I haven't been able to find a solid Cryptic answer on if we will get a playable version. I'd buy c-store AND fleet if they did.

    Check out Geko's recent interviews, I think he said they very well might. But first they are going to update the Typhoon and the Jupiter's looks.

    I'd rather the Typhoon be redone not as a dreadnought, but as a carrier. A dual-hangar Fed carrier that doesn't look like a big blue wang would sell pretty well, I think.

    Uh, we HAVE a true battleship. It's called the assault cruiser. That or the tactical Oddy. Both qualify as battleships.

    The Oddy is certainly big enough.

    No, we still don't have a true Battleship in STO.

    Why? Even the Galaxy-X is classified as a Dreadnought Cruiser

    Odyssey? Odyssey Star Cruiser

    Sovereign/Regent? Assault Cruiser

    What was the Typhoon from the very beginning? A Typhoon-class Battleship

    Last I heard when devs were asked about it it was stated it was never intentioned to be a playable ship as it was a mishmass thrown together primarily for the Doomsday mission.

    If you like it more power to you :), IMO is is pugugly :P
    Just for consideration if they did decide to make it it would be behind a T5 connie refit as far as player requests, but you never know :rolleyes:

    I'd like to see it as a player ship and would buy it if it had a decent boff and console layout.

    I don't want it redesigned, just add a bridge modal.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    I am all for the idea of a big, massive even, battle-sponge of a ship but in my mind, the Oddy and Venture/Galaxy-X are already battleships of a sort.

    You can't have a Dreadnought cruiser, the term in naval circles at least, seems a bit oxymoronic to me.

    Only thing I don't like is that the Typhoon looks a bit nerf.

    Personally I get a lot of enjoyment of my Venture-X, it looks the dogs and is fairly rare. I love wading into the midst of it and getting a beating but surviving it.

    I think the classification of a ship in naval terms is dependant upon its role and intended use, rather than size or details like armament. Certainly if you look at modern post war ships, many 'destroyer' type vessels were actually heavier or longer than cruisers from between the wars.

    If either ship comes in they will be redesign. that's what they state and face it the Typhoon is ugly and they are many fan based ships to draw upon like DJ Curtis's Century class. or even EXCALIBUR

    Both of the ships classes you stated are ugly. The Typhoon on the other hand is quite magnificent and loots great.
    It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once. B)

    IF they do add it as a player ship, it would have to be bumped up to player ship model standards anyway. since NPC ship models arent as detailed as player ship models.

    that could be what they meant by redesigning it.

    Zooming in on it in he Foundry it's more detailed than the Sabre or other T2-3 ships.

    Actually considering it's a kitbash, they are going to redesign it complete, and I mean redesign. Details, everything. If they do put in a playable typhoon, it unfortunately will not be like the one we all know and love from Skirmish.

    My vision for the Typhoon and Jupiter is that the Typhoon is remade into a heavy battleship, with some special innate ability or weapon, like siege-range torpedoes that could fire at reduced damage from beyond the 10km range, or the ability to fire two torpedo launchers of the same type simultaneously. Something cool with torpedoes, mainly.

    The Jupiter has the perfect shape to, when remastered with a unique model, become a dreadnought carrier. Because of its shape I can see it getting the Phaser Lance. I also think it would be very cool if the Jupiter was one of the first broadsider ships, able to mount single cannons port and starboard. Tweak how Scatter Volley works so it could fly through a group of ships and blast away from both sides.

    almost certainly won't shake out that way, but a man can dream.

    First of all, the actual titles of the ships? Yeah, those don't matter, even a little bit. The Tac Ody and the Fleet Sov Refit ARE Battleships. Period.

    Second: The Typhoon is the ugliest kitbash PoS I have ever laid eyes on. I don't want developer time devoted to making that thing playable. Please delete even the NPC versions from the game.

    Third: YES we need a federation tactical oriented full carrier. Basically the Jem Dread with a fed skin. It could be the Jupiter, which is a great design for a slow moving carrier boat. Also, they could play more with breaking the weapon slot mold they broke with the Kumari. They could make it VERY low turn rate (3), but have 4 extra weapon slots that can only fit turrets. Think about it, pure turret build + 2 hangars for advanced (or elite) peregrines.
