Generalizing a generation is the most ignorant thing anyone could do.
I don't care much for Discovery, especially the redesign of the Klingons and the look of their new ships. However, I do fancy the Klingon uniforms in the show: They'd look great on my Kar'fi captain.
Was kinda sad to see that they weren't in the Lobi store, but maybe they'll be added to the Zen Store?
"Up until now"? As you said, it predates any other Klingon ship in the game.
I guess I should clarify this some.
If Klingon corpses are so good at stopping starship weapons, why are we not seeing more widespread use of "body armor"? Why is it only one ship takes advantage of these "shells"? Also, if Klingon bodies can stop starship weapon's fire, how can side arms harm them? Wouldn't you need some sort of Boolean cannon thing just to slow them down?
The only thing on TRIBBLE that is on nodding terms is the name in the title and the door mechanisms. This botty-water should not even exist, not even in this game. But since they are going to command ridiculous prices on the exchange which will put it out of reach of the kiddies, it will make the millenials cry even more. So that makes me smile
Oh look, another one of these Trek weirdo's that thinks he gets to decide what is or isn't Star Trek, and then gets all worked up about it.
Get a life, f*#k off mate.

So is trying to pass off TRIBBLE as canon Trek.
Yet, it is canon Trek, and many people enjoy it.

Look, you all can discuss and debate the merits of Star Trek: Discovery all you want, but civil discourse is the key. Personal attacks and insults, and offensive language, including manipulation of characters to circumvent the forum profantiy filter, will not be tolerated.

I don't care for Discovery at all. However it's new Star Trek, so some people will hang onto it like it's their first born child. As for my stance, it's just something I won't watch or discuss at length. Like it or not, it exists and if CBS and Cryptic decide more of it should be in STO then that's what will happen.
Of course its canon. Because CBS says so. But the real star trek fans, think the opposite.
So because my vast knowledge and understanding of Star Trek content and themes (which I have put into practice for any to see) doesn't reject Discovery (and indeed embraces it as a powerful iteration of the format) I'm somehow not a real fan? This is a pretty egregious logical fallacy (the "if you don't agree with me you don't count" school of enumeration) and I'll point to Badmoon's post just north of this one (page 2) that attacks on your fellow community members are no way to hold a civil discussion (or for your point to have any appearance of having merit, as the logical fallacy employed overshadows whatever legitimate emotional reactions you may have had to DSC. Focus on those, speaking from your own point of view, rather than making sweeping claims that you have no way of supporting besides "because I say so.")

Of course its canon. Because CBS says so. But the real star trek fans, think the opposite. And they are the only ones who actually have the knowledge and experience to actually understand why a show isnt about star trek. And Discover isnt about star trek, not in a million years. There are so many off things that is ridiculous even to think on it. CBS can say whatever they want lol, but people who actually like star trek will never even consider TRIBBLE as part of the franchise. The franchise, sadly ended with Enterprise and the movie Nemesis. Unfortunately. Everything that came after... just garbaje. As much canon as CBS want to be.
I am a ToS fan since ToS was all there was too. I haven't seen Discovery because I don't have CBS All Access. So I can't comment on it. I have noticed there are those who love it, like it and hate it. Just like every other show in the franchise. Which tells me it probably isn't as bad as some make it out to be.
One day I'll find a way to watch it and judge for myself.
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.
Every so often, someone wonders 'why don't you put these ships in the store, so folks can buy them outright?' One possible answer is because there's more money to made by leaving people no options other than to either partake in what can be argued to be gambling, or just being very patient and saving up resources ingame. It occurs to me that there might be a compromise approach, as exhibited by how boxes are implemented in Path of Exile. Specifically, two behaviors on display in this forum thread:
the odds of getting an item of a given rarity are clearly disclosed (presumably, once rarity is 'rolled', you're equally likely to get any of the items of that rarity) - I can think of no good excuse for such disclosures not being a norm; and
some time after the box leaves the market, its contents drop into the store and can be purchased directly.

It's on Netflix if you can do Netflix. Or at least it was last time I bothered with netflix a few months back, it was UK Netflix though.
Hell yeah. I don't care that much for the show, but those klingon ships rock the hell out of most of those disgustingly ugly old models. I wonder when we'll get the actual new klingon ground appearance options as well.
The Sarcophagus predates all other Klingon ships in the game. What are you talking about?
Enterprise predates Discovery, but the ships do not...the Sarcophagus ship is supposed to be a very, very ancient ship...possibly not even Klingon at all.
Now, it all depends on what they meant by "ancient" when they decribed the ship as ancient in the show. But it is quite obvious that you don't call something ancient that is maybe 120 years old, but rather something that is 1000 years old?

PWE/Cryptic makes a lot of money from Infinity Lock Box and Infinity R&D Pack sales, so it's never going to happen.
Lock boxes and R&D packs pay for LeVar Burton, new story episodes, and free event ships. F2P MMO players have mostly rejected buying monthly subs and content packs, so this is necessary.

It probably isn't that great. Which is why later ships didn't use it. With a ship design as old as that, though, you probably need every edge you can get, up to and including using the bodies of the dead as low-grade ablative armor. (It's similar to the "hillbilly armor" US Army soldiers put on HMMWVs in the opening months of the Iraq conflict, before up-armored models became available. When you don't have armor that's effective against enemy weapons, you add whatever you have that can help, even empty water cans.)

That is pretty cool and I would play more often if it happens.

No True Scotsman would disagree with you!
TOS is the only real Trek!
