Nebula More Variations

How about making the various Galaxy variants available to the Nebula Class such as the Venture Class, I've mad a mock up of how the Nebula variant could look (please ignore my bad Photo-shopping skills):
"I walked away from the last great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe and watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time, no space. Just me!"

Yes please to the venture though.

I've been wanting a Venture variant of the Nebula since they added the Venture. I really want them to fit making that variant onto the schedule soon. Or at least, someone on the ship team doing it on their spare time. Hopefully one of them can manage that sometime soon, after the DR ships are done.

The original model(s) also had a different shaped secondary hull and thicker saucer rim compared to the CGI version too:

I assume that pod is suppose to be the AWACS pod seen on the Phoneix in "The Wounded" (TNG)? If so, I like that you added that. As the Magellan is the Monarch parts, are you planning to photoshop create an Envoy variant? If so, I would like to see that one have a third nacelle on top in place of the typical pod.
Yeah I was going for the AWACS style pod on the Phoenix when I designed the Celestial variant.
I've just mocked up an Envoy style variant with a center nacelle:

I think I like that better than the sensor pod! Thanks!

I don't know if it has something to do with them being fans or not, but they definitely want to put their own designs out there. In another topic on this forum someone posted a very good observation along the lines of Cryptic wants and arguably needs to expand the playerbase. Today's potential playerbase was not raised on Star Trek, a large potion probably doesn't even know TOS and TNG which is why they need new designs that don't resemble the classic Star Trek aesthetics but are better to relate to by jetfighter/military aficionados (intelligence ships and basically every single ground item) or ships that resemble designs that are known from more popular sci-fi franchises (Tron, Mass Effect, Dead Space, New-Star Wars - whatever is "hip" atm). This sentiment has also been confirmed by a ship designer's twitter post in which he stated that kids these days can't relate to the Star Trek aesthetics and think of them as not cool enough, they want stealth jetfighters and machineguns (you need to look a bit for it, start with the designers note on intelligence ships in the GNN, from there you can find the whole twitter post somewhere).
The target audience for classic Star Trek designs is pretty much saturated at this point.

My remaining hope is that the ships will be re-released as T6, and they'll crack on with these requests if/when that happens, though I am far from optimistic.
...and people wonder why I refuse to put money in to DR. :rolleyes:
For the love of God, NO! The Nebula doesn't need saucer separation. The Galaxy was seen to have it, and has it, great. The Galaxy Dreadnought has it (makes sense, she's an upgrade of the Galaxy). The Prometheus has something similar. We don't need every saucer-wielding ship to be able to separate.
I like to disagree on this part. The Galaxy "Dreadnaught" should have never been able to separate, as the large phaser emitter fuses the two hulls together (it does directly into the engineering hull). It makes no sense to have this part separatable, let alone why this should mean the separated saucer can still fire it is beyond me.
Saucer separation was never meant to be a combat feature, though, so I agree with you here. The separated saucers should only provide mild fire support and instead have some useful gimmicks for use in STO (tractor beams, so you could send them off catch a rogue probe or something, though this would also need a saucer-pet UI like carrier pets have).

What needs to be remembered about the Gal-X, something I think even Cryptic has forgotten, was that in the Anti-Time Future where the design originated, Admiral Riker pulled strings to get a fifty-year old Enterprise-D kept in service as his flagship, despite its age and outdated systems - the third nacelle, the phaser lance, the cannons or whatever they are on top of the saucer, those were all part of the refit intended just to keep it able to operate on the same level as 'modern' ships, it wasn't meant to be some - pardon the term - next generation supership like it seems to be considered by some.
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
Season 1 TNG disagrees with you.
Worf (Heart of Glory): "When shed of its bulk, the Enterprise stardrive becomes a formidable weapon."
If this is true, the devs and their bosses are absolutely clueless egos in the void, as the JJ franchise is ALL any young person today thinks about when they hear "Star Trek". So then they decide to play STO, and discover something completely different? lol This is the business reasoning of a gorilla.
Why not? Because you think getting angry about nothing makes you seem knowledgeable or in charge?
The only reason a micro-transaction-based MMO doesn't release skins like this is because they are allergic to money. As they recently released the Constellation skin, perhaps they've obtained an antihistamine.
