Legendary ships, which next?

chrisevans34chrisevans34 Member Posts: 260 Arc User
So just got to thinking, weve had several legendary ships come out of some of our favourite ships, which would you like to see next?
Personally, i cant wait for a Legendary version of the Jemhadar dreadnought carrier! i mean its been in the game since 2013! 10 years of the ship think its defo time for a really good upgrade! now id love it to become a miracle worker specialist ship but id be hapy to have it updated either way! just my thoughts :)

    There are only three ships remaining that I think deserve legendary status.

    The Prometheus, the Nebula and the Star Cruiser.

    The first two because they appeared in multiple series. The filler role that ships like the Nebula (just like the Akira) performed whenever a showrunner thought 'we need a or some Starfleet ship(s) here' means they have become representative of what makes a Starfleet ship a Starfleet ship.
    With the Prometheus being referred to in Prodigy (apparently, if Memory Alpha is correct), that class seems to be playing a major role in Starfleet too.

    As for the Star Cruiser: simply because it's (also) been in the game for a very long time. I've always considered it to be everything a cruiser should be.

    Personally, I'm hoping for a Legendary Neghvar Juggernaut.

    It appeared in TNG, DS9, and VOY. I presume Temporal would make the most sense as it was regularly involved in alternate timelines; but I'd love to see it as Intel primary for gameplay reasons. (Surgical Strikes, Intel Team, etc.) The weaponpods on the wings scream 'juggernaut array'; and were able to severely damage DS9's shields in a single volley.

    As for the Legendary JHDC; I really hope they give it the Vanguard treatment when/if they actually make one. I wouldn't mind seeing it turned into a SciDread either; trading a hangar for the wingmen and a secondary deflector. It would distinguish it from the existing dedicated Jem carriers while carving out a 'flagship' niche for the faction that is different from the others' flagships. Maybe a trait that can regularly summon in Battlecruisers to really give it a sense of being a fleet command ship like in the show.

    god i hope not, sorry but science carriers just dont do it for me at all, and wouldnt be the jem dreadnought then.
    yeah another type ship to fill out what you say, but if they changed the dread carrier when making a legendary version, would be a waste in my eyes, like all the other legendary versions of ships, they just tweaked them a wee bit, but kept them basically the same......What they did with the defiant, actually made sense giving it pilot speciality and the works afterall it is a tactical escort that really kicks butt....but yeah be interesting to see what they could do.....i like the trait idea of summoning in more ships....maybe instead of calling in battle ships...have a ability with a trait fot this....have a trait that can add more pets, like it adds a extra pet per launch so instead of 3 fighters at a time gives us 4 instead... or 2 frigates at a time.....8 bug pets out with my jem dread be badass lol....

    I think we're more likely to see a Legendary Negh'var and Prometheus. As for the Jem'Hadar, yea probably the Dreadnought. Nothing really left for the Romulans. I am hoping we eventually get a Legendary Bortasqu' so that the Klingons have their Legendary Flagship finally since Fed and Romulans have theirs.

    The multi-mission Vesta has a legendary version already.

    The Kumari also deserves to get a legendary indeed.

    I've already suggested a Legendary Constellation-class.

    I'm pretty sure the next one will be the Legendary Oberth it just makes a lot of sense.

    You are both wrong.

    The next legendary is far more likely to be the Legendary Argo. The car, I mean.


    It'll come with a hangar bay and an unique Tesla Roadster pet.

    Special trait: Picard Manoeuvre II - clicky - makes your Argo travel at truly unsafe velocities, throwing you to the edge of the map and then throwing you off of it in 4.7 seconds. You are then returned to your ship, which is waiting in sector space. Can only be slotted while flying the Legendary Argo.

    Special console: Ooohh! it's a Superfluous Head of built-In Talking Droid! aka OH S.H.I.T.D. - has a 50% chance to distract your captain/helmsman while performing the Picard Manoeuvre II just enough so that you don't make it back to your ship. You are still thrown of the map however, and have to rejoin a queue to try again. Can only be activated when PM II is active.

    In the other 50% of cases, your first officer, chief tactical officer (and any counselor doffs) leave the ship.
    Can only be equipped on the L-Argo.

    Possible set bonus: Having any Android personnel as an active bridge officer reduces the chance of OH S.H.I.T.D.'s distraction being succesful to 25%. You lose said Android personnel however, as their head takes the place of the Superfluous one.


