Has anyone tried adding this ship into FO? Was eyeing this particular as being a decent candidate New Orleans Class re-texture Download, Star Trek: Armada 2 Ships

or perhaps this one from bridge commander? New Orleans Class Mod Pack Download, Bridge Commander Ships

...where did you get that information from?

Probably wasn't talking about the next patch.

Aye . Optec doesn't know yet where the New Orleans will go yet (in terms of gameplay) - since it is his favorite ship, that was more the reason for including it

Oh, sorry I thought it was definitely in the next one.

yep, the New Orleans will be in in a future patch, but not the next one I see her around the cruiser level, perhaps something like a smaller Akira

Unlike the Akira, this ship looks as if it actually has 15 photon torpedo launchers.  It could be another experimental ship, so that you could give it some really cool specials and justify it (since it would have to be similar in power to the descent) but I guess it's not really experimental, is it?

Lets not talk about Torpedoes... the New Orleans is smaller than the Akira, anyway.

It might be shorter than an akira, but with a proper secondary hull it looks like it has way more volume, from the shots I've seen of it.  And what's wrong with torpedoes?  It has several integrated launchers, and 3 big honking torpedo launchers, which look kind of silly, especially the bottom one.

New Orleans = tiny ship with 3 outboard pods that were never called torpedo launchers (most likely sensor pods like the Saratoga had). I'd be amazed if it could fit 2 launchers on the whole frigate, especially the tiny stardrive.

i think it should be weaker than an akira and weaker than a galaxy. but more powerful than an excel I cos it has the galaxy nacelle.

its called a frigate a lot, so how could we make it special in that way. maybe make it low defense so it fits in well in fleets as it needs help to stay alive, but high offense so it helps its fleet-mates out. or give it ability to reinforce allied ship shields like in vanilla A2 with the aegian.

Well, you guys know best.  I was just going from what I saw from Ex Astris Scientia.  The final side view made it look like it has lots of volume.  What are those pods if they aren't torpedo launchers?

And should this ship be a warp in, are they making any more of these?
