There is already a T5 connie look alike in the game.
Unfortunately, the non-fleet version was a 3 year anniversary ship that's no longer available (support cruiser) :

There is also a fleet version, but not much use if you're not in a fleet (ambassador class) :

It would be nice if you would add a cash shop version of this ship (like you did for the odyssey).
This would also help appease a lot of players asking for a T5 tos connie. Sure, it may not actually be a tos connie, but it looks a lot like one (at least more so than any other T5 out there)!
Thx.

There are and never had been any T5 Connie's in the game. CBS has told Cryptic "NO" to that many times. The best you can get is the T2 C-store "Exeter" class.

I know, that's why I called it a look alike. I'm asking that the T5 connie look-alike that I linked be added to the cash shop.
Right now there's an anniversary version of the ship and a fleet version of the ship. I'm asking for a cash shop version of the ship.
I just checked the ship you mentioned and it doesn't look much like the connie. The middle looks flat. Anyways I tried to rename the title but it won't let me. The ship I linked is by far the closest visually to the tos connie (amongst T5s), at least to me.
Ambassador Class
The two look nothing alike other than they both have a saucer, neck, engineering section, stanchions, and nacelles.
The Ambassador looks more like the Galaxy class as it was the stepping stone starship between the Galaxy and Excelsior.

Amongst all the T5s out there, I find it looks by far the closest. Like I said before, I tried to change the title a little, but it won't let me. However, the actual text in my first post should convey clearly what I'm asking for.
What is the difference between a "look alike" and the actual thing? If you are asking simply for an optional Connie skin to overlay and existing ship (by say using holoemitters), I think the answer from CBS would still be "HELL NO".
The look-alike is already linked in the first post. And it's already in the game.
have you not been reading the other posters? That is NOT a Constitution. It doesn't even look like one! That is the Ambassador class. It is a backwards evolution from the Galaxy-class Enterprise-D.
I call it a "backwards" evolution because the Galaxy model was designed before the Ambassador model. Several sources state that the Enterprise-B was assumed to be an Excelsior-class before that was made official in Star Trek: Generations. The Ambassador was suppose to be the midway design between the older Excelsior and the newer Galaxy. Constitution was no where involved in the design process.

A fleet ship will still cost you about $20, so for all intents and purposes it is a cash shop ship. If being in a fleet is an issue, shoot me a PM and I'll get you into my fleet and help you get enough credit to earn access to the ship shop. It'll only take you a couple of days.
I don't really care if he thinks it looks like a Constitution. He's allowed his delusions
It looks like you're the one who's not reading. I already said it's not the connie on my first post. That's why I refer to it as a look-alike and not the actual thing.
I refer to it as a look-alike because it looks like a tos connie to me more so than any other T5 out there. But it's only available as an anniversary ship or a fleet ship. That's why I'm asking for a cash shop version.
There really isn't a point adding one to the C-store.

It's not account unlocked.
I'm not sure why there's all these strange replies. I'm just asking/suggesting Cryptic to add the ship I've linked to the cash shop. It's not like they haven't done it before with the Odyssey.
Why would there be no point? They did this with the Odyssey. More cash shop ships means more money for Cryptic and more choices for players. Everyone wins.
They went a different route with the Ambassador/ Yamaguchi , bypassing the store entirely and adding it directly to the fleet shops.
The RA one wont be available again , it was for the event only.

They can do the same thing and spice up the c-store version. So if there's a point to adding the Odyssey to the C-store, then there's a point adding this ship as well!
The ship you are wanting is already in the game , in the fleet shop . It even has a different skin and extra console compared to the standard RA Ambassador class. No-one would buy it when the superior fleet version is already available.

Already answered. Cash shop ships are account unlocks. Also many players are not in fleets. Cash shop version means more cash for Cryptic and more choices for players.
You have to understand , Cryptic need to make money , why would they add a $25 shop to the C-store , when you can pay the same amount in $ for fleet modules and buy the superior fleet version .
Sure it'd be more convenient for the player , but rather pointless for Cryptic to do.
The only reason it was done for the Odyssey / Bortas'qu , is because they are the respective factions flagships.

Which is why NOP Public Service exists. There's the path to your Connie "looks very vaguely alike, if you squint real hard" ship that's already in-game.

No because Cryptic can make money off a segment of the playerbase that they otherwise would not. Seriously, why would they have Odyssey in the cash shop? They can spice up the cash shop version just as they did with the Odyssey.

Just because you say it is doesn't mean it is. Find a quote from Cryptic. Otherwise, its meaningless.
They added the ships because they wanna make money. Cash shop version means more cash for Cryptic and more choices for players. Win-win situation.
The Odyssey class came about from the design the next enterprise contest the game had
http://www.startrek.com/article/dev-diary-design-the-next-enterprise
( The Bortas was designed alongside in-house )
That's why they got special treatment with being the first anniversary ship AND the first triple ship pack in the C-store.
The Ambassador class , long requested by fans of the ship , was an anniversary ship that went direct to fleet store a week or so after it's release.
Now I don't work for cryptic , so I cannot say for definite why they didn't put it into the C-store , but what I can say , is that if you want an Ambassador , pony up for some fleet modules , because the chances of it being released into the C-store are very very slim indeed as long as the fleet version exists.

And if you squint real hard, you'll see that I already said the fleet ship is already in-game.
What does your "homework" have to do with me?
I'm just asking Cryptic to add a ship to the cash shop. I'm not even sure what this has to do with you, lol.
