Dear Devs I have new ship idea, I May not be the first to suggest this but I think it would be very cool. Warship Voyager(VOY: "Living Witness") as 5/3 Battlecruiser or maybe a 5/2+1ExW Escort. Using all the Intrepid Visuals plus some unique Warship addons.

I agree on this.
EDIT: And the haters always have the option of not flying it.
Still, if they can make money of it.. cool, I don't care. Put it in if you want, not like it's going to have a negative effect on me, I just won't buy it. I'm still baffled by how many people request this ship.

Warship Voyager is not a real ship. You can travel to any point in time that you wish, it won't be there.

That would be the most realistic way to bring the ship into game if they wanted to. The Kyrians, feeling that the other powers of the Delta Quadrant were leaving them behind, built a ship based on their fabled 'Warship Voyager.' It could be a cross faction ship based on the general shape of the Intrepid Class but obviously heavily modified.
It could be similar to the way the Romulan ships are modified for the Tal'Shiar adapted vessels. It's actually not a bad idea.. it would probably sell well in a lock box/Lobi Store.
Well it be a great way for those that want warship voyager a chance of getting one. So yes it could work like the Tal'Shiar vessels in a way. Maybe one day they might consider doing it. They could even make it an event ship. Or anniversary ship at some point too.
The nice thing about the Galaxy X is that it's upgrade/redesign of the galaxy using pre-existing tech (as far as we know), so while the version of Galaxy X seen in the TNG finale was wiped from existance. There's nothing preventing Starfleet from making another version of that design.

Or just say that it looks like that in the mirror universe too
Right you are, but to be fair.. we only assume that the Galaxy X was wiped from existence.
While the conditions surrounding it's creation were erased, there is nothing to say that eventually Starfleet would not have invented it anyway. Especially in STO where we're at war with everyone all the time. The big difference between the Galaxy X and 'Warship Voyager' is that the Warship never actually existed in any form at any time. While it can be fairly easily rationalized that the Galaxy X would be invented anyway, there is no reason at all to think that the Warship Voyager would ever be made.. not by the Federation anyway.
Now if the Kyrians decided they wanted to make their fantasy a reality.. that's another story.
Picard would've probably had a say in this too.
Except the legend of 'Warship Voyager' doesn't exist for a few hundred years, as that episode is based in the FAR future, so that data DOES NOT exist, even a few decades later. Quoting from the wiki about Warship Voyager does not mean anyone in the current time is even aware of this, especially in the Federation.
That's true, I forgot about that.
The Kyrians fabricated the Myth of Warship Voyager in the distant future.. that legend doesn't even exist yet. The events at the end of Living Witness would even suggest that this future will never even happen, so more then likely it won't ever even be imagined at all.
Implementation of this ship into STO just doesn't seem reasonable.
Well, the episode is set in 3074, and although an investigation of the Kyrian system might show what is happening in the 'current' timeline, no-one actually has reason to go investigate, again because no-one knows. However, it could also be argued that from the episode, you can extrapolate that the Federation never visits this system again within that timeframe, and it's position is way off the current available space in-game.
So, unlike the Galaxy-X where Picard would've had memories of the ship, there is no reason in canon for Warship Voyager to come into existance, without breaking canon.
We have all these ships because Cryptic wanted to sell them to us. And we will have Warship Voyager if and when Cryptic wants to sell it to us. Whatever excuse they write to explain it's existence to be seen.
It wouldn't even be the first ship Cryptic's Starfleet defictionalized...see also: Dauntless class. And future ships we have by the dozens.
As for "Warship Voyager" isn't the problem with it that it's not only fictional but said fiction doesn't exist in "current time" as far as STO is conserned so there's no "inspiration" so to speak without breaking the temporal prime directive.
The Dauntless was in Voyager's memory banks, and as stated ingame, was the 'inspiration' behind it ingame, and the shape and the data taken from Voyager about the Slipstream drive and holographic capabilities, which they did replicate, is perfectly canonised and created. 'Warship Voyager' is not even known of by anyone or any planet, not Voyager, not the Doctor, that is currently accessible ingame.....and as with all myths and legends....they get exaggerated!!!!
They would have to find the Planet, which we already know, they haven't and won't until after not just 3074, but way, way later. Don't forget the scene at the end revealing that the events being viewed, where being studied even further in history.
And whilst Voyager is literally my favourite ship and series, I could not see why Cryptic would break canon this way, as usually they are pretty much true to the source.....and CBS probably would say no.
Agreed, that ship has sailed.
We're already using ships from the future, from the past, from alternate timelines.. at this point nothing is really off the table.
I give it another year before we'll be doing ISA in Tie Fighters.
They have no in-universe history and are as old as the player wants them to be; whether they're old ships retrofitted with modern tech or new ships of an old class built with modern tech out of the gate is entirely up to the player.
