I don't get why people seem to hate the Excelsior so much lol
It's just so clunky, mis-proportioned, and fat. (And then made the Miracle Worker cruisers, who have many of the same issues, but with T6 curves and even bigger/uglier engineering hulls)
....I really really want to see Kleenex put out one of their illustrated boxes that looks like a Borg Cube.
I would like to see far more TMP / TOS skin sets but also group the existing starships together to allow better kitbashing. Also Akazi / Akagi TMP starships
Another bundle like the 31st Century Temporal 3 ships package. That is such a customer friendly bundle I'm surprised Cryptic allowed it. If not something along that similarity perhaps just a bundle of 3 T6 tokens so players could choose any 3 ships they wanted of the Store bought variety.
Broken record put back on repeat T6 Vor'cha T6 Vor'cha T6 Vor'cha T6 Vor'c......
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

- The ability to engage in orbital bombardment of any planet whenever I desire and have in-game consequences for such an action
- The ability to make my fleet starbase a Cardassian design ala Terok Nor
- The ability to make my fleet starbase a Romulan design
- T6 Hideki
- A promo Obsidian Order Keldon with cloak
- Playable T6 Cardassian ships designed by Activision for Star Trek Armada 2 (Never gonna happen)
Janissary Class
Gul Vasad Class
Gul Vystan Class
Legate Class
Rasilak Class
Kulinor Class
Sartan Class
- More hair designs for Cardassians
- Cardassian outfits from DS9 including military, obsidian order, and outfits worn by garak
- A promo version T6 Excelsior that isn't garbage
- T6 Oberth that can cloak
- T6 Vor'Cha
- T6 K'Vort
- T6 Ferengi War Cruiser (Design from Birth of the Federation PC Game)
- Add new ground based events that take place on planets that we RARELY IF EVER VISIT to add some event variety. Such events would turn pointless empty zones like Andoria into either adventure zones or battle zones.
Oh, and for the E*******r to be removed from the game and for CBS to CGI it out of all future copies of the TOS films, TNG, DS9, and VGR. Worst looking ship in all of science fiction.
But we already have all the main Federation ships from the movies, we just don't have one of them in a T6 variant.
Uh... T6 Miranda and T6 Excelsior. Both able to use lower tier models. And TECHNICALLY we have a T6 Consititution, but its the frickin' Promo ship and it can use Connie Refit parts.
A lot of people are wanting a T6 Vulcan. With all the Allied faction ships, its only a matter of time before we either get a T6 D'Kyr or something else Vulcan.

For all of five seconds roughly at the very end of Generations.
As for the folks who dislike the Excelsior, honestly I'm going to have to disagree with you given that the Curry-type* federation starship exists and is completely ridiculous. Go on look it up, your eyes may implode*. Seriously the Curry-type is a jumble of wrongs that makes the Excelsior look flawless. The only part about the excelsior I was and still am leery of is how thin the stern is, but that doesn't ruin my like of the vessel overall.

What the second Starfleet ship in Star Trek 3 was if not an Oberth? the USS Grissom to be exact
I had forgotten about that, that makes two appearances of it. Also according to memory alpha a later USS Grissom that was destroyed during the dominion war may also have been a Oberth. I'd say that's more than enough reason for a T6 Oberth.
Alright here's another one. I've argued AGAINST this in the past but I think I figured out a way that cryptic can monetarily benefit from it while maintaining some semblance of "balance" and it would be something that the players would like.
Players often ask for the ability to use whatever skin for whatever ship they own on whatever other ship they own. For example, fly an Arbiter with the Arbiter boff layout but use say the Galaxy as the visual. A more extreme example would have been to fly say a Defiant skin on an Arbiter boff layout. Now, clearly these requests go too far. But what if we allowed for this in a more limited fashion?
What do I mean by limited? Well, Cryptic would come up with the criteria/limitations but I would say a good starting point would be as follows...
Example 1: Any FED 4/4 Weapon (With Zero Hanger Bays) T6 Cruiser with command spec can share visuals. This DOES NOT mean that they can kitbash but you could say roll a T6 Galaxy with it's boff layout but use the Excelsior skin or the Vizier skin assuming that you own those ships. In this example, you would not be able to use a skin from a non-cruiser, a skin from a cruiser with a different spec, or a cruiser that has hangar bays or a 5/3 weapons layout.
The same would be true of other spec ships like pilot spec ships. Let's say you could use the Defiant skin on a pilot ship with pilot maneuvers. But you couldn't use the defiant skin on the phantom since the phantom is an intel escort. Now admittedly the pilot ships are 5/2 while the Defiant is 4/3 so this "violates" the rules set by my Galaxy/Excelsior example but as I said, Cryptic would be the ones to come up with the criteria.
This would be something that would make me spend more money. Hell, I'd actually buy the Excelsior since it could be used on a BOFF layout that isn't complete trash.
The real question though is would this be a good idea? Would it lead to MORE or LESS spending? Hard to say. It's worth looking at though.
When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

The Oberth also made an appearance in one of the TNG episodes, can't say that I remember which though.
I stream on Twitch, look for Avoozl_

Obelisk singularity core, of all the sets in the game this is the only one without a singularity core that i've come across, romulan players cannot complete the set if they wish to stick with using only romulan ships.
Draal - FED, Saurian, LV60 - TAC
Mirak - FED 23c, Vulkan, LV60 - TAC
Ascaran Bloodclaw - KDF, Gorn, Lv18 - TAC
Melchiah - KDF, Gorn, LV60 - TAC
Ne'roon - KDF,Lethian, L60, TAC
Turel - ROM-KDF, Reman, 30, TAC
Elric - ROM-Fed, Romulan, L60, TAC
Richtor Belmont - FED 23c, Human,LV20, SCI
G'Kar - KDF, Gorn, L10
USS Sharlin NCC79713 B (part of sheridans access code) - T6, Hestia Class Advanced Escort
USS Babylon IV - T6 Krenim Science Vessel
USS Brakiri - T6 Elachi Escort
"I am Grey. I stand between the candle and the star."
"We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light."
The Oberth also made an appearance in one of the TNG episodes, can't say that I remember which though.
I believe it was The Pegasus. The one with the phase cloak.
Actually the Oberth was quite common in TNG as backround ship or when they needed a small Starfleet ship, I can remember at least 2 possibly 3 cases of the Oberth appearing in TNG in a prominent role.
It's probably because they had the model and so didn't have to build a new one.

This is an accurate representation of borg in the game. They really ARE made of tissue paper.
Not the spheres.....
~smashes a sphere model with an anime mallet~ Me's hates sphereses!!!!!! >_<;;;
It's just so clunky, mis-proportioned, and fat.
....I really really want to see Kleenex put out one of their illustrated boxes that looks like a Borg Cube.
Could use some TMP ships....it's a shame Cryptic can't use anyone elses work...would love to see some Fed, KDF, and Rom ships from SFC2 in STO.

Couldn't stop them from doing TMP refits of their designs like a TMP Paladin. But yea... I'd have to agree a bit on this one.

Was also the USS Grissom in ST3.

"We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light."
– Grey Council greeting
And?
The Connie being almost like the only Fed ship from TOS didn't stop them from doing more...maybe people like the TMP aesthetics?
This is one of my favorite Romulan ships from KA/SFC
The Yamato was always a Fed favorite of mine
The Arc Royal carrier I liked too (Shares a few things in common with some fed ships in game)
This could be a T6 Vo'quv
The Klingon Battleship was also pretty cool
Or perhaps this in different colors.
