My STO Ship Wish List (because I'm bored)

andorianblueandorianblue Member Posts: 88 Arc User
edited November 2016 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
This a list of things I'd like to see introduced into STO at some point in the future. It's mostly just a list of ships I think need a Tier 6 variant re-textures, but whatever.

Ships I Think Need Tier 6 Version
  1. Ambassador class: This is the only ship that was an Enterprise that doesn't have a T6 version (besides the NX) and I think every former Enterprise deserves a T6.
  2. Orion and Gorn ships: There are already t5 ships for the Gorn and Orions and the Nausicaan ship already got a T6 version. I think this is something people with Orion and Gorn characters would appreciate (I know I would).
  3. Steamrunner class: Though the Steamrunner pack is a recent addition to the c-store, it's actually been around for quite some time through Steam. I'd love to see a T6 version added.
  4. Nebula class: This has always been a rather popular ship among fans. That, along with its many appearances in the shows and movies make it deserving of a Tier six variant. Plus it'd be a great excuse to give it the re-texture it desperately needs.
  5. Vor'cha class: I'm a bit surprised this hasn't been done yet already. The Vor'cha is an iconic Klingon ship that's definitely deserving of a T6 version. Hopefully, with the introduction of the T6 Sovereign, this ship won't be far behind.
  6. New Orleans class: Even though its never had screen time as anything more than floating debris at Wolf 359, I've always liked this little ship and would love the chance to fly it in STO.

Ships I Think Need to Be Brought to Current Visual Standards
  1. Miranda class: Not only is this the first ship players get to use, but it's also an iconic ship from what is arguably the best of all the Star Trek movies. This model hasn't changed since STO launched and deserves to be brought as close to its canon appearance as possible.
  2. Constitution class refit: Like the Miranda, this model hasn't been touched since STO launched. Do I really need to justify a re-texture for this ship?
  3. Excelsior class: This one really isn't needed as badly as some others, but I think the Excelsior model can be improved. I was a bit disappointed when this didn't get a re-texture with its T6 version release like the Akira and Prometheus did.
  4. Nebula class: The Galaxy class model has been redone twice since while the Nebula has gone untouched.
  5. NX class: This ship may not have been the most popular Enterprise, but it was still an Enterprise and I think it could use a face lift.

Would Be Nice But Not Getting My Hopes Up
  1. Tier 6 NX: The only reason I'm putting this up is because we were told for years that we'd never get a Tier 6 Constitution class and now we have two so I guess nearly anything is possible now. I know there are people who'd want a T6 NX class, and at this point I say why not? Just do another R&D promo or something like that to keep it rare like the TOS Connie.
  2. Additional Costumes for the Kelvin Constitution class: STO is currently using the model seen in the '09 movie. At the end of Into Darkness you see the impulse engines are changed and in Beyond you can see the nacelle pylons angled back and phaser placements are changed. Plus the new Enterprise-A has a few visual differences of it's own. It'd be cool to see these added to the Kelvin Connie, but I doubt they'd put that much effort into adding costumes to a lock-box ship.
  3. Federation Class Dreadnought: It's not canon, and even though it made it made an appearance in the first Starfleet Tech Manual, I'd bet there'd be an issue over usage rights on this one, but I've always liked this ship. It'd be cool to see it introduced as a TOS dreadnought, they could make TOS fighter pets to go along with it. I think that'd be cool.
  4. Gabriel Köerner's Enterprise model: This one probably isn't even worth putting up because it'll never happen, but I'm doing it anyway. Remember when we all thought this was going to be the new Starship Enterprise? I remember being really disappointed when it was revealed to just be a fan model, and even more disappointed when the actual '09 Enterprise was released. I've love to see this made as a costume for either the T1 or T2 Connies and the Temporal Light Cruiser. I'll say it again even though I know you'll all point it out anyway: this will never happen, but I can dream, can't I?... I can't? Oh, I guess that's where I'll end this.

Feel free to comment about these or other things you'd like see make it into STO.

    They could just use the "refit" designed by the original artist, Doug Drexler, that was supposed to be used if it got another season. It looks sufficiently "bulkier" and could be sized up to match a T6 if they want to make it larger without looking too off.

