How I would like to see the new ship classes being handled.

Dang, my Oberth class is losing the poll handily. So to Cryptic, I suggest the following that I saw others suggest in the poll thread.

- Oberth class: non-refittable/customizable that you unlock for use in certain Section 31 missions. It has full interphase cloak abilities and other high tech experimental options for these missions. Used as a skin, it has none of these abilities or it is just not avaialble to use outside these repeatable missions(I would be okay with this). Minimum missions requested 1 to 3.

- Enterprise J and Exnterprise NX: time travel missions. We already have them, so why not make more if people found the City on the Edge of Tomorrow like episodes so much fun. Like the Oberth class, you cannot use any of the unique abilities these ships may have outside of these missions if you wish to use their skins with your other ships. Minimum missions request 2 to 4(more of a good thing please).

The Enterprise NX could work as it could be a vanity ship a captain or even better an admiral pulls out of storage to fly around in for exploration & anomaly misions, but not really take into battle situations due to its limited capabilities such as the Constitution class.

Also, is the Enterprise J really as long as some people claim? That would make it a Mothership or Starstation like class ship would it not?

- Regarding the other classes, just add them all in the order that they win the poll. You already have plenty of feedback on where many feel the different ships should be placed in the current classes in the game.

    The E-J is as big as Cryptic make it which is determined by CBS.
    Since there is no 'official' number on how big it or visual evidence to support a number its size is unknown.
    You can go with the UNofficial number in which case: That thing is going to be a stationary addition.

    Yeah sure, lets see if Cryptic will have a moveable ship thats bigger than DS9 and see what happens in the engine. Gonna be really funny to see it try to target it's weapons with a range of 10km.

    Sure, why not.

    Dang. Why must you always be there to rain on my parade to establish a compromise for the Fed cloak or potential game breaking additions? :p

    Yeah, I know that most of what I proposed is unlikely, but many people in the poll thread want similar things.


    And thanks for more details on the E-J. If it is made into a stationary ship, I say use it as a plot device to have those additional multi-tiered ship combat zones that we have been wanting since the tutorial mission.

    Make it so.
