Tahoe Class in STO

I still remember when STO was first talking about before its release with new starships including the tahoe class. For though who dont remember heres a pic.

I would love to have this as a available star ship just cause i love its design and wanted to get it as fast as I could. Heck I'd even pay for it in zen if thats what it took and I never pay for anything in STO. I dont think its too much of a request seeing Perfect world is always making more ships for this game for its players and when they took the rights for the game I figure they have to have some sort of model to go off of from its archives. Common Perfect world, I dont even care if its a science ship or tactical or cruiser just give us a change to get captain it. looks like from the original pic it was called the U.S.S. Archer

    haha, no joke. I bet there would be alot of players in STO who would pay zen for the tahoe class. and hopefully get a sweet universal console with it.

    Tahoe Class Strike Escort. 2014!

    I'll get lynched by the KDF for this, but it could be the Federation's one and only raider-type. *hides*

    The Tahoe was created when Perpetual owned the STO license not Cryptic. Perpetual was really good at making concept art, but lousy at creating an actual game from what we can see. This is why Cryptic only had about 1.5 years to create STO which is a very short development time to create a MMO. As to why Cryptic won't use Perpetual's ships, then you would have to ask them.

    actually i'd hope it'd be the first universal class ship. not a science vessel, not a cruiser, not an escort or anything in between.

    a real modular ship.

    TAHOE CLASS STRIKE ESCORT Oh that would be perfect hypl

    thxs for the info starkaos, well I would love to hear from one of the admins from perfect world to expound on Perpetual concept art and whether or not they have the rights from the concept arts to expound and finally put the ships into STO. REMEMBER Perfect world, I speak for all STO players when I say, WILL PAY ZEN!!!!!!

    Ship already exists as the Federation Science Vessel

    The prototype skin idea there looks like an armored version of the Nova skin, maybe the Quasar skin

    I think it's kinda ugly. Not in a good way either. Needs some reworking.

    Actually that wouldn't be too bad, kinda like the first star ships we got in the fed. Just have universal bridge stations and equal amount of counsels. You could just make it what ever you want. although to me it looks more like a tactical or cruiser. The stats would still have to have either or for hull, crew, turn rate.. ect. But i still stand by my original quote. Strike escort *drooling*

    Too me I know that class came out way before STO, I think it appear on Voyager first, and to me it doesn't really match up that and the design really came from the episode not from the concept art

    thats what I thought at first too but its got its own unique design but I would say it matches up more to a tactical.

    I would pay 2500 monies for that ship

    I say monies because with all the forms of currency in sto I lost track of which type of money bought which things.

    I'm not sure how it works exactly, but I remember being told that Cryptic doesn't have the rights to some of these John Eaves designs that were made for Perpetual. They might have to jump through some hoops to get them.

    I think they look cool though. I say less out-of-time, out-of-place canon designs and more purebred 2409!

    The Trident-class Deep Space Science Vessel is 100% a John Eaves design. Heck, it could be argued it wasn't even for STO in the first place too. Yet, it is now in-game.

    I think you've got a penchant for massive understatement, that thing is plain old fugly. What it needs is to be put out of our misery.

    yeah its the Fed Sci Vessel, same shape, same size (see the windows)

    FederationScienceVessel.png

    The sketch has an armored hull texture, and pylons are different angle, thats about it

    I think Cryptic doesnt want Fed ships to look armored. There arent many armored Fed ships, couple of textures on the Assault Cruiser and the Star Cruiser, and the Avenger, thats about it for armored hulls.

    Good news for people in this thread though, you can buy it today! lol
