    isn't the Typhoon pretty much just a soverign with interesting looking engine nacelles?

    Perhaps we'll see it as a fleet variant skin at some point.

    more or less. I would be happy with it being a Assault Cruiser Skin.

    Awhile ago in a Q&A there was a question asked by the guy who wanted the jupiter class... the response was (I think) "bla bla bla around season 6"

    we're at Season 6, Can we have it now?

    season six is from no and until season 7 is announced, thats usually when they stop season 6 development. so hold your horses, they cant get everything otu at once. and there are only 2 ship people. they got their hands full.

    I would pay for the Typhoon. Would motivate me more to do fleet stuff if it was a fleet ship.

    Though im happy for it to be in the C-store.

    This. It would be great if they could make it have multiple skins, like standard in-game ships, so everyone can build their own Typhoon class instead of having one same ship.

    you mean different options for the hull etc? (aka add it to the assault cruiser skins)

    They could get rid of the Oddessey for it. Let the Typhoon sit on its own as the "battleship" of Starfleet.

    No. Make it a separate ship with different versions of it. For example, like Assault Cruiser, you can choose between Sovereign/Majestic/Noble or mix the three to get a unique ship.

    I don't have anything against Odyssey and I doubt they would even think about removing it. They went through all the hard work to create Odyssey from scratch. Typhoon is already in the game, all they have to do is make it playable and place it in the C-Store.

    Can you really imagine any scenario where this would be considered?

    Yes

    Dev 1: we need a new cruiser for the fleet yard
    Dev 2: why dont we take the oddessey off the Z-store and make it exclusive to the fleets
    Dev 3: hmm we could charge them 6 of those console thingys..
    Dev 1: okay lets do it

    YThey did it with all the skin c-store ships. their now restricted to fleet military tiers (Imperial, Nomad etc)

    Typhoon Class would make a great Tier 5 ship along with the Jupiter.

    That guy was me :P

    Yeah, I want the Jupiter and the Typhoon added to the game... I'm hopeful that with season 6 and possible new holdings/ships that we'll see them soon.

    Yes Typhoon Class:).
    And no, it's not like a sovereign class, the Sovi is a 685m cruiser the Typhoon is a ~900m long Battleship, that's only 20 or so metres than the Odyssey, and that difference is due to the length of the Oddys nacelles. In terms of all over dimensions the Typhoon is larger than the Odyssey.

    Hmmm so you would want the Typhoon to be a new (not a skin unlock) ship?

    If so what would you see the Stats being?

    Turn rate?
    Consoles?

    4/4 weapon slots?

    ?

    Concerning consoles: Ingame, the Typhoon has a tractor beam. How about the ability being having three tractor beams simultaneously (for crowd control) or one superstrong (for single targets).

    Concerning the stats: As a Battleship, is it something completely different than a Cruiser, or just a special type of Cruiser (like the Dreadnought Cruiser)?

    Yes a new ship.
    AS for stats make it similar to the Oddy, due to the similar size, but reduce the speed a small amount due to the 'less advanced' looking nacelles.
    Keep the turn rate the same as the Oddy which turns like a brick anyway.
    As for consoles make it a tactical heavy
    5 tac, 2 sci 2 eng or something.

    I doubt it would happen. We've been asking for a Typhoon and Jupiter class vessel for over 2 years...unless Crpytic makes this ship 2k+ Zen per character....

    Hmmm could be fun... or a console that uses the tractor beam to either push or pull a target.

    hmmm, give it time... When... If they realise they could get profit out of it they might "break"... though maybe my logic fails... wouldnt it be easier to work on a ship thats already in the game than one that... needs to be built from scratch?

    Haha it would be worse than that given the recent announcements and track record aka the big picture:

    For these you need to assemble projects at Starbase Tier 5 which need components as rare as the box ships in a variety of lockboxes then you have to stock a special Stabase Vendor with a gazillion amount of dilithium and fleet merits followed by having to buy a whole heap of Fleet Modules to shove into the purchase all for only a single character unlock that, if it is destroyed, you lose permanently cause thats the new sales method thats bound to make alot of money and keep everyone playing for sure...:rolleyes:

    The Typhoon seems more like an Assault Cruiser Refit/Retrofit than a totally new class of ship (even looks like it too.)

    It would go

    Galaxy -> Galaxy Dreadnaught -> Sovereign -> Typhoon -> Odyssey

    Typhoons special ability, lets see, it loves to fire tractor beams, how about a skill to through tractord target into another target.
