Man, I think the best way to make a new player's first T1 ship pop out at him and scream "Trek" would be to have an optional cinematic/mission where the player gets to see his ship in drydock. Then you can check out your interior before you go into sector space.
You know, stuff that would make a new player pee his pants when he sees his refit Connie/Nova/whatever the Escort is up close and personal. That scene from TMP was incredibly well filmed and I think a take of it for STO would really add to the immersion of getting a new ship.
