Greetings Captains! To continuously improve your game experience, we would like to know which schematics you would look forward to in the future.

It's the best ship for FBB, and so the ship that impacts game place the most.
It should also be good for PVP.
All other parts of the game, it does not matter too much which ship is used, maybe an extra 150 antimatter for voyages, but other battles are not as important.
Skirmishing can use one of many 5* ships.
Then you could keep the existing ones for new players but also let those of us who've been playing a long time possibly get something we could use.
Are you asking for which schematics we'd like to see as Arena rewards, or which schematics we'd like for ships that aren't in the game yet, or...?
We really need the ships that fill in the more obscure voyage keywords. So that's the Jem'hadar Flagship (so overdue that it's just not funny any more), Hiawatha, Sikarian Vessel and Serene Squall.
But really, what we need is a better way to get ship schematics. There are so many ships now that relying on arena rewards just isn't viable. Voyage beholds are an improvement, but aren't enough by themselves. I second the suggestion of dabo beholds, that'd be a big help.
These posts are a good summary.
I finally finished my Arty, but I know a lot are still working on theirs. The Behold idea {if it is possible for Dabo, which seems doable} helps with the "Yay! I now have 25,000 Schemes for {insert ship name here}" disappointment. And, Voyages that have only one or two Ships with the matching Trait can be frustrating. Schemes to complete a 5 🌟 Ship that has the needed Trait would be nice. Even if that means auditing current Ship Traits or adding new 5 🌟 Ships that have the Traits. A maxed out 4 🌟 Ship with the Voyage Trait will never have more AM than a maxed out 5 🌟 Ship WITHOUT the Voyage Trait.....
EDIT: Just started this Voyage. Default 5 🌟 without Trait was top of list.....
This.
Of course some ships need to be included just because they're awesome, such as the Shrike. But most of the recent ships weren't even that memorable, or just another Voyager version.
Finishing the ones with a trait that comes up in voyages is nice but it’s a small bonus.
So, in short slow down on the new ships and let us finish what we’ve got.
New players would likely welcome a little help in the lower lever ships, even if most of us don't need them. Have a "Ships of 2020" mixed behold or 10x pack for example. Rate them like discount packs, but compared to the normal ship pack rates.
I wouldn't care if they added new ships this way either. There are some things I'd love to see that would be a 1*/2* type ship, that could be interesting for FBB in the lower ranges. Runabouts, Delta Flyer, etc could be a way to add mechanisms to the game. Very fast/Moderate Hull/Lower Attack, but very quick firing rate or something.
The issue is not the number of ships, the number of new ships, the schematics to level each ship.
The real issue for is that there is no mechanism to target which ship schematics I get. The Artifact has been the most important ship in game for over a year, and it is a matter of luck for most players whether or not they have maxed it. There may be a few whales who buy lots of packs every week, but even then it is luck.
Some ships are in the arena, but even then it can take years of playing to get 10/10, especially when you have to be awake in the middle of the night to get maximum rewards every day. I can drop from top 1% to top 10% after going to bed.
We need some kind of schematic shop, there have been several ideas put forwards over the years, but none implemented. Maybe get rid of Trainer Tuesday, and award schematic tokens instead. Players will watch adverts to monetise it, also give us the Enterprise B in that shop as it's Tuesdays.

In a few cases, a specific ship is needed since it is best for a specific situation. But that is very few ships. We need the Artifact, whatever works for you in the arena, and ships for voyages. I suspect that the number needed for voyages is fewer than a dozen. (Someone smarter than me or who cares more can figure it out.)
To just have a pretty ship to fly around you only need to be level 1.
Yes, new ships can be fun. Yes, the economy of ship schematics and ability to get them should be revamped.
But until the myopic Game Makers give us a reason to care, new ships are unnecessary.
The giveaway included the ship being the arena reward for three consecutive months, that's how everyone was able to complete it. That it's been the arena reward twice more after that is a bit messed up.
Actually, now that you remind me, I counted it four times but it was really three months and like a week in 2021 (end of Sept all the way through Dec of the year). So it was only offered one other time, in December of 2022.

This.
I play a game that does that and I hate it. Too easy to have competing projects that way.
