I can't wait for the Typhoon to be playable. In fact, I believe it's closer than we think. And it will probably come with an Tactical/Intel BOFF station.
As far as the Jupiter goes, I really don't like it that much, but if there's people who want to play with it, then it should be playable too.
It's obviously not going to be released as-is, because the model and textures on the ship found in gamma orionis is very bad, so they will do work on it before release, but when they do that I think it should be made like that image, since this is the only time they ever really work on the design of a ship and then never touch it again, we should try and campaign to have this done at the time of campaigning to have it released, or we might end up with the horrible monstrosity in the battlegroup map now, or worse.
Well, the Vo'Quv has Bird-of-Prey frigate pets. It's time the Federation got a dedicated carrier besides the Atrox
In regards to this, this is what I have wanted since release day! A true fed carrier. I've always said it should be the Typhon (my sig).
For anyone that doesn't know:
The USS Typhon (NX-85808) was a mobile carrier fortress introduced just after the Dominion War. It was designed to carry 26 fighter class craft, initially Valkyrie-class Federation Attack Ships. Although it was equipped with full scientific and medical equipment, it was heavily armed with multiple turrets armed with twin mounted quantum torpedo launchers and dual Type X phasers. (TNG video game: Invasion)
In regards to this, this is what I have wanted since release day! A true fed carrier. I've always said it should be the Typhon (my sig).
For anyone that doesn't know:
Cryptic might release a true Starfleet Carrier since we need Tier 6 carriers, but it won't be the Typhon due to legality issues. We can't have any of the ships from the new Star Trek movies or ships that were first created in another game. Although, we might be able to have the Jellyfish ship from Star Trek 2009.

For anyone that doesn't know:
Cryptic would give it a brush up before releasing the Typhoon (from STO) or Big Bertha.
On the unrelated note, it's unlikely will see the Typhon from Star trek Invasion. Sadly
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.
I don't get the attraction. We can do without them. The Feds need a true Carrier of thier own 1st. Anyway, what would the Forums be like without the peeps begging for a ..... Typhoon Class? I don't get it.
If you don't get it, then don't post.
The thread is clearly for those that want it.. you don't so just move on.
A lot of us happen to like these ships. Different strokes and all that.
While I do like the idea of the Typhoon/Jupiter being put ingame, I'd want them to be redesigned slightly before doing so. The Jupiter more than the Typhoon, honestly.
The Jupiter just looks bad. Ugly, bulky quad-nacelle (the nacelles look too small compared to the rest of the ship) along with that bizarre column structure in the back (nothing like that exists on any other Federation ships and I'm puzzled as to their function) simply does not look appealing.
For comparison, I rather like the streamlined quad-nacelle look of the Prometheus, Chimera, etc. They look like they're a part of the ship, not just tacked on. The nacelles of the Jupiter should be large and sturdy, not attached by single struts.
This is just personal preference of course, and I know that there are people who like the current design. If I was in charge of what ships got in, though, I would have the Jupiter model redone before adding it.
I will only support the Typhoon and the Jupiter class IF the Romulans get at least 5 more ships, 1 of which MUST be a TRUE SCIENCE based CARRIER with 2 hanger bays.
Typhoon looks attractive enough, the Jupiter looks like it belongs in Futurama.
Jupiter does look big enough to transport federation frigates, Aquarius like pets.
would be interesting if they came with some type of unique weaponry, like 180° left and right facing heavy turrets.
Basically like port or starboard only facing cannons. Dismiss and reclaim ship to get full set, like people do for the Vesta Aux Cannons, and likewise can be upgraded.
Have them drain engine power like quads, and give the ship bonus +10 Eng, +10 shds.
I mostly play KDF, so I doubt I would be buying it, I'm still holding out for the New Orleans.
Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

I just gotta say that as much as I love to have a engineer heavy Star Fleet built carrier that Jupiter class thing is among the most hideous ships I've ever seen. Surely we can come up with a better design then that. Now that Typhoon class battleship.... theres a good looking starship.
My my, I'm gone for a year and now everyone wants the Typhoon and Jupiter? Where were you all a few years ago when I started my threads? :P
Whole heartedly supported, as if that's in question. Been an ardent advocate for the two ships since I started playing, what? Five years ago? Damn, it's been a while.

Well, now the support is here, the ships still aren't... (So i suppose what held them from creating playable versions isn't the playerbase's support)

In a podcast from one of the old ship designers (before he left) he and another dev answered my question about the Typhoon and Jupiter (actually pronounced my handle right too, which astounded me ). Basically they both knew next to nothing about players wanting the two ships and both of them had actually forgotten what the Jupiter was. When they remembered, both were shocked that anyone would want to fly that (how did they put it?) "garbage" or "mostrosity". Something along those lines.
Basically they had made it clear (two years ago at least) that the development team didn't have any intention of ever releasing the two ships. Regardless of the fact that there was and still is a large amount of players who'd gladly throw some Zen (or at that point Cryptic Points) their way for the ships...
/Sigh. Perhaps now that we've got these T5u and T6 ships we may see the Jupiter and Typhoon...
Personally I think the Jupiter looks hideous, and the missions/maps that feature it (as an NPC ship, AI reinforcements, opponent, or mere background scenery) should be revamped to replace it with a Galaxy-X/Odyssey.
I don't mind the Typhoon. It could use a retouch though, as the model doesn't look that high quality from what I remember.

Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.

Good luck. Galaxy thread needed 500+ pages to even be looked at
I have 2 T6 Ships (Guardian,Phantom) and I am currently dead set against ever buying another one.
The Typhoon would change my mind in a heartbeat.
Not a huge fan of the Jupiter, but I would like to see it released as well. The demand is there, the ships are already designed and in game.
Their release seems like a no brainer and an obvious win win.
The Typhoon is $$$
I've been here since beta
