  • So, I'm having issues with my Tribble fleet's tailor. Whenever I approach the tailor, they say that they cannot offer me any services because the fleet "needs to progress further within the colony tiers," or something to that effect. This is despite the fact that our colony is fully upgraded. Is the tailor not yet…
  • Eh, I feel Intelligence and Command make sense for the Sovereign. Pilot would've been cool as well, but if any cruiser was and still is deserving of a Pilot seat it's the Resolute class. For starters, the Excelsior cruiser and its variants are amongst the smallest Starfleet cruisers in the game. Hell, the pilot escorts…
  • Just a heads-up, the Fleet Intel Assault Cruiser is currently not available. As of right now only the Fleet Command Assault Cruiser can actually be purchased. Hopefully this gets resolved soon!
  • The cross-promotion can be seen as a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. On one hand, it is nice to see Star Trek businesses supporting each other, as you said. On the other hand it's just another hoop for people to jump through to collect stuff, and possibly an extension of the dreaded "exclusivity" thing.…
  • That seems like a very dark prediction to make, don't ya think? Cryptic makes a lot of money from the C-Store, and so not supporting it in favor of these promotional and lock box ships would be gutting a large portion of their income. At most, we'll just end up with no more Romulan/KDF C-Store ships, seeing as we've gone…
  • This is a humorous/conspiracy theorist take on it all, but it's like Cryptic shut down all those datamining websites so that they could be the ones that leaked all their stuff. Cutting out the middle man, as it were. It's already happened twice now with this T6 Sovereign, once when the ship was accidentally released on the…
  • I feel like it would need to be, no? Why would they do a promo like this for a ship that only one of your characters could use? It'll most likely be similar to what they did with the Mirror Universe Guardian Cruiser for the Chase Masterson charity event, i.e. it will be under the "Promotions" tab in the C-Store as an…
  • I'd be SEVERELY disappointed if a T6 Vor'cha wasn't released alongside this T6 Sovereign. Both ships are practically mirrors of each other, with only two BOff stations switched. It's seriously the perfect opportunity for them to release a T6 Vor'cha, but then again it was also the perfect opportunity to release a T6 Vo'quv…
  • Well, it seems they've taken down the page for the ship. Maybe it wasn't supposed to come out 'til tomorrow? Or next week possibly, since the 22nd is the 20th anniversary of Star Trek: First Contact? Interestingly, the announcement on STO's official Twitter is still up, with a link that now leads to nowhere...
  • So where does one go to actually buy this Attack Wing ship? I'm trying to google it but its not popping up anywhere, and the link in the article doesn't take you to an actual purchasing page...
  • Any news on this yet? This seems really strange for it to be intentional...
  • Any news on whether this is intentional or not?
  • Bump, so that this can be seen easier here!
  • I guess not. They just posted the patch notes for tomorrow's update and there's no mention of the ship being missing, not even in the "known issues" section. Might have to wait another week before it's fixed...
  • Holy Bajesus!!! I was interested in the MACO uniform until I saw that price. 2 million Dilithium is about $50 worth if you go by the Dilithium Exchange. Considering the uniform isn't even an account unlock, its utterly not worth it at that price. Seriously though, I hope this is some horribly delayed April Fool's joke, or…
  • That is a possibility, though from what I've heard this "gilded Nagus" can also use other Ferengi hull materials in addition to the gold. Seems odd to me to have an entirely separate ship if the only difference between the two would be access to a single hull material. Your prediction may be correct though; only time will…
  • Those specific promos are designed to entice players that haven't logged in to STO for a while to come back. I would guess your friend and his brother had not been playing too often and so they received those as a sort of "lure" to play more. For this Nagus Marauder though? Nobody knows what the criteria are. It sucks even…
  • Honestly nobody knows what exactly the criteria are for this promo, and that's part of the problem. If you just read a few posts here or on the STO Reddit page, you'll find that people have reported wildly varying amounts of game-time played, durations of active subscriptions/LTS statuses, and amount of real-world money…
  • That they do! The new bridge for 26th century ships is called the Universe bridge. I haven't been able to actually check it out (at work right now), but I saw it when I was mucking around a few minutes before I left this morning. I don't know if the 31st century ships have a unique bridge but, considering that all the new…
  • I'm drooling over this pack! Even though I really only want the BoP and the Vengeance from it, it's looking like the best lock box yet! The addition of having the consoles and starship traits from the other ships being made available to the other factions is a really nice change, and I wonder if it will be done on other…
  • Oi, you're the second person to not understand what I was trying to say in my post. I have edited it for further clarity. Ummm, you know that's exactly what they did when they launched Legacy of Romulus, right? Most of the Romulan ships were created from scratch by Cryptic's art & design teams. Doing the same for a…
  • I feel like this T6 Temporal Multi-Mission Science Vessel is a T6 spiritual successor to both the Vesta and the Wells. It's becoming increasingly more unlikely we'll get a T6 Vesta due to licensing concerns, and if Cryptic were to release a T6 Wells people (including me) would lose their minds (and not in a good way!). I…
  • Yes, but "unique" doesn't mean ugly. The Na'kuhl ships are certainly very unique, but they look good too. This ship is just really odd-looking and unflattering in many ways. I'd like it more if the "wheel" section was rotated so that it was parallel with the rest of the ship's frame. Then it would have a proper saucer…
  • The Connie seen in the teaser trailer is just a visual revamp of the Connie we have, like what they did with the Intrepid, Galaxy, Defiant, Akira, etc. If you look at the preview for the new mega bundle that comes with this expansion you'll see that the Connie there is T1 just like the one we have now, just with a visual…
  • Your point? That "new episode arc for players of every faction" could literally be anything, including more TOS stuff. It may very well continue the Temporal Cold War arc, but we don't know because Cryptic did little more than mention that in a little blurb in a sea of a lot of other info. If the new arc does continue the…
  • You. I like you! I'm kinda hoping this is a joke as well, to be honest. It seems too ludicrous to be true.
  • That's a very subjective statement, and one that I find to be woefully inaccurate. TNG, Voyager, and DS9 contributed a lot more to the Star Trek universe than the three seasons of TOS ever did. Yeah, TOS started the franchise, but to me TOS' metaphorical "children" surpassed it in more ways than one. Besides, STO is set in…
  • I didn't really expect the 5/5 announcement to be a TOS-themed expansion, though. I thought it was a teaser for a new episode or series of episodes based on TOS. I know I worded it weird, but in my mind 5/5 wasn't an expansion announcement. I mean I was excited for the announcement because I thought "Yay more time…
  • I doubt your claims, OP. I figured we'd be getting a couple of episodes based on TOS, but a whole freaking expansion with ships and everything is a little over-the-top. Let's not forget that STO is set in the 25th century, not the 23rd. Making an entire expansion that basically sets the game back 100+ years, literally, is…
  • Me no likey. I would've been super-pumped for a couple of TOS-themed missions like what we saw in the "Spectres" story arc, but making a whole expansion out of it is, as others here have said, rather extreme. Let's not forget that STO is set in the 25th century. We should be seeing what the galaxy is like now, not what it…
