Really would like to see the Jupiter as a Starfleet carrier, at least a something you can actually change the skins and windows on. Been so boring stuck in an alien carrier that only has one appearance aside from item sets.

The Federation could use another Dreadnought and both the Jupiter and the Typhoon would fit the role quite well I think and maybe even be a Federation equivalent to the Scimitar.
I wouldn't mind getting the Typhoon in it's present state, even with the current NPC texture it is still a gorgeous Ship I just want it released so I can fly it and the Jupiter would make a fantastic Federation Dreadnought Carrier that has been a long standing request from many players and a nice Starfleet alternative to the Atrox.

The Typhoon would make a formidable Scimitar Clone,
Thinking about something like:
43k hull
1.15 shield mod
6 Turn
Cmdr Tac
LTC Eng
LT Sci
LT / ENS Uni
Consoles 5T 4E 1S
All Cruiser Commands
A Hangar Bay (pretty much the standard thing nowadays :P)
Ability to use Cloak (Because Mirror universe invaders do as well, so why we not?)
Some kinda OP universal console i haven't actually thought about
And here we have our brand new Fedaration built Scimitar-Like Dreadnought ship (should register the name for Patent )
(Balanced against the Scimitar xD)
Full support behind the wanting of the Typhoon and Jupiter.
My personal idea for the Typhoon-class if it was released tomorrow.
Designation - Federation Battleship, not Cruiser, for good reason.
Innate - +Beam Weapon Damage (Carriers over to Fleet)
Special Weapons - 4 Heavy Phaser Arrays. Like Beam Arrays, but sucks more power and deals more damage per volley. Only able to be equipped on a Battleship. Limit 4.
Special Console - Dedicated Tractor Beam. Able to use Tractor Beam or TBR with a 3min Console Cooldown. Standard skills equal to Rank 2 Science Skill.
To all the "we want a scimitar clone!"-no. The reason the romies get away with it is because the devs wanted to give the romies cool TRIBBLE to lure people in, and they side with the klinks or the feds, so if you want a "fed scimitar" get a romie=> get a scim=> ally fed. Also their ships are considered a separate "warbird" type so it doesn't have to conform to traditional cruiser/escort/sci ship/carrier labels. A typhoon or jupiter will likely have an engineering commander or a sci commander if one is a carrier. Let other factions have their cool, unique toys, think of new cool things for your faction of choice, not clones of what others have.
That said... I want a jupiter with 4 weapons lots in front, 4 in back, two hangar bays. no built in subsystem targeting, no cruiser comm arrays.

I wouldn't mind terribly if the commander was science in typical carrier fashion, resulting in the eng and sci above switching places.
Not a necessity, bit it would be nifty if it got aquarius escort pets. The aquarius was originally designed to be launched from a ship (the ody) so it would make sense. Defiants are too large to be launched from a jupiter, mirandas are waaaay old and were/are starships in their own right with no need to be 'carried' around... launching mirandas is like launching constitutions... no.
I think it would be interesting if a skin for the jupiter were to be done in ody style to reinforce the design heritage and carrying of aquarius escorts. Of course the original skin should be available for fans of it.
I fully support the introduction of playable Typhoon and Jupiter classes. After all I assume it would be easier to use the models in game than constantly creating and implementing new ones all the time.
Quote: The Typhoon Class is a dreadnaught that will most likely not appear as a playable ship until we increase the skill point cap to full Admiral. Even then, we haven't yet decided if this will be a player ship, but we can be convinced to make it so if there is enough support for it.
1: The Typhoon is a BATTLESHIP and will be referred to as such on this thread. The JUPITER is a DREADNAUGHT.
2: This is SUPPORT thread, and not for discussion. Use the 100's of other threads for that.
3: As said above, If there is enough support for the Typhoon and Jupiter classes, they will have a good chance to be added.
4: If you don't agree, don't post please, or at least be nice about it.
5: Go and post! For we WILL have these SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHIIIIPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Please make it all SO! I support your actions on this topic..
But, as stated above by others: NO new tier of ships.
(I don't think we have to worry about that though, that would negate many players cash investments in their current ships, and I just got to believe even Cryptic realizes the ****storm such a move would cause)
I agree, no new tier of ships unless we all get 2 free ones from the new tier and they don't completly diss fleet or T5 ships.
If they would upgrade to T6/mk XIII equipment it would cause massive rage of the players - all of our current ships and equipment would be useless-, i don't think they'd do that.

The devs mentioned an Admiral system where you can command your own fleet. If Tier 6 ships are ever introduced, then our npc fleet ships would be limited to Tier 5 and 5.5 ships while our Flagship could be Tier 6. This system would give more live to our other ships since there are a ton of ships that we have that are just gathering dust and we can't get rid of them due to it being an Event ship or Lockbox ship or we are using them as storage for our equipment.

Well, i put more thousands of zen in my T5/5.5 ships, so i don't really want to do the same again to get T6 ships, and i think many players will agree on that.
What i could live with on the other hand is some kinda upgrade system, you pay XXXzen /X Fleet ship mod to get your T5 ship to T6. That is imo the only possible way to do it without totally angering the playerbase.

Yeah, support for the Typhoon!
15 boff slots are a BIT too much :P.
Other than that, WANT IT SOOO MUCH
Don't think that's a bit much for a Typhoon? i mean it's even much for a massive ship as the Jupiter
That said... I want a jupiter with 4 weapons lots in front, 4 in back, two hangar bays. no built in subsystem targeting, no cruiser comm arrays.

I've not had my fill of them, om nom nom, I eats them for breakfast.
I think they will remaster it, again before they make a mirror version.

Funny, but I have seen Jupiters in recent episode replays.
