U.S.S. Vengeance (Into Darkness) in STO

I subscribe to Star Trek. The official starships collection magazine and this morning I received the latest issues and models. Among them was the U.S.S. Vengeance.
After spending a little time admiring the model I started thinking that it would probably work rather well as an intel ship considering that it was built by section 31 for covert ops.
It wouldn't be the first time an alternate timeline ship was added to the game and we have far older ships than this one serving as T5 ships so wouldn't it be awesome to have this thing as a T6 intel ship.

If that is your defense I will ask the question, what canon evidence can you show me that the Gal-X didn't exist in the 25th century in the Prime TNG timeline?
I don't mean to be harsh but I grow tired of all the people who act like the Gal-X is some un-starfleet like alien ship that couldn't possibly be within the realm of possibility of existing in the 25th century.
Every mirror universe ship? They are all from an alternate timeline/universe.
We already have the Narada in spirit, with the Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer and Cruiser (mainly the Cruiser), the Kinetic Cutting Beam, and elements of New Romulus line pull from JJTrek, such as Spock and Nero's disappearance. Additionally, older movie elements have been incorporated in the past, despite different holders.
While CBS may say no to an exact copy, given that they allowed elements to be used in some modified form or fashion with the aforementioned examples, they probably won't say no either to a Vengeance-derived ship or skin, as long as it's not 100% exact. Given this, the Vengeance as a skin for the Odyssey is more likely on the basis that the configuration will not look as accurate as it would if it was a skin for a playable Typhoon (which also shares a rather compact design similarity to the Avenger).
The JJTrek Uniforms however, is an entirely different story. I very much doubt CBS will allow those to cross over; unless the 3rd movie rakes in enough to consider negotiating some asset use or some deal is signed to allow limited access to the stuff as a promotional.
Following it would actually be more inconvenient; besides the obvious blatant 1:1 copying and issues with that, players would have access to a massive starship (which is around 1450m; 50m longer than the Odyssey) at Tier 2 or Tier 3 (as awesome as that'd be compared to the bland Constitution or Excelsior design), depending on which Constitution variant you use (T1 classic or T2 Excalibur/Constitution variant).
It is heavily implied that the Galaxy Refit of AGT is a one-off, Will Rikers personal project to keep the Ent-D from being decomissioned. Since we don't see much of the outgoing 24th century portrayed in AGT we have no proof in favour or against anything, though the implication is that the "X" is not a refit for ships on the line but exclusive to the one and only Ent-D.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that to come through the door yesterday, and it is nice!
I also like the runabout model, they done a pretty good job with that!
ooh yeah i love the runabout as well. glad they gave us the one with the torpedo pod
The Vulcan D'Kyr, too.
B'Rel may actually be younger than the Constitution, since it only appeared in the movies, but it could be a candidate.
Not sure what Raptor or Battlecruiser Fleet Retrofits exist that could also hail from the Enterprise or Constitution era.
Also all the Xindi ships are enterprise era and T5 as far as I know
Not the same ships. They are modern ships based of the old Kumari design..
The Vengeance is kind of in game. The silhouette was used in the Avenger's design.
this ship almost looks like the vengence

Galaxy Dreadnaught in TNG episode "All Good Things"
I have one of those. it looks cool but i dont enjoy flying it very much
It's a long shot to be sure, but at the end I think it all depends on how profitable would Cryptic/PWE deem the move for obtaining a liscence for this and wheather the amount that needs to be payed for it would be worthwile compared to the profit they expect to make from it.
The ship is out of date. Too old and weak to be a T6 ship. They won't let us have a Connie at that level. So no weak Vengeance too.
IF they decided to bring it into the game. It will make a nice T2 ship. Along with the Connie and Miranda.

:P It is an Evul ship designed by a white guy playing someone of Far Eastern descent. Who is based(loosely) on a Hispanic guy playing someone of Far Eastern descent. Feddy Bears are supposed to be Da Good Guys. So no Evul ship for Feddy Bears allowed! :P
Kidding aside, if you're after the looks of the Vengeance, then the Avenger class with the Avenger skin is probably as close as pwe/cryptic can get without copyright infringement.
I was being funny about it. As this is the usual reply for the ones asking for the Connie at T5. Plus this has been also been asked for a long time now. Which is why all T5 Connie threads are banned. :P
I was one of the guys wanting a Connie at T5/T6. My KDF flies in a K'Tinga I got from the Fleet store.

Oh...so ships from another Universe that travel to our own are the same as ships from a century ago that have never been seen in our Universe are the same thing right? :rolleyes:
Besides, the Mirror Universe isn't a alternate timeline, it's a alternate universe...it didn't splinter from the Prime universe.
actually it is an alternate timeline. Depending on what source you believe is more cannon Enterprise or the preserver novels. The mirror universe is an alternate timeline where the point of divergence is first contact. In the case of enterprise the humans attacked the vulcans during first contact. In the case of the preserver novels first contact did not happen because in the prime universe the preservers influence led a vulcan ship to pass near earth. In the mirror universe this did not happen. At least I think thats how it went. I havent read those novels in a rather long time.
that one is the ugliest ship in all star trek. second is that new intel science.
