    So what's the deal with this ship? A cruiser with an even more offensive setup than the Galaxy-X?

    Yeah, that's why they're Heavy Beam Arrays, instead of standard, they're supposed to do more damage then standard Beam Arrays while retaining their arc, it's also why I limited the number on 1 ship to only 4, which come with the ship and restrict them to Battleship class ships, to emphasize that yes, these are LARGE weapons and unique to that class, like the Kumari Wing Cannon.

    Your obviously Missing the part where the DPV goes up but the DPS stays the same.

    Heavy Beam Arrays would do the same damage as a Normal Beam Arrays but would do it in one shot with a longer cooldown.

    And that is not what your asking for. Or perhaps not what your explaining.
    I was once DKnight1000, apparently I had taken my own name so now I'm DKnight0001. :confused:
    If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
    When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.

    I'm not missing the point.

    They're supposed to be unique weapons specific to that ship.

    Kumari Wing Cannons have more DPV and more DPS then Fleet-level DHCs, and they're unique to the Kumari.

    The Heavy Beam Arrays. Heck, call them Battleship-class or Typhoon-class Beam Arrays are supposed to be like the Kumari Wing Cannons. More DPV AND more DPS then standard beams while being Unique TO THAT SPECIFIC SHIP.

    Just because people that are "OMG DO NOT WANT" about the Typhoon and Battleships in this game try to poke holes in my ideas doesn't mean that the ideas themselves are not good ones.

    I will defend this until the end of time if I have to.

    how about this, every instance of the typhoon is replaced in game by the odyssey, and we all forget all about this ugly kitbash? the need for a top dog fed npc is easily filled by the ody. and if not that, a galaxy class.

    100% agree, this thing is just fugly, I know the odyssey is not the most popular ship, but I like its looks, it DOES look like an enterprise.

    so all in all +1

    I agree! I would love to see Typhoon and Jupiter class vessels playable ingame, every faction has it's hugest and most impressing ships playable (Vo'Quv, Scimitar), so why not fed (and don't argue with the oddy, it's tiny).
    The ship you suggest is a bit over powered. I personally would like to see it as a fed battle carrier.

    P.S. The Typhoon isn't ugly and why would cryptic not like to make it playable?

    Of course it's overpowered, it's a Battleship in a game of Gun Cruisers and Battlecruisers. =3

    i would enjoy the typhoon battleship.. and i know this would never happen but it would be epic if it could have 10 weapon slots.. 5 in front and 5 in the rear. i would enjoy having the typhoon as well because the dreadnought cruiser is disappointing in some manners and typhoons as a bolster for it would be a great addition..

    The STO wiki says that the Typhoon is a "refit of the Majestic-class Cruiser was upgraded with state-of-the-art systems and equipment."

    It seems to me that they should offer this as an unlock skin/model for use with the ACR or FACR.

    Sounds like fanfic. The Typhoon is about 1200 metres long, the Majestic is around 800 metres, certainly not a variant of the AC.

    What they should do is add the typhoon as a giant battleship for the feds and a klingon version of the vesta or reconnaissance science vessel(maybe with enhanced battle cloak). It would show the two sides adopting new tactics.

    Making the Typhoon should be simple. Use the same layout and stats as the D'Dex retrofit. Could do plenty of damage, tank extremely well, and have some science in its back pocket (we've ALL been pushed around by those Repulsors).

    Why we haven't been given it yet I have no clue.

    It definatly shares some of the design

    But examining the model ( not great TBH, but its an older one ) its clear that a lot of the ships structure IF built out of a majestic, Is a rebuild rather than a retro fit

    The ammount of extra Mass is significant, the deflector is increased in size and the engineering hull is much larger as well

    Though it does appear to have the same or similar pylon structures and Saucer section



    My personal opinion is it is much more what the Nebula is to the Galaxy, Similar, But not a Refit , or at least not a simple one

    Any thoughts on a built-in, tractor beam repulsor as its special console? I suggest this because anytime I see it in combat that seems to be its first, go-to move. :D

    Might be good as a battleship/heavy carrier, it looks like it has the space for 2 hangers with the firepower of a assault cruiser. Here's my take on the Typhoon.

    5 fore weapons slots, 5 aft, because the firepower has to be in line with that of a battleship.
    2 hanger decks for fighters or support craft depending on player's choice

    5 engineering console slots
    2 science console slots
    3 tactical console slots

    1 lt cmd tactical
    cmd engineering, lt cmd engineering
    lt science

      And no, I don't care that it IS another Typhoon thread. I want this dang ship.

      My proposed set up for it.

      Typhoon-class, with alternate Hurricane and Cyclone skins.

      SNIP

      Oh, you want these ships:

      Typhoon

      Hurricane

      Cyclone

      The STO Typhoon is the ugliest kit bash I have ever seen. I hope it never becomes playable. Or if it does, I hope I can censor it from my screen.

      You also picked the ugliest possible shot of the typhoon.
      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)

      "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

      But aside from that Where are those three images from , I'm intrigued

      Bleech, it's a Battleship, not a Carrier.

      It should have a class of weapons larger then the Cruisers, not hangars.

      i don't know about that

      Look at the hanger sizes of all the canon Cruisers/battleship, They could easily be fitted for flightdeck ops

      There are already (playable) vessels in this game that make the Typhoon and Jupiter look like Miss America. Two more are not going to hurt.

      I would want to see it. The ship looks nice as well. Be nice to see different skin variations as well. Like saucer looks, nacelles, pylons, stardrive. So you can make your own as well.

      I like the idea of the names. Call each variation by storm. Typhoon, Hurricane, and Cyclone.
