at least 50,000 troops on it.

50000 crew, yes.

Because who cares about repair rates anyway.

Indeed, the heals would be real, and you'd lose the ship long before making a dent in the crew

Not with STO's wonder system of crew damage.

After 30 seconds of combat, the ship would have the same amount of crew as every other ship - 0. :P

rattler2 · February 2015

Especially if you fight Naussicans and their Theta Radiation. 50k to 0 in 2 seconds.

baelogventure · February 2015

Too bad crew damage, restore, and passive hull repair are based on a percentage system.

It's why ships like the Defiant and her 50 crew are usually better off then ships like the Vo'Quv and her 4,000 crew.

its a command carrier..

system control...

peacekeepers..?

cheesebasket · February 2015

It needs to have no less than 4 hangers for carrier pets

And since it's a command carrier anything like tactical team and attack patterns should buff all the pets

And it should also come equipped with a Death Star mega laser...the damage of which doubles for every other command cruiser the player owns... Because marketing

EDIT: it posted twice instead of editing...

Comes equipped with shields that can tank a Plasma Bolt from a Unimatrix ship, and can mount Frag Cannons.

The crew mechanic needs to be not broken to talk about hugh carrier with large crew compliment. Fighters need to be fixed before more T6 carriers can come into the game.

out standing all..

bring on the command carriers..!

theraven2378 · February 2015

Yorktown Class Command Carrier

3 fore weapons,3 aft
Hull HP- 55000 base at lvl 50, 65000 base at levl 60
Shield HP- 9-12,000 base
Crew- 1500
2 hanger bays
Turn rate 4
Shield modifier 0.5

Lt cmd tac
Commander Engineering,Lt cmd engineering/command
Lt science,Ensign science

4 engineering console slots
3 science console slots
4 tac console slots

If anyone can improve on that, that will be welcome

lilchibiclari · February 2015

0.5 shields? No non-shuttle in STO has a shield modifier below 0.8, and nothing with a hanger bay has below 0.95.

Also, a turn rate of 4? That would make it the slowest player ship in the game. Even the slow behemoth carriers we already have get at least 5.

The other numbers you have look reasonable though.

I'd change shield mod to 1.0 and with a turn rate of 4, there would have to be a trade like a ship passive ability that buffs turret rate of fire by a big number, so maneuvers would be less important.

Also, T6 carriers should have command auras that buff fighters/frigs. in various areas like damage, res, speed HP regeneration.

My inspiration for the design concept is that of the re-imagined Galactica so turn rate is not much of an issue, having weapon hard points or even better animated rotating turrets on the top of the ship with hard points built into the side of the design as a broadsiding option.

Buffing the shield modifier and and having a 5km range command aura, good idea makbure

Thanks. Regarding the range I was honestly thinking 10km range since the fighters are in the state that they're in (with new content) combined with cryptic being so stingy with frigates. It wouldn't be OP with that kind of range. But at least you see what I'm getting at, so that's cool.

It be perfect with the t5 trait from the Sarr Theln

The Army HEC respectfully disagrees.

That said, an 0.8 shield mod on an Eng-heavy pure carrier is just plain silly.

I was thinking about something like this:

Leviathan Class Command Carrier

Lenght: 6500 m
Width: 2200 m
Height: 700 m
5 fore weapons and 5 aft weapons slots
Hull HP - 60000 base at lvl 50, 70000 base at lvl 60
Shield HP - 10-13,000 base
Crew - 2000
3 hangar bays
Turn rate 5
Shield modifier 1.0

Lt cmd tac
Commander Engineering
Lt cmd universal/command
Lt science
Ensign universal

5 engineering console slots
4 science console slots
4 tac console slots

The Devs would put that thing up for 4k + zen but if they made it science oriented slapped a 4th hanger and had it be both Intel and command with 2 commander boff slots and still had 4 for and aft. And gave it some freeken amazen model I'd pay what ever price they put on it. Maybe a iciodian carrier?

Do not mention the unholy words. Ishmonian ships should never exist.

Yeah, it would probably be expensive, but I wouldn't mind

What puzzles me is that the Devs don't want to make ships with more than 8 weapon slot. It would be logical for a higher tier to gain extra slot, or it should be at least an option for upgrade. Your starting ship has 2 or 3 slot, and with each rank you get ships with more slots, so I don't understand why 8 slots should be max. limit. 10, and even 12 slots should be possible in the future.
And that 4th hanger would be nice idea too

And I forgot to mention that there would be 3 versions of those command carriers I described (tactical version, engineering version and science version of course)
A design should be Federation standard, closer to canon ships, but enormously big and impressive as her name says - Leviathan

And I just got an idea for one of her consoles:

Retractable pulse phaser defense turrets - universal console: When Leviathan engages in battle, multiple pulse phaser defense turrets are being deployed along her hull therefor providing her with defense against enemy fighters and incoming torpedoes.

Command Carriers..
