The Wishlist Thread: Canon Ships Edition 2.0
System
Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Welcome to the Canon Ship Wishlist 2.0 Thread - For Reference purposes, the old thread can be found HERE. Also HERE is a link to the old Ship Survey I ran.
The purpose of this topic is to centralize a wishlist for the "canon" ships that we'd like to be added to the game. I am using thr word "canon" in its broadest since - any ship that appeared in an officially licensed Star Trek product. This can include TV Series, Movies, Video Games, Books, Comics, Artbooks, Calendars, and other merchandise. This means that not all ships listed wil be "owned" by CBS (which licenses "Trek" to Cryptic) so do keep in mind that for many ships, additional licenses and contracts would be required, making it much harder for them to be added.
But we aren't concerned about that, we simply need to tell Cryptic what we want (and will likely pay for in the C-Store) and they can work out those issues on their own.
To Summarize the ground rules:
Some ground rules:
Below we will list the ships already in the game, those in development, and those that have been "ruled out" for now for one reason or another. Then a Kitbash/Derivative section. My 2nd post will contain the main wishlists, divided into sections for the factions.
In Development:
Confirmed Not Coming/In Limbo:
Finished and In Game:
Starfleet
KDF
Also lots of Cryptic designed ships and variants which I shall not name here to keep it shorter.
A Note on Kitbashes
I'm gonna list the kitbashes people require in here, but let's try to keep it within reason. A lot of these were made simply for debris shots after battles and never received polished models. A lot of times they have wildly mismatched parts and look very bizarre. (Note: A kitbash is a ship made out of parts from Models of different ships; so a Galaxy saucer and some Excelsior hull and nacelle pieces, or something - they were
widely used as filled ships in graveyard scenes) In my opinion, it would be better for Cryptic artists to make an "Inspired by" versions of the cooler kitbashes that solve some of the weird issues rather than a straight reproduction. And yes, I am aware that a few of the kitbashes are already in game (Cheyenne, Centaur) and they aren't terrible, but they're also more "accepted" ships soft-canon wise.
FASA ships generally share the same issues; They took stock ships and added things on for variety. These types of ships will appear here, since they are numerous.
Kitbashes and Derivative Models from FASA, Etc.

To Summarize the ground rules:
Some ground rules:
- They need to appear in Star Trek licensed material.
- It doesn't HAVE to be hard canon ships that appeared in a movie or TV series.
- They can be from artwork, books, card games, video games, and other approved published material.
- Ships made by a fan and not acquired by CBS can't be listed, legal ownership rights would make them too hard to acquire.
- If there is an excellent case made, we can perhaps list these separately as something to investigate.
- Ships shown in production notes and design mock-ups are valid, however. Including Perpetual ships
- Please include LINKS to articles and pictures rather than attachments so I can move the links up into the main post.
- Also, try to avoid hotlinking when an article page is available.

Just a list of ships we want, in no particular order:
Starfleet
Shuttles
NOTE: The Kitbash variants and FASA models are in the 1st post at the bottom
Klingon
Other Ships (Non Faction and Non-Player Ships
Assault Cruiser:

Excelsior:

I have no idea how those ships are called, but they look much sleeker and better IMO, than anything cryptics designers have done so far (except the Star Cruiser variants of course, but i begin to think that they where just lucky accidents
Live long and prosper.
Its partly ingame for Heavy BoP, but can use some more cannons like on concept for refit version
Imagine her spread wings in battle mode
Yreodred: Those are cool... but they're fan made, and haven't appeared in an official Trek product, so I can't list 'em. I can't imagine the hassle it would be to track down the "real" artists and try to negotiate rights.
Zarxide: I have the BoP from "Enterprise" on the list, but I'll add that John Eaves Sketch with the piles of cannons to the entry.
Irish-Fury: Nice! Added.
Image 1
Image 2
Those nacelles made it into the game, obviously, and the saucer and hull are visible in the floating hologram outside the shipyard (and possibly in heavily modified form as the Typhoon).
Emm, you get it little bit wrong, it was design for late DS9 era Battleship but denied, and some parts used later for Ent BoP, but it is ingame now as Hegh'ta BoP just without additional wings with guns on top, so please could you create some kind of additional Hegh'ta skin\model on list, it is not enterprise BoP, they actually totaly different.
Fan design, but being on the SoTL calender might mean there is already some deal in place for it. Can't hurt to ask for it.
Live long and prosper.
Bitter Homecoming
There are also some nice pictures on Drexler's blog.
Live long and prosper.
Also, added the Allegiance - its a long shot even with it being on the calendar, but this IS a Wishlist afterall
Note: The Allegience class was used in one of those fan series, Star Trek: Odyssey - their artists took the original Phoenix design and made some changes. There's a couple of shots on their Wiki Page but I can't find the high detail shots anymore. You could download the pilot episode to see it rendered I guess.
I like some of the changes they made, but not all.
Wow that's some ship! I like the Allegiance a lot!
Love ya
Decatur-class

The Star Trek Phase II Constitution-class Refit

The Koerner Constitution-class refit:

Data's Scout Ship from Insurrection
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Federation_mission_scoutship
Argo-class Shuttle
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Argo_%28shuttlecraft%29
And Argo's all terrain buggy, I'm tired of walking everywhere!
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Argo_%28buggy%29
Class J starship
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Class_J_starship
Dauntless-class
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Dauntless_class
And this is a MUCH better modern Tier 1 ship design from the guy who brought us the Vesta, the USS Planck: image 1 & image 2 its for the 2012 SotL calender so I'm assuming there's an agreement somewhere for it.
Orion Battlecruiser 1
Orion Battlecruiser 2
The Dauntless, Koehner's Connie, and the Planck were already on the list.
Note: I added the Decatur to the Kitbash section because.. well, why not?
That said, its not even a FASA ship, its from an unauthorized resource book. The likelihood of it being acquired are next to zero.
That's something we should bug them about on the next Ask Cryptic. What exactly is the licensing status with some of the SoTL calender ships? Lots of awesome ships on there.
Also, we're stickied in the Art forum! Thanks Wishy
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Raven_type
Another shuttle, the Sydney class,
http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Sydney_class
Type 9
Type 10
Enterprise-E's
Admiral Janeway's
More details here:

Also: why do we have to buy shuttles separately? Every starship ever appeared to come with its own shuttles...

the ares class..
I'd /love/ to see the defiant's shuttle in STO. Its gorgeous. =D
http://drexfiles.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/technofold_2012_r06.jpg
I'd like to see the Ambassador prototype as an additional skin for the Ambassador class. The Merian class is, like Vesta class, from TrekLit and featured both in the VOY relaunch novels ("Children of the Storm") and the SOTL 2012 calendar.
http://drexfiles.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/rademaker_final_sotl_2012_r02.jpg
(The Merian could be a Commander Level Science Vessel and an alternative skin for the Miranda class Light Cruiser)
