i think i figured out the fleet sovereign mystery. they want the c store version to be released first, so people will buy it before they buy the fleet version, which will be better. just look at the armatige and fleet akira, it will be the same thing. people would not be inclined to buy the inferior c store refit version after they already got the superior fleet version, unless they HAD to have the new skin, and or console.
if people could buy the fleet version before the c store version, they would complain that they weren't given the change to buy the fleet version with the 75% discount, creating much forum rage. they are smart enough to do this in an order that generates the least unhappy people, and gives people a chance to buy things like fleet heavy cruisers and the like in the mean time.
it might be a wile before new c store ships are introduced, it wont be until everyone who has the fleet ship they want already has it. flooding the market with the fleet ships and a new c store ships would just divide sales. the c store sovereign will be released when they think they can make the most money off of it, and will likely be the next release. the fleet sovereign will appear only after that.
That sounds reasonable. It's probably the smartest thing for Cryptic to do.
Sovereign refit and Vesta are my most likely bets.
Sovereign refit it was implied (Priority One interview if I remember right) was basically ready to go, and we did have a fleet Sovereign disappear from tribble shortly before live.
Vesta probably less likely, but last month's ask cryptic said to ask again this month about that ship, so it's possible something was in progress and might be decided about now.
Outside bet: Throwaway Ferasan ship as pure appeasement. Possibly a cheap reskin of the Armitage to prop up the return on investment for lower sales and also give the KDF an escort carrier.
Well, Cryptic would have recently finished the litigation for obtaining the Vesta rights and it IS confirmed that the Vesta will be a science ship so my bets are squarely on the Vesta.
Well people were wanting the FC suit and unfortunetly 700z per character came up so if its something people have been waiting for, to the z store (cue tv Batman music).....
Its more than likely going to be either the vesta or the sovereign
Hopefully its one of those you have mentioned, also the Vesta class was on the list of ships with sovy class at the top and I think Vesta second follow by ambassador class or the other way round. Hopefully the Vesta class will be a science ship.

Well actually I have stated both the nemesis look and 25th century/2409 look. With the nemesis look they could put that in c-store.
trust me , it'll come with a 2409 skin with hull styling to match
