That's very true. I think that's why the Command ships - especially the Republic's, and the Feds' too - were received very well.
Sorry no. The Fed ships are fugly. I would never buy one sinply because of the way it looks. The Fed ships too a right turn a couple of years ago. The Oddy came out then every design after that was terrible. I wont fly one ship simply because I refuse to have tail fins.
The early designs are actually better than anything they have released lately.
I would rather just have T6 versions of the early level ships than anything this design team would come up with.
personally I have hit a point in the game where I am sick of alien ships
The only thing getting me off my money are the star trek ships I like, Mainly the iconic ships like
The Galaxy class ,The excelsior ,The Nebula , The Kavort and a few others
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
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
Let's be clear: a solid majority of people, all things being equal - would prefer a more cannon design to a cryptic design if performance was identical.
that said, I would pay real money to have a T6 Patrol Escort with interchangeable skins, etc. I love that ship and would love for it to have a cool trait and powers.
In fact, I think EVERY ship (outside of Mirror) should have a trait of some sort, just the higher tier ones should be higher-level version or simply more powerful.
I like canon designs, I like non-canon designs. It depends on the specific design. FOr example, I loved the idea of a Tier 5 Stargazer, but not because I like the Stargazer design - but the Cryptic Stargazer variants allow some cool combos!
I find it a bit boring overall to limit myself t just a canon design. I think the only exception I really make is for the Defiant, though the Sao Paulo is so close to the original that it works just as well, and I tend to still mix and match between Defiant and Sao Paulo.
I like the kitbash functionality in STO.
For me the ideal Tier 6 ship is one based on a pre-existing lower tier ship that adds a new costume and the Tier 6 bells and whistles.
Star Trek Online Advancement: You start with lowbie gear, you end with Lobi gear.
I'm sticking with my Fleet Avenger. If they make a T6 upgrade path or a straight purchase T6 I'll jump, but I'm not going to move to any other ship design. I don't do enough combat, other than the occasional pug, for a small percentage dmg/res increase to matter enough to swap to something I don't prefer. The FA reminds me of a '57 Chevy with the fins reversed. It's a classic. Now if they would just put a Sonic Drive-In at ESD so I can pull up and order my chili-cheesedog.
I especially like the "metallic sheen" look from the Adapted MACO set - that the set's stats suit my playstyle is just icing on the cake.
Just give the option to NOT have: a Starship mastery trait; NO hybrid Boff seating or any further stat increases.
All I need/want is: A dedicated Dual fwd/aft Torpedo Launcher (in addition to the current 5 fwd/3 aft weapon slots); the LtCmdr Tac seat promoted to Cmdr & the Lt Universal seat promoted to LtCmdr; and +1 Tac console & +1 Sci console slots.
For this I would pay an additional 1500 Zen to the already 2500 Zen spent on C-store ship for the VATA console, the 500 Zen for the FSM & the 500 Zen for the T-5U upgrade token.
That's a TOTAL of 5000 Zen ($50.00 USD) I would spend to fully "trick out/pimp" my ride.

I'd bet on Fleet T6 upgrades before that happens.
The concept of T6 Fleet ships has oddly disappeared from the radar .
... like totally disappeared , to be replaced with one quick money making scheme after the other ...

So Much THIS.
You Sir, say 57' Chevy; I say 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe

Both beautifully awesome 1950's era automobiles.
