Premonition from Armada

bigbadjohn2

Any chance the Premonition class from Star Trek Armada could be put into the game? Make it a Tier 6 ship, another option for the Delta Quadrant.

Nope. Anything from other games is kinda off limits.

Cryptic doesn't have the rights to it, so it won't happen. The cost of buying the rights to it would cost faaaaaaaaaaaar more than any profit that could be made from it.

Maybe its the angle, but from the picture in your link it looks like a Sovy with herpes.

I think the Premonition might have been a Sovereign variant or something... The design is pretty similar.

cryptic would have to get permission off their taskmasters at pwe and then cbs for the ip rights so they could pursue any agreement with activision for sta, otherwise they would have to goto rockstar new england for sta 2 stuff because back in the day they were known as mad doc software, the ones who made sta 2.

My little brother would LOVE to see that ship, but unfortunately, anything from a another game is off limits....

closest you will get to this, is sovereign mission pods.
that is something they could do for the same reason other games did it.

its a logical combination of other fed design ideas.

Well, there is one other "close" alternative you could get to this depending on what you like about it:

A Temporal Cruiser that combines Wells-class design with Sovvie design and maybe a hint of the Enterprise-J. The Premonition looks to have something more like wings than struts supporting its nacelles. It has a funny hump on bottom and the wings have cutaways which makes me think of the Romulan timeships. The big thing a T-cruiser likely wouldn't have that this does is the clunky thing on top.

That pink abomination was presumably the ship's T-drive but I prefer the Wells/Mobius style piston approach and think you could probably get those on a T-cruiser or maybe evoke that by having the nacelles spin counterclockwise or thrust inwards and outwards atop the struts.

A temporal cruiser that does its own thing could readily work as a Lobi store entry.

Or if they wanted to work it into the normal lineup, I suppose you could say that Starfleet is reverse engineering the Wells.

And if you really want to freak people out, you could indicate that the Temporal Prime Directive has been suspended after the Devidians, B'Vat, Taris, and the Borg have all proven willing to breach time and perhaps after some odd readings following Spock and Nero's disappearance. They could say that Starfleet is now looking at taking a proactive view of the timeline, for exploration and civil defense. And Admiral Janeway has been appointed head of Temporal Investigations which is constructing the T-cruiser as part of the Federation's new stance on time travel, which is that time is a frontier to be explored, colonized, exploited carefully, and subject to civil defense from a patrol fleet of timeships.

Don't disrespect the hot pink, man! It's the new black :P

All jokes about the color pink aside, i would welcome it if PWE got the license for Armada 1&2 designs. Some of those designs were pretty sweet and it could fill be gap in numbers between klingon/romulan and federation ships.
