This week, in an effort to "blend in," a lot of us
changed our costume when we went back in time. So my question is this, how many of you are going to take your Connie back in time to destroy the comet? It'll be harder since you will lose some weapons slots and BOff slots.
But how many of you will do it anyway for RP purposes? (I won't because I don't own it)

I was thinking my G-X too for RP purposes. At least I could cloak so they won't see me. My Excelsior is about 25 years too early.
Save the Galaxy, prevent Timeline Changes.... choooiiiiiiiceeees. Durn it!
Sounds like an interesting challenge I will have to try it on Irion my engineer/cruiser RAUH. Too bad the Heavy and battle cruiser captain skills do not work for either the Connie or the Refit. I will try it in the T1 Connie anyways and post some part of my humiliation on YouTube for any interested. Sure, I'm your huckleberry.
Sove sure is a piece of art.
I'm interested in how that works out. While the weapons themselves will be ranked up, the ships will be kind of frail. I'd love to see a video of the fight if one of you would be so kind as to record it.
But as it sits right now, with not enough weapons and not enough bridge officer abilities, it simply is not feasible to fly the TOS Connie beyond about Tier 3.
Otherwise, I would totally switch ships.
Here is hoping that one day we can get a T3 or maybe T3.5 "Retrofit" TOS Connie so we can use it beyond Tier 1, without upsetting the "it's too old to be powerful" crowd.
Perhaps something like this:
T3.5 "Retrofit" TOS Constitution Class
Available at Captain rank and above
Hull: 27500
Turn: 8 Deg. / Sec.
Consoles: 2 Eng / 2 Sci / 2 Tac
Bridge Officers:
- Lieutentant Commander Engineering
- Lieutentant Engineering
- Lieutentant Science
- Lieutentant Tactical
Weapons: 3 Fore / 3 AftCrew: 500
Devices: 3
This setup uses a hybrid model of the Commander T3 Excelsior and the T4 Galaxy Class. The hull would be slightly heavier than an Excelsior (Thus the T3.5 designation) and the Bridge Officer Slots are just a bit less than the Galaxy (Lieutentant Commander Engineer instead of Commander thus the T3.5 Designation). Weapon slots are increased to make the ship viable for upper level use, but not nearly as powerful tactically as a T5 vessel. Even Consoles slots, but without the major advantages a T4 or T5 Cruiser has, and a turn rate that compensates for the lack of hull and consoles for defensive stats.
I think if people had access to a TOS Connie like this, they could still use it for PvE at Vice Admiral and have alot of fun with it, and those who don't want to see the TOS Connie "beating a Sovereign class / Neg'vhar in PvP" likely wouldn't because it simply wouldn't have the staying power to fight a T5 Vice Admiral ship.
Everyone wins!
This is meant for RP purposes. And to add a bit of a challenge since the ship is obviously ill-equipped. No one here is under the illusion that the ship is going to actually do anything beyond that.
I don't see why not. Just say you're running a "prototype"
Hehe yeah well I went with my liberated Borg (face full of implants) BO's were a full Borg and a Breen and all they could fault were my clothes ><
My alt's away team consisted of one liberated Borg Captain, one liberated Borg Engineer, and one Bajoran Scientist. NONE of which were known to this time period....
My main's consisted of a Human Captain, a liberated Borg Engineer, and an Andoran Tactical Officer; so at least it was closer to being covert.
I just wish the game would recognise things like this.
Debating on what ship to use for the next mission, may dust off my Miranda for a challenge.
My Connie is named 'Golden Hind' after Sir Frances Drakes ship.
As for my Klingon im going to take my D7 Battlecruiser back
USS Dragon Ceaser and IKS God Hawk "name in klingon of course" FTW
I did that too, and I laughed for about a minute. Though I'm probably going to take my Sovvie (the timeline is already screwed up thanks to a Mr. Abrams) or my Excelsior, when replayable missions come out, I might just take the old Connie out for a spin, see how far I can go (and put difficulty on normal). It'll be fun. Also, I love how Drake says he's trying to find a way to go back in time, when there is a way that basically EVERYONE knows about. The slingshot effect. I have to say Section 31 is really going into the toilet lately isn't it?
But you don't own a Kia of Prey previously owned by Doc Brown...
Cloak: Cant blend in much better than that xD
Firepower and health: I am pretty sure that we are going to meet some "
