Would it be nice to have some ships that are a Call Back to the Piratre Era of fighting?

By this I mean... Broadside Heavy Canon/Torpedo/Missile Banks, T1 - T4 Get anywhere from 1 - 3 per side evenly of course, and T5 - T10, if we ever get that high, can have anywhere from 6, 10 up to 20 per side, the latter number being reserved for T8 and up Ships. All but one or two of these special "Blockade/Fleet Busters" have to have the Broadside/ Star and Port Side weapons obtained through exchange or drops. And of Course the usual compliment of fore and aft weapons... Basically ships made to fight, and to dish back... as well as be a throw back to the good old days :3

    No I don't mean ships with sails, though seeing some Solar Sail ships would be cool.

    I don't see the point.
    There were requests for broadsiding shiptypes that sacrifice forward/aft firepower to add lateral weapon-slots. It's been a while since I saw those, and all we actually got were more 360° beam-banks and the [arc] modifier for dual cannons as well as the wide-angle torpedoes.

    For the Trekified pirates and smugglers, we have an entire lockbox-theme centered around it with the ship from 'Gambit' and the swashbuckling outfit Picard wore while being undercover on Arctus Barans ship.

    I could see a Bajoran lightship happen at some point.

    Complete with solar sails and a deck open to space where people stand in EV suits shooting kinetic cannons out the broadside!
    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Well... you can always get some Risian cruisers, equip them with either Kelvin Phasers or Vaadwaur Polaron emitter arrays, and broadside each other.

    Risian only flew cruisers while levelling though.

    At end-game, cannons and exotic builds were preferred eventually.

    More seriously:

    This could be very funny. But they should at least get Alexander Siddig and Colm Meaney to provide voice overs for such ships and missions where we use them.
