Huntmaster Dreadnought

lianthelialianthelia Member Posts: 7,825 Arc User
I don't quite know why, but I could really go for one some day. 5/3 with some with a hangar of seeker frigate pets! T6 Versions of the Hirogen ships as well!

Same with the Voth ships, like to see all three of them get T6 some day too.

    if they ever do another hirogen lockbox, or just do a T6 version of the hunter and apex for the infinibox, they'll probably do the huntmaster then...of course, it'll be an R&D promo ship, like every other enemy dreadnought lately has been​​

    I figured as much, I guess maybe I just want a little break from nothing but non-stop Discovery ships.

    Well, we just recently got a Tier 6 Upgrade to the Tholian ships. But Discovery really introduced a lot of new ships to canon.

    You have to remember that there's many other Trek shows which happen to still have ships which haven't been added to the game, they are saying that they want something from another show now for a change since we've only been getting the discovery flavor of ships for a while now. They never said anything about what is canon or not.

    Added to Canon? Yes. Accepted by some... debateable.
    But that is not a debate for the forums. Always turn ugly.

    Canon does not require their acceptance. Happily as with every other new incarnation of Trek the refuse to accept group is small and shrinking.

    Agreed. The only authority on what is Canon, is the IP holder.
    For example, Stargate Infinity, a short lived cartoon, is not considered Canon by the IP Holders. The only thing it got right though was predict that the Goa'uld would be defeated.

    Another is apparently the cartoon Battletech. Which in a creative twist made semi canon in its existance alone as an in universe cartoon or something along those lines. So the show exists, but as kind of a joke in universe.
    The animated series as such is not considered Canon for the BattleTech universe. Instead, the show canonically exists in-universe as a work of fiction: It has been referred to in-universe as a "popular but poorly reviewed holovid series" by Tharkad Broadcast Company, said to be loosely based on the exploits of the "real" 1st Somerset Strikers; it was even known among Clan sibkos on the Clan Homeworlds by the 3070s through Solaris broadcasts. The overall storyline and characters have thus been canonized at least in broad strokes.

    Unfortunately the Hirogen lockbox was the worst selling lock box of them all. The best you can hope for is maybe the Huntmaster being used as a winter or summer ship, maybe a fall ship if they get that new event up and running next year.

    The Voth box was also on the low popularity side, but it still did fairly well, along with the undine. If they do make T6 hirogen ships, they'll be the very last ships to get a T6 update, and they'll be in the infinity box. If anything though, I think its more likely they'll just forget about those ships entirely. The Voth ships are much more likely to get T6 versions, though I don't know about the Dreadnought, they might avoid that after the controversy around it.

    Someone was simply asking for non-discovery ships for a change and you know that there is still a number of ships from the many other Trek shows which haven't been added to the game yet or at least not at T6. So how did the conversation turn into a debate about what people accept as canon?

    Indeed no one was questioning Discovery's canon status on this thread until Rattler added it to the discussion, not every request for non-discovery content has to be a discussion about the series canon status. Maybe people just want something different without actually hating DSC or maybe their favorite ship that hasn't had T6 treatment is from the earlier series.


    Regardless Discovery's canon status is irrelevant for this discussion as it's about VOY ships.
  • seaofsorrowsseaofsorrows Member Posts: 10,918 Arc User
    There is plenty of room in this game for ships of every genre.

    Personally, I love Discovery.. but I also want to see some Romulan ships from the current time. What people do or don't consider canon really has no bearing on the discussion, ships should continue to be various and cover every Trek show so that everyone can get what they want.

    There is no downside in creating variety in available ships.

    Technically it's about STO ships. The Huntmaster is a STO original.​​

    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.

    Yes. But it's not surprising that currently introduced canon ships have priority over Cryptic originals.
    Though as much as I like to see all the canon ships in the game, even more do I like the ability to kitbash them. ;)

    technically yes I suppose but Hirogen ship design "theme" is from VOY, so my point of discovery's canon status being irrelevant stands.

    I know, I'm not saying "OMG make Discovery stop!" I just want to see some other ships....would be nice to see some new Romulan and Dominion ships especially. (Still waiting for the Vet ship :p )

    Also guess I'm sorta bummed as it seems like they update old T5 to T6 only once or twice a year. There aren't a whole lot left but could be waiting a few more years to see the Voth and Hirogen ships updated.

    Wasn't the Escort one of the better ones in the game, least for a short run? The BC on the other hand was just a complete whale like the Bortasqu'.

    The Voth ships were nice, problem was with the FDC...the Voth pets were at the time the worst pet in the game.

    I guess I'm just hoping that the Huntmaster is to the Apex as what the Bulwark was to the Bastion, a obvious improvement.

    The escort was actually pretty good, but still the hirogen overall were just insanely unpopular. I think everyone likes them alright, but they're like the breen, they don't have the pull to sell a lockbox.

    If they did release the Huntmaster, it'd probably be a carrier or something like that, though I'm sure it would be superior to the apex.
