Proxima Class Battle cruiser

I was thinking why not the proxima class battle cruiser

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080304195846/startrek/images/c/c0/ProximaRefit.jpg

Its a sweet ship and would be a nice addition to the game i know the whole why not KDF why not RRW people will be out in force.

Im just wondering why this cool ship hasnt been added yet

http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/189/7/a/proxima_class_refit_by_admiral_horton-d7puupf.png

so i dug around and found some pics of the proxima class refit

http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/047/8/9/Proxima_class_by_enterprisedavid.jpg

its a canon ship so just wondering if this might at some point be considered in the discussions of new ships for the game.

so please keep the whole why not us KDF / RRW to a minimal and discuss about the addition of the proxima class in game.

    Nope, not canon. It's from Star Trek: Legacy, and its art assets are likely owned by Bethesda.
    You're right. The work here is very important.

    I agree with you, it is definitely not canon but I'm pretty sure I've seen it in other games older than legacy... SFC maybe?

    It probably won't get added since it looks too much like some of the JJ ships.

    Also, canon? Where did it appear? I only remember it from ST: Legacy.

    Possibly. I was just basing it on the Memory Beta entry.

    I did a quick google search and it seems that it was indeed an original design for legacy.

    No worries.

    While it's theoretically possible for Cryptic to obtain the rights to non-canon ships (and they have, in the cases of the Vesta and Luna), it's generally not worth their time/effort/money to do so.

    This.

    That said, if the feds got the proxima then I'd want to see something like the Ber'taa supercruiser from SFA for the klinks :P
    Actually, having refitted Akula/Apollo class boats as t1 ships would be pretty nifty...

    and It has two nacells not one cryptic so cant use the "we dont add one nacelled ships" excuse

    Yeah, that's the Akula. The "one nacelled" boat I think you had in mind was the Saladin, which was a tos era connie variant.

    The devs were asked about ships from other non-canon sources at the STLV panels, specifically the Achilles Class, which I think is from Starfleet Command 3. They said going forward, when they put in non-canon designs they are going to focus on their own original designs.

    JJ ships?? lol. I dont think so. Only because it is a slighty "old" design it doesnt mean it is JJ based.

    I think it's time Askray makes an "add this ship" to FAQ. :rolleyes:

    The Devs clearly said that they are not going to add fan designs or designs from other Trek games. They are focusing adding in the remaining canonical ships and focus on their own designs from here on out.

    dual hull design is incredibly ugly. i wont say anything more.

    The design is stupid, doing two drive-sections, which are build identically. Waste of space.

    Why do you think my Avatar is an Akula class.

    Where I got "Akula" from. They're pretty much the same boat, just named differently. It's one of those odd contradictions in beta canon. I always knew the design as the Akula until legacy came along and gave the "Akula" name to the Akyazi, renaming the Akula to "Apollo refit" and the Saladin to "Apollo".

    There's also an interesting dual-secondary-hull design in "Prelude to Axanar" - not sure why two engineering hulls would be considered a good thing, I suppose I'd been assuming it was some sort of carrier craft and needed the extra shuttle bay.

    I always liked that ship.

    The duel hulls always gave me the impression of multiple warp cores, more power and more battle ready.


    But it belongs in its own era, it would be way out of its depth in 2409/10, same problem as a T5/6 Constitution

    Yeah and that's why we're getting ships in DR that look like they belong more in Tron rather than Star Trek. :rolleyes:

    To me the new Tier 6 ship is more BSG than ST.

    I think there was a similar ship in SFC, the Fed Battleship...

    Ah yes... the Yamato class.
    http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060810224854/memoryalpha/en/images/6/6c/Federation_Battleship_F-BB.jpg

    There was also the carrier from SFC 2, which I wouldn't mind seeing a 24th/25th Century iteration of.

    If they redesign the Jupiter... I'd kinda prefer if they did something similar to the Ark Royal instead of the current thing. The current Jupiter is just frickin' ugly, the necelles are VERY FAR apart, and it just looks awkward.
