Hornet Class Defiant Warship

edited September 2013 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
This is the Hornet class defiant warship, it should have the same specs as a Fleet defiant.
But with a special weapon, a Dual Quantum Torpedo launcher [Dmg] X 4 weapon.

I can't find any better pictures of it. If anyone knows of more, please post them, i'd like larger / detailed pics of this ship.


I'd love to see this as a zen store ship for 1500 ZEN, I am REALLY in need of a new Defiant class ship, this would be nice to add to the collection.

    Couldn't find one with a bigger impulse engine?;)

    Anyway this crops up every week or so.
    To sum it up: Cryptic can't just use random fan-fiction.

    This looks very similar to the one of the kitbashes the defiant class currently has.

    I would like to get my hands on a mirror universe Defiant. One of my alts uses mirror ships, and uses the mirror advanced escort as his primary vessel.

    Well I'm asking for a Dual Quantum launcher, because the Defiant had it. The defiants should have been a $50.00 ship pack with 3 diferent weapon / consoles As least i'm not asking for a battle cloaking device. Just a weapon that was on the Defiant Class ship. something to match the Quad cannons. And new ships hull designs so I can make a more custom looking ship.

    I just love the defiant and want more options for end game high end stuff. And the Zen store ships seems to have 5 forward weapons slots now. i'm not asking for that either. so make if it had the fleet defiant specs and had a dual quantum launcher it's pretty fair.

    And Al Rivera (@CaptainGeko) did say, he was thinking about a new defiant class escort. awhile back.

    A lot of ships had multiple torpedo launchers, doesn't mean we will ever see a launcher that launches multiple torps at once much less does the Defiant exclusively deserve it.

    I think asking for a Dual Quantum Torpedo launcher Damage X 4 is not out of the question.
    There are a lot of consoles that have pretty crazy powers

    Can we get the Galaxy's ability to fire 10 torpedoes in one salvoe too? Because that's what it could do in the shows.

    This isn't a simulation and the ship's abilities are represented by the BO powers.

    Or just use TS3 on multiple enemy ships with a photon torpedo, looks pretty close to what we saw on the show. Of course, There is no galaxy class ship that can actually use TS3 lol. As much as a defiant 3 pack would be nice, The galaxy class is way overdue for some love. It really tears me up that the most iconic ship in Star Trek is the most neglected in STO :(.

    You know, firing multiple torpedoes is already in the game. It's called "High Yield" and "Spread".

    And this fan made variation of the Defiant is really ugly.

    ^ This right here.

    If you want to fire two quantums at once use THY 1...make use of all of those tac ensign slots people complain it has.

    You want dual quantum ... Use high yield.

    That "Hornet" class is already in the game labled as the "Vigilant" (http://sto.gamepedia.com/Tactical_Escort_Retrofit , http://sto.gamepedia.com/File:Default_Vigilant_Class.jpg) and I agree with most of the others, it is butt ugly.

    I fly my Defiant with a mix of original Defiant and Sao Paulo pieces,... looks good and is functional.

    While the Defiant in the show did have 4 forward torpedo launchers, you are able to get basically the same effect by mounting 2 torpedo's on the front and using HY or Spread,...

    Personally, I find most fan made "Kit Bashes" to be ugly, completely ignorant and/or dismissive of starship mechanics and function and totally not belonging in the game at all.

    Why?

    There are so many versions of the Defiant already, do we need another?

    Tactical Escort
    Tactical Escort Refit
    Tactical Escort Retrofit
    Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit.

    Defiant class, Vigalant class, Gallant class, Sau Paulo class.

    Four hulls with four skins, I think we're covered for Defiants if I'm honest mate.

    Mount two foreward Quantum Torpedo launchers?

    If Cryptic were to include a totally accurate quantity of weapon slots for each ship in the game, most ships would cost at least double if not triple to equip.

    Most ships in Trek have ventral and dorsal weapon platforms, meaning at least a doubling of weapon slots. Not counting Torpedo launchers, which most ships in Trek have at least 2 of foreward and one aft.

    Some license has to be taken in order to make it practical in a game. Hence the same weapon platform is used for ventral AND dorsal.

    The Defiant has 4 forward slots, use 2 for Torpedo's, 1 for the Quad phaser cannon, and 1 beam array, that's about as well armed as a Defiant gets, unless your specifically building a cannon boat for max DPS.

    While this may technically be true, the ships would look monumentally stupid.

    The Enterprise-D (from TNG) had 12 phaser arrays, 2 torpedo launchers, and 250 antimatter mines.

    How often did you see them make use of more than a handful of them on screen? Ships already look stupid with 7 beam arrays with BFAW pewpewpewing, can you imagine how stupid it would be with 12?!? Plus torp spreads?!?

    The Enterprise-D on TV used one beam array at a time 90%+ of the time it was shown firing. Very very occasionally it would spam a few beams, but it was still only 3-5 in the crazy battle scenes where everything's going mental.

    Right. Which was sort of my point to the OP about wanting a quad torpedo launcher,... the ship has enough weapon hard points and slots. It doesn't need anymore and the last thing game needs is another "uber weapon" for some to drool over and others to whine about.

    Gotcha.

    A quad torpedo launcher [dmg]x4 could be rubbish anyway, most of the "uber weapons" are pretty junky IMHO.

    That was peace time. In DS9 we routinely saw galaxy class spamming beams in Dominion war.

    "Routinely" is a huge exaggeration. DS9 was my favourite trek series by far, and I still can't recall a federation ship ever firing more than 7 beams simultaneously, it would just look ridiculous.

    Not a troll: I prefer the Vigilant (or Hornet) design over the other options, including the orig. defiant. My thanks to the designer of that version. :)
