I know that some players hate the generic Starfleet Battleship that is often seen when using hologram space skills, and often seen in some of the game's storyline missions.
I would love to see this ship in a Lock Box one day, no, not as the main vessel of attraction, but as a Mirror universe counterpart. It is a nice compliment to an already diverse line up of Federation vessels.
What say you?

Is it a Federation lockbox? Do KDF players get the Fed Lockbox too?
The Typhoon was initially meant to be an NPC ship. As such, when examined closely, its visuals simply don't compare to a player ship. It's missing details, the textures are of a lower quality, things like that.
I'm sure touching it up is well within the skill set of the current ship artists, but the thing is: they don't seem to be in any hurry to do so. In fact, some have even expressed disdain at the ship design in the past (the same opinion has been given to the other Federation NPC ship, the Jupiter class dreadnought).
Honestly, I don't see either ship being playable any time soon. It just doesn't seem to be a high priority for anyone on the dev team.
It's an actual part of the Federation's ship lineup so it belongs to C-Store i'd say...
No lockbox ..........at least it will have decent stats in a lock box
Add a Kavort and a Dederix as choices for the klinks and rommies
If its for all 3 factions and in a lock box the feds wont get rolled over again like the GalX reboot sham
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
Well, the lockbox have been created to give players a way to command their favourite "Alien" ships. I don't see the point of putting main-faction ships in there.
Besides, fleet-level faction ships don't fall behind the LB / Lobi ships stats-wise anymore (at least the more recent ones, say Avenger, Scimitar)
Your Ramming Speed III deals 242658 (243540) Kinetic Damage (Critical) to you.
Heck even if they did a cross faction lockbox that let Klingons get ahold of fleet excelsior refits or let the federation use fleet b'rel retrofits or let kdf/fed use a fleet d'deridex retro would be infinitely more preferable IMO than another lockbox like the Undine one we just got.

Throw in some William Ware Theiss goodness and you have a deal.
I will be preforming executions of random Deferi tomorrow... you'll be there... right? :mad:
Mirror universe ships are in most/all lockboxes.
If Cryptic adds a Typhoon ship, then it should be as some C-Store ship. Only after a few months with the Typhoon being on the C-Store, then Cryptic could add a Mirror Universe version.
To the idea of a Typhoon in general, let alone in a lockbox. It's ugly as sin, and why it hasn't been retroactively replaced in the game by one of the much better looking exisiting ships is beyond me.
Corrected that for you xD
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.
Warship Voyager DOES NOT exist. Not in a mirror universe, nor in prime universe. It's a theory of a civilization 800 years later Voyager came in that system; until a memory backup containing The Doctor program sorted things out. End of the story.
Starfleet never ever heard of it. PERIOD. :mad:
You got to admit, it was pretty good. XD

Why? Because variety is the SPICE of life. Truth is, if its in a Lock Box as a Mirror universe option, it will not play havoc with the normal Epic Pew Pew Pew ships offered in the Lock Box.
It is optional, not in your face sorta-speak, and if players want to pick up one on the exchange, they may choose so. All Devs have to do is smooth out the textures and give it some details. The work is not that hard and may take up to an hour or so to do so.
People do want the Typhoon class and Jupiter class. I tell you one thing, the Typhoon class is alot prettier than that ugly as sin Avenger Class, now that's an ugly @ss ship if you ask me.
I am willing to pay for the Typhoon class, an extra ship is awesome. Heck they can make a brief one episode mission that can reward you a Captain rank one, with a Fleet variant offered at a Fleet Starbase. I am all game.

When they released the Avenger, I don't understand why they didn't just roll that out as the Typhoon replacement, and add on a second skin that resembles something more Typhoon-like. It fulfills the same 'space' in the Federation lineup, IMO.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.
