Gomtuu: Tin Man class vessel

One of the more unique ships we saw in TNG was this one, an organic, self-aware telepathic vessel from another galaxy.
I’d love to see it available to players—even as an uber-ultra-rare reward pack. Since we’re seeing the Iconians showing up from another galaxy, why not Tin Man vessels?
Generally, what I think would work between the context of the game and the cannon storyline would be to institute it as an Undine Battleship. (note, not a Battle Cruiser)
Unlike other undine vessels though, this one is more hull heavy than shield heavy--to keep in line with the original vessel.
Unique weaponry should reflect the episode, meaning some kind of force wave, but the real value in this vessel/entity is it’s telepathic nature—which is reflected in its interaction with psi boffs ground traits.
Specifically, I’m thinking:
Empathic are treated as efficient,
limited telepathy and telepathic yield a respective 5% or 10% reduction in skill cooldown (for specific captain or boff with the trait.),
while other ground psi activatable traits such as telekinetic, rapture* or the reman life drain become usable by the ship itself in space combat. Mind Meld would work as sensor scan normally does for science vessels. tk would work as a bonus repulsors for the ship, rapture would incapacitate crew, reman life drain would reduce target's live crew and recover its own, Aenar blindsense would improve sensors, and maybe even seduce as a pacify (instead of a placate or confuse.)
*for precedence see the voyager episode “Bliss” season 5, episode 14.

So, go for it
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

In Star Trek, the death of great characters (and ships), categorically, is not so permanent as in the real world...
Does that mean that the Romulans get to claim them and their property?
And if so can the rest of us sue the Romulans for damages?
