NX-01 Retrofit + Bridge Pack? Please!

edited February 2014 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Any chance we can get the NX-01 Retrofit + a bridge that fits the NX-01. Would love to see that added into the game.

NX-01 Retrofit = http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100722194044/startrek/images/1/16/NX-01_refit_quarter.jpg
NX-01 Retrofit = http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w214/dgclaws/NX01refit.jpg


Even more so a episode that takes you back in time to help them cause why not. That could reward the retrofit or something along those lines.

    There's little chance of this happening, seeing as it's not really part of canon. If they won't do a Tier V/Fleet Connie, there's no way they'd do an NX-01, especially how old the ship is.

    Whatever one feels about the show, the NX-01 is a ship appreciated visually by many. The refit version done by Doug Drexler is a great evolution of the original ship, showing the design progression to the Constitution class ship and beyond.

    As for it not being canon, how many ships in the game are canon?? Speaking of, Polar Lights just release a licensed 1/1000 scale model of this ship. That's about as official as it can get outside of actual on-screen canon...

    It showed up in Legacy as well, didn't it?

    That said, it's a really 'old' design and I just don't see a place for it outside of a novelty/lowbie ship.

    The only leg to stand on that I could see is while the Constitution is a 23rd century ship, the NX in STO is technically a 25th century ship just with 22nd century looks. It's a replica with modern technology.

    If they do release this, it would probably be in conjunction with some Enterprise content such as the Xindi being added and I don't see that happening anytime this year. That said, the NX-01 is one of my favorite ships and I would love to see this version and it's Bridge in game.

    looking at that side shot, it's more an NX with a Connie-esque secondary hull slung onto the bottom, notice how it still has the struts off the back of the saucer going to "mid-pylon"...

    However, I can see that being the "key" to making a T5 NX to go with a T5 Connie - that semi-canon design would "need" shields that all T5 ships have instead of the "polarized hull" trick that the T1 NX uses...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    i find it laughable that people say ST Ent was not cannon? it was but the problem was the producers tried some thing new that simply did not work. I for one would LOVE an enterprise refit/ retro fit. and would love a bridge pack. I would also love the bridge from the Motion Picture. but hey, im sure they will get round to it at some point

    I personally Loved ST Enterprise. I would also challenge all claims that its not cannon. You can reference almost every show they will refer to Archer and The NX 01 how is this not cannon?

    On topic I would also greatly appreciate a refit and this bridge :)

    People are not saying that ENT is not canon, but that the season 5 retrofit of the NX class is not canon which is correct as there was no 5th season thus no refit.

    Its no surprise it got cancelled really though as the early seasons of ENT were its undoing.

    The show suffered through many different things. One being way too much trek on TV at the time. They bent canon a little bit, mainly the klingons, the Borg. The opening song was not trek I thought it made seem like Dawson's Creek in space. The writing was coming around but it was too late. If it would have made it to and through Season 5 it woul dhave been more appreciated.

    Hi,

    I agree with you. I've only seen a handful of episodes of 'Star Trek: Enterprise' and I've always believed it to be canon. I'd love to see a bridge pack for this as well.

    Even more welcomed (as you mentioned) would be bridge packs for the Star Trek movies ... the refit USS Enterprise (Motion Picture, The Wrath Of Khan) as well as the Excelsior, Reliant, Grissom, the Enterprise NCC-1701-A, B, and the Enterprise E of the Next Gen movies.

    I think it may also be about legalities about certain things we'd like to see in Star Trek Online... perhaps it's negotiating with Paramount / CBS that a very busy Cryptic / Perfect World staff would have to do first.

    Here's hoping! :)

    I'd rather interiors that are 24th century/modern era. Wasting the resources to make a 200 plus year old interior is foolish when they could at least do an Intrepid/Galaxy or Sovereign one (any of these would get far more use).

    An NX interior would get little customers.

    Indeed. That second season of the show killed it IMO. It was a truly uninspired, dreadful collection of episodes.

    Well you don't have that leg to stand on. The Constitution in STO is also a replica with modern technology.

    Ha! I've been saying that for years!

    Honestly, it'd be really cool if they released the ship as a tier 2 vessel that could be usable at t5-6ish by enhancing the BO powers and the BO Powers alone. I think the last time I made that argument somebody tried to point out that somehow BO powers correspond to tech, but I'd argue that firing four photon torpedos at once was something they've been able to do for quite some time now.

    And that's the response I've seen since well... since the game launched practically.
    Meh, guy is complaining about past ships when there are Romulans at Earth Space Dock. Seems kind of a moot point.

    No, the T1, T2 and T3 Federation cruisers in STO are 25th century ships with 22nd century looks and modern technology. It's the T4 Federation cruisers that are the old rust buckets. The retrofits of the T4 cruiser are just old rust buckets with added duct tape holding the loose parts that are ready to fall off.

    Well some of them...

    I think I get why people take issue though. I think the aesthetics of a Constitution class vessel shooting down borg spheres is a bit much for them. ****, it's a bit much for me.

    I just don't get why Cryptic doesn't allow you to have tier 2.9 vessels that increase the BO power slots. That's it. That way your BOs aren't wasted at that lvl. Before the whole Fleet system arrived, I used to roll around in a Nova class vessel and it was fine. The only annoying part was knowing that my BOs were useless. I think you should be able to increase those. It doesn't violate the technology bit anyways because the USS Enterprise 1701 (no bloody blah blah blah) was always capable of shooting off multiple photon torpedoes with the exception of the Wrath of Kahn where Kahn's Reliant surgically took out one of the photon launchers.

    So there IS a precedent. Now you can argue the canon-ology of the novels till you're green in the face (**cough...Aventine...cough**) , but there it is in black and white, so it DOES exist in ST's expanded universe.

    I would like to see it personally, because it is the natural progression between the NX and the Constitution.

    there ya go, it'll be canon soon enough, get with the making of it, and add some more options for Cryptic's sake, I miss the good ol feeling of a Cryptic customizer.
