Orion Siege Destroyer

Just did a Starbase Fleet Alert run not but an hour ago, and I noticed they seem to have a new art asset for the Orion boss ship.

On the Wiki, it's called a "Warbarge Dreadnought" and is literally just a Vo'Quv with a different name.

But not on this day.

On this day, I saw beauty given Duranium form. On this day, I saw... Okay, I'm pretty sure it's name began with a "K." In any case, it was beauty. Trust me on this.

My best description (I honestly cannot do it justice, nor did I think to take a screenie :( ) would be that it was similar to the Corsair and Dacoit (you can really see this in the prow section) but much, much bigger than the typical Orion battleship.

And so, my question I pose to the Developers is... CAN WE HAZ IT?!? PLEEZE, PRETTY PLEEZE?!?

edit: NVM as far as the STOWiki part goes, they have pics of the new ship there now: http://www.stowiki.org/Warbarge_Dreadnought

    KDF lineup?
    Are you joking.
    With such a ship the Orion Syndicate will take control and rule the GALAXY *evillaughter*

    Well, hey, when they fix the Klingon lore consoles, do the daily some.

    You might find out that the Klingon Empire is ALREADY under Orion control.

    No. Seriously. The KDF in STO and all its actions are the result of Orion women enslaving the Chancellor and the High Council with their pheromones.

    This point tends to get brushed aside. But it's there!

    Every power in STO is enslaved by at least one other group using them as puppets.

    Which would be cool, if we weren't also puppets for the factions we're in.

    Structurally WoW did much the same thing, as did prior games in that series. And they eventually realized that while having everyone in a position of authority turn out to be crooked was cool and worked well for MMO story design, the other half of that is that you need to have players either free to voice dissent with their faction or to regularly come into conflict with their corrupt leadership.

    Meh. It's become so commonplace you're expecting it to happen.

    It's so... ordinary.
