    Couple of things:

    1) Yay, one more thing Klingons won't have special, more encouragement to ignore KDF. :mad:

    2) [Edited to remove content that is causing repetitive posts :confused::confused:]


    Overall, I do not like this and will not be purchasing it :mad:

    So it was said it'd be a flight deck cruiser, its not.

    Said it'd be available for a small period of time... apparently its not.

    Yeah... it's a pretty ship and all... but yeah...

    Well the ship looks very nice. I'm curious just how many people are that hard up for a Federation carrier though.

    Welp... There goes the planet. :p

    Nice looking ship. But it'll be a pass for me.

    Now hurry up with that Sovereign Retrofit!

    Good news everyone! Now I'll sit back and watch the complaints against this with crossed arms and a smug smile.

    No, this might not be true Star Trek style, but I like to imagine that Starfleet isn't so soft and that they can't adapt and adopt new combat initiatives. Such as carriers. Just like it is ludicrous to suggest that there isn't a Starfleet Marines of some kind as fans once argued about.

    2) Why is this totally un-Starfleet thing allowed but alien ships such as the D'Kora are lock box only? (As in, CBS approved this but not those, I find that unlikely).


    Overall, I do not like this and will not be purchasing it :mad:

    2. - Probably because the Caitians, like the Vulcans and the release of the D'Kyr, are members of the Federation; the Dominion, Cardassians and Ferengi are not.

    CBS not allowing them to use XYZ is just an excuse for lockboxes. There is and never will be logic behind this statement, so don't bother.

    The Carrier looks awesome. Do we get to test it on TRIBBLE??? What about those Fighters? I hope they are not consumables :rolleyes:

    Personally i'm definitely going to be giving this a look when it comes out. As a lifer i know all about broken promises and content no longer being exclusive, so i had to laugh when reading that. Frankly this right here might be enough to kill my klingon characters as i never enjoyed the KDF game play but just wanted the T5 ships. As for saying this is entirely not a federation thing, neither were escorts until DS9 came along and added the Defiant. War does that, and if that weren't enough than when 4 out of 5 KDF in pvp are flying carriers, than maybe its a sign that the Feds need one too.


    I personally am looking forward to this and seeing what it can do as well as any variant or customization options.

    Sounds cool, but a Thoron device? That sounds decidedly un-Starfleet.

    With the exceptions of 2 C-Store ships & the lockbox ships, I have every admiral ship so far. This will be another exception. If it was an actual Federation carrier, I'd get it. But this? It looks interesting, but no thanks.

    Nice looking ship...wish that when a new ship was introduced however that you would do the design contest like you did for the new Enterprise

    How come Ferengi are official Starfleet races?

    I have to agree with both of these statements, I doubt it though.

    I've semi-given up on applying any kind of logic to these things.

    I like it... but it makes me think of a Romulan Warbird...

    ...Are the Feds going to get other pet choices, or just fighters?

    And once more tactical captains have been ignored. Can we finally get new escorts? I am tired of Cruisers/Sci ships. None are really related to escorts. But the ship does look pretty ^-^

    You're able to create Klingon characters on the Fed side, yet we're at war with them. I guess it's like that with the Ferengi, not at war but they're not allies, right? Kind of just neutral.

    What a wicked ship, looks mean and has some rather elegant curves.

    The Ferengi are not a part of the Federation. However, with a referral from a Starfleet Captain or higher, anybody can join Starfleet. Why aren't the Ferengi available to the KDF? Do you think Klingons would let those worthless Peta'Q serve in the Empire?

    "Caitian Stalker Fighters can be launched from any Flight Deck Cruiser or Carrier."

    Depends how it is implemented. . thoron is actively used by the federation just never heard of it as a weapon more as a use to disguise and deceive sensors perhaps it creates a thoron field to mask the ship or increase miss chance guess we are gonna have to wait till tomorrow or whenever more info comes out :D
