part of the "Spine" of the bottom half (the one shared with the curvature of the primary) for the dark visual hull material that all of 26th Century Ships use. Maybe make the Primary Hull more ellipsoid/oblate spheroid shaped for the main axis? = () vs the current 0 because right now the profile of the ship, the engines overshadow the overall shape to a degree to me.

        Nice to see today's update.
        This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

        Agreed. The Nova is totally deserving of said update.
        Still feel like a new model is going to be introduced some time in the future with the eternal ensign playing captain in a featured episode.

        Well I like it because it's hull and saucer represent a nautilus, however I find the nautilus design to be the better design out of the c-store temporal ships which look like pancakes with nacelles attached, and the 31st century temporal ships look terribly generic.

        Doesn't everyone?

        I mean, what redeeming qualities does the Nova have? It's trait could be "Improved Paperweight" with it's unique console being an actual doorstop.

        Jokes aside, I believe it is a matter of apathy, not hate. I'm sure Cryptic's view of the Nova is "meh". Maybe if you made a thread on Reddit and got it bumped every day for a week they would make a new or updated Nova. That would probably more productive than lamenting on the "official" forums that receives no substantial dev interactions.

        Honestly, I love the design. It's such a unique look that actually works IMO.

        Pretty much everyone's reaction to that ship is "meh." It's just a pygmy sovereign that was squeezed down smaller digitally.

        I'd rather get the Norway first as it isn't ingame at all, but a revamped T6 Nova and/or Rhode Island would be great.​​

        I guess it seems to be agreed that the Samsar is the universally excepted 'worst of the worst.'

        The Resolute is off the hook.

        I will also submit that there is one ship that's been forgotten that is also worse then the Resolute. I give you, the steaming pile of Mediocrity that is the Concorde Command Battlecruiser.

        This floating hunk of space garbage has a Lt. Universal that seems to make it better then the Resolute, but it can still only slot up to lt. level Tactical abilities while the Resolute despite it's restrictions can still run FAW III. The Concorde also doesn't have the Weapon Systems Efficiency Cruiser command which definitely sucks.

        As bad as the Concorde is though, I don't think it can dethrone the Samsar as the worst of the worst.

        New Orleans as a tactical ship could be interesting, it would compliment the operations based Galaxy/Andromeda and the science based Nebula/Sulivan classes.

        It's not a great ship but it's still pretty fun to fly. I recommend it to anyone who already has it via the temporal pack. For variety purposes, I'll be changing a character over to it permanently soon.

        Im in agreement, i think the NO would make a good heavy escort. Size wise she is about the size of an intrepid just a lot wider. If i remember right the pods on top are supposed to be beam projectors similar to a lance and large capacity burst torpedo tubes. Simply making it a high health escort with decent turnrate with a special torpedo/beam lance type experimental weapon that fires from the pods would pretty much nail it.

        Experimental Rapid Reload ORdinance System aka E.R.R.O.R.S - When ever you activate a beam/torpedo skill the reload system will apply a copy of it to the experimental weapon. Weapon system fires 10k phaser damage and 10k Kinetic damage every 10 seconds while not having a copied ability active appears as a DBB shot and single photon torpedo visual. If BFAW has been triggered it will fire a wide phaser lance blast from pods, if BO has been triggered it will fire a piercing lance shot from both pods. If HYT is triggered it will fire a string of torpedos, if TS has been triggered it will fire a TS.

        And simply make the DBB hard point the front of the pods on the NO. When used on other ships, the effects fire from standard DBB/Torpedo tubes so visuals are maintained.

        *In the wiki it says they are sensor pods but meh this is more intresting then scanning eh?*

        Temporal Science Vessel is basically the ultimate form of space magic. No wonder Q, as the ultimate Space Wizard Alien, likes it.

        Exactly. It’s labeled a battlecruiser in the stats but with a cruiser weapons layout. I would like to see a much better turn rate and a 5/3 weapons layout.

        However, as I’ve mentioned in other threads, most ugly, for me, goes to the Fed and Romulan Miracle Worker Ships. Most notably to the Fed ships. Even a universal console slot isn’t enough for me to buy those ships.
      • avoozuulavoozuul Member Posts: 3,196 Arc User
        The console layout is also like a cruiser since it has a heavy bias on engineering and only balanced in tactical and science at 5/3/3 just like a regular cruiser. Warships usually have 4 to 5 tactical console slots, and battlecruisers at most 4 tactical console slots.
