Yeah it's overshadowed by the Lexington so hard it's not even funny.

It's not a bad ship - it's just boring

I'm not demanding they make it 5/3 - just... unique in some way

Some unique seating - some unique typing - some clever turn rate or console slot modification

Like something that makes it stand out :P

The problem is honestly 5/3 would make it stand out. Every single version of the Sovereign in STO is a 4/4 cruiser while you have 5/3 Galaxy classes which is kind of funny when you remember the entire point of the Sovereign class was as a more combat oriented starship.

The entire point of the Sovereign was to give the TNG movies their version of the Connie refit, tbh. A lot of fanon was brought in to fill blanks that doesn't really mesh with how even in the heavily action oriented TNG movies its official missions were mainly diplomacy (and thankfully people told Ron Moore that his idea for the borg fight in FC was stupid)
