Star Trek: Armada III begins with the first stirrings of the Dominion War and allows players to take command of five unique factions, the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union/Dominion Alliance, and the Borg Collective. Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before.
kitbash galore! All variations of the excelsior and the miranda are being pushed out, starting with the ones that are currently in CTA. Here you have the new Curry model people! Next up Centaur, coming up soon, Saratoga, Soyuz, Lantree and Bradford!
Looking at the description I know all but 'Bradford' ?????
I have a feeling Bradford might be Bradbury or Bozeman.
The Bozeman was a Soyuz class, but I think Max did mean Bradbury.
I'm sure he'll pipe in if he's actually doing a completely new ship, though.
I too am not sure what the Bradbury class is. I THINK (and I could easily be wrong), that it's a Miranda variant that placed the nacelles above the primary hull, rather than below.
Not sure where I remember that from, but that's what rings a bell for me.
Don't quote me on it, but I think the variant with the nacelles above the primary hull was the original USS Reliant proposal.

I can tell you that's not it :) try ex-astris then articles and from there ds9 kitbashes

Don't hotlink from EAS lol
Yes, it would appear that they don't like it.
I would leave a wall of text dedicated to how wonderful it is to get more Mirandas to blo-... I mean send out on important missions.
Luckily there is always that one youtube video everyone knows and loves... Youtube really makes this a lot easier, doesn't it? :P
Holy bunnies.
I hope to see the luna class added
I hope they add the Constitution class! And the refit!
;)
I half thought it would show up in the Fed-Klingon call-in "venerable fleet". I wouldn't put it past the devs to secretly throw it in there at one point.
I was joking. It's not going to happen. :D
They also said that they weren't going to add any new ships after 1.2
I know they've been adamant about the Constitution not being in the game, and, frankly, I agree it shouldn't be (canonically inconsistent and such). But with the new "mothball fleet" being a thing, I'm not sure even the devs themselves can resist throwing her in there... just a theory anyways..
That's Max. I don't know him well but he strikes me as having a 'creative mind'. He loves creating things and when he gets going he's liable to keep going.
That said, the devs meant it when they said no new ships. The ship lists of all factions are complete. The 'new ships' being showed off have mostly been for the Wolf 359 fleet, though I have yet to be told what these Miranda variants will play. As you say, they'll likely be part of the so-called 'mothball fleet', so warp-in support - not buildable.
There were only ever a dozen or so Constitution class ships, and they were decommissioned entirely 80 years before the events of the Dominion War. Most would have been scrapped, with one or two kept for historical reasons.
The Luna is too late in the canon.
So yeah, it's not going to happen, for either ship.
> I know they've been adamant about the Constitution
The prodding will not stop, however... :p
What can I say, I'm a fan. Max's models are just so on point that he'd really be able to do her justice.
Anyways, I'm sure we'll get her in Axanar : SO. Just have to wait for it.
Hey guys was looking up the Bradford variant of the Miranda and I found this about half way down the page. Memory-alpha.wikia.com
Although there is no 'Bradford' Variant there was a ship called the USS Bradford, was a cargo variant. Looks like someone stuck two of the brown fuel tanks tp get the space shuttle into orbit. With the nusselles above the main hull.hope this helps
