Can we get the Kobayashi Maru as a playable ship?

Keep it simple like the Cell Ship or the Tuffi Freighter. I would gladly throw $30 zen for a freighter for my freelancer/pirate alt and it looks kinda cool. Or just make it as a skin for the T6 Reliant Light Cruiser so we can at least pretend!

    The ability to move about while all systems are without power might be a bit OP.

    Several engines have had that ability since the beginning. B)

    It looks to me to be a Miranda with Nacelles moved to the top and cargo pods where the nacelles would normally be.

    I'd be happy with just a Kobayashi Maru admiralty card. Of course it would probably have negative stats but I intentionally fail most of my admiralty assignments on purpose anyways.

    Reliant skin? Doesn't it have 4 nacelles? Maybe I looked at the pic wrong, I thought it looked like the Constellation or a variant thereof.

    The bottom two are cargo pods.

    ^ This. Could easily be a skin for the Miranda, but I would love a freighter/Q-ship too. I will take either!

    I like the idea of it being a skin for the Miranda as well.

    Can we got a comparison of it to a Constellation class such as the Stargazer?

    I support the idea of a playable Maru, but I think it should be its own ship and not a Miranda skin. Maybe with an ability to drop explosive cargo containers. :D

    More like a Soyuz, since my vitual me toon uses one. But, apart from the extended 3rd cargo bay, and the tank pods, this is what the Reliant was going to look like, with the warp engine pods on top, rather than on the bottom. Because the producer or director, saw the drawing upside down, and did not realize it, and signed his approval that way, is why the Miranda is as we know it.

    I agree I would prefer a freighter version (Zen store purchasable version of the Cell ship or Tuffli freighter), but could see it being easier for them to make a vanity skin for the Miranda. 500 Zen or whatever, or sell it with a custom interior like the Pathfinder package that pops up now and then.

    I think it would be better if it were its own class of ship rather than a mere skin for a currently existing class of ship.

    Reaching tier 5 mastery in the DY-100 Class grants you the starship trait "Brig Full of As****es". Whenever you are the target of a ship disabling effect, the opposing ship is placated until they get the as****es back to their brig. This trait can only be triggered twice: once initially, and once when an opposing ship accidentally recovers your as****es from a prison planet that for some reason never got logged into Starfleet records.

    I'd love the KM as a skin for my T6 Miranda. It's an amazing looking model and it deserves more screen time than the occasional weekend event.

    Great idea!

    Give it a 'Leeeeeroy Jenkins' Console too!

    Leeroy Jenkins Console:
    Reactivates any and all disabled systems at +200% of power
    + 200% to engines
    + 50% turn rate
    + 100% annoying to ships attempting to rescue
    - 80.2 Energy Damage Resistance Rating
    - 78.8% Directed Energy Damage Resistance Rating

    Additionally, when active this console also emits a 'Lemming Effect' on it's crew, causing them to lose all sense of self-preservation and head toward the nearest threat at maximum speed.

    Also the console should aggro every mob in the STF including bosses not spawned in yet.

    Would be funny taking the KM into Counterpoint elite
