U.S.S. Cerritos and the Lower Decks Promotion ship suggestion

Sorry for a bad naming for the thread but a suggestion for season 2 of Lower Decks will come and content will flow soon. I was thinking Why the California class should not be a Lockbox ship, in fact the ship that SHOULD be in the lockbox is.. The Osler class, a clear Intel stealth ship that strikes fear at its core, the design is very 'Klingon' like for a federation ship, coming with a prefix NX means their is NOT a lot of this ship. They could call it Division 14 Intel Destroyer. This ship is for the PvP made design to the core, would suggest 5/3 layout since it seems very much a strong presence
Now to why the California class should be a ZEN ship, their has been 3 versions of the California class shown, it is a very common ship in the 2380's and it has been shown in a very dysfunctional disarray. The ship has not been shown to be strong but the crew has made up for it, a suggested Trait for T6 would be The Boimler Effect, when at a certain critical point the ship rapidly recharges all bridge officer abilities to eventually slow down (1.5x) after that critical point has passed. I have played with many friends and TFO's and most players want a scarier ship and the Cerritos is a fluffy marshmallow of comedy, in an example those who do fly some T6 like the T'pau do so for the mastery
so if the suggestion is reversed, the Osler becomes a ZEN ship, who would grind out for a fleet version and who would open keys for the Cerritos,
which would you prefer?

And PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy and even by Saint Roddenberry himself, rearrange the inside of ESD to showcase the new Luna when it comes out! I'm kinda tired of seeing the Hestia.
The California class will either be a good option for a 3 pack or actually have a unique pattern option that will allow us to replicate her markings but use any color we want. I can honestly see her fill a scout ship role in game. And she would probably be C-Store as you can't really cross faction her. In theory she COULD be a lockbox, but they'd have to pair her with an equivelent KDF ship, probably the fake Klingon cruiser that was in the holodeck simulation.
And before anyone brings it up, I don't count the Mirror Connie since she was released the same way as the Mirror Engle, direct to Infinity Box rather than have a dedicated lockbox like the ones we had in the past, IE Wells and Kelvin Connie.
The T6 Luna should be C-store, since it was one of the original free max level ship options back before T6 was a thing. I assume that since it's been in STLD, the rights for using it are a lot easier to secure now (if that was a contributing factor to the lack of a T6 version so far).
The Parliament class should also be C-store. Making that beauty a lockbox or R&D promo ship would be a waste.
The Osler-type can be whatever. As long as there's an option to give it a brighter paint job and turn on more lights inside.
To put the California class as an event would be a massive waist in it has fans of the show, more than Discovery AND Picard did on DAY 1, they have many Discovery and a few Picard ships, this should be a ZEN ship because it is so easy to obtain
In Lower Decks their has been a total of 5 onscreen duplicates of this model with different names. To put it as a RARE event would make a common ship even more exotic to come by. While Cryptic might TRY to put it as a hero ship and limit the numbers made by R&D and Lockbox, I believe having massive fans will NOT be enough to actually warrant demand for the ship, it is weak, dyfunctional, very bleak looking, a joke as much as the crews are (even the crews of other California classes are shown to be dysfunctional) this is clearly the equivalent for a Ford Focus of Star Trek- a reliable cheap mass produced automobile to fill out the holes in domestic car sales
IF we can have t6 daedalus, tvaro, tliss and so on...we can have t6 Californias as well.
Get the Forums Enhancement Extension!
Also freightets could have had an extra device slot naturally
Tacofangs used to do that, i don't think is a thing anymore... @tacofangs , i hope you are there, please????
A T6 version should be able to switch modes, Engineering/Science/Tactical (similar to the Dyson Science Destroyers). Among the stations, there could be three Ensign Stations that are enhanced depending on which mode the ship is set to (i.e. Ship is set to Tactical mode, which boosts the effectiveness of the Tactical Ensign Station). The enhancement is from the quick thinking/sheer luck/chutzpah of the Lower Deck officer at the station.
McMann said the engine pods gonna have some neat gimmick.
there, fixt it for ya