    I can't believe I forgot about a T6 Klingon carrier! I'd love to have a T6 ship that can use Bird of Prey pets, those things are the best.

    Actually the Constitution model got revamped prior to AoY launch.

    The TOS Constitution model was redone, I was talking about the refit from TMP.

    I would be very happy with a T6 Carrier version of the Gorn Balaur Dreadnought

    Hoping the Nebula gets a revamp. One of my favorite ships

    The Guardian is based on some of the early Ambassador concept art and matches somewhat conceptually. Not sure why it wasn't deemed an 'Advanced Support Cruiser'. I'd love if it got tied in though, gave the art assets and turned it to a console set.

    Any t6 rom or KDF ships would be nice. They need science badly. On the fed side, a T6 temporal/intel vesta would be fine with me.
  • alcyoneserenealcyoneserene Member Posts: 2,414 Arc User
    T6 Romulan Science Warbird - with singularity core, subsystem targeting, and rom cloak or enhanced rom cloak, and a hangar would do as well because Vesta

    This post is so funny because I was just going to make a post about wanting a T6 Orion ship!! Yes Cryptic, make T6 verions of the other Klingon faction ships please. That should be the Klingon factions selling point!! This is their chance to make people want to play this faction!

    it doesn't matter what they add to the faction - no one who isn't already playing it is going to do so

    what it IS a chance to do is recoup some of the cost spent creating models like the warbarge, balaur and drekli - they already exist, so making them playable would be printing money at this point​​

    Need to keep a running list because I never can remember my good ones when a thread like this appears.

    (Insert multiple KDF ships here)

    Broadside emitter arrays in green disruptor

    I'd like some sort of heavy cannon that perhaps would only be equipable on flagships, something totally boss against large targets, like something on a battlestar vs. the basestars with brutal and juicy visual payoff

    People to stop filling fleet marks and leaving other fields empty

    Fed could use an updated fleet patrol escort

    More open ground battlezones like dyson

    More ground zones like New Romulus, say Ferenginar, Cardassia, etc., for playable species

    can't think of any more off the top of my head

    Everything I bolded isn't stuff that needs to go in this thread. This is for talking about ships that need a revisit in quality.

    Can the KDF get a new T6 bird-of-prey that isn't a lockbox ship please and thank you
  • turbomagnusturbomagnus Member Posts: 3,479 Arc User
    Personally, I want to see more ships following the Reman asthetic of straight lines, sharp angles, blocky sections, etc. I was kind of disappointed when the T6 Scimitars abandoned most of their Reman roots for the sweeping curves of Romulan designs...

    yeah it'd be nice if we get a new ship as a t6 sci vessel that's designed as a Reman vessel.

    I'd like to see the following get a T6 version, or at the very least have their skin added to an existing T6 ship to give them a new lease of life:

    Olympic class
    Nova class/Rhode Island class
    Oberth class (just for the lolz)
    Nebula class
    Sabre class (with Gladius option)
    Luna class (semi canon and it was Riker's ship)
    Miranda class (just because)

    I've always been of the view that people play STO mainly because they want to relive the shows and films they grew up on. And flying the ships from those is a big part of enjoying trek, so to stop people enjoying these iconic ships at endgame is only going to alienate your players.
    Nice lockbox ships and new temporal doohickies are all well and good but a lot of people want their favourite on screen ship at endgame.

    As per usual, I totally agree. And as you quite rightly say, "people want their favourite on screen ship at endgame" - even though that generally means using a ship that isn't quite as good as the 'Cryptic designed alternative' that can do the same thing better.

    But that's where 'fan power' comes in. The inability of fans to accept that their favorite can be bested by anything else. It's the point where the Borg Command Diamond or whatever says it's time for your ship to suffer a fatal warp core breach and your response is "Not my Miranda/Nebula/Constellation/D-7/etc., you don't" and suddenly you're pulling off combos and manuvers that were never thought of because there's no way on Earth you want your favorite ship going down to some little punk endgame boss just because the boss was designed for ships three tiers above it.

    We all know we've done it at some point.
