Possible federation carrier? pictures inside

The ship is taken from Star Trek: Invasion game from playstation one.

The game takes place after the end of the Dominion War, occurring over several months in 2377. With Borg ships detected in the Titan system, and encroaching on Klingon space, Starfleet is mobilizing a force of ships to repel the invasion. Ryan Cooper, a newly graduated ensign, and member of Red Squad, is one of the pilots assigned to Lieutenant Commander Worf aboard the USS Typhon.

However, as the game progresses, the Borg threat is suddenly dwarfed by the re-emergence of an alien race, the Kam'Jahtae, descendants of an ancient Klingon enemy, the Hur'q. The reawakened Kam'Jahtae seek to reclaim the space they previously controlled, and are using the USS Sentinel in their plans. Cooper and the Typhon find themselves racing against time to prevent an all-out invasion of the galaxy.

Ship design its role and possibly armament all taken from Star Trek: Invasion

Thread 4 million and 15 on this subject.
Cryptic is not allowed to use ships and materials from the games of other companies like "Armada", "Starfleet Command" or "Invasion".
Those ships are still the intellectual property of the company that created them even after their license expires.

Get over it.

Oh that ship is ugly as sin! No thank you.

Other than the fact that this ship is another company's intellectual property and it has been requested like a bajillion times already...

Why the heck did someone get the bright idea to strap four Star Trek nacelles onto an obviously Corellian Engineering Corporation ship? I think I missed the Star Trek/Star Wars crossover episode.

(Seriously though, don't want, even if they could get it in. Not enough Trek stylings.)

actually... the typhon is a Battlestar with nacelles strapped onto it.

And the fighters for it are Startrekkified Vipers.

Never seen a Corellian ship or a battlestar that looks like a shoebox.;)

[yes that's a side view]

Even the Wild Karrde looks better from the side.

Best chance of a Federation built carrier is the Jupiter Class.......

size of a sovereign engineering section. not to mention, outside of that game, those fighters would have about 5 hp.

I want to punch that dude in the audio...

angrytarg

Holy Targ, that is one ugly mother...

Seriously, they did horrid things to the Star Trek license. Like, designing some generic space fighter games and slap Trek skins on that later on. I only heard of Invasion briefly, but that is just horrible

Oh, no, no carriers for Starfleet. I'd prefer no carriers at all.

I'd rather want ship like this one than the one OP propose.

A ship I'd like to see in-game as well, unfortunately I believe it only appeared in ST Legacy so it's unlikely.....

dkratasco

They probably can't make same ship (especially as T5 because it's TOS era ship), but could make some 25th century class based on idea of twin hulls.

What I think most are forgetting is that these things fly IN SPACE most of the time. You could slap a couple of Nacelles on a white box and it will work exactly the same! (Borg Cube with Federation skin anyone?)

Having said that, a nice sleek looking Carrier would be good ... I like the OLD Battlestar design The Galactica from the original series, that thing had some serious cahones for a Carrier/Warship, and most important of all the landing bays were a prominent feature of the design, something which the designers of most STO carriers seem to forget.
I's a Carrier, it's primary function is to provide a mobile platform for smaller ships to take off and land from, look at any seafearing carrier, what's the most prominent feature? The landing area!

Same with the Galactica large hangar bays on either side for easy access.
Though they would be more susceptible to attack/damage being that prominent, the design could be modified slightly to lessen that, which is why IMHO the Typhon is actually a well designed Carrier!