    It will be a regular C-store ship, no bundle, only 3000 Zen.

    It only has the one variant, so they'll first need to make another T6 c-store oberth (mirror or just another spec) before they can get to Legendary. Ie. what we really need here are two more Oberths.

    I can go along with that, perhaps one with two canoe's under the saucer section, for greater stability and maneuvering. Of course it will need 6 fore weapons and 5 aft

      Legendary Vo'Quv Carrier

      It's very big, it's very very slow, it launches To'Duj Fighters!

      (I do have a soft spot for my first carrier, but there's no way I'd pay 6,000 zen intro price for it :) )
    • vetteguy904vetteguy904 Member Posts: 3,937 Arc User
      personally, I'm over the whole legendary thing. legendary to me is a hero ship. 3/4 of the legendaries do not meet that criteria to me. what's next, a"legendary" scout ship like in First Contact?

      We need a LEGENDARY CARDASSIAN KELDON/GALOR

      BTW Cardassian ground weapons please in this legendary bundle (throw in species/spirals obviously/Holo Elim Garek)? I KNOW WE WILL NEVER GET A CARDASSIAN FACTION....but one could hope for transporter effects

      The BortasQu' could definitely stand to get a legendary version finally, considering Starfleet and the Romulan Republic have one for their own flagships. In my opinion it should get a hangar bay too, like both of the others. It's certainly big enough. (Although the HoH'SuS bird of prey pet seems to need a bit of fixing; it doesn't even count as a pet for abilities like Engage the HYDRA.)

      The Jem'hadar should also get a legendary flagship, in that vein. Would it be fitting if they got a ship named after Odo?

      I'd fly that, Legendary Nova with the Defiant concept skin would be nice as well

        I could get behind that. I mean, the class debuted by stomping several dedicated warships. Yeah, warships stated to not be a match for a Galaxy-class, but still. All indications in The Wounded were that the Nebula-class was very much a capable direct combatant. Even with the later retcons, the whole mission pod angle still gives a perfectly good excuse for it.
      • nixie50nixie50 Member Posts: 1,347 Arc User
        I'd rather see a Nebula 3 pack, tac sci and eng. the difference being console switching and mission pod. mission pod could have sometyhing like the point defense torpedo launcher, the sci a secondary deflector (the main ship would have none) and the eng with tractor/repulsors or maybe some sort of pet

        I think the Manticore, Andorian Kurmari Escort, T6 Federation command ship and the Dyson ships should get the Legendary Treatment.
      • banshirbanshir Member Posts: 104 Arc User
        Picard referred to the ships in the fleet museum as "legendary starships". So far, these ships have not gotten the legendary treatment in STO:

        Nebula
        Constellation
        Saber
        Pioneer

        I can understand if everyone would prefer the Pioneer to come dead last or even never.

        On another note, I still remember when people were up in arms about T7s being a possibility because they didn't want to repurchase the same old ships. And yet, here we are ready to repurchase the same old ships.

        I think the Manticore, Andorian Kurmari Escort, T6 Federation command ship and the Dyson ships should get the Legendary Treatment.

        Not so sure about the Manticore. With all the legendary ships we have now, offering one for lifers might encourage some of the many new players to get a subscription.

        But so far, all legendaries were added through C-store packs. The subscription benefits have become less special/unique over the years, especially after the release of the Borg lockbox - which basically allowed everyone to play as a liberated Borg, with many more options too than lifers had gotten for all these years. So I don't like the idea of the veteran ships also losing their uniqueness.

        If they were to add a legendary version for free (or just for 3000 Zen) but only for lifers, I'd say: yes please, it's overdue. If it would mean, however, that everyone could get it, then I'd prefer they don't create any legendary veteran ships.

        Specializations have opened the door to new variants though. I just wish we'd get a new Spec tree at some point.

        Where would we use them though?

        As much as I enjoy creating full crews, there are so few opportunities to actually use away teams. And since we're unlikely to get new battlezones or exploration zones, that probably wonnot change.

        So unless they introduce some new type of content or make some other changes (like allowing one or two Boffs to join you in social hubs like ESD for example), I don't really see the point.

        That being said, they might still make it into a Boff specialisation, seeing that we also got the Elite boff training tokens... Which are probably just as useless for the same reasons, but were still developed nevertheless.
