The Excelsior-II in FO is not supposed to be the Excelsior refit class, but a new one named the same, as I understand it.
BUT:
I would love original Excelsior and Miranda, as they are so common throuout the series. But make it non-buildable.
May I remind you of the idea with the scrapyards. I would love federation junkyards like in that double Episode. Controlled from a small space station.
That would be the perfect source for these ship classes, if they are not added to SF command.

No the Excelsior-II and the Excelsior-B are one in the same as I take it. They look EXACTLY like each other. I dont believe its right to be able to build a ship like this but no other TMP era ships. Frankly the junkyard idea wont work because what are the chances of a junkyard being right next to your base. Just because these ships are old people seem to think they have no right being in this game, or alot of games because you dont seem them in a show or movie firing 20 torpedos at a time and wiping out fleets of vilians. These ships were in the show regardless if they had much of an impact on the enemy and no one seems to want these ships fighting along side their newer counter-parts. I truly dont see what the problem is.
I could be wrong and the Excelsior-II is a new ship, if so I'd like it replaced with the origional Excelsior. I was told somewhere in these forums, perhaps by you cts that they were the same ship.

nope, the excelsior-II class (it's not the excelsior class which is known from the series) is a final model. but there will probably be a excelsior class to hire or to find on some maps ExcelsiorB - non cannon ExcelsiorB - non cannon, there actuly is an excelsiorB but its ur model thart is non cannon. @cts006
Well it's actually the Excelsior-B Class made by Tachy from scifi-art. the one u mean is an Excelsior refit used as the Enterprise NCC 1701-B.
Just saw we have a typo there in beta 2 - it's not Excelsior-II but Excelsior-B
DOCa Cola And I would really appreciate an original Excelsior, either as a warp in vessel or as something buildable by some old yards only placable as map objects.
It has always been the most common ship in the federation. hehe, mine too and it's already on the todo list, so no worries simply love the design and the strenghts it is reflecting DOCa Cola Yep ;-) perhaps it will be buildable from the mckinley yard - a non buildable yard which already is in fleet operations - or you will be able to find it damaged and empty in some scrapyards
but i don't think starfleet will build new excelsior class vessels, cause they are very old and therefore they won't be a buildable ship. That's what I found. Most of it here: http://forum.fleetops.net/index.php?showto...=Excelsior&st=1 |

I've seen most of that and was told by Optec or DOCa Cola somewhere that the Excelsior-II IS the Excelsior-B but finding that post would be like a needle in a haystack. The rest of my statements stand, TMP ships should be buildable.

True but the whole 'Excelsior conversation' is irrelevant. TMP era ships deserve a place in my fleet at least and I hope eventually they will be able to.
200th post congrats to me, take that Valorous and your next Lt.Cdr.White
NO ONE CAN STOP ME!

You = TMP Fanatic
TMP = !@#

Still i non buildable scrap yard would be good, ships wouldent cost credits but would cost crew and metal.

About the petition: What's the point? They hire the cheapest, and rush it. Then we get a relatively low-quality product like A2 was. You'd be better off petitioning for the A2 source code (or at least some of it), then we can get good modders like Doca, Optec, Phantom, Achilles, etc, to get it to being a whole new game....
