Suggestion: Yesterday's Enterprise bundle

I would like to inspire a TNG: Yesterdays Enterprise Bundle.
I have recently seen that episode and instantly thought:

"The Federation and the Klingons at War...
Federation loosing...
wow, this is STO !!!";)

Whatever... i would like to think with you guys about a "Yesterday's Enterprise" bundle consisting of things that appear in that episode. I don't add the Ambassador Class, because there are already enough threats about the Ambassador, this one shall not be one of them.
I'm going to update this as soon as i get some good ideas.

First: the Uniforms:
I haven't found a good picture of them but they are very similar to the TNG Uniforms we already have in the game. Except that the collar is closed:
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050915150261/memoryalpha/en/images/d/d7/Ye_picard_and_data.jpg
Here the original one:
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061127073860/memoryalpha/en/images/f/fc/Picard2367.jpg

Aditionally these Uniforms had black cuffs
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080327235327/memoryalpha/en/images/5/5c/Dan_Koko%2C_Yesterdays_Enterprise.jpg
As you can see in the picture above, officers where wearing Belts with Phasers.

Enlisted Crewmen where wearing another kind of belt:
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080327222959/memoryalpha/en/images/f/f1/Garvey%2C_Yesterdays_Enterprise.jpg
Both Belts feature a TNG Phaser pistol and a golden Starfleet insignia. I think that adding more
Belts cannot be wrong.

I must say that i like that uniform very much because it gives a strict and militaristic impression but stays still TNG like.


Second: the Ship
The second object i would like to have is not that apparent but always existent in that episode, the Ship itself which is external the same Galaxy class but from what people (mostly Tasha Yar) are saying it's performance is different to the Galaxy Class vessel we know.
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090624203560/memoryalpha/en/images/d/df/USS_Enterprise-D_firing_phaser_array.jpg
I think that there are several ways this ship could be included into STO.
First: Light and fast version
Just make it a Assault Cruiser or T5 Excelsior skin with no Saucer Seperation.

Second: the massive Battleship.
Crew 2000
Inertia 3/4 of the T5 Galaxy Class
Turning Rate 3/4 of the T5 Galaxy Class
Hull 4/3 of the T5 Galaxy

BOFF Stations:
1X Tac Lt.Cmdr.
1X Eng Cmdr.
1x Eng Lt.Cmdr.
1x Sci Lt.

Consoles:
Tac: 3x
Eng: 4x
Sci: 1x

Weapon slots:
5 Fore
4 Aft

Specials:
- Extra shield capacity +3000 (just an estimate)
- No Saucer Seperation (no civilians on board).

Third: Medium version
Just add the Galaxy X with a optional standart Galaxy Skin (no Saucer Seperation).

The second version would fit with that 2000 crew of which Tasha Yar was talking about and the 2x shield capacity of an ambassador ship (of which we do not know how much that is but i think something between a T3 Excelsior and a T4 Galaxy).
I think it would fit more to that we have seen on screen, a massive and slow but very powerful Battleship, capable to take out 3 Battlecruisers at once (something like an anti T5 Excelsior cruiser.)


Thrid: The Bridge
This Bridge is much more darker and grimmer than the original Enterprise - D Bridge.
Only the Captain sits in the middle first officer stands behind at the Tactical with the Tac officer.
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050915145838/memoryalpha/en/images/4/4f/Enterprise-d_bridge_alternate.jpg


I think this bundle would fit very well into this game, what do you guys think of it?
Constructive criticism is very welcome.


Thank you for reading

    missing the ent c era uniforms, ambassador class, etc... lol. The alternate present stuff is cool and so is the ship idea, but the basic tier 4 galaxy in game is a ship that has had at least 3 major refits since the galaxy from the tng era, so even that war time galaxy class would be quite outclassed by now. Another refit might have been in 2409, and thats why we have the tier 5 galaxy too.

    I'm totally with you on the uniforms and the bridge, though I think we are already covered with the galaxy class...

    It would be super cool if they did a bundle with the Ambassador Class when it arrived.. ^_^

    Picard said in that episode that the war broke out more than 20 years ago, which suggests that the ship has been build under an complete different premise than the galaxy class we know.

    So if this ship would be updated with 25th century technonlgy it would be a real beast.

    Does anyone have an idea about a Klingon K'Vort-class battle cruiser?
    I think that this was the first time these ships where mentioned, if i remember correctly.

    I'd love this.

    The Galaxy Bridge in game already fits it, all it needs is to remove the chairs on both sides of the captain, erase the board at the back, and darken it.

    I'd be all for this, especially the uniform mods. The disappointing thing about the ENT MU unis is the starp doesn't work like the Baldric.

    Otherwise, you could put that on a TNG uniform and it look pretty close to it. :)

    Id love the skin for the sovy.

    combining sovy stats with my favorite ships look would be win/win. (actually, make it an excelsior skin XD).


    The bridge would be nice too.



    overall im all for this. Well except for yet another totally new Galaxy variant. I'm more for skins you know.... and those are cheaper cp wise too XD

    No, i thought that there are already enough threads from people wanting the Ambassador.

    And the idea behind this bundle was the special timeline of that episode not a ship that is already existent in the prime timeline. This pack could be releasd together with the introduction of the Ambassador, as a special supplement pack if you will. Maybe i've should made that clearer from the beginning.:)
