Terran Imperial Vessels

Hi Guys my name is TheHampster01 and I'm here to talk about the terran empire mirror universe vessels, even though some or most of us dislike the texture that comes with them, some of the current terran vessels even though they aren't as strong or powerful as fleet vessels they still have good potential. For example the MVPE (or mirror prometheus) has the same boff layout as the prime universe patrol escort, this enables the ship to have a greater tanking ability compared to the prime universe MVAE plus it has a greater damage potential due to the lieutenant commander tactical instead of the science alternative.
What I'm proposing is a few more mirror universe ships to go with the prime universe.
Mirror Universe Odyssey Class Dreadnought Cruiser
This ship can still use all of the prime universe oddy yet it has a different console layout along with a few different boff stations as well as the ability to load dual cannons and a cloaking device (this can be found on the prime universe galaxy-X and defiant)
Boff stations: Commander Engineering, Lieutenant commander Tactical, 2x Lieutenant universals, ensign science
Console Layout
4x Engineering console slots
1x Science console slot
5x Tactical console slots
even though this nullifies most science abilities, this shows the mirror universe oddy to be a devastating power house.
Mirror Universe Galaxy-X Class Dreadnought Cruiser
even though this ship has the same Lance beam array and the ability to equip a cloaking device and dual cannons it has a different boff and console setup
Boff Stations: Commander Engineering, Lieutenant commander Science, 2x Leutenant tactical, ensign tactical
Console Setup:
3x Engineering console slots
3x Science Console slots
3x Tactical Console slots
This shows the mirror Galaxy-X to be a multi-purpose vessel designed to withstand almost any attack giving it a balance between all 3 tiers
the mirror galaxy-X also has a different weapon layout, having 5 forward and 3 aft weapons gives it a greater forward damage potential.
Mirror Universe Tactical Escort
To me and you this is the mirror universe equivalent of the defiant class
this still has the same console slots and ability to load a cloaking device however it has a different boff configuration
Boff Stations: Commander Tactical, Lieutenant Commander Engineering, 2x Lieutenant Tactical, Ensign science
To me this makes the mirror defiant look like it was designed to withhold damage and deal it at the same time, at the sacrifice of high science abilities.
Mirror Universe Long Range Science Vessel
again similar to the mirror universe defiant this is the mirror equivalent of the intrepid
with the same console layouts and the ability to load dual cannons but not Dual heavy cannons, it has a different boff layout, it can load a cloaking device too.
Boff Stations: Commander Science, Lieutenant Commander tactical, 2x Lieutenant science, ensign engineering.
To me the mirror intrepid seems like it can compensate for the lack of hull healing with massive shield heals and damage potential
Mirror Universe Heavy Support Cruiser
This is the Mirror galaxy class retrofit to you and me as it can equip the Saucer separation module along with the ability to load dual cannons and dual heavy cannons, but because of the galaxy classes immense size it cannot equip a cloaking device. along with the same console layout as the prime galaxy, it also has different boff stations
Boff stations: Commander Engineering, Lieutenant commander Science, 2x Lieutenant engineering, ensign tactical.
to be honest this ship may not be able to deal great amounts of damage but I believe it has a greater healing potential as it can quickly heal any shield or hull damage as it takes it.
and finally the last ship
The Mirror Universe Multi-Mission Destroyer
This is basically the mirror universe equivalent of the Vesta class
It can use all of the prime vesta's consoles and aux cannons.
However this is an escort not a science vessel, with 5 forward and 2 aft weapons it can deal alot more fwd damage than the prime vesta can, but it still has the same base turn rate and crew as the prime universe vesta making it difficult to use turrets as an effective aft weapon.
its boff layout and console layout are completely different to that of the prime vesta
Boff Stations:
Commander Tactical, Lieutenant Commander Science, Lieutenant engineering, Lieutenant tactical, Ensign science
Console slots
5x tactical
4x science
2x engineering
To me this shows the mirror universe Vesta as a more science orientated escort rather than a pure damage dealer, this ship would also be difficult to tank in.
i hope this wasn't too lengthy but please reply asap as i'd like to know what people think

true but still what do you think of them?
Let's be creative. Sure, the mirror Oddy is an interesting idea but what about a Mirror Nebula? Don't just have the ships performing the same roles as their counterparts shake it up! Mirrorverse dreadnought as a Galaxy with a Tac-focus, firepower overtanking.
Mirror Defiant as an actual scout; science and tac so that it can probe into the prime universe and escape back to report. As an alt, Sciencie and Engineering with a focus on staying power and support; make it actually mirror the Defiant class.
Sovy as the Mirror-Universe science cruiser, adding support to the Galaxy's firepower.
Go further than that and give them unique consoles like Mirror Command and Control which can be equiped to a Galaxy and provides boosts to all other mirror ships in a battle.
Yeah, it'd never happen and it'd probably be pretty bad if it did, but its fun to think up, no?
What are all your ideas for mirror verse ships?
good ideas but these are the first few that came to mind
Eh, I was mostly just having fun coming up with some new stuff; like I said, its all about being interesting and actually mirroring the Fed faction.
As fun as i think those look, i have to say, The Hamster might have fallen off the wheel :eek:
I am Il Shadow and i approve these Shennanigans!

You were thinking this up as you went, weren't you?
Just thought I might point that out for you.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
My name is Rage, and I too support a revised Galaxy family.
Why not have no mirror Galaxy cloak? As I recall, that tech wasn't developed by the Terra side of the mirror for some time after the Fed's already had access to it; so by the time that they did have it, the Galaxy might be a little dated.
What about a cloaking Intrepid raider? That's a sight I'd like to see.

True, but I was mostly thinking that by the time the cloak was developed, better options would be available to the Empire. I would think the Galaxy is too big to easily be cloaked. Presumably, they would also be capable of generating more power for one, but as I understand it the cloak gets harder to maintain the bigger it is.
Sure, you could fit a Galaxy with a cloak, but why not have it be on a smaller ship? Not only so that it isn't the same as the Prime universe, but also so that it would make sense for them. Cloaked raiders are exactly what the Terrans would love.
It could be too that cloaking devices are hard to build. If you're going to only have a few, why not put them on the ships that will give the biggest psychological impact? What would have more impact than a massive battleship appearing in your face? Just knowing one could shadow you and destroy you on a whim.
Cloaking raiders would be great, but most effective when they can appear and dissappear at will, and have enough of them there that you can't get an accurate count. One or two that can run and cloak only does so much. Especially if they are the only ones who can in a group.

Yup but think about it the galaxy X has more advanced systems than the normal galaxy and the prime universe has the same, galaxy-X cloak, norm galaxy no cloak xD.
besides i think the best ship out of the lot i said has to be the mirror vesta lol

If you wanna respond to anything there though, post it here, as it's against the rules to necro.

You are proposing that C-Store ships (such as the Galaxy X and Odyssey) be made available almost entirely free-of-charge. Not only would that anger anyone who has already spent money on those ships, it would also completely destabilize the "ship" economy so to speak.
