There is no canon in STO. It's a fan-boy game, where fans get to play the game wearing the uniforms they like, using the equipment they like, and using the ships they like. It's designed to keep players happy: many of which only like certain segments of Trek canon.
People need to stop worry about what ships are canon and just accept that Cryptic is letting people play the ships they like at end-game - where 99% of your game play will be.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
Special Ability: Sensor Analysis (Alternatively, but not preferably, 1 Hangar bay which is limited to small shuttles and fighters, no Frigates or Heavy Shuttles).
In a nutshell, a Federation-style Bird of Prey.
If you feel Keel'el's effect is well designed, please, for your own safety, be very careful around shallow pools of water.

boff layout is overpowered, its a light cruiser so
CMDR Eng
LTCMDR Tac
LT Sci
LT Uni
Ensign Uni
because its a cruiser it should reflect that in its stats
35000 base hull
.9 shield mod
11 turn rate
can equip dual cannons
It's very obvious watching anything Star Trek that this thing was meant to have teeth back in its day, its tactically focused, at least the version they have in this game with the roll bar. So its a small turnable little cruiser.
I mean, I love the Miranda as much as the next guy....I even keep one around to play with occasionally that's about as tricked out as it's going to get. That being said, I don't know about a fleet Miranda, seems kinda pointless to me.

perhaps a sov with the catamaran form of the Miranda?
You mean similar to what the nebula is to the galaxy? I could go for a sovereign or an oddessy version of the nebula. The sovereign version would be more tactical focused I would assume.
Ships of the style of the Miranda have long been a crucial part of Starfleet. The Miranda itself has served for so long and even through the cataclysmic Dominion War. It has served since Kirk's time and through the TNG/DS9/Dominion War era. And in STO, it still serves Starfleet and is found frequently through the game.
The Miranda deserves to be an endgame ship. Star Trek canon supports it. STO's own liberal sprinkling of the Miranda-class supports it.
The Excelsior-class, almost as old as the Miranda-class, still serves Starfleet and has just as much of history. And it is represented at endgame with the Fleet Excelsior.
The Klingons actually have a number of old school vessels playable for endgame. The D7/K'T'Inga is older than the Miranda-class and has served even through the Dominion War. And it is playable at endgame. The B'Rel is quite old also, though "younger" than the D7. It has been shown many, many times in Star Trek, serving through the TOS movies, through TNG, DS9, and was very prolific through the Dominion War. It too is available for endgame.
The Miranda, outside of long viewings of the Constitution, Galaxy, and Sovereign-classes, is the most commonly shown Starfleet vessel throughout Star Trek.
If anything, the Miranda-class really needs to be represented as a playable ship at endgame, more so than the iconic Constitution-class. Because the Miranda has actually been shown serving heavily throughout practically all of Star Trek since being first shown in "The Wrath of Khan."

Exactly, which makes it a ton more Federation-like that porting over a BoP sands battle cloak.

My name is Rage, and I too support a revised Galaxy family.
