kinda wantin' Quad Plama Cannons to play with...
so how about this for an idea: the (four wing) Haakona look is only used for one ship so how's about a variant with Quad Plama Cannons ? as well as bringing with it the Quad Plama Cannons it would mean some customization for the Haakona and i bet you'd sell a fair few Cryptic.
also please could you perhaps look at putting in a blue quality 360 shuttle plasma beam array in the game somewhere like the phaser and disruptor ones from the quest because my cool little Romulan stealth shuttle feels left out

anyway, nice idea...but for a completely new design i guess
that class atm uses nicked tech "in the lore" so they could just say it's basic configuration was also used to test these "inspired" designs as well...
i suggest using the four wing design because that's what they did with the Klingon Quad ship (the Ning'tao Bird-of-Prey) but if anything i think it suits Romulans more. possibly making it a sister ship class/design to the Haakona, a ship that is 4 winged and a lot of people like the look of, seemed pretty simple leap from there.
bare in mind a variant can look/be quite different. i'm only really saying it would have a basic 4 wing configuration similarity and the model could be used as a new costume on the Haakona (which would help sales)
it would i suppose possibly be made for a different rank and have a different boff layout similar to the ships that host the other quads and i'm not really suggesting it could separate itself.
PS. i might add that if they did this it could well give people a good escort choice at tier 4 (which is where you normally get shoved into a D'deridex) because that's the tier the Feds get the Quad phasers via the Tactical Escort Refit.
