What? Ahem...
They are working on getting it into the game. Using the refit NX would make me less inclined to blow it up.
Tho if this does make it in I doubt it will be spectacular. Probably tier 1 variant likr the TOS connie.
the NX means an Ship is New, Entirely Not Combat Proven Etc Lol.
NX Refit class
NEXT!
Well, Players Can Probaly Update And Refit The Class With Upgraded Systems, Weapons Lol.
NX is an experamental designation. Also, you can put mk X weapons and equipment on a miranda and its still just a miranda. Same will hold true for the NX class. (which I think unofficaly is called the enterprise class.) OR you could just use an Akira since its essentialy the same model. (lazy TRIBBLE CGI people)
And after this, can we please get refits of the Shuttle, Saturn V rocket and Eagle Lander, please..
Seriously, it makes no sense to have the NX class in STO.. The would be 200+ YO outdated pieces of junk metal..
Logically it would make as much sense to upgrade this as to upgrade a Ford T to have a 800 HP V8 Engine... Sure it could probably be done, but it would be far cheaper to just design a new car for the engine.
LOL they did that, called it the wild stallion I think. The point isn't that its 200 years old, It's that people want to use it ingame. And honestly we are flying around the galaxy at faster than light velocities using anti-matter as fuel blowing up cybernetic people who use nano machinery to transform others, firing photonic weaponry and somehow a 200 year old ship still in service is what doesn't make sence
There is enough to break immersion with the various character and ship names meant to poke fun at the Star Trek universe or just to be rude for some childish mis-gotten concept of cool. The dress outfits of course took this to a new level and putting in ship designs that predate the Federation will just be way over the top.
This is not about EVERYTHING Star Trek, this is about the trek universe in 2410 and dealing with the issues the Federation is facing then.
PLEASE DO NOT PUT THE NX-01 IN GAME!
I guess the Starfleet Design Group likes to go "retro" in its designs.
The NX Class as Tier 1 ship could be more escort like - faster, more maneuverable, less hull then the ShirKar. Some point between B'Rel and ShirKar.
The NX Class as Tier 5 would probably be an Escort. Heavily armed, yes, but weak protective abilities and little endurance.
It would be awesome if they could also add the refit that was proposed for season 5: http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2010/04/25/nx-01-refit-diagram/
Could be more "engineering-focused" Escort (Fleet Escort?) Or just an optinal variant.
At the monent most of the ship "classes" are just skins anyway so why not an NX skin for the tier 3 escort?
As i said is basicaly the same model anyway.
While I remain neutral on this topic of the NX class getting ingame or not, I would like to point out:
While NX in TOS,TNG,DS9 and VOY means experimantal ship, just like NCC is assigned to official starfleet ships and NAR to Civilian Starfleet ships, that is not the case with the NX-01 in question here.
The NX-01 Enterprise, has its prefix from the NX-Program wich is a whole line of ships (NX 01 -> NX 04 (at least)).
In terms of the Enterprise series, the NX directly refers to the number of ship launched from the NX program, such as the Enterprise being the 1'st of the series, the Columbia (NX-02) wich was not a prototype was the 2'nd.
I know it is evil to be nitpicking about this, but that is what was layed out on screen.
I dont think you realize how much would have to be "updated", not to mention the problem of there being relatively few NX class vessels to actually "upgrade", much less even fewer to survive the past 300 years
So.. We are looking at a total of 6 NX class ships (remember - novels are canon) so not a whole lot to begin "refitting"
Now lets think about what would need to be replaced on the original vessel:
Hull: It would stand to reason that newer alloys have been invented, leading to a complete replacement of the entire hull and internal structure of the vessel
Engine and Reactor: Obv
I think we were all refering to the NX as a class. And I was correcting superlink on what NX in the 24th century meant, but good info.
While I agree with most of what you're saying, I do have to point out that Star Trek novels are not canon, unless stated that a specific book is.
Not even the novelizations of movies and episodes are considered canon, as per Gene himself.
I want to wear my 21st Century outfit and drive around in this, looking for things to scan.
I mean Kirk and Spock did it so it is canon.
I vote yes on this +1
Doesnt improve the arguement, total of 4 planned in the series, with 2 being completed before the series ended (Enterprise and Columbia)
Just when you thought you couldn't make the ship even more hideous...
I Second That lol
Yes, It's Good We're Discussing NX Classes Lol.
Coun't agree more.
If it is implmeneted which we've already heard talk that it wil lbe it should be a tier 1 ship only.
NX class = Torpedo bait as it has no shields.
While old ships are fun to fly around IMHO they should be purely non combat vessels that players can fly around in and use to go on diplomatic missions.
The oldest ship that should still be serving any kind of combat role is the Ambassador class.
I may get flamed for this but I don't think that the excelsior, constitution, Miranda and so on should be inthe game as combat capable vessels this is 2409. There should also be no Enteprise J class either that'd bel ike bringing in the Wells class...
What Cryptic should do for players who want to fly these old ships in combat is create totally new designs based on the old ones. For example the Excalibur class has a lot of the constitution's lines but she is a brand new ship and looks really awesome!!! It looks like it belongs in 2409
I'm not arguing for or against NX class, just pointing out that you saying ST novels are canon isn't quite accurate.
NOOO Lol
And you have it in the Akira
My point was that it was not feasible to upgrade a 300 year old ship, it would be less time-consuming and more cost-effective to simply build a new ship.
Reagrdless of how you phrase it, you want a ship that looks exactly like a NX Class, while having the same power as a modern vessel.. You want to "play" Archer, Trip, Malcom, Hoshi and T'Pol (Ok, I could be convinced to play *with* T'Pol & Hoshi
Sorry, that would be like flying a Fokker Triplane against Fulcrums, Flankers, Raptors and Eagle.
I vote NO to the addition of 300 old pieces of junk in the game.
"Homo-Emitters"?
That sounds wrong in so many ways.
