Interesting design, I don't understand some of the new Klingon ships though. They look far too smooth and clean in their design. Shouldn't Klingon ships be more about firepower? The B'Rel and K'Tinga are fairly chunky with pipes sticking out the side etc. Since when did the Klingons start looking at the aesthetics of a ship?

I don't want that to sound like I'm putting down your work or anything it looks really good .

Here is an interesting request for the feds, T5 escort

Maybe the Battle Cruiser idea needs to go higher on BOff slots for the QIb'etlh (Shadow Sword)
since the fed idea above has a 7 BOff arraingement, near Cruiser hull and escort turn rates?

No, it does not. the linked idea is out of line with the amount of boff skill slots with all other ships in game.

True, but I thought it might be of interest to see what some think is balanced in comparison to what others think is balanced.

Come on Roach, when have feds ever considered balance in there requests.

Somebody posted an escort design based off a Shatner TNG era story. The Ship was a Defiant class with a black paint job.

His Proposal was 6 weapons fore, 6 aft, more hull than an Oddy, More shields than the best Sci ships and some stupid number of BOFFs. Oh and it had Battle cloak and a super weapon.

Feds don't consider balance or fairness in ship designs just raw unadulterated advantage.

Here's another funny one for you then to enjoy
Tin Man

Its a fan rep of a favorite ship from the Episode Tin Man/TNG.
Like most fan recreations, its far beyond anything curently ingame.

really great job!
BUT
this ship is not totally in the klingon spirit: color is not the good one and this ship is too clean for a klingon one.
And we all know that CBS is watching us and don t want that the game got to far from the serie spirit.

In the last few years I have played the game, I've stuck to Fed due to the Klinks lack of good ships and PVE missions but in all honesty, if this ship was in the game as a T5, I would abandon my fed characters to level up a Klingon just to use it. Great job! I think the Dev team should take a serious look at ships designed by players.

What would really be cool is if STO came out with a foundry type thing but its sole purpose was for ship design.
