Possible Nova replacements for Mayson Special.

posted on June 6th, 2011, 7:24 pm

In the Nova chassis topic it was proposed that the Nova became available for both avatars instead of being a Mayson exclusive. I'll quote one of my own posts as a starting point to discuss possible replacements for the Nova as Mayson Special.

Nova for both (or future all 3) avatars would be nice, but that brings a question as to the replacement of the Nova as Mayson special.

In terms of canon designs we're limited:

Miranda class - old design

New Orleans - AFAIK planned as warp-in or map unit

Danube class - Harassment from a runabout armed with Micro-Photon torpedoes

Promethius - planned as map unit. Seems a bit too aggressive for Mayson.

Springfield - according to DITL a forerunner of the Nebula produced in small numbers.

Rigel Class - 3 nacelles + explorer Rigel Class - Specs this could be a interesting supply/support vessel.

Aegis class from stock A2 - planned as map unit

Overall the options are limited and I'd like to hear suggestions for possible nova replacements as Mayson special.

Edit: After giving it some thought, perhaps the Nebula class. Same time frame as Galaxy, but more numerous and adaptable due to the pods. Perhaps a basic Nebula which can be refitted (different versions from the warp-in)
