FED/KDF and JH Vanguard ships...

I cant find 100% info on this -> Can FED/KDF use JH Vanguard ships (from new pack)?
Or FED/KDF can only use traits from JH ships (after JH capt. unlock it)?

    Ships.

    "This ship is for Dominion Captains only initially. It will be outfitted with a Tier 6 Starship Mastery Unlock which enables its use on all other characters on your Account once attained."

    That says "this ship ... enables its use" not its mastery trait.

    they can use the ships... once your JHD has Mastered it, aka Gotten the ship trait. Til then it's locked.

    Probably, since Rommies will be able to. Only for the faction you join though: Fed or KDF, not both.

    Yes they can on Tribble at the moment.

    The reason Jem'Hadar, and by extention Romulans, will have full access to Allied ships is because of the fact that it would be WAY too much work to create a TON of new ships right off the bat to bring the Jem'Hadar in line with what we have available now for the other factions. Specifically referring to the Specialist ships and the non specialist ship packs.

    I mean look at our catalog of specialist ships. Command Cruisers, Miracle Worker cruisers, Pilot Escorts, Intel ships, Temporal ships...

    Making Jem'Hadar variants of those alone made it impossible. Now throw in Jem'Hadar equivelents to ships like the T6 Vesta, T6 Defiant, T6 Avenger, T6 Galaxy... its a snowball effect.

    Literally impossible to catch up. So the best option was to open access to almost the full roster of Allied ships to make up for the lack of Dominion equivelents. While I still disagree on the FULL access for Romulans, as that means doubling up on ships that give the same trait like the T6 Avenger and T6 Mogai, it does mean easier access to some of the more desirable traits like Reciprocity from the Phantom for Fed-Romulans, and better access to Engie and Sci Admiralty cards as well.

    I could actually see a Jem'hadar Vanguard Multimission Science (or scout) ship being added, I'm pretty sure that a Vanguard Battlecruiser is coming so, a JV Multimission Science Ship would give 3 complete T6 bundles for the Expansion, 1 containing the 3 Cardassian Intel ships, 1 Containing the JV Raider, JV Dreadnought Cruiser, and JV Warship, and the Last bundle containing JV Carrier, JV Battlecruiser, and JV Multimission Science Ship.

    You account is locked out of this ship, until this specific ship reaches its Tier 6 Starship Mastery, then all characters in your account can use this specific ship.

    Imagine buying a 9-ship-pack all with Tier 6 Starship Mastery?
    You would be forced to play ships that might not like, just to achieve this Tier 6 Starship Mastery account unlock.

    I'm personally against this; I'm not buying this Jem'Hadar pack specific for this reason alone.

    (AND Cryptic may get greedy--imagine all other Tier 6 ships going forward have a Tier 6 Starship Mastery before account unlock?)
    Ships.

    "This ship is for Dominion Captains only initially. It will be outfitted with a Tier 6 Starship Mastery Unlock which enables its use on all other characters on your Account once attained."

    That says "this ship ... enables its use" not its mastery trait.

    "greedy"? How does that count as greed?

    Sounds more like player laziness than developer greed.

    Can't say I'm happy about being forced to play as JH to unlock the ships for my account, but I guess they had to make the JH worth something.

    Read the new Stats Blog. Once Tier 6 Mastery is achieved, the Mastered Ship can be claimed by any other Character on the Account.

    Vanguard Consoles can only be used on Vanguard Ships, Cardassian Consoles on ANY ship.

    There is no indication about the Spiral Wave Disruptor unlock in the Dilitium Store.

    Borticus just confirmed that there are Set Bonuses for the Vanguard and Cardassian Consoles and will be added to the Stat Blog.

    With the new Frigates the JHAS unlock may be a moot point.

    I heard from somewhere that the Spiral Wave Disruptors will be unlocked form the Dilithium store if you own any of the Cardassian ships (although if you own the T5 Galor from the GVG pack you might be better off just pulling them off the Galor and onto the ship you want).
  • rattler2rattler2 Member Posts: 57,971 Community Moderator
    I think it was implied during the livestream that spiral waves will be unlocked. And not just beam arrays, but the full catalog.

    This would be epic.
    I also like that all of these ships appear to be already fleet level, instead of having separate fleet ship purchases.

    I had said that they would probably be unlocked with these new Cardassian ships when they were first announced over a month ago. The point I was making above was that they didn't explicitly say so in the Blog.

    Down side of that, no Admirality Card for a fleet version.

    There are a lot of fleet grade c-store ships, like the Command Battlecruisers for example.

    Good point. I've even got many of them. I was just remembering how many of the Temporal pack ships (the 26th century ones) were base Tier 6, with fleet versions available.
    At any rate, I'm looking forward to the 5th.
