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?
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 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).

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.

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
hull points 45000
shield multiplier 2
turn rate 7
+10 power to weapons
crew 3000

"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

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.

I like the typhoon personally, its a battleship its not supposed to look nice
But aside from that Where are those three images from , I'm intrigued

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

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.

In this form, it will never get in the game. Having 2 more weapons slots, huge shield mod of 2? Even fleet sci ships only go as far as 1.43. And the turnrate is way too high for a that kind of ship. 5 would be more appropriate. And the drop the hangers.
That unique warpcore should be capable of taking the strain of running it full beam, otherwise, it is doomed.

Needs at least 4 tac consoles to be a purpose built battleship. If its built for war then sci should be kept to a min. I would say 5 tac 1 sci 4 eng. Needs a more tac heavy boff set up as well otherwise it's just an oversized galaxy.
And here's what you do about the typhoon: give it a COMPLETE reskin, perhaps, something leaning more towards the design of the cold war era Soviet Typhoon class nuclear submarine, sort of like how they based the Akira and the NX-01 off of a more submarine-like style, as the production team says. Create something, like every ship should be, that has "formidable opponent" written all over it, while still having an entirely possible means of defeating said death-bringer, like the TRIBBLE' Bismarck and Tirpitz. THOSE were true battleships.
What would make this ship more plausible is to give it an entirely unique, much more strategically-oriented playstyle, such as, having an extended ship-exclusive arsenal of beam array abilities, similar to the integrated subsystem targeting powers demonstrated by most science vessels. And these abilities could be tethered to a unique console, or three, to suit a three-pack of ships, if necessary (just make a Klingon equivalent for God's sake, we beg of you). But a ship like this would truly need to be limited in it's maneuverability, with no "+2 turnrate" bonuses like the Scimitar or the D'Dex. And for crying out loud, Hurricane, Cyclone class? Pffft. Monsoon and Tempest sound ASTRONOMICALLY (<- it's a space joke you're all obliged to laugh) more official than "Hurricane or Cyclone". And both are still storms.
Consider the above with care, and bare in mind, I'm not a massive fan of this ship as most feddies, being that I am a full-time loyal Warrior of the Empire. As if the feds need a more powerful cruiser, considering most things unique to the KDF either get given away or outmatched by a federation counterpart. Just because we get the Tor'Kaht does not mean you socialists deserve the same or better. Enjoy your Excelsiors.

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.
Designation - Battleship (No, NOT Cruiser)
Innate Make this the console but have a -20% Acc As well- +100% Beam Weapon Damage (Which would be 50% for MMO math)
Special Console - None. If needed, Dedicated Tractor Beam Array. Allows for use of Tractor Beam or Tractor Beam Repulsors on a console cooldown
Special Weapon - 4x Heavy Phaser Beam Arrays. 280narrow the firing arc but have them side mounted,infact perhaps have all the weapons side mounted Base Damage (Compared to Accx2 and Dmgx2 Advanced Fleet Weapons on a ground map that have a 240 damage for a special beam base damage listing) -12 Weapon Drain, 2x Acc 3x Dmg modsChange this to DMGx4, Battleship Only, may only have 4 total equipped.
And, yeah, I really don't care what people say, if they say anything...I STILL want a Typhoon.
Changes in RED
But the main jist of what i have to say is, fair enough make it powerful, but make it slow moving, and less accurate

You also picked the ugliest possible shot of the typhoon.
Can you provide a good one?
