I've been wanting an Aventine-style ship since before STO came out. The Star Cruiser is almost there in shape (needs more upward pointing nacelle pylon options), even if it is still like 40 times bigger.
Its nice looking and all, but to be honest i'm tired of these really long, smooth, speedboat-looking ships. I prefer the classic Saucer on a neck to a secondary hull with pylons.
I know its been done but I think theres a lot more that could be done with it, and it seems like 80% of the ships in the game dont follow that standard, which is my favorite.
Stop asking for more stuff and let them fix/finish what's in game already.
Someday people will understand that designing a 3D model is much easier than coding content and in fact done by different staff members...and its not like he asked this to be done tomorrow.
Yes. And I think if we're patient and give them some time, we will get to see this ship eventually.
They put the Luna in. That means they can get the Vesta in. I'm sure there's RL issues like getting through the process of getting it OK'd by CBS due to licensing. And then getting the artists enough time to get to it.
But I do think this is a very strong possibility in the future.

No, but there's a ton of things (oh, say the Klingon side of things) that can be done rather than adding even more to the already lopsided federation side.

To be fair, Adrasil could simply be referring to the many threads citing art problems with the details of the ships already in-game. Which the art team, including Logan, are very responsive to. But do say will take them time to get around to dealing with in-full.
I cite the Galaxy class ship and how many retouches it's already received.
I could be wrong about Adrasil's post. But it is something to consider.

Well that too.
It seems people want the developers to keep putting more code in without going back to fix the code already there.
to be more fair, this isnt code, its modeling. the klingons need content/episodes more than ship modeling fixes.
And again isnt it likely the OP meant he hoped they'd add this ship to the game SOMEDAY, like after season 2 when the klingons ARE getting more content, and the other models are getting fixed?
I just dont know why people leap to negativity with everything.

This!
I would much prefer they add the Nebula, Excelsior, and other 'classic' ships before the sleek one. They all lack character compared to the earlier and mid vessels.
I like the Vesta. Sure, I'd like it to get into the game eventually.
But yes, there are things I would rather see the art devs tackle first (my own pick being the Luna-class with the hope that it can be given the same treatment the Galaxy-class got to her saucer).
I hadn't seen this design before. I think the artist deserves some credit for thinking it out in such detail. I wouldn't sneeze at this making an appearance some day.
If this is a fan made design Cryptic cannot use it.
alright, what is the Luna class then? the legal issues aren't that hard to work out.
and as someone already pointed out i didnt say that i want it now. maybe season 3 or something. but if we don't show the devs what we want they will give us this: http://stowiki.org/w/images/a/aa/U.S.S._Victory.png
we need to give feedback in order to have the game shaped like we want it.

What are klingons? Theres klingons in this game? where?

he's got a valid point you know. there are no klingon's simply because there is nothing to do on the klingon side. everyone focuses on the federation side.
While I love the overall design of the Vesta, and would dearly love to fly it.(the Vesta being the Only ship that could make me excited about piloting a big, lumbering, Cruiser.)I've got to admit it would also be nice to see, either the Rigel class ship.
Just for a nice Change of pace from the usual Disk/Ovoid, and Cylinder styling of the rest of Starfleets ships.
but That's just me, and I've always been a bit of a rebel.lol
I was against this when it got suggested a while back, but having seen what cryptic gave us for top tier cruisers it doesn't look so bad now so sure whynot.

they are all CGI changes of the big E
While this would be an improvement over any of the current Star Cruisers, it's still a space whale.

I don't think it is. I thought the vesta had been shown on book covers before?
EDIT: For those that don't read the books, the U.S.S. Aventine is the vesta class ship that Ezri Dax captains.

its in the 2010 SOTL calendar at least. havent heard anything about a SOTL book...
it cant be a star cruiser. its a few meters shorter than the sovereign. those flying spacestations could fit at least five vestas.
Ah, that might be what I was thinking of.
Thanks.
i'll probably be shot for this but in case you're interested. there's a guy at bc-central making a vesta for BC.
What are klingons? Theres klingons in this game? where?
Oooooh. That is interesting. I'll keep an eye out.

Or the Altair Class.

If they ever made a show with that as the ship the theme song would be 'my boomerang won't come back'.
