    No. Well, not a Nova anyway.

    Nova is possible honestly. She's small enough to be considered for Scout Ship classification.

    As for the ship... Looks good. Like the fact that its a leveling ship, which opens up options for new characters outside of what is already available.

    I am, however, predicting calls of "NERF THAT INTO THE GROUND" on the console it comes with. Damage reflection is nice, but you KNOW the PvPers are gonna cry when they keep vaping themselves.

    I LOL'ed so hard at the PvPer's vaping themselves part.... :D:D:D

    Would like to see the vapor builds running around in Kerat hit when the console goes off..Will be interesting to see how this ship will do correctly setup going into Kerat against Vaper PvPers..If it brings even a remote chance for new PvPér to enter Kerat..WHY NOT.....

    Would like to see a Norway Class in a TAC+ENG Hybrid config..She is fast agile and a smart ship..Think thats the only ship from canon thats not there in any tier in the game..I'd be one of the first to buy her..

    3 tac console slots is not enough for a raider based science ship, even the Lukari scout ship has 4. I would rather still use my T6 tac vesta or annorax, but even then I'd only use them for their tactical ability on my tac toon, with my sci toon I don't rely on tactical based builds with those same ships. I am just going to use it as a regular science ship on my scis but I may only use it on one character mostly only a few times on others since I think it looks quite ugly, it could probably suit my sci gorn.

    The biggest plus for this ship is, that it is free (unless light grind counts) scaling ship - perfect for new alts, when you do not have Zen (or patience) for switching to better ships.

    Now I just need find why should I create a new toon (21st on my account)...

    Newbie STO Questions #1 and #2

    How "hard" would this to get for a new player with a Lvl 11 Romulan Engineer?

    How long do we have to get this? (If it is not to late, I mean).

    Thanks,

    Thanks,

    Certainly, the event just went live a few days ago and runs until the 21st of February. You can find this information in-game by hitting "J" to bring up the mission journal and clicking the calendar button in the lower left.

    Completing both new episodes (which you can do now) will earn 400 anniversary marks of the 1,000 required. The remaining 600 can be earned through the omega particle scanning daily obtained from Q (just speak to him at any faction hub [New Romulus command center, ESD, or the First City depending on your allegiance.) All you need to do is go to each location specified in the mission log and complete a scanning minigame (you don't have to try, at all). So it's easy. The daily awards 40 marks per completion so it will take 15 days to earn what you need for the ship (if you've played the new episodes, and there's no reason why you wouldn't.)

    You can most definitely earn the ship starting now and have a few days to spare. That said though, if you drop off part-way through there's less cushion from the late start. So all you really need is a minor amount of initiative. ;)

    Okay thanks, the reason for the question was my experience in Champions Online, some of the events if did not get side-kick all you did was die a lot.

    And no that is not a knock of CO, I love that game too.

    Edit:
    Sorry wrong topic

    Anyway, I think that the second episode has rather hard ground battle, so be prepared for it…
    But, as it was mentioned - 15 days are enough, if you will do daily mission everyday, plus do both new episodes.
    Just remember - last day may have a patch, which (for europe at least) will practically remove chance to do daily mission on that day.
    If this will be not enough time, do not resign - if you will still have active project for this ship, next year anniversary you can (unless they change rules) finish this project with the vouchers from next year anniversary (but that propably means doing paralel 2 anniversary ships on 2 different toons).

    Unlike the general federation ships, it doesn't seem the 31st century sees a significant aesthetic change to vulcan ship design.
  • spiritbornspiritborn Member Posts: 4,248 Arc User
    It should be noted that there is a similar looking Vulcan ship in TNG (well it lacks the nose cone but general asthetic isn't that different) in the 2 parter "Unification", so it's not like it's 100% DSC product more like a combination of 2 pre-existing asthetic for vulcan ships.

    The anniversary ship is basically identical to the Discovery ship, and doesn't look much at all like the ship from Unification which was named T'pau, but was actually an apollo class transport.

    I been shooting for getting done by February 11th.....but the in game calendar has been correct in the recent past....compared to the News on the website.

    Someone asked the same question in the Anniversary Event Forum post Kael made....not sure if the question got answered over there.

    One thing I wonder is if it comes with a unique bridge like with its Discovery counterpart.

    I checked on Tribble and it's the generic alien bridge, but the Vorgon ships also had the generic bridge on Tribble, but the Vorgon one on Holodeck.

    I think that they don't make bridges any more, except they are used in a mission. Do we board the T'Pau in the mission? If yes then we could get a bridge.

    That seems to be a fairly inconsistent or at least very recent rule, as 1 year ago, the Son'a ships had a bridge (the Captain chair is very comfy, BTW) despite not been used in a mission. Also, as it's a Federation ship, it should at least have access to the Fed bridges, which it doesn't.

    They make bridges if they have time in the dev schedule. I mean we never visit a Breen bridge, but we have one... Obviously getting used in a mission means they have an additional reason to make a bridge.

    Pretty sure the quote you're thinking of is related to making full interiors.

    None of the allied ships has a bridge though.

    Its a nice little addition and a free T6 sci ship for KDF is great. The only complaint I have is that it is small and darkish colour so when zoomed out in free cam it is hard to see (for me) and vanishes in the light spam when all the space magic goes off.

    I actually like the ship. My AoY sci really likes his. He's using the Quantum Phase ship/weapon set with the DHC instead of array. Then different consoles I thought would be beneficial.

    The ship tears things up when he's flying it. It's not a flying eggshell at all, it does survive very well.

    I took it into (normal) Japori without the shield, accidentally, and while the hull did suffer a lot, it survived. Was doing the heal 150k hull Endeavor and had been going into DSEs w/o shields and forgot to put it back on for Japori. Was hella fun trying to survive, and he did. Thankfully Shon decided to drop in too lol.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Missed opportunity with the S'torr to give it a good bridge, or even to tack on the Fed/KDF bridge choice options(like how the Risian Luxury Cruiser has the choices), and now the T'Pau has the same ****** generic bridge. I had my heart set on the Reclaw bridge for the S'torr being a possible choice, but noooooope. We're not allowed to have nice things anymore. :(

    I got my T'pau 2 days ago.
    I like it! Very nimble, flanking and funny to use with science abilities (i just use gravity well 3 as crowd control, while i rely on weapons as main source of damage....sorry, but i don't enjoy pure sci-exotic damage ships).

    Overall, i like the new scout ships concept idea!
    Only drawbacks abou the T'Pau are:
    1) tiny size...beam arrays look like a wave motion gun from star blazers... B);)
    2) the design may be canon...but it's ugly. Vulcan D'kyr was more elegant and better looking. But these are personal tastes.

    One character needs to do the event dailies to complete the Project for the ship. Once they complete it and claim the ship, it is unlocked for the account, so all you alts have to do is open the Event Store from the Reputation Window, Reclaim tab, and grab their ship!
    Any questions? Feel free to ask!

    As for myself, I kinda like this DSC ship! I have little love for most of the Klingon DSC ships but there are a few I like.
    In other posts I have shared my enthusiasm for a Space Truck, which is what I see when I look at it.

    Here are some youtube vids about the T'Pau:

    What? No interior? That is surprising. They showed the interior in one episode, so they have Canon Visual Reference.
    Also, this this is too small for the other Bridges in game. I'd have to look it up again but the T'Pau is only some 40-something meters long, like 2 Runabouts. It's an in-between ship like the Raven was, too small to be a full capital ship, but was a lot more than a shuttle.
