Federation Class Dreadnought

[GrandMaster Yoda]

Hi

This will just be a short request. I think it would be great if they added the Federation dreadnought to the game because they have the constitution class and the galaxy, galaxy dreadnought.

here is a pic of the ship (incase you don't know how it looks)

Basically as you can see it is just a warship/dreadnought version of the constitution class just like the galaxy dreadnought

Thanks

Already in there. Galaxy X as seen in 'All Good Things'

STO however coded it with a crooked nose 'ie the spinal phaser lance'. I have complained about this fact for years. STOs solution was to add an updated ship skin though another ship you have to buy in the C-Store.

Well, if it is a request, dont expect to grab any attention writting in these forums.. you know, there are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forums for these things..

I was just wrting it here to see what the community has to say about it before i go to Arc. (and yes i know these aren't the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forums.)

Apollogies. In that class I think it would hardly be a concern to Cryptic, as in that power level you would fly it for only a few hours before being in a higher tier of ships.

If applied properly like the SteamRunner, you could buy it with a T5or T6 refit, I think there needs to be more examples but I don't see why not. But I've not seen them do a release like that other than the SteamRunner. Which is also very fun to fly. It really let you appreaciate the day of the topredo escourt/destroyers. In STF's with a good DPS balance with any team mate, soon as the targets shields droped you could blast them to bit in a hurry. The TeamFortress Console was handy in Borg missions to team buff shields.

The question then becomes loadout and class, what you'd expect for strat. Shield or Armor driven.

I hear what you are saying. We see in STO with the Galaxy dreadnought it is more tanky based hence the Commander and Lt. Commander engineering slots, but do you think it is possible to make a tactical oriented version by replacing the Commander and Lt.Commander engineering slots with tactical and maybe making it a 5 fore 2 aft or 5fore 3 aft (regarding weapons configuration) also making it less tanky with reduced hull health maybe abit more shield rating just to stay alive and also to increase turning speed to (lets say stock turning is 12deg/s)

Then possible we can keep the ship traits the way they are except the lvl 5 trait we can have like a fire at will with overload beams or maybe like the Xindi-primate dreadnought the 2 overload beam shots, (superior weapons fire) i believe the trait called. also possible for balacing purposes we can say the ship can't equip cannons.

Regarding Consoles: maybe we can have a tactical or exploration console (i think we have to little of them) the only ships that has those are the Dyson science destroyer and the sub only ship chimera i think.


(I am running out of ideas here) possible also a "lance" weapon and maybe a ship heal console.

As you can see from my about suggestions this ship is very tactical oriented with a hint of defence. my personal opinion is we dont have much ships with tactical consoles (we only get tactical ability's with 3 piece sets which is a waste of time it fills the availible slots (e.g. the working bees on the odessy it doesnt do much also you can't saucer sept and release your hanger pet at the same time -_-)

This is just a very rought overview. (if there is any spelling or grammar mistakes plz excuse xD)

So, I've heard all around about the 'problem' with the Galaxy X Dreadnought, but I've never actually noticed it myself, from either looking at screenshots or the in-game view in ship requisitions.

I'm not questioning its existence, but I'm wondering where exactly it is, since I must not be looking closely enough.

Just speculating here, but could also be a restriction by CBS, as the original Constellation could be considered their "property" therefore they have a say in what can be done to it.

mm What i am not talking about the constellation class i am talking about the constitution Dreadnought version. (the ship commanded by Kirk, only this one has 3 nacelles)

[Vellari]

That's what I meant, sry. I'm sure CBS holds tight reins on the original content.

But the constitution class is already in the game what difference would it make if they added the federation class is it just one extra nacell?

[Vellari]

It is indeed, as the original untouched version. My point is (purely speculating) they (CBS) might not allow modifications to it, hence there isn't a dreadnought version in the game. No way know this for sure, naturally.

Good luck getting that old lady in the game. We can't even have most Starfleet vessels from the TMP era so getting something from TOS might as well be impossible, especially anywhere near T6.

ENT era junkyard ships all over the place but TOS is a taboo for fed ships... makes no sense but thats the modus operandi I'm afraid.

Look for an Origonal Skin FED Dred, fly under the saucer section and zoom in on the way the seams on the 'phaser lance' as it extends acoss the saucer section are offset slightly. Enough to be obvious to anyone who owns one immediately, but not terribly noticable to anyone else at any distance. I reported it and after awhile added it to my rage list of Crypitc's Sins because of their utter lack of professionalism.

The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Cryptic response was another ship to buy, with a skin which when applied to the FED Dred, fixes that issue.

For me it would be a point of personal and professional honor to devote every spare moment I could to resolve the issue caused by my slackness. Working alone, in a heroin induced coma, I could have 'fixed it' by now. That would include taking a 4 year degree in programming on the way.

If I 'evar' find 'that guy', I will verbally thrash him until he flees the area in shame.

You assume greatly that Cryptic could be enticed thusly. They can not, and have never shown the slightest indication they ever could be. The discussion here is purely hypothetical, and in the reality of what ifs, anything goes.

With 3 nacells you could go any way you wanted, Tac or Sci focused, or a toggle like the dyson so you could slot both and choose when reach were more useful. Assuming a console item included, it would likely either be the swicth its self, with some stat mods, or something engineering based for fast escapes or survivability in some way. DPS is not a concern at that class as long as you have the highest available tier equipment for your level.

Well I finally noticed it and woah, I totally get where all the frustration has been coming from. Its one of those things that's hard to see, but impossible to un-see once you have.

I always thought it was the on the nose of the ship, I.E. the furthest foward part of the saucer section, and not on the spinal lance. Guess that's why I didn't see it before.
