Next time, maybe make the picture upsidedown?
Or just refrain from trying to look smart by posting what is essentially the same thread over again? You come across as smug instead. It is not becoming.

We didn't think some people were so stupid that we needed to explain to them that we meant the TOS Connie.
I just don't get this logic. it looks a bit different from the TOS Constitution as does the TMP why is it not a Constitution if the TMP is?
By the way. I hated everything i heard about the new movies when the first one came out too. The Enterprise looked too futuristic and I thought the movie was going to ruin everything that was already established. but I bought the dvd and watched it anyways. once I learned it was an alternate timeline I got over my hate of it and accepted it.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
So what you're saying is, of the wide variety of connies out there, including TOS Connies, TWOK era Movie Connies and Bad Robot Film Connies, the end-game Connie that is now in this game that people said would never have an end-game Connie is one of the types of Connies that has been an official part of the Star Trek franchise - the Kelvin Timeline Connie?
Is that about the size of it?
It's the *Abrams* Class Heavy Multi-Mission Cruiser. Call it what it is.
I just wish the Nacelles weren't so ugly. If they had gone with the one used on the Kelvin, I'd like the ship.
You tell me when these 2 are at endgame levels.
Ok. According to the game's official release statement it's called:
It's not an Abrams class anything.
Nope. It's a "Starship Class" just like the Prime Enterprise was until Picard called it a Constitution 20 years later from our point of view (of course the production staff and technical manuals all called in a Constitution, and there'd even been some signs put up on the set that would ultimately be illegible on screen but nothing we'd be able to spot).
Those are just two of the many different kinds of Constitution class ships in STO. What about the Vesper? The Excalibur? The Exeter?

Including Cryptic peeps?
No, you're confusing that event with the playable Borg Cube.
can't the same thing be said about the TOS and the TMP Constitution? Also the Abrams Enterprise has two nacelles, a saucer and secondary hull. how is that "virtually nothing in common"?
yes, but they're not because those in charge of Star Trek decided their names. They decide, not us. So the "JJPrize is a Constitution whether people like it or not, because they said it's a Constitution. it's just a more stylized version of the TOS anyways
With as many arbitrary lines as I've seen drawn by the usual suspects over which type of lockbox ship spells the definitive end times of STO, I kind of wish they'd release a playable Borg ship just to shut them up.
But who am I kidding, they'll just push the goal posts again.
Aside from the slightly chubby nacelles (which I don't mind), and the neck that stretches all the way to the shuttle bay (which drives me insane), I personally think it looks a lot like a proper modern redesign of the TOS version.
Aaaaaaaaaaand... yeah, I personally hate Voyager, Enterprise and all the TNG-movies. I do hate the weak, stupid scriptwriting and the huge (out-of-)character-problems they had. According to the reactions on the JJ-Constitution, I must be supposed to hate the Intrepid-class and Sovereign-class as well as Mogai and Scimitar now because I hated the Shows and movies they were featured in? Could it get any more Kindergarten than this?
They were part of the game's original Tier 2 Cruiser package but you knew that already.
So again, you tell me when we have the TOS Constitution-class and TOS movie era Constitution-refit at endgame.
So let's count up how many Connies there are!
There's the T1 TOS Connie.
There's the T2 TMP Connie.
There's the T2 Vesper
There's the T2 Excalibur
There's the T2.5 Exeter
And NOW, there's the T6 Kelvin Timeline Connie.
That's a lotta Connies!
If we're lucky they'll get around to getting the other 5 in as playable at T6. The door is open now! If you'd set aside your blind internet level hatred of things you don't like, you'd see how much of an opportunity there is now. You'd see thread after thread allowed to discuss the topic freely. You'd see an actual T6 connie in existence (and one that took communication between Cryptic, CBS and Paramount to happen). You'd see a new show coming out. You'd see timeline jumping all over the place. You'd see the game poised to embrace it's 50th anniversary. You'd see all of this and you'd wonder at how close you are to your dream.
Or ...
You could continue to forum rage and hate on the new lockbox.
It's your choice really. Have fun whichever path you take.
As I said in another thread, I'm predicting for the 50th a Connie 3-pack that, in addition to three new variants, can use the Vesper, Exeter, and Excalibur skins, and if you buy all three you can use the TOS and TMP skins too. Maximum profit from what would absolutely be the best selling C-Store ship of all time.
unfortunately, somehow, James T. Kirk survived the Kelvin attack. and technically the JJprize is Kirks ship....technically.
But to answer everyone, no, to be brutally honest, the JJprize is not the Constitution class we were all talking about, we wanted the genuine thing, we got a dang knockoff. one which defies all possibility of it being modern....I mean seriously 200 years of weapons research in 25 years? highly implausible, very much ludicrous.
They've torn apart that future Romulan ship. Not much more to it. Besides history is dramatically different because of variations in time changes, and other factors.
