    Son'a Command Science Vessel [T6] & Son'a Intel Battlecruiser [T6]...you couldn't come up with actual class names for the ships?

    also, is it just me or does Repair Crews seem like a direct copy of Neutral Zone?​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    #LegalizeAwoo

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.

    But subspace weapons are banned under the second Khitomer Accord! Of course, so are Thalaron weapons...

    (I'm not actually upset)

    Woah! I was expecting this to come AFTER the Tzenkethi one.

    Been wanting these ships for a lo-ong time; here's hoping the battleship(or battlecruiser as you call it) stats are flexible enough for me to be able to work with.

    Also pleased to see we're getting plasma - instead of antiproton or phasers. Plasma and tetryon are kind of hurting for more variety, relatively speaking.

    I'm kinda digging the Son'a uniforms.
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    not quite a direct copy but they are pretty much the same thing. I'm guessing this lockbox is pretty much filler.


    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    Doesn't Neutral Zone give a damage bonus over time as opposed to a damage resistance bonus?

    I really dig those ships, I may try to get the Intel Battlecruiser for the trait and look.
    The weapons look so not menacing though, but I wouldn't mind seeing water-spraying versions for the next Risa event.

    Except the uniform, drones and ships are from Insurrection. So if someone is to be blamed for the design, it's the responsibles for this abomination of a movie.

    Let me guess. Each Ba'ku cadre has a tiny chance of rewarding a Son'a collector ship. And as usual this one will be the best of the three.

    Without actually telling them what you find boring or interesting to put into the boxes, your post isn't really saying much. :(

    I'll admit given our current overall story arc I was expecting Tzenkethi ships as well. However, the INTEL Battlecruiser definitely interests me. Looking forward to the stats :) .

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    Hmm, is it just me or does the Command Science ship kinda have a Kessok feel to it?

    yep; same general silhouette

    (couldn't find a better angle of either ship, but if you squint hard enough, you can see the similarities)
