Could this be a new ship (for Mayson maybe)?

Hi, I was wondering if there could be a place for this ship. The name doesn't have to be the same, just that it is what I call it. Anyway, to me this sorta fits the FO style. What do you guys think?

Looks like the love-child of a three-way between a Galaxy, Sovereign and an Excelsior. Which then fell out of the ugly tree face first and hit every branch on the way down...

IMHO.

i'm guessing thats a tact full way of saying u dnt like the design lol
i think looks ok untill you get to the defelctor area imho the deflector looks too small or in the wrong postition (poss both)

I try to be subtle 

But yeah good point I think the deflector is the biggest issue I see. Maybe if it was just blue instead of the layered blue-red. And it should be larger as Blade pointed out  looks too buried in the superstructure of the engineering section.

Nah, I more think that the nacelles are too thin and worst of all, layed out wrong for their Sovy-style.
The deflector could use a little more shape... but it's not that bad. I think it belongs into the modding section instead of requests because feds already have the Excelsior I and II (did I mention I also had Excelsior III, IV and V in my modded 3.07?  ), so a third one would just be a pointless addition. Make it available for fans of the design as a mod and it will be just fine.

That was a joke XD

But I modded in the Excelsior Refit type and the Carolina class (both from federation compilation) as a warpin, because I like that late 23rd-century style.

looks a bit like a intrepid class that had a collision with a excelsior ...

Unattractive and somewhat pointless.  :lol:

Indeed. Gamer... looks aside what role do you see this ship filling? I am assuming by it's component parts that it is either a heavy cruiser or a light battleship like an Ambassador or something. I think the Fed's have all their bases covered... so where would you see this fitting into the game?

Nowhere. The Federation is completely kitted out, it doesn't need any more ships. None of the species do. These 'Hey, new ship?' threads are completely pointless.

Well, I was thinking this could fill the role of a Defensive Heavy Cruiser. Reason being in my taste is that I see it being able to attack multiple oncoming vessels with its phasers(thanks to its good quantiy of phaser arrays). Though it'd be slow, it would also have strong shields. And it'd have a special where it trades in some of its shield recharge for faster firing phasers and also broader multi-targeting (meaning it increases its maximum target limit on the phasers). Plus maybe as a Veteran those phasers would be converted into Quantum Phasers.

You say fill the role Gamer, but in truth I don't think there is a role to fill, most races, especially the federation, seem to have enough ships that show their different diversities.

personally i would like to see some more ships ... but only in the mixed tech part.
There would fit some ships that are made for taking down specally the ships of the Race where you did steal the technology.

as example:
as fed player a borg mixed tech ship:
a medium sized ship, with 1 phaser for self defence while it moves. If it stands still it can fire a huge Particel Projection Beam that deal huge kinetic damage to the structure of a target (so no explosion dampening will help) but has due its nature only a moderate effect against shields. Also as we all know: the bigger the target, the more it will hurt it, because smaller targets would just be pushed aside, without damaging there structure alot. The weapon would be a killer against borg, but not so much against other races.

its just a example, but i would like such things.

So in other words... a Descent?
