How about it gang? Want some new Cryptic ship designs in game? Do you have a design you like from the old contest that you feel should get in game?
Post your thoughts, reasons and some links to pics when applicable. Let's try to keep it in the 'original' or 'unused' designs category. Meaning not something we have seen on screen. (Those are almost used up)

There is a working wormhole. It's right there near DS9.
And the Breen are from the Alpha Quadrant.
I would like to see more Cryptic Ships in this sandbox MMO.
Immersion went out the door long ago so just fly what you want and don't worry about what others are flying.
I want the Insignia Class.

Have you ever gotten to the gamma quadrant through that wormhole?
There will never be another Next Gen movie.
It's all JJ from here on.
They posted this placation to stop the nerdrage, but if you use the shows own mechanics, the current timeline is rewriting the old one. The mirror universe is a more stable alternate as it isn't being rewriten.
And JJ Trek is owned by Paramount, not CBS. CBS can't use any of the JJ timeline Trek without permission from both Paramount and from JJ.
Out leveling the old ships at lvl 19? No way, terrible idea, I'm sorry. Should we only wear the new uniforms too?(Only one design in that category I like) Part of the appeal and big draw of this game is getting to fly those ships from the Trek series you love. Yeah it's the 25th century in the game, but this is a game. Not a series. If you want the story and immersion, you can still have that, you just got to use your imagination a bit.
And that Insignia Class? I like it!
(The more that I think about it though, I think it's the 2409 Deflector Dishes. Those things look like TRIBBLE)
When TNG first broadcast there was a huge uproar on the BBS about how ugly the Galaxy was compared to the streamlined Connie and Excelsior. Thousands hated it and ripped into it mercilessly. It's all subjective and you're never going to please all Trek fans with anything.
So yes, I would thoroughly enjoy more of their designs. I'm pretty confident I would enjoy any design they have.
However, it isn't so much the design that would worry me about new ships they add...it would be the stats. Like Klingons wouldn't really need even more battlecruisers, I'd more want a new Raptor on-par with the latest Fed escorts, etc.
When they want to make something look awesome, they make it look awesome and get it right on the money IMO.
I would like to see some more original designs in game.
I think it has less to do with personal preference, and more to do with the lack of visual direction this game possesses. I think we can all agree that this game is woefully inconsistent when it comes to it's aesthetics. On one side, the TOS-TNG era ships, character models and outfits are all very realistic, while on the other, the environments, 2409 era ships, and body proportions are all very, very stylized.
If the game was consistent with itself, we could all accept new Cryptic ships regardless of what they looked like.

Not really. It was far more Star Warsy than anything. (But how that was relevant to what I said, I have no idea)
For example, they could have to carry a section of Marines in one episode and they might not get along well with a Star Fleet crew.
BACK OFF CANON SHIP NERDS! BACK OFF! I know you love your precious canon ships but this thread is for original designs only!
*ahem*
Anyway, I'd like to see a REDESIGNED Jupiter class carrier for the Feds. Yes, I said REDESIGNED. Not the ugly tugboat we have now. Assault cruisers should also get the Typhoon class skin, or introduce the Typhoon as a new cruiser.
Bridge Commander mods had a lot of interesting designs as well, maybe serve as inspiration for Cryptic's artists to design new ships.
And hell, I'll just throw it out there. Give me a Tellarite ship too. :rolleyes:
Everyone will always have their favorite, and complain the other is ugly because they think their own taste is what matters and everyone else opinions don't matter.
This list is of course not counting designs that are derivative of existing ships - see; Venture, Bellerophon, Thunderchild, etc. Re-imaginings and original ships are not the same thing.
I definitely want to see more originals from Cryptic. Perhaps a Reman ship line with a heavy Sci/Tac focus, or the long-missing Lethean ships. We've got plenty of Fed ships, and still a handful more to get through before we'll need more originals there.
