Check in federation retextures.  This site has a lot of cool ships.

Just as long as someone releases the President's Ship, I will be forever happy.

Now would you look at that?  Now that's a ship worthy to carry on the tradition and honor of the class.  Although FEDERATION is spelled wrong.  No offense.  Just thought I'd point it out.  Oh, any chance of getting my hands on either of these ships, and could they please be for SFC3? 

Think that got fixed awhile ago, Starforce pointed it out, at least the version on my HDD is fixed. As for which ship the president would use, it would probably be a galaxy class. The ship was designed with explorartion and treates in mind and has a larger volume that a solvern, it would be much easier to convert for high profile guests as well.

In my opinion even which do not match Chrisies one the presidents ship shouldn't be nor Sovereign nor Galaxy but the Excelsior. I propose the B-Variant. All Admiral's ships were Excelsior A or D variants. In my opinion the UFP President should fly with Excelsior-B variant (Enterprise B like) :) :D

Take care :D

I thought if the president went on a dipmoatic mission then he/she would use the current flagship as transport. I liked the look of the Connie. Make a kinda strange sence as it was the most used ship in the fleet but the esign is a little too old prehaps. U going to releasethe sovy and the connie for sfc3?

I see I have someone else on my side.  Please, release any of these versions for SFC3, or better yet, all of them.  :-D

I have to disagree with you on this one.In "All Good Things" Admiral Riker used the refitted/upgraded Ent D as his ship. And besides we're not talking about a military ship.Though I am no fan of the design,the Olympic Class is a good candidate for the pres ship.But on another note....has anyone ever considered doing a retexture on the stock Pres Liner? Or is the idea here just to get rid of that model ?

Well Fury, if I may call you Fury, you do great work.  I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but could it be possible to get my hands on that retextured Sov?  If it is unethical, I understand.  I would just really love to see this ship in game.

Quickly throwing in my two cents.. :)

I'm a fan of using a Connie or possibly Excelsior personally if we're talking TNG.  The Connie carries on the tradition and history of Federation ships (and the legacy of Kirk et al), with the only drawback being a ship that may not be fast enough or able to fully defend itself against modern attackers.

While the Excelsior also would be a good platform, it is still actively used by Starfleet in a defense role even at the time of DS9/Voyager/Nemesis.  As such, I'd not see it as being as good a choice as the Connie... but it'd still be a good choice for showing the history and tradition of the Federation considering the 80+ years of service by that time.

That'd be my two cents.. and I have two other ideas that I'm going to try and flesh out in two or three ships.  ;)

I dout starfleet would allow their presidant to fly off in a ship that could easily be destroyed. The ship they give him would have to be fast, Good combat capabiltys, Good dipmoatic features, and be a symbol of strength. If u take this into accoun then u lose alot of classes like the Arika, excelsior, New orleans and Ambasador. Really ur only left with the Galaxy and the Sovy Which were both buit for deep space exploration and Defanceive duties. And the sovy has the turning circle of a ship 1/4 its size. As well as being the most advanced class in the fleet.
