I don't know if very many people noticed by for a while when the Mirror Universe Heavy Cruiser Retrofit was first available, one of the saucer skin options was a Constellation-class. None of the other parts were skinable with Constellation type looks though.
I actually liked that old-school look and have it to this day on my ship; I realize that they pulled it but it would be REALLY nice if they would finish the skins and make it available again!
But then I like the Excelsior because it looks like a serious ship.
So, Devs, PLEASE bring back the Constellation-class skin with all it's pieces! Please!
Would be nice to have a ship that's a kitbash of the old, odd styles like some of the crazy ones in TNG during the Wolf 359 Borg incursion. I would even pay Zen! Seriously. Thanks.

The appearance on the MU version was just a glitch.
Have faith, have patience and then...have fun when the ship finally arrives.:D

None of those are constellation class.

No, really, none of them are the Constellation.
The Cheyenne is its own class. A kitbash ship that appeared on screen as cannon fodder at wolf 359. The Dakota and Stargazer are Cryptic designs. The Stargazer is named after Picard's first command, which WAS a Constellation class ship, the USS Stargazer. But they're not the same ship. It's like saying the Horizon and Olympic are the Daedalus. Just because they all have round ball fronts instead of saucers.

It could. But they stopped doing that ages ago. Now they sell new skins either with new ships (like the Reagent skin on the Assault Cruiser Retrofit) or make them special unlocks with fleet ship purchases or something like that (like the Imperial Skin that unlocks with the Fleet Assault Cruiser).
They have the Constellation skin in there already as the glitch the OP refers to demonstrates.
Who knows what they plan to do with it.
Since that ship exists at Fleet Level AND has a mirror variant, whenever they get around to making the full constellation skin available, people should get a chance to fly a T5 version of it in some fashion through just being able to customize either the retro, the fleet retro or the mirror version.
Hopefully it'll be a free skin option someday.
I'd be good and bad if they did a "TOS Lock Box". It could open the possibility that they would create other retro models and skins for the package. But then you would have to pay WAY more to get a ship.

This is 2409, not 2333, not 2293, not 2265, and most certainly not 2151. Star Trek is about the future. Leave the past in the frakking past.

News Flash: If Cryptic thinks they can make money off it, either through using it directly or as leverage to move some other product related to it, they're gonna do so.
I mean, really, I don't remember "Swordfight Giant Cyborg Pseudo-Dinosaurs" as being part of the expected duties of a Starfleet Officer, but here we are anyway.
The Constellation isn't a TOS ship. So why would it be in a TOS lockbox?
It's not even a TMP/TWOK era ship. It's like after that era. Kind of coincides with the Ambassador.
Then why do you support a revamp of the Galaxy? That old bucket of bolts is not about the future. The Sovereign replaced it. And the Odyssey replaced them both. 2409 yo!
Wierd is part of the job man =P always expect the unexpected
Now part of me wish's that if they ever release this ship that it ends up like the Jem'Hadar Attack ship. In Star Trek Cannon it was the old worn out ship. However, in STO it would be the Cruiser DPS God of the Federation lineup.
Okay, that is never going to happen. Still, I like to hope they let the Constellation out. I have always had a thing for fed ship's that weren't the newest, most powerful, or flagship of the fleet. Plus, the STO Cruiser landscape could use some more Variety. Less big Cruiser's and more smaller ones at the Tier 5 level.
Federation Officer's can use Cardi, Jem'Hadar, Hirogen, and Breenships to mention a few. The reality/world of Star Trek was broken long ago. Either way, at this point tossing in the Constellation wouldn't hurt. You can get into an STF with four Scimitar Dreadnought's; which sucks by the way, so why not toss in a old Constellation as well.
Note: It might even given the Tier 5 Fleet Heavy Cruiser Retrofit/Heavy Cruiser Retrofit/Mirror Heavy Cruiser Retrofit some attention. They are great ships that get ignored by most people. They are the cheap, have a turn rate of 8, and while not most powerful our more than effective for endgame use.
The Galaxy and the Sovereign were in service concurrently. The latter is not a replacement for the former. Also, the Galaxy was designed for approximately a hundred year service period, a period that, given the Ent-D's launch in 2363 (and she was part of the first production run of six), it's not even halfway through yet.
Whereas the Constellation was a bucket of bolts twenty-odd years before the GCS was even built. (BTW, nice quote mine.)

It's not like Cryptic's designs have all been big successes. At least with a canon design, you know some people will like it; they all have their fans after all (even the really obscure and ugly ones, like the Yeager).
In terms of which ship bore the name Enterprise ...
It's old. It's a bucket of bolts. And the Odyssey has made it completely irrelevant. Why do you support old ships when you clearly want to play in a 2409 Starfleet with newer better ships? That's NOT the Galaxy. Starfleet obviously moved on from the Galaxy, making all those other, newer cruisers.
That's what I can't figure out. Your whole harangue against the Constellation applies just as much to the Galaxy. Why is it others who like a ship like the Constellation have to move on and get with 2409. But you, who also like an old ship, can get a pass from your own advice?
You should be all about rocking the Imperial, or the Nomad or the Odyssey. Not the Galaxy. Old old ship like the Galaxy needs to be doing supply runs between Earth and Alpha Centauri. If that.
And my word, I haven't even mentioned the Avenger yet.
That's what I have now, it was just the saucer. I'm just hoping they will make the rest of available someday.

Seriously?
So do also hate it when you see people driving up next to you in cars that are more than 20 years old or doesn't rate highly in Consumer Reports. Do you run up to them and tell them to go buy a new car... because you think that it devalues you car?
Who needs a Reality Check?

^Exactly my point to the one above.

What does that have to do with a Tier 5 Constellation? You don't expect a 1975 Chevy (Tier 1) to do as well as a 2013 Ferrari (Tier 5.5).
The comparison I'm making is more like the USS Constitution (the real one) versus the USS Ronald Reagan. Or a P-51 Mustang versus an F-35 Lightning II.

Along with a T5 Obie!
O that @#$%TRIBBLE%'n Berth y'all! Make it happen!
Just the saucer but it still indicates its coming.
Although... the MACO costumes exists for more then a year and are still not available.
Reality check: Its a game based on a TV show. None of it is reality.
This is something I really don't understand. It has been proven time & again in Star Trek that retrofitted ships happen. I've not seen anyone say that ships like the Constellation would be front line. I'm not saying they defiantly wouldn't be but of course there are better options for that job. But there are also support ships & I think these older birds, with a few tweaks here & there, could do that job valiantly.
Tell that to the Galaxy. It's practically useless in this game, and marginal at best in PvE. So much for STO adhering to the universe it belongs to.
You know better than to bring that up.

No, I said a T5 ConStie. Constie with an S. Constellation.
It's what I'm now dubbing these threads. T5 CONSTIE threads! And I totally support the addition of a T5 Constellation skin added to the Cheyenne/Dakota/Stargazer lineup!
T5 Constie!
(Not for nothing, but that there's a mixup over Constellaton and Constitution is kind of funny since it's called Constellation in TNG because they needed to edit it in over Geordi saying Constitution in post production! Or so the story goes with that episode! Haha!)
