    Not an actual canon ship but a Ferasan design would be nice. Adding to that we could use more individual species ships more as well.

    It's a cool looking ship...
    Second this. The Wishbone was my favorite Fed ship in SFC III. Was listed there as a destroyer. Which would make it an escort here in a straight import. Make it a storyline available ship for Dilithium. Add in a Fleet version but how about foregoing the Uni Console this time? Too many of these floating around already. Maybe some sort of 360 phaser mount instead?

    Id like to see federation frigates. For the lower levels. I mean the miranda in my mind really isn't the ideal starting ship. I mean the BoP you could consider a frigate.

    Federation needs an equivalent ship class. But so do the romulans and well the klingons could use some help also.

    Well I'd like to see a proper Hegh'ta class refit, IMO it's still the best looking ship in the game.
    Although the visuals should be "fixed* back to how the ship looked in season 1 with angeled canons and without the oversized and misplaced windows that were later addet....

    And a the marquis raider would be awesome ....

    Feds already have a ship for every possible playstyle and more ships total than the other two factions combined.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO REALLY?!!!! -facepalm- Did I not just address that fact?

    Hell I've been harping that PWE needs to put out a dedicated Carrier line from Lt Cmdr all the way up till VA for the klingons. That you don't have to play Zen for.

    ships i want in sto. that's a good question, for me like many players (i would suspect, but then again i'm not trying to say "this is how it is") i have to think how viable the ship is in the timeline, what evidence (if any), ect. but ships i think pass the list would be two in number,

    First - the Merian class as a replacement for the aging Meranda Class. give it a three pack and bring up the Centaur and ShiKahr classes for more skin opptions.

    Second - and the NX - 01 - A Dauntlass (witch has already been mentioned is non federation in origin, and a copy can already be made using the star cruiser line of ships) But i would make since with star fleet looking into slipstream tech, they would first look at a design that could use the slipstream safely and Voyager would have majority of the design schematics in its library. for why it hasn't been brought out tell now they could say that only a few were made initially then after the test thrown into mothballs, but now with the multiple wars that the federation is in they need every ship they can get their hands on.


    now just a ship i would like to she is an updated Nebula with pod configuration. not updated in stats but looks, have it look more in line with newer ships, or just with the sovereign. for more info look at my signature.

    Jem Hadar Battleship (as Cruiser)

    We already have the Attack Ship, the Dreadnought and the Heavy Escort. It's about time for the Battleship. :)

    How about no? Based on it being from a completely different timeline, some 200 years into the past? And that's without getting into the real-life licensing rights argument.

    Technically we already have another ship that just happens to be called a dreadnaught from another timeline that ppl can't even agree if it really happened or was Q's wild imagination. Plus I can't even start to say no to someone requesting a ship that federation in origin from any alternate timeline when half of Starfleet is flying around exploring space and fighting in alien ships that are enemies of the Federation.

    Buy the Avenger - it was created specifically to satisfy people who'd seen Into Darkness.

    Moving on;

    Curry-Class as a Fed Carrier would be nice.

    Plus that snazzy Ambassador Variant that's kicking around the internet.

    Any non-Fed/KDF/Rom ships should probably be held back, especially Jem'Hadar and Cardassian ones. Don't want to further complicate the possibility of a Cardassian faction, now do we?


    Personally at this point I don't care which ships we get anymore. Can't even seem to get the ones already ingame fixed to be on par with the newer ships, and never have gotten my Fleet G-X cause their busy trying to get saucer separation animation to look ok (to which most ppl don't care they just want the ship released with atleast the boosted stats and tenth console).

    If I was gonna pick a new ship it'd be the Typhoon as it's already ingame just needs a player version made or designed.

    Well currently I'm admiring the awesome model of the Miranda class that I got today from the Staships Collection. So that's the first one I'd love to see. After that, I'm afraid it's the Constitution and finally the Constellation class i.e. U.S.S. Stargazer. I love the looks of the movie era ships and would be great to see more at end game other than the Excelsior.

    I'd like to see a new federation escort that's on-par with the Jem'Hadar Attack ship. The Fleet Defiant comes close, but it's got that terrible tactical ensign...

    Would you be happy with just the CDR? No ens or lt in addition?

    I could live with that.

    Maybe a Tholian cruiser. Carriers and science ships are fine.. but I would love a proper cruiser with Tholian design.

    Yeah, let's just have Cryptic ignore what CBS says, so they can have the game's license pulled and get shut down. Sounds like a great idea.

    Technically the Galaxy-X is a different case entirely. Whether or not the future Q created in "TNG: All Good Things" actually happened or not is irrelevant, given that Picard retained his memories from the events, he could easily have passed them on to Starfleet and hence, Galaxy-X.

    Not to mention that the Galaxy-X was a variant of the Galaxy seen in a possible Future, not an alternate Past as the Dreadnought-class comes from. It'd be illogical to be building a ship in 2409 using the specs from one built some two hundred years beforehand.

    And technically CBS owns the rights to the Galaxy-X and this game, whereas Paramount hold the rights to the Dreadnought-class. So all the arguments as to whether we should or shouldn't get it are irrelevant - we won't get it based on that fact alone. /Argument.

    Moving on - a Science Warbird that doesn't make me want to claw my own eyes out, a la the Ha'Nom

    I'd say you wouldn't even have to go that far. A refit of that magnitude was probably already on the drawing board somewhere, its just this timeline didn't have its Ent-D survive long enough to get it.

    I'm okay with the Ha'apax, based on it looks like what it's supposed to look like; a ship that splits into two.

    I'm not okay with the Ha'Nom and Ha'Feh because they also look like what they're supposed to look like; Half a damn ship.

    Hah, I wouldn't hold your breath.

    As to your link; Probably not. I've never heard of ST Odyssey but i'm going to assume it's a fan-made web series. In which case, CBS (and therefore Cryptic) probably doesn't own the rights to use said ship.

    Don't know why you'd want it though. It's clearly just a b*stardised Galaxy with some bits from other ships and the textures from the Sovereign.

    Personally, I'd settle for Admiral-level versions of the Constitution refit, Miranda, and the other lower-level ships. Seems odd that Kirk commanded the 1701-A as an admiral but we can only play it at CDR level.
