Lower Decks Ships

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I’d like to see the Lower Decks ships come to STO. We have the four main characters as Duty Officers and Riker’s U.S.S. Titan, so why not a T5U California Class and the T6 Parliament Class ship bundle or something like that for the Zen Store, just for something new, different and interesting? 🖖

The Parliment class might make it in sooner, and technically we already got a ship from Lower Decks if you count the revamp to the Luna, as well as the release of the Titan which has access to Luna parts.
And only a little less than 2 months, before Lower Decks starts Season 2.
It was just an idea being floated, I’d love them both to be T6 ships 🙂
On a technical level it would be impossible to make the ships look animated anyway unless they put a switch in the game client to turn on the black outlines for everything like Champions Online does. There is simply no way to mix "live action" style with "cartoon" style in the engine, it has to be all or nothing.
You mean the ones that got beaten by a single Luna even though they had 3 to 1 advantage (or was 2 to 1), they only seemed OP because the Calis are weak.
Normally I'd agree simply because it's from a current TV show, however since CBS is being picky about how LD stuff looks in other media there might be a good chance you're wrong.
It's called double dipping. They can sell the standard version now and then sell a legendary version later with that special ability

Probably installed when the Cerritos had to go through the major overhaul at the end of S1.
and here I thought that double dipping was exclusive to food.
Yea, still I think it won't effect the ships.
As long as they stick to offering slightly updated &/or modernized versions; and most won't want cartoon ships, why I'm happy with how they modernized the Titan.
So I'd be fine for a slightly modernized or refit Parliment class for the 2410 which is easily 20-30 years after Lower Decks.
Lower Decks is set in the Star Trek universe in the year 2380.
the K'Vort? Just kidding, we know
Thomas explained that with the Luna/Titan they intentionally based the new model on the old, pre-LD design which they had the rights to so that they would avoid any issues with CBS approval. With something like the California class that wouldn't be an option, so they need to work with CBS to see what they will and will not allow for a realistic interpretation of it. And Cryptic aren't the only ones involved in these discussions apparently, as Eaglemoss and the devs for some Trek mobile game are also talking to CBS about how the LD ships should be brought to life in other media, CBS is just being very protective of the branding for LD.
And I'm not blaming Cryptic for this behavior either. If people with free will and money are willing to buy different versions of the same ship over and over, why wouldn't Cryptic take advantage of it?
