I think a good idea would be to have an entire shipyard dedicated to building TMP era ships. Kind of an emergency shipyard that can quickly produce large quantities of older ships but maybe up their stats a bit to make them more effective, you could use it while your base is under attack and have the TMP shipyard spit out a bunch of Mirandas, constitutions and constellations in a short amount of time to hold off the enemy while your other shipyards are building modern cruisers and battleships to come in at later times. If someone can put together a TMP shippack (not for warp-ins) that is up-to-date you could use the Mckinnely-class shipyard and have the 'buildable warp-in' mod from TChapman500 in the other shipyards.

Possible build list
1. Constitution-class refit
2. Miranda-class refit
3. Constellation-class refit
4. Hero-class
5. Iowa-class
6. Oberth-class
7. Federation-class
8. Akula-class
9. Hermes-class
10. Excelsior-class (could be a varient maybe the Lakota sub-class. Although as I understand it, a warped in Excelsior becomes a Lakota-Varient when its promoted to Veteran, maybe with this version give it quantum torpedoes. I don't believe the current version has quantums just the Excelsior-II)

any other suggestions?

I think this would be a cool idea. And, it would give the McKinley yard an actual purpose, as opposed to a map-editor-only obbject which lets you build the warp-ins (on that line, I think that, if TMP ships were to take over the McKinley yard, there should still be another seperate yard that still does the job of the McKinley as it is now.).

But you forgot to include the Proxima. I'd use the Constituion and the Miranda, but the Constellation, Akula, and Proxmia classes are my favorite TMP ships, and so I'd like to see all three buildable, rather than the former two. No problem, though; if this does become a reailty, and the Promixa isn't included, I won't mind, because I'll still have however-many new ships to build irregardless.

It seems, though, that if this is able to build small spammer units (which'd probably have the same stats as the Mandril as far as Health goes), it should either be buildable really fast, or make it a Borg Cube/Klingon End Station (which name I cannot remember) kind-of thing, where it takes possibly a long time to build, and won't probably get built before most online games end, but gives it own useful benefits to those who mamange to build it.
