The endgame B'rel should be labeled K'vort. It's essentially the same model, just ~30% larger - and stronger, of course. This could fit in well with STO's game mechanic (seeing how ships of a higher tier are always larger, even when they're of the same class - just last night I've seen a small and a large Galaxy :p).

I just hope that IF we get a T5 B'rel/K'vort it won't be 10 times larger just because all other endgame ships get so ridiculously huge.

As for customization: I always imagined it could be sweet to have an option to set the angle of the wings. Ideally, this could be done in the midst of the game, but ship customization is a good workaround too.

Can we mention related wishes, too? It would be awesome if our cloak would work in Sector Space as well, not just after we've warped right into the midst of a raging battle.

I personally believe that Cryptic should have some leeway to design thier own concepts for faction ships in addition to what exists in the genre. STO is soft canon and the genre never really opens up the other factions completely- leaving room for creative liscence to some extant for the Dev's to play with.

I wouldn't mind a few creative designs. I am not happy with all the non-canon designs in the game, but I think CapnLogan and the rest of his team seem now to have a good "understanding" of Startrek design aesthetics, so I expect future ships to look a lot better and more fitting.

The feds , being the primary characters, have a well developed ship of the line list by default. I just think STO, since it is soft canon and has no effect on the genre, could benefit from some new creative designs for Romulans, KDF, Reemans, etc.

I'd love to see the Typhon Class Carrier From Star Trek: Invasion make it into the game.

As well as the Valkyrie Class Fighters to go with her.

While more ships is good, it'd be nice to have the option of using the existing ships at the higher levels. Rather than getting a whole new ship when you increase in rank, it'd be nice to have the option of simply upgrading your existing ship if you wanted.

Whether this is practical for them to implement or not, I can't say but it would be nice to see more variation of ships at end game.

I tend to agree - but only after the official ones befitting the era are done. With the exception of the K'vort, this pretty much already applies to the KDF, but I can see a lot of potential for new Gorn/Nausicaan/Orion/etc designs as those factions are historically low-profile when it comes to official appearances.

Yes - but not limitless. Maybe have an option to purchase console expansions, with a maximum of, say, 3 slots. Your choice where to put those slots (you can upgrade three consoles once, or a single console three times, etc).

This way, a certain range of "refitting" would make it easier for players to keep their favorite ships a little longer (I've stuck to my little Nova until I hit Rear Admiral), but still avoid having seriously outdated models outperform newer classes.

My wishlist is not to add more ships, but to add more detail to them.

Updating the list again, good stuff so far.

Someone look for a detailed model or pic of the Typhon, perhaps a BC mod or something, about the best one I could find when looking quickly is This one


Re: Cryptic ships - Absolutely don't want them to stop creating their own, this topic isn't to find alternatives for their designs.

Its just a place to compile all the canon ships that might be a good fit in the game.


Oh and good call on the New Orleans, I had forgotten about it. Canon says its half the size of a Galaxy, so it might indeed make a good Escort or Science ship (it has lots of mission pods on it - Optional?)
