What will be the next Enterprise?

Ok, so looking at the Ent J Starfleet are looking to develop Reeeeeaaaaally long range potentially intergalactic mobile space stations.
The new Jupiter class seems to fit this bill as it is a big cruiser capable of supporting escort pets but T4 science ships may fit as well.
the ent oddy will have to become toast soon as it's a T5 in a T6 shipyard and obsolete as a flagship.

What ship class would you like to see as the Enterprise 1701 - G?

    Whatever it will be, it probably won't be as awesome as it could have been now that we already know the details of a later variant (the J).

    Given most people's reaction to the Universe class, I think there's plenty of room to make it feel more and more like the J was a case of stepping off the cliffs of rising awesome and splatting on the rocks of ludicrous size envy :).

    It will probably be some Iteration on the Odyssey class of ships. I don't think they are going to come out with new flagships for a while So the current Enterprise is probably going to be 'the' Enterprise for the duration. Maybe if the game is around another 3 years or so that may change.

    I don't think we'll see a new Enterprise yet. Remember how long the previous Enterprises lasted? 2260s through to at least 2379, we've only been through 6. 6 in a little over 100 years. If we go by in game time, its only been about a year since Ent-F was launched under Captain Shon. The Ent-J is from the 26th Century, with no specific year identified. It could be as early as 2509, or it could be as late as 2579. We don't know.

    So the way I see it, lore wise Ent-F is still pretty much fresh out of the shipyards and has a long life ahead of her.

    Ingame we have Ent-F, an Odyssey-class. The Ent-J is a 26th cent ship. We're currently in the 25th cent ingame, 2410. Lots of bad things to ships named Enterprise for Starfleet to be at "J" by the 26th century.

    Pretty sure the Enterprise probably got a Tier 6 Retrofit when the Tier 6 Star Cruisers came out.

    Xindi-Aquatic T6 Heavy Dreadnought? Don't mind if I do!

    (I liked the seaQuest novels, but my goodness the TV show was dreadful. I tried to rewatch it on Netflix, turned it off after the third time I threw up in my mouth on how trite it was.)

    You should try watching the show, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

    Forget SeaQuest, it's almost quite literally Star Trek under water (only it predates TOS by a few years). At least after the first season or so, it's almost all aliens and weird stuff.

    Star Trek under water is exactly what is was supposed to be as Voyage was retooled when it came back in color on ABC at that time to complete with NBC's Star Trek and CBS's Lost in Space and not to mention the ill fated "City Beneath the Sea" another Irwin Allen project that was supposed to replace Star Trek....funny how things turn out!!

    Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea =- (Which - btw, was a movie with the Great Walter Pigeon, Peter Lorrie and also with Barbara Eden of Jeannie Fame.)

    The 1961 Movie of which the Voyage TV show was based on - had over tones of "Fail-Safe" and other "Cold War" implications (Given the Bay of Pigs, Cuban Crisis and such...)

    The first year B/W episodes of VBS was, and were, a serious attempt to by Irwin Allen to bring a [no nonsense] believable science, which had dealing with crisis, to the for front, much like the first few episodes of Irwin's "Lost in Space" until the producers gave in to, as to better "indulge" the general public at that time or, at least what the producers thought a "pre-programmed" non cerebral public wanted to watch and or, playing to the lowest common dominator a lot of series were ruined or, change significantly in tempo in doing so to placate the so, called and perceived masses!

    Another Series that comes to mind was the "Adventures of Superman" 1951 although I wouldn't say out and out ruined, but the first years and B/W Episodes of this show far out shine the later episodes in sheer quality, plot and acting ability which was solid film Noir sprinkled with mystery and adventure!

    Looking back, I always wonder if the producers would have stuck to their guns and produced serious shows based on the first episodes, how would those same shows be received with todays audiences.

    With hindsight being twenty / twenty we could have looked at these series, and more, a lot differently!

    Kirk out!

    T6 NCC-1701 C

    NOT A,B,D,E,F or BLOODY J but C.

    Ambassador model for T6 or at least unlocked to use on the Guardian if Cryptic are so inclined

    Arguably the T6 Odyssey upgrade is a separate classes from the T5s, so we are on to the Enterprise G already, its the T6 Odyssey.

    I do admit that the Jupiter having an enterprise to her name would be awesome.

    As for the 31st Century, I suspect the Enterprise or at least one of them, would be the Chronos Temporal Dreadnaught Cruiser.

    The Enterprise J is kind of like a cross between the Jupiter and the Odessey in function.

    I actually liked seaQuest as they tried to be MORE science than science fiction. But then in season 2 they started drifting away from the real world science, then jumped the shark with the season 2 finale where the ship was abducted and dropped in the middle of an alien ocean. And jumped the shark AGAIN with the 10 year timeskip which dropped the sub back on Earth, and the crew never having lived those 10 years... in a cornfield at the start of season 3.

    Enterprise-G ... You would think the Captain Shon could have kept the Enterprise-F together, especially since the Odyssey was not only upgraded from T5 to a T5U, but to T6 as well...and of course, the fleet variants. I do think it is a bit too early to add another Enterprise. After all, we are in 2410. And on that subject, I think the game years should have matched the years of the game's existence. Instead of it being 2410, we should be at 2416 or 2417, which would make, all the technological development, sense in the game. Also, it would give reason for Starfleet to look into a ship that could be named Enterprise-G. I will have to say if G comes into the game, Shon has to die or be gravely injured to the point he can no longer command. In addition, it would be time for uniform upgrades as well.

    Before we go down the G path, the time line needs to be adjusted so that we are at 2416 or 2417, and like F, the G should have some player feedback on its design as well as its captain.

    You should take a look at Captain Shon's track record for destroying his ships, his first ship the Belfast toast, he sacrificed the Aquirus from his Odessey Cruiser next in a suicide run, and then according to Jayce Interstellar Navy Magic the Enterprise took so much damage during the Iconian war that had to take was left of the ship and recycle it into providing the framework for a new ship, T6 Odessey this time.

    Captain Shon is really hard on ships.

    Captain Shon is really hard on ships.

    But consider the circumstances for each incident.
    • The Belfast was an old Defiant that took some hits from Dominion Polaron to cover the Player's escape from Facility 4028.
    • He was willing to sacrifice himself and the Aquarius to save the Klingon homeworld from the Undine Planet Killer.
    • Iconian War. Nuff said about that one.

    Its a wonder any other named ships weren't hit as bad. Only thing bad we know of that happened to the Liesset was she was boarded by Vaadwaur. Defiant probably got hammered at Sol, And as far as we know the Bortasqu apparently wasn't even hit at Sol despite being a brick of a battlecruiser. Voyager was probably as old as the Belfast, but was never reported damaged in any way.

    I'd be seriously tempted to ignore the J entirely, evolving towards a half-baked design is a fundamentally flawed concept. A two-dimensional saucer section doesn't do it for me.
