Can't turn worth a farthing CHECK
Lt Tac abilities CHECK
It's time.....
for the Galaxy-C
as in CARRIER
it already has two big butt hangar bays. get rid of the school playground and other kiddie support and put a couple of big ol honking hangars in there. maybe a couple support pylons to support 4 Miranda class frigates...

After a major redesign, of course.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

Just give it some more lens flare and be done with it
since when do miranda class frigates land anywhere? 2x defiant class would work better since they do land.

More lens flare and OLD SPOCK... -Abrams guide to making Star Trek reboots
...
I'll see myself out
Hence the constantly-said statement that it would require a remodeling before its release... but IMO even the current one looks better than the Avenger.
Don't forget to lego-ize it....
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
Agreed, major redesign... Like a total overhaul of it's appearance so it looks nothing like the original model.
Daizen - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
Selia - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
It could carry what soverign classes as its frigates.. the thing is HUGE mungous...
Eh if were fighting dinosaurs may as well HEHEHHE;)
The Galaxy has the bulk to make a decent sized carrier but would require a redesigned saucer to be convincing in that role but frankly I'm not supportive to efforts to breath new life into these old ships and would much prefer seeing new unique designs.
Both the Federation and the Klingons are overdue for a super capital class ship since the introduction of the Romulan ships some of which are enormous in comparison to their Federation and Klingon counterparts.
lol
Don't take Romulan ships as an example, the Romulans always had ridiculously huge ships in the shows, but the Federation or KDF never followed that model. And think about it, do we really need KDF and Fed versions the size of a Scimitar clogging sector space and respawn points into a complete mess?
Sounds incredibly over-powered.
I agree Romulan design has always been about ships that can operate alone or in pairs. I can not recall seeing more than three Romulan ships on screen at once, besides one time when that massive fleet goes past Deep Space Nine to attack the Dominion "Homeworld." While the KDF has always been about many small ships and Starfleet likes to build mission specific ships. Neither KDF or Strafleet is likely to build "super capital ships."
Also, I would like to point out that the Galaxy is not a weapon of war. Yes it can defend itself, but the design is around 40 years old. (For comparison the U.S.S. Enterprise CVN-65 was in service for exactly 50 years.) The Galaxy-X, which one can assume is a compete refit of the Galaxy-class, however, has no such excuse. That thing is designed for war and should have much more offensive capabilities.
Edit: I just looked at my technical manual for the Enterprise-D and saw the U.S.S. Galaxy was launched in 2356 and commissioned in 2357 making her 53 years old as of 2409.
Are you arguing with me or agreeing with me here? Because, it looks like your doing both... at the same time...
The Monarch and Venture builds are new, I agree and was forgetting about those. Thank you for pointing them out to me.
However, I must disagree with you when you say putting MK XII phasers on a Galaxy makes it a new build. There about a dozen major systems on a starship and hundreds more minor ones. Also, there is a little matter of structural engineering, given how much Starfleet ship design has changed since the Galaxy-class was launched and how radically different a "modern" design like say the Odyssey is when compared to the Galaxy. That combined with advances in warp physics it might be fair to say that the hull itself is becoming obsolete. Also, we should keep in mind that completely gutting a starship and replacing its insides might not be as economically viable as building new ships instead.
Of course, this is a VIDEO GAME and so economics have nothing to do with anything here :P (well unless you count Cryptic needing to make money). Actually, none of this actually matters on why the Galaxy shouldn't still be a useful end game ship. Heck you can even make the same arguments applying to why we shouldn't get a T5 Constitution. Doesn't stop me from wanting one though
Cryptic does not have the licensing rights to lens flare.
With this perspective in mind, I can fully see a refit of the Galaxy as complete as the Dreadnought refit to function as a carrier. I see the star drive being refit essentially the same way as the Galaxy X with three nacelles in order to facilitate the extra tonnage of the carrier-saucer, but with the obvious balance of NO lance. The saucer would be refit to support one wing of small fighters on the order of Scorpions or something else like that.
When going into battle, this ship would drop the saucer to function as the support vehicle for the wing of fighters while the battle section goes off to fight like a light cruiser. The Galaxy class is begging to be converted into a self contained light assault squadron. I don't think this is too much of a stretch in game. I'm still a noob so I'm not sure exactly how this would be balanced in-game, but it doesn't seem like it would be overly difficult to do.
I'd like to hear some thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Rob
Jupiter? YES
But please not as a carrier ... the game doesn't need more imo
But on the other hand ... a Fed ship with Defiant Escort Frigates (or basically any Escort-Frigate) would be pretty cool XD
