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. 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.
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.
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
unique warp core
"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.

It will be redesigned if it becomes playable
You also picked the ugliest possible shot of the typhoon.
Can you provide a good one?

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.
