    That screenshot really sells the ship. If anyone had any doubt that this thing could look truly Klingon, they have been thoroughly quashed this day. And if they haven't, then those folks clearly lack any grasp on what a Klingon ship really looks like!

    Qapla'!

    "You must be a Lt. General to operate the Odyssey class starship."

    I guess that means we can meet-up at DS9 and swap. :)

    Wow, again not too happy with the turn rate but this ship is far more slanted to tac and engineering a little light for science officers. However, turn rate aside, this is a far superior set-up to the Fed version. Which is shocking as I would have expected Cryptic to make them very similar. Can I get this on the Fed-side???

    "You must be a Lt. General to operate the Odyssey class starship."

    LOL :D

    Suggested typo fix:

    "You must be a Lt. General to use this ship to crush any Odyssey-class starships you see!"

    Shame with that turn ratio you won't be able to bring the cannons in line for a second shot.

    I sense a disturbance in the Force. Its as if millions of Odysseys suddened cried out in terror... and were suddenly silenced.

    Once again the Klingons get the better of the 2 ships. Ever since the new bulk of ships to come out the klingons have gotten the best in every tier. At Cmdr they get their quad cannons, feds got that crappy point defense system, captain: klinks got a jump console. feds get their quad cannons. Now they get a tactical heavy console ship with 1500 more hull points than the Fed side.

    2 things: this is obviously retribution for giving the Feds everything early on. And it is also a lack luster and very obvious attempt to distract klingon players from the serious content drout that always has been promised to be resolved but all they manage to do is change where you start out.

    So from them giving us 2 awesome new FREE ships one for each faction you have to make something dark and bad out of it. I dont get why you cant just be happy.

    I am so very happy that this ship is exactly what I wanted for my KDF engineer!
    *wipes tears from eyes*
    Thank you, Cryptic. Thank you... lol.

    One thing is for sure:

    I won't bother with PvP if the flagships go live in their proposed configurations. FOUR tac consoles, +15 weapon power and a cloak........:rolleyes:

    (Want to make me happy? Don't nerf the klink ship; give the fed one the exact same stats.)
