Well...
One of the main threads drawing attention in another forum is what the characteristics of the new Enterprise should be.
Wow. Everything from introducing it as the first Tier 6, to increasing the base power management levels, to having the Commander slot on the ship being Universal....
Maybe even making it a Battleship -- sort of a unique Federation-only concept I think.
In any case, since the Feds are all in a lather and entertaining some pretty high fantasy in regards to a supership...I thought, why not develop our own thread, just for fun?
Here is an idea -- rennovate the Vo'Qov carrier -- something like this:
1. Increase the turn rate to that of a Neghvar.
2. Make it so that the hangar bays can be replaced with weapons, essentially turning the vessel into a very powerful, large cruiser -- for instance, you could have one hangar and seven weapons, etc.
3. Create a new class of "heavy weapons" that can only be mounted on Carriers -- heavy beam weapons, heavy torpedos - that no other class of ship can mount because they are too big. These heavy weapons have increased range and damage.
4. Increase the base power allocation by 50% (from 200 base to 300).
5. increase the fighter cap back to 12 fighters per bay (cap of 24).
I know it is fantasy...but hey -- we can have our fun too, right?

Uhm...nope....playable,with saucer separation and a shuttle..... and it's going to be a mission reward.
The Ent-F itself will not be playable. But the CLASS will be.
Not saying it's going to be a Fed Carrier, but it's sure likely to give Klingons headaches as carriers do for Feds.
Two words, brother - cup holders.
Can't be spilling the blood wine.
Or a "Design the next IKS Sword of Kahless Contest" since if I remember right that was the name of the KDF Flagship under Martok.

THIS! +2 Internets for you!
Oh no, please not.
I'd rather see them to make actual Klingon ships like the K'Vort or a t5 K'tinga then just ANOTHER ugly Fan-design.
Even the usual Klingon-fan designs turn out to look much more awfull then the (mostly already prety ugly) Federation ones, and seeing that what won the Fed-contest instead of the at least bearable designs... nonono. No Klingon contest like that......
I'm all for a KDF ship that is fan designed and is the KDF equivalent of the Enterprise F.
And really, after they made the Kar'Fi, I think we're well past the stage of worrying about what it will look like.
a big ship that looks like the Chariot. It has 3 fighter slots but they can only have 2 out (instead of 3) and can use the fighters from the tac carrier and the voquv.
Also the recharge should be 2x longer so the max ships will be out at the same time, but this ship gets 3 out right away instead of 2.
But the feds do need another enterprise so forget it.
Well with the K'Vort, I'm surprised they havn't added it in yet. Outside of the D4 and D5, there isn't much more cannonical ships left for the Klingons, except the Voodeigh Negh'var Varient.
Okay, then tell me what you think about this fanmade Klingon warship.
(PS. The front has been redone, and has yet to be posted).
Feds get more ships cuz we keep blowing them up.:D
I expect the new Enterprise Class vessels will be about as powerful as the Sovereign and Galaxy Refits.
That said, I'd love to see another alternative for Klingons for the BOP, Raptor, and Carrier class. Whatever the new BOP would be, I hope it would have a more useful skill than the firing torpedoes while cloaked.
Speaking of cloak, I really wish they'd fix the bug, that isn't 100% a bug.
My experience with the game's development and overall big picture evolution leads me to believe that they are indeed capable of doing such a thing.
After a year and a half of virtually no ship customization, I'd almost be willing to settle for that.
It would be great to get some comparable to the "advanced" versions of the Feds, a couple additional upper-end ships would be great, too.
Hey...I can dream....
Yes, especially if they promise not to.
I can promise you one thing. The moment the Feds get their carrier ever single one of these "naysayers" will be the first to grab one.
Without exception, they will be the same ones screaming to the devs about how carriers have ruined PvP, and are only responsible for spam.
But, then with an about turn they will defend the need for a Federation carrier. Absolutely no logic, for vulcan sympathizers!
