Aquarius Escort (Full ship) Idea

I was hoping that we'd be getting a full Aquarius as an actual ship. And if so, this is what I feel it should be:

Aquarius Support Escort
4 Weapons Fore, 2 Weapons Aft
Crew: 30
Hull: 21000
Turn: 23°
Devices: 2
Shield Mod: .9
+15 Weapon Power
Consoles: 3 Eng, 3 Sci, 3 Tac
Commander Universal
Lt.Commander Universal
Lieutenant Universal
Lieutenant Universal
Quantum Torpedo Console (180° firing arc), Quad Cannons. (in place of a battle cloak)

I think it would be fine and not OP (since it's basically a BOP with a fed slant).

What do you all think?

    3 tactical consoles????

    I think it must be 4!

    I would like to see 4 engineering, 1 science, and 4 tactical. If I didn't have anti-luck, I'd have a bug ship. :p

    The Aquarius should not under any circumstance be made into a full ship.

    The only reason Starfleet make an Aquarius is because they made an Odyssey. The ships are a pair like the Vulcan ship and it's shuttle.

    ^^^ Agree. There is no need for this to be its own ship. Leave it as a pet with teeth like it was meant to be. The thing is kinda fragile at any rate.

    I always thought it should be made into a small craft/shuttle for those shuttle-only missions, like the captain's yacht or vulcan tal'kyr

    I have to disagree with you. I like the aquarius, and would love to see and fly it as an independent ship.

    If you don't want it, fine. But some of us do. :p

    An earlier thread I created campaigned for seeing the Aquarius escort as a playable ship, whether it be as a small craft or as an escort. The escort idea proved more popular, with decent arguments made in favor of the Aquarius having a decent shot at being a Tier 5 vessel (size-wise, it can compete with the B'rel and the Jem'hadar attack ship).

    Branflakes ended up visiting the thread and saying he would forward it as feedback to the Devs. Later, Dan Stahl picked up my question about a playable Aquarius and said that while it was not planned yet, this was an idea he definitely wanted to see on Al Rivera's whiteboard.

    To judge what type of odds something has into being made you just have to answer this "Will it make money in the c-store" if Yes, then it will get put on the to do board. If no, it will not.
