The Romulan Carrier

Now that the Federation and the Klingons have a true carrier, when is the Romulans going to get a true carrier? I would suggest calling it the Nest of Birds or Nharves s'dhæl (Nest of Birds in Romulan). Module the stats off of the Federation Jupiter but with the standard Romulan changes (less hull, more crew, higher turn rate, etc.). Of course it would be able to launch the Scorpian fighters or T'varo Light Warbirds. It should be a T6 starship and have the Jupiter's Universal Console (standard on all T6 Carriers). Of course the Klingon should also get a non-mirror universe T6 carrier version of the Vo'Quv.

I second that. Great idea.
wait wut??
looks like a raw chicken w/o drumsticks
Personally, I think the design should be the standard bird-design, but I think the wings instead of pointing downward, they should be swept upward and forward of the hull like the Baratan and Deihu Command Battlecruiser wings. Of course the ship should be massive in size, almost larger than the Scimitar. I think a 3 engineering, 4 science and 3 tactical console layout would be an excellent layout with the Fleet variant receiving an extra engineering console. It should have the same Bridge Officer layout that the Federation carrier has. I wouldn't give it a four forward weapon and two aft weapon layout, I would keep it a three /three weapon layout with four device slots and two hanger bay slots.
As I mentioned before, it should have the ability for carrying either Scorpion fighters or T'varo Light Warbirds.
I really like the Nharves s'Dhæl (Nest of Birds) - class Warbird Carrier name. I can just see twelve Scorpion fighters or four T'varo Light Warbirds coming at a target and your captain having the tier 5 skills from the Breen Carrier (T6), Jhu'ael Tactical Carrier (T6) and the WIng Commander trait to boost the abilities of the hanger pets. Of course teh Federation Jupiter-class Carrier's T5 trait would also be given.
This ship along with a new Klingon T6 Carrier and the Federation Jupiter could be sold in a three ship pack.
For model, I think a D'Deridex frame with hangars added to the usually empty space would be cool.
Right? Next maybe we can make a perfectly symmetrical Breen ship.
Anywyas, it should not be as big as the Scimitar, that thing is like a flying starbase with wings. I would say something around the same size as the Kara, and I still say we should/need to get to vote on designs.

I remember that thread, a good thread, good ideas, now if Cryptic will just do something other than make another 7 (2 of them science ships, because they don't have any, right?) ships for the Feds before doing one of them.

The Klingon CV would be the Vo'Qov T6. The Klingons of this dimension liked the Vo'Qov, so they designed their own version of the design. Same universal console that the Federation Jupiter carrier has.
We can get t6 cross faction carriers. There isnt an acceptable cross faction t6 sci yet.
I would definitely prefer getting a Science ship over anything else, a true, full science ship.
I also feel at this point in the game they should drop the fleet module cost on non c-store ships from older tiers to 1 instead of 4. I am not ever going to buy 4 fleet modules to get a fleet ha'nom, but if it cost 1, I would do it, at least then I there would be something to use that is able to be upgraded to T5-U at a reasonable cost, and an actual science ship that may actually be almost useful in end game content.

Or this idea, which is someones concept of the D'deridex with bays inside the void space between the wings. http://dhost.info/phoenix/scrnsht/katar01.jpg
Neither of those links work.

Personally, I say just repurpose the D'deridex and fill in the central section with a vertical "wall" that houses all of the fighter/shuttlecraft facilities. Just make it narrow, tall and run the length of the ship. Fighters approach the landing bays from astern by matching course heading with the carrier ship, and the launch bays are behind the "head" of the ship and launch the fighters at a 30 degree oblique angle forward so as to clear the bow. The whole assembly is a "drop in module" intended to be fitted into the hollow center space of the D'deridex ... which then implies that the D'deridex class could mount other types of modules into that vast empty space so as to reconfigure the ship for a variety of different roles.
Need a troop transport? Put the barracks modules into the empty space in the D'deridex.
Need to evacuate a colony, or transport an unfairly large quantity of supplies somewhere? Insert the cargo modules into the empty space in the D'deridex.
Need a carrier? Put the fighter support modules into the empty space in the D'deridex.
For my own personal headcanon, I prefer to think of the D'deridex as seen in TNG and STO as being "unfinished" in the sense that it doesn't have a mission module loaded in the empty space in the center of the ship.

Carrier commands seem to work just fine for me on the Scimitar and Ar'kif when cloaked, only thing I can't do is fresh launches.
