T6 Assault Cruiser design concept

So I have been desperately wanting an assault cruiser t6 for so long, so I thought. Why not make my own design concept for it!

This is it:

*NOTE* Top view doesn't have windows due to the amount of required for me time to them in.

The Royal Class, T6 Advanced Assault Cruiser would be perfect for the game. A new beautiful and majestic starship to escort the Federation into a New Dawn from its era of war and tragedy. A new ship to mark the end of the Iconian War...

She would come equipped with Prototype Energy Shielding, an advanced (exclusive) type of shielding that'll transfer %20 of all energy damage done to shields to be put back in the shields, allowing it to last much longer against it's foes. BUT, the prototype energy shields will give you a %33 chance of a %15 power debuff every 30 secs, due the amount of resources that would be required to have such shields. (The shields wouldn't be a console, instead it will be counted as an actually shield array, giving a disadvantage to players who also want to use shields from spac esets for bonuses.) The ship would be able to saucer separate if the player used the saucer separation console.

What do you think about my design? Please share in the comments.

    *UPDATE* Added top view (windows were not included due to the amount of time they would require)

    Interesting, a cross between the Assault Cruisers and Command Cruisers. My only criticism is that the hull might look better longer or have the saucer set more forward on it.​​

    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.

    Very good, but I think saucer section could be a bit longer and set more foward as Artan42 already said. Besides that, it seems like saucer section has too many ''stairs'' (5 sections, or 4 if we are not counting bridge). 3 ''stairs'' (excluding the bridge) should be more than enough. More ''stairs'' would be more suitable if saucer was way longer. All in all it is a good start and hope you'll improve it even more.

    Thank you, I have started making modifications, I plan on removing a stair like you request, I'm moving up the saucer a bit, and I have started work on a new deflector and nacelle design.

    Nice; but a little longer saucer is in order to make it perfect...
  • gabeoz1gabeoz1 Member Posts: 161 Arc User
    *UPDATE* New nacelles, pylons, removed 1 stair on saucer, added new saucer details.

    CHanged up the saucer and nacelles a bit.
  • jasecurtisjasecurtis Member Posts: 67 Arc User
    I'd lengthen the hull a little to make it less front heavy. Also, have the nacelle pylons swept back.

    Now that latest change is great! Just beautiful B) Reminds me a bit of my own designs from another topic which is nice.

    Nice, though now the hull could do with being a bit longer to balance out the long saucer and nacelles.​​

    Have you thought of sinking the bridge section into the top of the saucer Nova style

      1) Cryptic isn't going to take Fan-Made Designs due to legal reasons

      2) There was a very similar design by one of the Runner-up winners in the Design the Next Enterprise contest that was almost exactly like this design.
      Feel free to Google Perception-class.

      Don't we had fan made designs in game already?

      Cryptic has put fan made/fan inspired ships into the game. The command battlecruisers were based off of fuzzymodem's "The Next Enterprise Contest" entry. THe Odyssey (Of course) and I believe the Chimera heavy destroyer was fan made too. So what about them not making fan made ships? After all, everything we post on these forums are property of Cryptic/PWE/CBS.

      ANd I am aware of the Perception Class already, it inspired some of my recent modifications to my design.

      Cryptic decided to stop making fan-made ships based on designs submitted post-DNE contest because DNE turned into a giant flame war. Plagiarism accusations all over the place (not all of them unfounded), accusations of racism against non-Americans because the contest was US-only (one of the fan-favorite designs was Canadian), and then CBS made everything worse by vetoing the fan-picked winner in favor of a design that didn't even make the top 20 (yes, the Odyssey wasn't even a runner-up in the contest).

      Stuff submitted for official contests before that is Cryptic's property. They already have it so they're using it. But they're not accepting new suggestions.

      No, they decided there wouldn't be any further design contests because of the DTNE fiasco.

      The reason they won't accept fan-made designs is because of all the legal hassle and the expenses involved to get rights to a design. They made that effort clear with the Vesta.

      You need to understand the reasons fan-made designs made it into Star Trek Online is because of they were legal entries into the Design the Next Enterprise Contest, where they signed an agreement with CBS that surrendered their rights to the design. That's why you see these fan-made designs in the game.

      But if Cryptic wanted a fan-made design now, they have to hire a lawyer, pay expenses, and legally purchase the rights to the design. Which literally means Tens of Thousands of Dollars. Even if you gave it to them for free, they cannot accept it due to legal reasons.

      I know, because I was one of the Winners of the Design the Next Enterprise contest, and my design became the Regent. Which the sloped back design went into the Venture and the Avenger.

      Ohhh congratulations on that I actually quite like the design of the Regent,haven't bought it yet but like the design.

      Throw some armour on it and a rail gun that shoots 46 torpedos at once and I'd say you got a dog in this race. Assault cruisers are made for war, so deck it out with wartime cosmetics. Build some armour around the nacelles and fold it into the pylons for protection. Then put a shield over the top where the bridge is but leave a opening where the captain and bridge officers can look out. While your at it, double the size of the saucer section and add a 3rd nacelle. Don't forget to armour up your deflector dish also, don't want it to be a easy target. Spray paint the TRIBBLE black and draw a big heart on the side of the secondary hull and write mother in it. Now you have a ship, when the iconians see this beast coming at them they will TRIBBLE themselves. Pull out your rail gun and lay a shotgun blast of torpedeos into them that will cut through 5 ships at once. When the war is over the name iconian will be erased from the history books thanks to the assault cruiser you had the pleasure of building. Iconians?? Never heard of em.

      Plus 1, I actually prefer it to the Sovereign, nice work. (although the deflector could do with being bigger on the final ship, it is too small in proportion IMO)

      OP - I like that too. :) I mean, you can't use it in STO as explained above, but a 3D modelling suite and whatever else it takes and you could mod it into some other game.
