New Narcine Dreadnought Carrier First Impressions

Just read the blog on the new Xindi lock box. Dang! As a carrier fanatic, I freakin' love the sleek look of the new Xindi carrier. I'm excited to see its stats and what it's Frigate pets can do. Will I be forced by its beauty to get keys to open boxes? Ahhhhhh!!!
But on an unrelated note: Aceton Assimilators for everyone = facepalm

    no no no, it's FU RR! :P

    Yeah, that's right... Sabotage Probes can now be used by Feds/KDF.

    (EPM is actually very useful with sci heavy builds)

    I would LOVE to see a 1v1 PvP between the Xindi Dreadnought Carrier and the Jem'Hadar Dread carrier.... They are very similar ships

    Cept the Xindi ship actually has a chance to use DHC's with some efficiency and it has access to Frigates without needing one of those most expensive ships in the game.

    Depends on many factors...but I imagine the Xindi ship would win without a good player in the JHDC and equipped with some JHAS pets...

    When someone get this ship, or if you already have it, please post the stats for the frigates if you can. They're not in the blog. It does say: multiple beam arrays, quantum torp, quantum mine, and dispersal pattern alpha but that's it.

    I imagine if you're part of a fleet you could probably look up the stats to the Elite ones in the store...

    I was counting on the leaked info that this was the lobi store ship. Now I have the sad.

    Estimates on price? 300 mil, 500mil?

    Well that's better than I thought. Maybe it'll go down towards 150.

    It still would be a good fight and why would you put DHCs on a carrier anyways? It doesn't turn well enough.

    On another note, anyone else think the Xindi Escort could be the new bug ship? 5 tac consoles with 5 fore weapons and it turns almost as well as a fleet T'varo. Sad that it doesn't have cloak.

    Well, since i posted last it's down to 240, and the Nicor went down to 120, the chances are good! :cool:

    Because a turn rate of 9 is Battlecruiser turning range + A2B and you've got yourself some decent turning.

    Why would a Xindi ship have cloak? Suliban were the only others I really remember having any kind of cloak...

    I never implied that Xindi WOULD have cloak I just wish it did. Also, how nice do you think the mk XII reman set would look on the xindi carrier?

    I don't know, personally I never liked how bright the Reman set looks :P

    I much prefer the similar, darker Reman skin that can be put on Romulan ships.

    There are no frigate pets for the carrier other than the standard rare types that come with the ship. No dil store or fleet version.

    They obviously couldn't be arsed including two extra variants of the same pet with upgraded abilities, which should have been simplicity to produce. What a joke.

    How many people do they have working on STO these days? 5?

    Do these ships actually have custom bridges? The Xindi ships are both very different, Wondering if they actually bothered to make a unique one for each ship.

    I was hoping the same. I had my lobi ready... Sad day.
    Anyway, finger crossed for 150m. Since I'm not able to drop a single [REDACTED]ship from those [REDACTED]gamblebox. I swear, I opened about 300 boxes since they were first released (don't worry, no RL money involved, I would be broke), and nothing of value.

    It's a very beautiful ship, and pretty awesome stats. So yeah, I want it.

    After messing with the thing on Tribble I can tell you dual cannons likely won't cut it on this one without some serious tactics. It turns great, but it's GIGANTIC, which means it can't dogfight due to the nose being unable to get aligned. DBBs and single cannons will work, as will torps, but dual cannons won't be easy.

    The frigates have 2 beams, a DBB a quantum torp, and a quantum mine.

    Sounds like a call for the new wide-angle dual cannons?

    i just wish it wasnt so expensive... all the low pricing ones sell withing minutes, all thats left are 300mil +'s XD i got like 230 mil ready to buy it, and just my luck i still cant afford it. oh well, maybe in a week when prices drop.

    I really want the ship. might even eb tempted to deck it out in phased biomatters.

    I read on another thread that the upgraded pets will be coming out later.

    Very Rare will have 2 Biomatter Phasers, 1 Biomatter Phaser Dual Beam Banks, 1 Quantum Torpedo, 1 Quantum Mine Launcher, Dispersal Pattern Alpha II, Casade what ever its called II (like the carrier console power, but no chaining).

    Ultra Rare will be the same but with Pattern Alpha III and Casade III.

    That will be an insane amount of Quantum mines ;p.

    Hmmm. Looks like my only chance to get one will be to use my 30 something million ec to get some keys and hope one pops out of a box...At the current exchange rate, should be able to get about 4 keys....I kid..I kid.

    be interesting to see how they would adapt the carrier especially for bipedal use as opposed to seeing my captain and boffs trying to pilot the vessel in scuba gear :D

    I know they drain the water tanks and give everyone a big stick to poke out of reach buttons. :P
