Who wants a legitimate federation battlecruiser?

Cryptic....It is time the Federation responds to all of its threats by developing a massive ship with firepower to match. A T6 battlecruiser that is the pride of Starfleet. Something to let its enemies know...we are a major power in the galaxy.

There is something to be said, for sticking to your principle's, but sooner or later, the little guy must take down the bullies of the galaxy.
The problem though, is the classic design of the fed ships, does not really lend itself towards this end. A true battlecruiser, is packed full of big guns, and smothered in heavy armour. The Fed design, is rather spindly by comparison. I'm sure some of you wouldn't agree with this assessment, but that doesn't make it any less valid.
Although, Having said that, I think the basic design of the Intrepid, would be a viable place to start. With a considerable size and crew increase, you have something to work with. The basic design also has much more usable surface area over that of other designs. You would have to considerably increase the weapon payload and power output as well. But, I would be happy to see something along these lines. I totally love my old school Sovy, but an "Ultimate - supersized" Intrepid would just be cool! b^-^
What game are you playing?
The Krenim!!!
Well to be fair, I was going from the "story" point of view here, but yes, in the reality of it, I do see your point...

Lets get some balance and add some more Rom and Klink ships before we add to the fed roster ok?
Also if you want a crazy powerful cruiser look no further than the Eclipse, it's essentially the next evolution of the Avenger and when it goes T6 Fleet level next year at some point it will be one crazy ship.
But... But... But... The Eclipse can't be powerful at all! It doesn't have the words "Battlecruiser" or "Dreadnought" in its name at all!
I is confuzed!
I want Cryptic to fix this! Add in either "Battlecruiser" or "Dreadnought" into the Eclipse's name then many will now think of the ship for what it already is!
Hell, the Guardian fits the damn bill also.
Why stop with one x?
Let's go Vin Diesel and have a Sovereign-TRIBBLE!
Literally, I mean. I want my fed character to be able to have a KDF ship. Even if it's limited to just one ship and you have to jump through hoops to get it. I'm Rank4 in diplomacy (I ground out my dues) and I'm a hero of the KDF and we're all now friends and realize our prior fighting was petty.
As a great reward for my saving both Earth and Qonos in the same mission, I should get a cross-faction pass to get any ship I want on my fed (and same for my KDF).
Would you believe Fed ships already exist at T6 with the BOFF layout similar to your Typhoon pic in your sig as well as a better Console layout? Or a far nimbler, harder hitting version that still can be made tough as nails?
Or are Feds really that gullible to believe that the words "Battlecruiser" and "Dreadnought" in a name really make it powerful and sturdy?
Was this a rhetorical question?
But my wallet wouldn't mind a proper T6 Battleship (Typhoon) or a new T6 Dreadnought (Jupiter or Guardian-X). Heck, I'd pay for them up front.
The Devs did tease the possibility of a Guardian-X to replace the Galaxy-X a few times, and they haven't quite ruled out the Typhoon and Jupiter either.
Heck, I'd even settle for a T6 Intel Not!Vengeance copy that is basically a scaled up Avenger/Guardian hybrid bigger than the Odyssey, in full T6 regalia and the Avenger's exclusive skins (not like Cryptic hasn't closely copied before; see the Narada and the Adapted Battlecruiser).
Why would this anger, to use your words, 'spittle-screaming KDF purists'?
At this point we realize that the KDF and Romulan factions exist only so that anything of value can be eventually hauled over to the Fed-side in the next bow-tied (see, I'm being festive) lockbox they come up with.
Also, as others have said to the OP...Avenger? Does it count for anything anymore?
Since we're demanding a new Fed ship, might as well be an Excelsior, as that is my favorite Fed ship. Give it all the advantages, and none of the disadvantages.
Make it Tier6, 5 fore, 4 aft, built in ablative generator, sub system targeting, sensor analysis, Primary and Secondary warp core's ect ect ect ect.... yeah im dreaming
Only if it has an alternative Ice Cube variant... :P
It was more an adjective describing specific players who get riled up at the drop of a hat, not an All The KDF thing so much as the particular ones that, on seeing a thread like this, would descend like piranha for page after page of full-on ranting about the EEEEEEEVIIIIIIIL Feds (and every single Fed, no exceptions) out to get them. Hence thinking it was a targeted troll thread, specifically to stir them up. They used to be drawn like flies to this kind of thing (think about all the cloaking threads over the years), and I"m honestly surprised I don't see them here now. I guess they've moved on to other games?
I'll be down with that, too. If that happens, I'd say it was a good day.
It needed to be said because there's a lot of ignorance as to what's available to the Feds. There's some very capable selections to be had even sticking only to Fed only ships. And it's not like the solid choices from T5 are all the sudden useless ships.

The problem is SRO's Feds/Klink's being limited to only 1/2 or 3 tac SRO's from the romulan embassy cuts down the DPS especially the FTP playerbase drastically depending on the tac BO slotting of the ship
Now add in the T6 intell BO nonsense ( overide safetys/SS2 or 3 and the gap is even more huge
Consider the large amount of FTP Feds and the huge DPS requirement for adv /Elite STFs and now we come to the current DR problems
The Gap between the Romulan and Fed FTP player bases is so huge in DPS its comical
Cryptic should consider a system that measures a players potential DPS when they Q for content and set the number of players to match a certian level of DPS
For example if 50,000 team DPS is required for a STF Q and 1 20k and 6-5K players Q-up 7 players will enter the STF filling the 50K stf requirement
A system like this would also stop elite teams from making a mockery of content by bringing 5 OP setups into content that isnt designed for ships of that power
It would limit there numbers or place them in Elite content to match there Elite status
pretty much a no brainer and the only way to even attempt to balence a system lik StO has
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
You have completely missed the point of Starfleet. Well done.
To be fair, someone who doesn't know a lot about Star Trek aside from STO, which is an arcade shooter game emphasizing nothing but war and fighting, wouldn't know better.

I was about to say something, however this old post from angrytarg sums up what I was about to say nicely:
