Suggestion - Sarr Theln Customization

wbaker256

I didn't know where else to post this, so I figured I'd post it here.

I, along with quite a few other folks I've seen on the forum, are less than enthusiastic about the redesign of the Breen Sarr Theln Warship/Carrier. I think it's safe to assume that most of us thought we knew we would get the Sarr Theln down the line with its original look, which I and several other folks seem to like. However, we did not.

I'm not asking that that the new design be trashed or anything (If you love it, more power to you), but is there any way we could see the original Sarr Theln design get added to the playable version as an alternate hull option?

This +9001

I wasn't really dissapointed with the ship we get but admittedly a little bummed out. It's not that the new design is terrible but the original looks like a carrier.

The new one kinda looks like a mutilated scimitar.

Only problem I have with the Sarr Theln's appearance is that it's too small. Looks ridiculous when you launch Plesh Breks from it that are almost as big as the carrier itself.

EDIT: Or maybe its the Plesh Breks' are too large.

I have to agree with the criticism of the 3d art department's efforts. I was hoping simply for an up-poly model with more rounded curves and so forth. Instead they gave us a lopsided Chel Gret.

Sadly, Cryptic doesn't "do" ship customization anymore. To them, "skin materials" count as customization. I don't think they will offer any solution to the folks that hate the new visuals.

HOnestly, I don't really see that as -too- much of an issue. Recluse looks too small to launch Mesh Weavers, and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how the Jem'Hadar Dreadnought can somehow carry up to four Jem'Hadar Attack Ships in its hangars. :P

Still though, the old Sarr Theln does look a tad bit small to launch frigates. I think a slight upscaling of the old model might help remedy that to a degree though.

^^What the OP said.

Failing that can the older model be used for... I dunno... Breen Cruiser #2 ?

All hanger "pets" are out of scale to their carrier and all ships really.

If they were put to scale, they would just be little pixels shooting really tiny beams and torps.

Still I do wish they were put in scale, or the carriers were upped.

I mean look at the Vesta with Yellowstone Runabouts.

I could see the original Sarr Theln being re-released as a simpler battleship down the line, but I doubt they can add it as a separate skin for the current ship.

I think that largely depends on how big the new one is compared to the old one. Like I said, it might require a bit of rescaling on the old one's part to make it work, but I think it could work well.

Alternatively, I wouldn't mind seeing the ship released alongside the Carrier as something along the lines of a Flight-Deck Battlecruiser.
