Typhoon -> Assault Crusier Refit
Jupiter -> Flight Deck Crusier

I think these type of classes would fit these 2 ships, altough on a personal note i think the Jupiter is ugly , but i rather see it ingame then another shutle.

Good idea!

I'm not thinking KDF players would be too happy if the Feds got flight deck cruisers too...

I think the Jupiter would be best as a Dreadnought (live up to it's name) with a ton of weaponry.

It's simple. Spruce the two ships up and sell em in the c-store for 2,000 c-points each. I'd call that a profit, and if you don't want it, don't buy it. There's no reason to ruin it for those who do.

I agree with you on the Oddy. And I also agree with you about adding the Jupiter to the C-Store. If player's don't want it, they don't have to have it. As an adium, I would restrict it to players who have reached Fleet Admiral (If they would just add the ten more levels for it).

Basically, making them playable would require somebody to put in a lot of work, and the people who could do it don't have the time.
Tbh this isn't a huge problem, even if it is true. Most models in game are going to be low poly anyhow, due to performance issues. They only make high-polys for texturing purposes (normal maps) so that they can basically make a low-poly game model appear to be high-poly.

In any case they could easily make whatever ship they wanted to be playable if they were inclined to do so. It's just a matter of what their priorities are on the development side of things.

I still think the Jupiter should be a carrier. with Bulk like that she would be great at deploying fighters.

Yeah, I'm hoping that if the two ships don't come out before the level increase, they will be some of the ships implemented for the new ranks.

On another note, here's a picture done by Phoenix316 that they made to spruce up the Jupiter and make it a bit more svelt. I think Phoenix316 did a great job!

REVISED JUPITER

I'd fly that sexy beast :^D
