    The Altair would be a nice ship to have if they do go into the preliminary designs (which the devs actually did do with one of the Klingon ships come to think of it).

    Another one would be the flat four-engine "tennis racket" version of the Excelsior design (a model of which was built and was actually shown in the ship storage area in one of the TNG episodes, along with the original McQuarrie ship the Crossfield is very loosely based on).

    The Cestus frigates that are unlocked with the Universe class dreadnought are based on the Altair's design.

    So eh... get a 26th century promo ship pack ;)

    Technically it is from Voyager, (in fact it WAS the Voyager at one stage of the show development) but that design was dropped and the more conventional one seen in the show was used instead. The model as shown was never onscreen as a separate ship, but the shooting model was recycled as the secondary hull of the Universe class ship (though last minute changes made only the nacelles visible with the rest streamlined to the point of unrecognizability) so technically it did appear onscreen in a way.

    Later on it appeared in Ships of the Line with a new background written by Okuda as the prototype for the failed Altair class

    There would be no IP issues with it as such since it was an internally developed design for Voyager, though CBS may not feel like authorizing it either.

    it looks like a backwards death glider​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    This idea deserves a Nobel prize.

    I would love to fly a Xindi Mobulai ship.

    And the Cestus too.

    Where is it from? If it isn't from a ViacomCBS film or series (basically all past canon Trek) or an IDW Discovery comic it's not going to happen. I can't say I've ever heard of it.

    Yes the Mobulai is amazing!... and also the new Jem'Hadar Attack frigates!, i don't know why they dont do it, they already have the ships, a little uplift in details and textures, and we would have an entire set of new ships to buy!... hey, @ambassadorkael#6946 why not pass allong the idea??, there is a lot of us willing to buy those!

    That's what I was thinking. As far as I know no one said the Cardassian's didn't help design it.
