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.

"USS YORKTOWN (CV-5) operating in the Pacific, photographed from a Douglas TBD-1 torpedo plane that has just taken off from her deck. Other TBD and SBD aircraft are also ready to be launched. A F4F-3 'Wildcat' fighter is parked on the outrigger just forward of the island. The other ships in the company include the fleet oiler USS GUADALUPE (AO-32), a destroyer and a heavy cruiser. This view has been retouched to censor the CXAM-radar antenna mounted atop Yorktown's foremast."
