So I was playing some Star Trek: Bridge Commander and I came across a mod for the Typhoon Class. It's a pretty fun ship to fly! Can we please have it in Star Trek Online? Maybe with one of those cool Terran Empire hull materials?
Streamline that to a more organic shape as a modern variant and put it either fleet or near legendary quality much like the Terran C-Store ships are
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

Instead it seems the game is going to get yet another Galaxy variant.
If I'm not misinterpreting the pictures of the new bundle.
Not sure why you think we're getting another Galaxy. There are still two ships that were modeled for Wolf 359 that has not been revealed as in the bundle yet. Springfield and Freedom classes.

I have no idea what else to make of that ship in the middle.

It is definitely a Niagra class, which is built on a modified Ambassador hull with some Galaxy parts like the nacelles. Chances are, if anything, it is probably the newest addition to the support cruiser line, not the Galaxy line.
When we first got t6 ships ages ago I was practically giddy at the thought of a t6 typhoon finally. They tried to say the typhoon t6 was one of the command ships but yeah I just don't see it. Same line of ships, possibly, but an actual t6 typhoon, nah. Still want to see an actual t6 typhoon.

It would look great streamlined for better warp efficiency, prime could be Miracle Worker and mirror Intel.
We've got the Jupiter class as a carrier so why not have the Typhoon as a purebred battleship?
Use a weather related name like Hurricane class if you want to keep the weather themed names.

Not really the same as an actual Typhoon class or modern version.

Honestly I never understood the appeal. To me there's just something that doesn't do it for me with the old Typhoon model. And those nacelles really don't do it for me either.
The pylons could do with some cleaning up and modernising

I would have loved to see all the old STO models being a bit refurbished and then kept in the game as the original purple-colored Terran Empire faction with the Typhoon as it's flagship.

Purple Typhoon Supremacy!
Absolutely! I liked the old mirror skins. And another terran faction from another universe in a three-way-war would also bring some new wind into the stale mirror stories.

Terran Empire (Red) vs Terran Empire (Yellow) vs Terran Empire (Purple) ?! That's a lot of Terran Empire! I'll help whichever side gets me a Typhoon!
The original mirror universe ships were purple, way before STO had actors from the shows or a real mirror storyline. They were mostly one-offs and part of a event TFO. The skins later changed to yellow and finally red every time the terran faction was revised and rewritten.

I miss the blimp version of the Jupiter Class.

From the front at least, it looks more like a Galaxy than anything else to me.

Its a Niagara Class. A three-nacelle vessel.

It was his son. I believe his name was James O'Brien, who commanded the ISS Molly.
