That's my point. What I said was that, when you do suggest a purpose, in-game role etc, then that's fine, but when you just post a picture of a ship without that, then it's not really suggesting an idea.

this is the ideas AND features request area. and a new ship is a feature. as i said, maybe the devs will see the ship and combine it with a role they already have devised, or maybe seeing the ship will trigger some other forum member to have an idea for a purpose and post it.

ideas dont need to be fully fleshed out to be worth of posting.

For what it's worth, I think that ship looks badass and would love to see it in my Fleet Ops as a 3rd or 4th Avatar ship.  Yes, the current Fleet Ops has little use for ship designs found at the very edge of the ST universe, but 2 more avatars means 4 more Avatar ships, and since you don't want Avatar ships to be mainstream designs, I think it's totally okay to have different looking ships with pretty much the same role.  It adds flavor to the game, and the ships can't be built alongside each other in the same game.

As for game mechanics, I usually suggest them because that's what I do.  I don't think there's anything wrong with just suggesting a picture and seeing what people do with it, in fact the devs might appreciate that more than my massively detailed ideas.

I have an idea, how about since each race has two tech trees (I haven't played the game in a while, in other words, the two Commanding Officers? ) that each tree has different models or slightly modified models?

Might work especially for the Klingons since each house can give their ships a unique look...

And yes, I know it's not at all that simple, but might be a nice idea for a mod
