I would love to see a future model of the classic NX-01. Maybe a bit larger and a 25th century rendition with upgraded slots and weaponry.

Doubt they will seeing that the NX already has a T6 version.
Indeed.....just reminded me of a forumite who accused Cryptic of ripping off the NX with the Akira design......should've heard the jaw drop when I kindly replied that the Akira was in First Contact in '96.
Looks no further than the iconic ships pack for example. Great looking ships and many(me included) will use them for that, but they are very disadvantaged
Send them a list in the feedback forum. I don't think any T6 needs a balance pass or upgrade, and they're far from mediocre. It's your equipment that makes the ship, not the other way around.
Sure all T6 ships may be "fine" to do anything but some are the bottom of the barrel by a good margin.
Like I'd never recommend anyone to get the Samsar with an epic phoenix token or buy the T6 excel.
The ship you like is subjective to you and you alone. I run the Samsar with a Polaron/Drain set-up and it does very well. The T6 Excel is one of the few ships I don't own, but as I said, it's the equipment that matters.
That person must never seen First Contact then as the Akira-class (the USS Thunderchild to be exact) was one the 3 hero ships in the battle, the others being the Defiant (literally not just a ship of that class but the USS Defiant itself) and of course the Enterprise-E and the Akira-class was also the only one that showed up in DS9 or Voyager in any detail for ship-classes introduced in First Contact (the federation ship classes that is).
And the Millennium Falcon. Don't forget her.
Did you look their layouts? to place gears, consoles especially, you need specific slots and then there is all the rest base stats, the usefulness of the console etc. Also dont forget the sits for boff skills
Some of us take any ship and work with what's there and get a very good ship. We don't chase DPS or parse for anything except curiosity on occasion (at least I do).
I happen to like just about any ship out there and I like to switch up just to do something different. It gets rather boring to always fly one flavor of ship all the time, chasing DPS.
Yes I do look at everything, then I decide what is best for that ship....in other words, I experiment and I don't follow 'meta'; but you're missing the big picture, and that's that the equipment (and Boff skills) make the ship. 'Best' is utterly subjective. I will not take one person's opinion at face value in this game because I can and do like to make my own mind up. One person's bad is another's awesome. There is only 1 'bad' set of ships in this game and those are the Dysons and the fixed cannons, otherwise I'll drag the 'best' out of any ship.
Yeah, I made a Protonic Polaron for mine. Nearly bankrupted me in-game upgrading it all!
I got the original during it's initial run, but bought the Fed pack. Have to be creative with all the consoles as power is at more of a premium, especially if you're not packing Energy Siphon and Red Matter.
I do like my for fun ships when I feel like just going out and having fun in the RomPatrols or DSEs.
Indeed. My 'for fun' is taking the T1 NX into Episodes and having a 'canon' battle.
When I speak of a "hero-ship" I mean movie making term aka a detailed model meant to be seen up close and in focus. Same way you have "hero make-up" for the princible characters when seen in a close up, while for the extra you can have as little as slip-on mask that wouldn't fool anyone up close but if seen from a distance and in low light it's "good enough" (like in the courtroom scene in "Undiscovered Country").
Sometimes the fact that a particular ship fits the character is more important than seating and whatnot. Every phoenix event I try to get a Samsar for my Kobali character because that ship just fits the concept best for instance (I already have the uniforms from the phoenix box btw) though the odds of getting an epic token are practically nonexistent. I even fly T5s with some characters because they fit them better than any T6 I have.

Well it's about "future version" of the NX/Unity-class hence the talk about the Akira that's essentially a 24c remake of the NX (in-universe that is, out of universe the NX is the Akira modified as much as the designers could get away with to make look more like a 22c ship).
Since we got the Akira and it's T6 variant we essentially have a "future" version of the NX-class, a TOS era version is missing sure but that's only one really and one could argue that NX-refit is the TOS era version.
In 2014-2016 I'd do a bunch of advanced PVEs in the T1 Constitution or NX, and would do well, and not die....even got various PM's, telling me how impressed they were with me o.o
There's tons of differences, and it's not a Akira rip off.
Oh my gosh thank you! Saying they are the same ship is a pet peeve of mine. They are not the same. They don't even look alike, unless you squint really hard AND imagine the NX flipped over and then the nacelles bent up in the middle. Which makes no sense. "Flip it over and there you go" is the silliest argument I've ever heard. These two ships look alike as much as ANY two of most of the ships from the entire IP. They both have a saucer section, an engineering section, and two nacelles, and are both a grayish color. That is it. So did the constitution.
It's like saying a white 2015 Chevrolet Impala is a future version of a white 2005 Chevrolet Cavelier. They both are sedans, have engines, and have four wheels. That's it. But they are not the same car.
Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

Wow, thank you. Saying they are the same ship is a pet peeve of mine. They are not the same ship.
