Suggestion - HMS Bounty Bird of Prey

tsukuyomi

Hello! I've been playing Star Trek Online for a few months now, and I've had a few different characters to try the different powers of the quadrant. I found, however, that as much as I loved playing a KDF character and using their ships, I couldn't participate with my Federation-based Fleet that I joined. So it kind of clicked in my head - What if you released the HMS Bounty Klingon Bird of Prey, but made it a Federation-aligned ship? Give it Disruptors, a Photon Launcher, and a Cloaking Device. Maybe some kind of Temporal Console? It would be awesome to have a Klingon ship on my Federation character. (Yes, all of you out there are going, "Well, just make a KDF character!") But that's not what this post is about. It would be a nice addition to the current selectable ships, and one that's iconic to the Star Trek Universe!

Honestly is there anything that's different enough from a stock BoP with the Bounty to make it it's own variation.

Legendary BOP— Crossfaction-friendly after completing the KDF recruitment and a weird BOP-defiant mashup for the anniversary ship...

It will be glorious!

Which I think has been hinted at already following the Titan thing. So yes, ships will all be universal at one point.

Then the Bounty would just be a skin, showing the ship name being painted on the hull.

Once again...NONONONONONONONONO.

At that point, just remove the final red vs blue wall and just let anyone fly any ship.

I've heard that a dev has already hinted that the Red vs blue wall will be coming down in the future.
Proof of this can be found in the availability of the Tier 6 Titan.

Personally i think it would be interesting to gain access to a cross faction BoP without the horrible art of the future designs.

I think it needs to happen! I enjoy the Klingon faction more than the Fed faction but I think the everyone should be able to fly the ships they want. I personally don't like the Excelsior but others do. We already have tons of cross-faction ships. One more isn't going to make a difference. Maybe they could even give us a way to splash it down after flying under the Golden Gate Bridge.
