Need a new Age of Discovery ship

mustrumridcully0mustrumridcully0 Member Posts: 12,963 Arc User
I am bored with my Europa/Nimitz on my AoD character, and I don't want a non-AoD ship. And I already have the Crossfield and Walker Class on different characters, and am not willing to buy the same Lockbox/Lobi ship twice.

So, new month, new ship perhaps?

    Well the Binary Stars TFO is out this month so i recon they might drop a pack of DSC ships just before Black Friday or similar time that matches up with the ships seen in that battle on screen.

    Hmm, might make sense. Preferably this time paired with a Klingon AoD ship. It would be a shame if all those new Klingon ship models would remain unused. (But hopefully it would be one of the cool ones. The BoP and the Cleave ship can wait for much later.)

    Would be nice Disco toon is almost to the T6 ship stage and not a fan of the Eurapa and cant afford a crossfield... Would love to get a Shepard-Class, Hoover-Class and Cardenas-class ship for that toon.

    Agreed. I am really longing for an AoD endgame ship, which is the only thing missing from my collection, I feel, and the Europa class is just not the kind of ship I have in mind, aethetically.

    Yeah - exactly what was saying. The Europa is (at the time of this post) the only non-lobi, non-lock box, T6 DSC era ship in the C-store.

    Again, they pretty much HAVE to release some more DSC era ships, otherwise players will begin to lose interest in their AoD characters.

    (would still rather have a T6 Nova though ;) )
    I would accept that as a compromise, but it wouldn't be for my AoD character. ;)

    What would be fun if the Tier 6 Retrofit of the Nova would somehow be based on a Discovery ship, but I am afraid none of the ships we've seen match the Nova sufficiently.

    The only one I want is the Cardenas Class. It's one of the best looking ships in all of Trek.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Cleave is the best one IMO. :p

    Looks like no new ship this week.

    Maybe it's better that way. I'd need to charge up Zen, and there isn't a sale yet. (Probably Black Friday again?)

    I'm excited for Shepard class myself... That's my fav Disco ship other than the Walker.

    The Shepard, like the Crossfield, suffers from stretched nacelles. The Cardenas' nacelles are perfectly in proportion.​​

    Oddly though, considering the fact that the Shepard class is basically an upside-down Walker class, it doesn't share quite the same nacelles as the Walker.

    It has the spine bit but the saucer is a different shape, different pylons, different shuttlebay section, and different nacelles. It's based on a concept art for the Walker then modelled from scratch rather than being kitbashed from the Walker model.

    On this weeks podcast Al Rivera said that they have almost finished models for all of the Discovery federation ships and half the Klingon ships!! so that sounds like they will be trickling them out with each Age of Discovery update! and it would not surprise me if we get a few none fed/klingon ships like say a Vulcan ship! sounds like Cryptic and CBS are going all out for Discovery and up coming trek show seems CBS want releases to be done fast to go along side the shows.

    Its a good listen you his voice when talking about plans and working closer with CBS well he had an urgency tone to his voice when talking about things lol
