The Starfleet ship you always wanted in STO?

What i am missing in STO is a new kind of Starfleet ship breed, away from STOs stationary and too passive (mostly) cruisers and away from the nimble annoying Escorts.
No need to be able to equip DHCs or hangar pets, just one Lt.Cmdr (or Cmdr) tactical among with a high survivability BOFF layout (maybe something like the Elachi Monbosh for example) and more than 3 tactical consoles.
It doesn't need to have a super high turn rate, something between 10 an 14 would be sufficient for me.
(i hate ships that tend to oversteer all the time.)
A cool gimmick would be to give it something similar like the Romulan singularity core abilities, just for its Phaser weapons.
The ship type i wish i could have would be more like a Cruiser/Escort hybrid like Cryptic has announced more than a year ago*, but so far no Starfleet ship like that (besides the 300 $ chimera) on the horizon.
*well, i belive they said there where more coming.
It should continue the dsign like of the intrepid/starcruiser, especially the Avenger Star Cruiser design line. I think it's a shame Cryptic gave up on creating more futuritic looking starfleet ships like that, and making that fat Odyssey instead.
And please no oversized nacelles like the Excelsior/Sovereign/Odyssey design line.
(i just like flowing lines and wide ships, but i hate the "fat" look of the Odyssey and Excelsior for example.
)
Whats your "dream" Starfleet ship for STO?
No matter if it's canon, just something reasonable you have made up.
But please no Carrier/Escorts with 7 DHCs.

Oh and a Constellation-class.

...How is the Excelsior "fat" but the Star Cruiser isn't?
Fleet cruiser and a retrofit cruiser (without the enterprise A parts)
Andorian battle cruiser
Tellerite support flight deck cruiser ?
catian cruiser or destroyer ?
Light cruiser 2409 teir 4 and 5 ship
The Excelsiors extreme bulky engineering hull doesn't make the ship look fast or especially elegant looking in my eyes.
The Star Cruisers almost completely consists of flowing shapes and they look very sturdy, and overall it isn't especially "fat" looking, in my opinion. I think it is the contrast of the parts of which a ship is build of make the difference.
For example the Excelsiors relative thin saucer looks odd (IMO) together with the enormously bulky neck and engineering hull. On the other hand the thin Pylons that hold the immense Nacelles in place aren't looking especially sturdy too.
So in my opinion the contrast of the thin and bulky parts of the excelsior make the bulky parts look even more "fat" than they would do on a much more massive ship.
The Odyssey on the other hand consists almost completely of massive and bulky ship parts, making the ship almost look clumsy while resembling the general shape of the Excelsior (which i hate to the guts). That's why i would never buy the Odyssey, no matter how good it where.
As i said that's just my opinion, but i never liked the Excelsior very much TBH.
The ship i had in mind would in the OP would look more like the Achilles Class from Dominion Wars.
Nice one. Picard maneuver console would be great.

I wish for the above...it is borderline unfair that all torpedo captains need to use the t'varo for optimum damage

I don't expect to ever get it. But it would not be any more unbalanced then a Tor'kaht and it would make me very happy.

How is this a science vessel? It's more like an escort with a cmdr. sci boff. And science vessels have 3 - 3 weapon and not 3 - 4.
Besides, how do you plan to keep this thing alive?
Apart from that i would change its name, seriously.
I'll second that...I've been patiently waiting for the New Orleans for a while. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's coming anytime soon (if ever). The Romulans are the new cash cow for Cryptic now. Like the KDF we can just sit and wait for never. :rolleyes:

In STO, though, I've been waiting for them to "finish" the ship since it was added. Missing most of its navigational lighting. Missing it's running lights entirely. Textures on the dorsal saucer are still warped from what I can only assume was hastily done UV mapping.
It took over a year just for someone to finally add the pennants, fantail shuttle landing pattern and remove the mirrored air-lock on the back of the hull. Though, for some reason is still a solid red wall.
I have nothing against Cptn Logan, but it certainly wasn't his best work....
For years, every time there has been a moderate or major update, the first thing I run to look for are all of those. It's become like a ritual. And for years, my heart has sunk when I discover nothing has changed except a flurry of other ships added to the store or in boxes. Most of them alien, yet even they have human aerospace running lights flashing away for some reason...
I'm hoping really hard that with this coming focus on "Voyager related" content, JamJamz will be able to set his craft upon the neglected Intrepid and finally make it shine like I've always hoped for.
Well
The collarmatter Arc anamation to work would be nice
anti matter spread as part of the ship as in the show
Deflector shot as part of the ship as seen in the show
but yes I agree with you totally
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
No.
JJtrek is simply not available to STO.
People really need to accept that and move on.
Appearance: like a bigger and smoother version of the Prometheus (+50% size) but with just one pair of nacelles. (selectable at the ship Tailor)
Oh, STARFLEET... In that case, a T5 Constitution-Refit from the TOS/TMP movies.
Great looking ship

after all it was set a century after what we new, yeah 150 year old ship in service.....
Put a JDAM on a Bi-plane, its a refit !!!
Join The Space Invaders,..... Federation and KDF fleets.
BUT i think the front and top views look really great, but side view looks just horrible.
Personally i wouldn't mind if we would get that ship, maybe like some kind as Galaxy Class type II. (other GCS ship parts still useable)
Some views look awesome like the picture at the bottom, i would love to get this ship TBH.
I cold imagine the engineering section being not just the tiny engineering hull but the whole neck, allowing a HUGE warp Core.
It's a radical new interpretation of the Ambassador/Galaxy design line, maybe too radical for some people.
Cryptic could make it the Starfleet equivalent to the Elachi Moonbosh Battleship, since both ships aren't especially beautyful (and Cryptic seems to belive that only ugly or non Starfleet ships deserve a aweome BOFF/console Layout) i think this would be great alternative.
I definitely would love to have this ship, especially with the specs of the Elachi Moonbosh Battleship.
You'll have to forgive me but some of those ship have the same posture as a dog dragging his bum across the carpet.
Don't believe me? Have a look for yourself:

Having said that, I would really like to see some ships from that game here.

Granted, they are set in TOS era so.. they'd be very antiquated in 2409, unless a new retrofit design of then is made.
