What I found most curious, is that CBS apparently has no issues with players flying around in ships that are 400 years more advanced than they should be (25th Century vs 29th Century tech), but they seem adamant to keep players from flying a Tier 5 Constitution Refit. In my mind, the whole notion of the "tier system" is flawed from the get-go, and should be abolished, but that's a different topic entirely.
I'd love to fly the Wells Class (BOff layout), but i'd like to use a more conventional "costume" on it, such as the Intrepid Class. A Science ship with a Lt Commander Tactical? Hell yeah... On the Wells Class? HELL NO!!!
EDIT: And yes, clearly Cryptic doesn't have much Trek imagination of their own, when they feel the need to resort to a "Trek parody" for ideas. They even mentioned a Beryllium core in the blog, and the 13 seconds is clearly a ripoff on the Omega 13 device.
