U.S.S. Panzerstadt-Bayreuth NX-97010 A

Not a full successor ship like Enterprise A is to the Enterprise, my lore explanation \ RP idea for this ship is badly damaged in some adventure and almost completely rebuilt, using new blueprints based off scans of the Terran dreadnought featured in the most recent campagin (hence the temporary NX designation)

It's an MMO - the point is to be kinda cringey right?

Seen here taking a shakedown cruise over the Andor and it's moon Andoria, the home of my captain & main 'toon - Nassys Pohl.

With the release of this ship being discounted and a Zen-store purchase bonus (not right word?) I decided to go for the Legendary Terran Dreadnought. I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea - I know the Odyssey\Yorktown class isn't a fave at the best of times, and the weapons pod here won't do it many favours - but I like it.

It's sporting the Galaxy hull material here, which I think looks pretty good - though I have been running the Sovereign material, since I'm a sucker for that bronze-y deflector and lighter hull panelling. I'm sure there's some vanity shields that look great on this, but I don't have any of the decent ones yet.

Last image here with some peregrine fighters doing loops around the ship for lulz

USS SARATOGA (CV-3) sinking after Test Baker, the second atomic bomb test, of Operation Crossroads in the Bikini Atol. The background radiation was too high and had not dissipated enough for personnel to board to stop the flooding.

In the background is NEW YORK (BB-34) to the right, two Sims-class destroyers on the left.

USS SARATOGA (CV-3) at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, Hawaii. SARATOGA's refit at Puget Sound Navy Yard was completed on January 2, 1944 and she arrived at Pearl Harbor on January 7. "The ship, now the flagship of Rear Admiral Samuel Ginder, commander of Task Group 58.4, sailed from Pearl Harbor on January 19 with USS LANGLEY (CVL-27) and USS PRINCETON (CVL-23), to support the invasion of the Marshall Islands scheduled to begin on February 1. Her air group at this time consisted of 36 Hellcats of VF-12, 24 Dauntlesses of VB-12 and eight Avengers of VT-8."
