This'll be my third attempt at creating this topic; apparently there's some trouble with older accounts and the editing of topics, so I'll need to get this right if I want it to stick.
Anyhow, some of you already have your Walker and/or Crossfield Class starships, though we know that there are a few more ships of the Discovery era out there, and I'd like to know which of those designs you'd like to see next, and how you'd set said design up (ship type, boff/console setup etc).

Preferably these lot would be released by the way of the C-Store, rather than a Lock Box or Lobi Purchase, but I guess we'll see about that. Imperialists shouldn't fear either - there's a few ships of Klingon design for Cryptic to release yet, though all you Republicans are ... well, you're out of luck for obvious reasons - unless the art team get creative.

Cerdenas, Nimitz and Shepard are the 3 I like most but I kinda like all of em
I kinda like the mage, but its so not a fed design
Cardenas seems like a blocky prometheus, not bad, but not all that great in my view.
Too late, move on
anyway my vote is for this version of the Constitution class
Sadly, the Discovery seems to be the ugliest ship in TRIBBLE!
It's pretty much this hard to keep just one timeline intact. ♪
Yeah, I ain't ever gonna spend 1+B for the TOS one so slap this sucker in the C-store! It's a different ship so the owners of the TOS Connie shouldn't be able to whine about it!
Normally I'd agree, but we've already got modern antiques, so that ship has sailed.
If only I'd waited and posted this a few days later.
Except that it isn't; it's still the prime universe TOS connie, it just looks more modern.
It's a nice update on the Connie, I don't intend to sound mean but maybe the 1960s designs are not up to scratch anymore. The Connie's bridge will be important, I could see a TOS set up but with Discovery tech.

Discovery is a modern show, and everything involved with it needs to be modern too. The people that can't quite accept that need to get a grip and move along with the times. Respectfully.
I'm getting a phase II vibe about the Discovery Connie, it's very nice
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
Everything else is GIVE ME NOW

Hope itll be in the zen store, I just know it wont tho
edit:
and I am SO glad it didnt look like the Defiant wireframe a few episodes prior
As for the Discovery Connie... VERY well done. She maintains many of the elements we're familiar with, while modernizing her to match up with all the new ships introduced in Discovery. I see elements of the classic, with a hint or two of refit, specifically in the pylons. They kinda look swept back like the Refit, but not as dramatically. And the Warp Field Grills glowing blue like that... AWESOME.
The gunmetal grey hull is probably a callback to Enterprise, which is a nice touch as well.
But still... anyone who looks at that beauty will see a Connie. No doubt about it. As for scale... length wise Discovery is longer, but mass wise they look comparable.
It is a beautiful thing.

I agree with everything else you've said too. I was sceptical of the TRIBBLE Constitution, but I couldn't ask for a better suited ship, one that does a seemingly perfect job of merging ENT, TRIBBLE & TOS into a nice, modern blend.
Fine lass that ship. Worthy of the name Enterprise.

Okay, I need to step in here and explain something. All the aesthetics, the ship designs, the technology, even the uniforms, none of them are bad on their own. I'd even call them great. They are not the problem at all. The problem comes from where, or rather when they are set.
The Star Trek TV series has a very well defined timeline, with some wiggle room in certain areas. If this all took place post-Voyager / post-Nemesis, no one would care though they would ask questions as to how we got here from there. But it was decided that Discovery was to be a story set 10 years before the Original Series. That makes Discovery a "period piece" so to speak within the timeline of Star Trek. There are rules for period pieces that should not be violated. Rules that govern what things should look and act like in order to be true to the time in question and lend credibility to what is being created. So to those that realize this and care about it, Discovery being "a modern show, and everything involved with it needs to be modern too" is bull and tantamount to historical revisionism. And to ask them to "get a grip and move along with the times" well there's nothing respectful about that.
"Relics", "Trials and Tribble-ations", and "In a Mirror, Darkly" all stayed true to what came before. And "In a Mirror, Darkly" did so especially well. Were they to through in a TOS style Constitution even truer to TOS it probably would or should have looked like this: https://trekmovie.com/2018/02/09/prep-for-star-trek-discovery-finale-with-fan-made-enterprise-burnham-burrito-and-more/
I don't think that looks out of place, do you?
Where Discovery leaves off is about 3 years after "The Cage." Given that and the fact that the Federation has been at war for about 9 months, I can safely call this version of the Enterprise a "War-time Refit". So, I don't have a problem with how it's shown in the finale, but it is important that enough time and reason be allotted for it to be refit into a "Post-war" variant, otherwise known as what is seen in TOS.
FYI, I'm 28. This is not a generational thing. This is a consistency thing. And that's all I have to say on the matter.
As for the ships for STO, I like the DIS Connie, the Nimitz, the Cardenas, the Malachowski, and the Shepard.
They really aren't, they're fugly ships that are called Federation because the show doesn't give a damn about canon.
It's because they are...they're throwing away canon just to make Star Trek into a generic sci fi Star Wars wanna be.
I thought CBS stopped trying to pass off their fan insulting "it's Prime universe" BS about TRIBBLE.
Hmm, saucers and nacelles. Check. More canon than the Defiant.
Well you sound easily confused. I suppose you must get distracted by bright lights easily and are unable to then pay attention for 15 episodes.
I thought fans stopped b|tching and moaning about a continuity that barely existed and a can that retcons everyt.... Hahahaha, just pulling you leg, I never thought whining fanbois would change.
And it's DSC or DIS, not TRIBBLE. Though those acronyms are no doubt not really edgy enough for you.
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.
