At least the designer admits that the design is derived from the Intrepid IU

That's a bit more than just derived. It's the Intrepid with a bit of tweaking and some fins. STO turns out another abortion.

Do not like.

Looks kinda like a Mirror Universe Intrepid might look.

I am not surprised, they did the same for constitution, defiant, sovereign and akira/norway class and yet they somehow manage always to make their "new" designs butt-ugly.

It is not only the design per se but also the whole graphical style with exhaust trails etc, ships looking like plastic kits...honestly, there are better looking bridge commander mods out there..... .

I sincerely hope that noone is forced to fly one of those abominations and that the original designs (akira, nebula, galaxy) are able to compete in endgame.

I think those are wings.

Yeah, I'm guessing no one on that site realizes that in space they don't matter, and if landing they would break really fast, and really bad...

I think these people think they are making it look cool, but in reality making some stupid looking shit... :bangwall:

Wow, I'm more confused than if I hadn't read it... Had they come up with a good bs excuse, which, IDK what they could have come up with that woul;d qualify, but something other than that, I may have been able to just look over it, but that's just a bad bs excuse, lol.

I, too, am forced to wonder, "Why bother?" Just use an Intrepid and call it a day.

I don't think it's particularly ugly (considering what we have seen before) but doesn't look like a new desing, more like a refitted Intrepid so they should just say that and not pretend it's a new class.

It pretty much is the Defiant. Lame.
