A new Dominion ship, the Odo Class, or a 32nd Century Starfleet option...

Of course, Rene Auberjonois passed away in 2019. Aron Eisenberg has had a ship dedicated to him and I was wondering if Rene would also.

An obvious idea would be for a new Dominon named for him. Another option, is that although I don't care for a single one of the 32nd Century ships...I don't think we need to go into the toilet, toilet seat and tooth again, but in Disco, they mentioned that some of the ships have organic hulls. Unless I'm mistaken, we haven't seen any of those yet.

Maybe there could be a Rene or Auberjonois Class, which uses not just organic technology, but a Changeling morphogenic hull. I'd beg and plead for it to not be along the current 32nd Century "style", but something really respectful to such a fantastic actor as Rene was.

Question... what does an Organic hull look like? What do we use as a baseline for the look of an organic hull? Is it color? Does it look like flesh from a distance?

We've seen quite a few takes on techno-organic ships, ranging from the Undine Bio-ships to the White Star from Babylon 5. There is no set standard on what that would look like as... it would be just as diverse as non organic hulls we've seen as well. For all we know organic means organic tritanium or something.

Eisenberg is, apparently, also a city in Germany.

If I Google 'Auberjonois', I don't get any other results besides those referring to René.

I think that's why we have the Eisenberg class, and no Auberjonois class. Even if the Devs obviously chose this name because of the actor, the game can include the Eisenberg without necessarily mixing in-game canon with the reality of it just being a game based on a franchise that is driven by acting performances.

Basically, these choices allow the creators to add a reference to a real life event and person while still keeping up the pretense that there is no world (with actors) outside the Star Trek universe.
(Much like we have a statue of Spock, and not of Leonard Nimoy, even though it was placed there because of his passing.)

So, eh... An Odo class would be fine. An Auberjonois class probably not.


Also, we do have the Constable specialisation. And I can't think of anyone else than Odo in terms of to whom that might refer.

A better tribute to him would be to actually make Constable worth using over Strategist as a secondary.​​
