So I was listening to Al Rivera's interview with Priority One, and of course the Ambassador came up, and how it would fit in with the Tiers. This got me thinking, how would I re-tier the Enterprise line to make it flow a little better in the game.
Now this was just a quick thought, and an example I came up with. I'd leave the Connie's, TOS and refit, right where they're at and have no higher tier alternative, sorry those ships are way too old, and I love my TOS Connie. Tier 3 Excelsior, tier 3.5 Enterprise variation of the Excelsior. Tier 4 Ambassador, Tier 4.5 Enterprise variation of the Ambassador. Tier 5 Galaxy(LH) and Sovereign(UH). Tier 5.5 Enterprise variations of the Galaxy and Sovereign, and lastly tier 6 Odyssey, tier 6.5 Enterprise variation of the Odyssey.
Now before the, "OH NOES!!!!! I PAID FOR A T5 EXCELSIOR!!! I QUIT!!!!!" QQ, existing purchasers of the T5 Excelsior would get to keep it. I'm sure Cryptic would do that for us.
So, I'm interested to read what others think. How would you re-tier them?
All tiers need to go away and let us refit them are self's, in terms of weapon slots and boff slots. The Ambassador class is going to be T5 or T5.5 seeing as a better ship then the Excelsior. My 2 cents anyway.
I think all ships should be viable and retrofit for end-game. that should be a level cap perk. this game was advertised as you being able to captain the ship of your choice. and as such, it's my choice what I captain. do I think a Connie should have the same stats as a sovereign, no...are you crazy....but could a connie have the same stats as an intrepid, or make it an intrepid/defiant hybrid....that's what they should do, re-class the ships at higher tiers. I'dl ove to fly a t-5 connie sci ship, that would be truely canon with the cmd sci station!
Also with the akira, man...all that ship is is an NX with downward pointed warp nacelles! There should be an NX replica skin for the akira for T-5!

Not to mention it would leave room for the other remaining canonical Federation ships that yet to be added.
Movie Constitution = All Ranks
Excelsior Retrofit = T3-4-5
Ambassador - T4-5
galaxy - T4-5
Sovvy - T5-5.1
Oddessy - T5-5.1
SMD
um yeha, the TMP Connie being all ranks will deffinately not happen, its been said many times, no T5 Connie >>
Also with the akira, man...all that ship is is an NX with downward pointed warp nacelles! There should be an NX replica skin for the akira for T-5!
Move the T3 Excelsior to a T2 +1
Move the T5 Excelsior T3 no plus
Then the T3+ spot is open to the Ambassador
yes, the NX design was based off the Akira.
Hence SMD.
TOS Ent T1
Movie Ent T1.5
Ambassador T2
TNG Ent T3
Sovy T4
Sovy Refit T5
Oddy T5
Gal-X T5
But even better, ditch the Tiers altogether and let us upgrade ships from start to finish.
This is very obviously not a personal request, and represents an honest opinion of what the ship really should be in the game. Right?
.....right?
:rolleyes:
