So, who else is hoping we'll get a pic of one of the other upcomming ships from dstahl's twitter next week?
The Oberth is ok, but I'm far more excited about the Ambassador, Vesta, Andorian ship, and fighters that the team is working on. Of course, none of them may be as close to finished as the Oberth, so this may be impossible, but here's to hoping!

Excluding the Oberth, I can't wait for that ship.
Really? Not even the upcomming Fed and KDF fighters? Or the Andorian ship? Dang. I do kind of like the New Orleans, as it is the best of all the kitbashes, but I'm still psyched about the upcomming ships.
Nope, none of them.
Though to be fair, the only one I am loathe to see in-game is the Vesta. The others are simply inconsequential to my enjoyment.
Well, the Ambassador class is essential in my opinion. It was an Enterprise's class afterall. It will be nice to have fighters for shuttle missions, since they should be equipable with cannons. Andorian ships are pretty awesome (before Enterprise, I didn't much care for Andorians, but after I watched it, they are one of my favorites). Now the Vesta I actually kind of like. It looks really awesome, it has some great armaments (360 turret cannons if I'm not mistaken), and some very advanced technology. All around it's a pretty nice ship. I like it at least as much as the other soft-canon ship in the game, the Luna.
She is pretty epic: http://images.wikia.com/startrek/images/7/75/Aventine_in_flight.jpg
I hope the devs do a good job with her.
If the Vesta ends up leaning more towards the Science end of things then my Sci alt will probably get a new flagship.;)
Just my 2 sence. don't get me wrong. I'll fly it. I'll craft the concoles. I will rock.
It honestly doesn't matter to me as much though since I won't expect as many people to use it as the Excelsior class.
It was technically a cruiser with both tactical and science abilities. Here's my setup for it from another thread:
Meh. It's like a Star Cruiser, except with awkward jagged lines.
It could of course be swapped. A LT. COMM Science, and a LT and ENS Science. I had tactical set up there because I like my 4 torpedo yield.
I don't see the awkward jagged lines. I love the warp nacelles and the deflector dish.
It does kind of look like a Star Cruiser though, that may be why I like it so much.
Though for my star cruiser. I am searching for an item [Hyper-Impulse Engines Mk Xi [Turn]x2 [Aux]].
I would really like to see the Andrew Probert concept version as a variant. It's the version seen in the gold relief sculptures on the Enterprise-D ready room. You can see it here. This, along with Doug Drexler's NX refit, would be worth the extra rights discussions, in my opinion. But then again I'm not the one who'd have to do the leg work.
I love the NX-01 refit:

Same here.
That would be nice. Make it so Daniel
Who knows, they may add it eventually. I'm fine with them adding the Typhoon, as long as the don't add the Jupiter. *shudders at the thought of the space titanic populating sector space*
Lol. I just clicked on the link in your sig going to your characters. With names like that, it's pretty predictable what the andorian ship would be called. :eek:
Lol, Explain?
Well, so far you have the USS Spaceball One, the IKS Rawr I'm Evil, the USS Make Things Go, the USS Demi Lovato, and the IKS P.O.S.. It's pretty safe to say that your Andorian ship will have a pretty comical name.
