    Flyable Jem Hadar Ship?

    What is this? I don't even....

    Wow.

    I'm guessing this is a part of either the winter update or the FE that is coming soon.

    Whoa. That's an impressive little ship. Will it be an FE reward?

    2 lieutenant universal slots? In a fed escort? I'd go to town with a ship like that. >:D

    I'd imagine that there'll be a mission in the upcoming FE series that will require us to use this ship? I can't imagine Starfleet would really want us chugging along in former enemy vessels just for the fun of it.

    Now that's almost enough to get me to log in before the 15th. I'm not a fan of the Dominion (no dislike, just don't care), but I am overjoyed to see a new Escort that is not just a minor tweak of one we already have (MVAM and Dfiant I am looking at you). Escorts have been lagging significantly behind Cruisers and Science ships.

    If this thing is going to be widely available its going to be a terror.

    *shakes head* I have to say no to this.
    If you need to ask why;
    • TWO universal LIEUTENANT slots
    • 1 more ENG console slot over the Fleet Escort
    • 3,000 more hull points over top-tier escorts
    • Higher Turn rate
    • Higher Impulse Modifier
    • Extra Power Modifiers

    For gosh sakes this is a kamikaze ship from an OLD war...
    Even if you must give it some of these unique benefits I think you ought to;
    • Significantly gimp the hull
    • Remove the Sci console slot entirely (no replacement)
    • Give it a MINUS power to shields modifier

    I sure hope *not.*

    Why? I just finished getting my Defiant-R.
    I have no desire to have to replace it with either a super-grind, or a C-Store +1 ship.

    And for the love of Pete its a DOMINION ship.....

    I can see Andorian or Vulcan ships being used widely in Starfleet but a Bugship?
    Have you guys finally cracked?

    "Fascinating"

    New ships are always great! New stories also great! If this is a lead-in for the new FE I will be pleased.

    However, T5 ships that are more powerful than makes sense for the storyline are kind of irksome, considering how many larger or equally sized modern ships did NOT make it to a T5 variant.

    How can something that's decades old be a T5 variant when, say, a brand new ship like the Thunderchild isn't?

    Oh and I think it's a bit obvious that these "little ships" are the ones that disappeared in the wormhole, part of a HUGE fleet that consisted of battle cruisers and fighters.

    In the DS9 episode "Sacrifice of Angels"... The Prophets cause the Dominion ships to vanish, saving Bajor, and those ships are never seen again... Until now, perhaps?

    I love seeing new ships in game, but why a Jem'hadar ship?

    Judging from the spoilers that are circulating about the FE, I'd say this is very very likely.

    Looks OP to me. Would rather have the Andorian Kumari as a cruiser though, hell you could even make it a escort based on the size, speed, etc seen in ST:ENT. Feds flying dominion ships is just wrong.

    Nobody has said we can keep it at all. Guessing it is like the B'rel in Doomsday machine where we get to play with it for the missions.

    Look forward to jumping in one though :D

    This is not right cryptic. I mean, new ships are nice, of course but PLEASE don't start adding your pay to win ships in endgame. You're going to just make every freakin person serious about PVP HAVE to fly one of these ships. Us players like diversity. Please fix the hull to match the rest of the escorts and not overpower this thing too much.

    They didn't even say this would be ours to keep. They could just let us fly it for a mission or 2 like the BoP from the remastered Doomsday Device. As much as Id like to believe were getting a new escort I'm gonna wait to get my hopes up.

    EDIT
    Dirlettia, you beat me to it

    Intriguing. I'm reserving opinion on it until we get some better idea of what it's for. I can certainly see it as a ship to use to infiltrate the True Way or something like that.

    As always, I express my hope that this is not just another C-Store item. I may even be pleasantly surprised. =)

    I would bet you can only fly it when doing the FE.....

    And seriously... no Dervish jokes yet!?!?! (Sorry lol)

    I read that and got all into it so you could sell me a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship at the end?

    Seriously?

    I've never complained about C-Store tactics before, but...that just makes me sad.
