  • With the staff considering a smaller, derived design of the Picard Borg Star, that would be one with distinct facing. Heck, with their previous assimilated ship console, it could have a console power that lets it assimilate multiple ships for a set period of time. Throw in the Borg Queen Outfit for all characters and…
  • They don't care; they're going down the line and adding ships that are no longer popular (or never were popular) as well as some "want" or "must have" ships (for the ship itself or their traits). Besides, even if one flops, they have plenty of other bundles available. This recent shift to adding highly demanded ships like…
  • There are 5 Discovery-era S31 Ships + Drone Ship. * Shiva-class * Hou Yi-class * Deimos-class * Nimrod-class (Humorously, the Eaglemoss site hasn't properly updated their images; it's only the last 5 images that are of the Nimrod; the rest were copied from the Shiva) * Stealth Ship Of those, 4 of them share the exact same…
  • Just to add here, the Quantum Phase Beam Array is a blue beam, and its 3-pc bonus (console and Quantum Phase Torpedo) is a blue/white phaser lance. They're obtainable from one of the former featured episodes, and the console provides a modest damage boost to Phaser damage, and can be mounted on non-Tac slots.
  • It would be slightly ironic and humorous if some of that Synergy means more in-game story tie-ins, like they did with Discovery, considering the Devs mentioned there weren't plans for more tie in so soon. That being said, I suspect it'd be synergy in the most common forms; new lockbox/lobi/Promo/Event ships and equipment…
  • Courtesy of Reddit; they labeled some of the ships seen in the Twitter teaser. Spoiler'd for space, rather than for spoilers, since the original image is floating about on the internet already.
  • If there are no notable changes, it means that Embracer and Gearbox is content with how things are going, and acquired PWE NA and Cryptic more for IP deals/licensing. As it is currently, there are no announced changes to staffing, which sometimes happen when game companies change hands. Everyone who was already involved…
  • Kind of a shame that the new Alliance Carrier doesn't have Multi-Vector or Saucer Sep; the design practically screams it, as one Redditor has pointed out.
  • It was too large for the game. 10km in length going by the model they were given by the Disco CG team. ESD is scaled for 5km in length. So the Styx was created as an acceptable middle-ground. Viridian is the largest/longest ship in-game according to a recent 10 Forward, beating out even the lumbering Universe-class, of…
  • To be fair though (and I do play NGS), NGS is lacking on content because they chose to reset and restart. Since it went live, NGS only just got their first major update/expansion this week. Prior, it became a boring grind with minimal variety given how new it was and the lack of new equipment after min-maxing. Thing is, it…
  • I'm not surprised. Now if only the Odyssey-class and some other 2410s ship variants are canonized into TV canon; preferably via Picard and Disco flashbacks, that'd be perfect.
  • So how long until we get cameo appearances from Borderlands? Like Torgue demanding that more kinetic weapons be sold to players because he doesn't believe in energy-based weapons? Collaborations/Crossovers are becoming popular amongst game studios under the same umbrella corp, to help maximize profit. Granted, CBS might…
  • Frankly, I'm not surprised. It would make sense that the only major reason the Nova (and the Saber) were given a major touch-up was due to impending updated Terran versions (that would later also be sold or boxed or both). Nevertheless, it's good to have it be done at all, and here's to hoping we also get a new Dervish,…
  • Haven't they done that with all the 32c ships and the Inquiry? I recall them stating in an earlier stream that part of the reason they've been able to push all the recent Trek ships from the shows were because CBS directly handed them the models to work with. They even mentioned animating mechanical tentacles was hard,…
  • I missed out on it by a couple of minutes; they only had a set amount during the charity and my payment was flagged as possible fraud that I had to verify that it was indeed me buying, then retrying the payment. By the time I re-attempted to buy the charity bundle that included the Mirror Guardian, it was gone, and I could…
  • It's not impossible, but also not realistically likely. For one, as mentioned, Cryptic avoids directly copying fan content as much as possible, especially after the brouhaha involving the "Design the Next Enterprise" drama. They might be inspired by some on some level, but it would be in the gray zone where the fan-artist…
  • Unpopular opinion, but Cryptic should offer first-time only, and limited-time FOMO deals on any new Z-Store stuff with a Dil equivalent option flat-scaled to the nearest Zen:Dil equivalent in increments of 25 (Ex: 500, 475, 450, 425, etc), which could be slightly under or slightly over. It would last as long as the sale on…
  • There's a difference between "Consolation Prize" which Lobi is, and the "Pity System" used by Genshin as OP was wanting, which guarantees a ship after being unlucky enough times in a row. Lobi is the literal "thanks for playing" guaranteed prize, which can be built up over time to buy an item or two off the Lobi store.…
  • Wow. My previous post attempts that I thought the Forum ate a month ago got posted recently. Apologies for that. Any mod that could go back and delete those now old June 27th extra posts of mine?
  • STO, alongside a number of other "old-school" MMOs, are overdue for a Pity System on all their Lootbox-equivalent mechanics. Will any of them get one though, is an iffy question, but it would be very good optics if STO would at least normalize it to every 100 boxes, regardless of type, and every 150 Promo Packs (whether…

  • Taking the list that somtaawkhar posted, a few ships could quickly be converted into dual (Fed/KDF), tri (Fed/KDF/Rom), or quad (Fed/KDF/Rom/JH) packs, of course, with single ship sales too. The Hermes/Tempest is an obvious one; with the novelty Tailgun and Nadion Saturation Bomb. Make the Tailgun a removable and…
  • Still no Kelvin Catian Catgirls (or Catboys) for now, or playable Iconian Rebel. Or for that matter, a number of more stereotypical fantasy races (more beastmen in the vein of minotaurs or wolfmen, more sentient monsters with somewhat humanoid elements such as lamia, merfolk, etc). But you're right in that most major…
