Armitage Heavy Escort carrier

USS Franklin- Star trek beyond- via Trekcore.com

As you watched “Star Trek beyond” in which hit movie screens this week… when I looked at the USS Franklin it reminded me of more the NX series Starships that was seen on the Enterprise series with Captain Johnathan Archer exploring for the very first time which that exploration led towards the formation birth of the United Federation of Planets..

Looking at the USS Franklin, is like looking at the larger, bulkier harden version of the NX series Starship. The primary saucer hulling is very much tanked up, so as the NX type nacelles. As a challenge, what would a modern Star Trek online USS Franklin look like…? Looking at the details of the Franklin… Using the various parts and components of heavy carrier escorts.. The closest version of that vessel class would be a heavy escort carrier class… Thinking using a Altai Class saucer section with the Arkia hull with Armitage nacelles in getting the stretch sleek look in which nacelles …

Noticing the Franklin is a small very nibble moving ship with it main form of manoeuvrability is reliant of heavy retro’s thrusters… so the best choice is using a tier six Alita heavy carrier escort class as a main platform with all forwarding cannons torpedoes and after turrets in maximizing go in quick, lock, load, fire and dive out in any battle situations..

STAR TREK ONLINE – Tier six | the Alita Class heavy escort carrier..

Given that you want to down size your carrier from a Galaxy dreadnought carrier to something smaller with still the same amount of fire power but with a little more maneuverability… Given the Armitage Heavy Escort carrier class is your best bet among with being Jem Hadar…

“The Alita Class, Heavy escort Carrier”… Is an extremely durable ship also depending how you kit or modified it out as to its fleet variant… as to its can load out with canons it becomes a fully frontal assault ship. with four fore weapons in which can be out fitted with cannons and torpedoes, and three rear as with turrets… with this in mind though it best to stay a comfortable distance from you target or opponents to minimised the forward shields.. The Alita is basically a Tactical and Engineering ship, of five tactical consoles three engineering and two sciences modifiers and as you install a Fleet variant Engines to weapons warp core your firepower will increase due to plus 15 to weapons and five to engines bonuses..

Given that you install all out beams, two forward torpedoes consoles, it will give you the most coverage of minimizing shield drainage and you can combat in very close range…as you install beams is best to rotate your Alita class around to maximised beam’s arcs to give maximum damage.. and also to give your weapons enough cool down to recharge..

Alita is interesting with a longer engineering hull you might want to shorten the ship length in case you’re running on canons to give the cool down, if given a longer hull beams weapons can provide most of the cover… to take all four sides of the ship…also it’s a carrier in so your shuttles will give you most cover.. In very similar conditions as you run with a saucer separation.. In doing so like having two ships.. With the bridge stations.. It’s all Tactical in Lt, Cmdr., with an Lt.Cmdr Engineering/ Pilot… With this in mind you can full utilized your bridge officer’s abilities in tactical engineering to give you the advantages…

As to if you equip your Alita class with a three piece set the Universal consoles of the Point Defences systems, Torpedo point Defence systems, also the destabilized Tachyon emitters it’ll give you an increase in recharge time also Pilot bridge officers abilities… Increase in accuracy, and critical hit chance… it’s an interesting ship as a training ground for the next one in mind for the Fleet variant once your fleet starbase hits tier five..
