Wow, that is some powerful ugly there. Gg cryptic. :rolleyes:

Most hideous ship ive seen in this game so far, even the tal shiar ships look beautiful compared to this.. lolol
You have never seen a Galaxy class? Ever?
The new battlecruiser looks like what its name implies: a cruiser built for battle. It's no where near as sexy as the original Avenger Star Cruiser, but at least it does not have a giant hole in its neck.

The Odyssey Class took the ugly prize in my opinion. You will never see me have one on my Fed Captains. That ship looks like it got beaten to death with an Ugly Stick.

Well... The aft and upper fore view are neat looking. I'm not a fan of her engineering hull or under profile - but I'll wait until I can look at her in game to decide.

Well, Im glad we all don't like the same ships, or it would be pretty boring. I say good job, Im interested, cant wait to try it out. The beuty of this game is you don't HAVE to fly what you don't like;-)

On a scale of 1 to 10, how certain are you about this?
Cause I'm looking at it and I'm kinda' seeing an opening for a hole. :P And I'm hoping I'm just tired and tripping.
I am afraid this new Cruiser will make so many other Federation Cruisers obsolete including the Galaxy X
Ironically, the Gal-X's mostly obsolete status remains unaffected, since this thing doesn't have a Lance, but this thing completely buries the Regent and the Excelsior. The Regent is just comically outclassed by a ship with the same layout and better-everything, the Excelsior is reduced to a fancy space-taxi by a ship that out-turns it AND carries DHC.
Also, is that a double neck setup I see? Dang, I hate that, what's up with Cryptic and double necks?
Well at least it has 700 crew, which would (hopefully) put it in the size range of a Vesta/Sovereign and not be ridiculously oversized like everything that came since LoR was released.

It doesn't have a Lance... It has however a DBB with BO3 on top of all the important trappings of a A2B cruiser. And 4DHCs. Scary stuff!
I actually quite like the looks. Its blocky, but hey I kinda like blocky! After all, the Dreadnought Cruiser was my favorite ship!

I find this line of replies sadly hilarious. We put a lot of work into the massive list of fixes/changes above, and ya'll are hung up on the ability to skip our content. =p
Double neck designs as said in game are an acknowledgement to newly discovered slipstream streamlining.
TL;DR, blame the Vesta for giving us double necks, and now logically all Starfleet ships should have double necks to be faster.
Honestly, the need for double neck for slipstream has always sounded like pure BS to me.
Also, not only the Vesta doesn't have a double neck, it doesn't have a neck at all! :P I think the Odyssey is the one you were thinking about.

Well that's good to know. It's nice to see Starfleet at least keeps their ships normal sized, I mean even the Odyssey was overstretching it a bit and I was afraid that this might end up in the size range of the D'D or Scimitar.
Excelsior you say? That's actually a nice size for the ship, I like that.

About the Avenger class' design, I will say this: If you were (in-continuity) designing a military-focused vessel and had to choose between how it looks and how it performs, looks would have a hard time outgunning your enemies. This is a military design.
In regards to the size, I find that hard to believe as the window size and design of the ship looks more like it's about the size of the Star Cruiser variant I believe it is. Although the window size was hard to make out due to the picture quality before.
As for the ship itself, I'd love to get my hands on one and see just what I can do with it.
I'm glad its about the Excelsior size. We don't need all big cruisers. I'm looking forward to it. Since I don't have a 2409 era cruiser to use. So this will be a start. I'm glad a lot of players already don't like it. As the area won't be flooded with them.

Just took a look at it on Redshirt, and I have to say, I'm intrigued by its special console. Won't spoil anything, however.
Also, it's really only that big? I was sure that it was going to be a Star Cruiser special refit. I'm surprised to see that it doesn't appear to be that big.

So, the ship appears to have a dual-neck set up, though not as large a gap, like the Odyssey-class. Interesting.

Heck, it has more shields than any other Federation cruiser in the game, it would seem. It's like a more maneuverable and tactical-oriented Odyssey.
*sigh* Well, at least it won't be getting a hangar next week...
Just for reference here's what was said on his Twitter feed: "Closer to Excelsior. It's a Battle Cruiser

Depending on how powerful they are, it may not need it with those drones it can launch.

Drones? The Avenger can launch predator drones? Or something from Stark's arsenal?
