    Looking forward to this ship, but have a request ... Can we see a multi-view of her please?

    I've got a better glimpse of her underside in this blog entry but would love to see the other angles as well.

    I was really hoping for a LTC Tactical and LT Tactical, but I can get behind this due to the LT Universal...though I'm pretty sure it's going straight to Science anyways.


    And be ready for soooo many TRIBBLE jokes. Brown exploding cloud coming out of the buttcrack of your ship? HA!

    on top of that lookin forward to the wide arc torp will add a nice little edge for crusiers to actually use torpedos somewhat. and allow other ships to fire the torpedo sooner in their turn

    Hope that the torpedo is not that bad as the Quad Cannons.

    Is MK XII true?

    Well, that just made my must-buy list! :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Just noticed the blog mentions Assault Cruiser Refit. This vanished from the ship list on tribble and is still not showing on the live server. Could a dev please confirm what is happening with the Fleet refit?

    Any chance of allowing us to spend dilithium on more Wide Angle Quantum Torpedo Launcher? That would make a great torpdeo boat.

    EDIT; I got confused betweem Refit and Fleet. Any chance of a Fleet version with +1 Tac slot, +10% shields?

    I know that is the rule but after the 700 Zen for the First Contact space suits, I just wanted to make triple sure as I will purchase the ship 3 times anyways (for 3 out of 4 accounts). If it is character unlock only, then it goes to 1 character only.

    So $75 if account bound or $25 if character bound.

    Unrelated to the blog, the Fleet shop is missing some mines like Transphasic mines and Fleet mines have DMGx3 which doesn?t work with mines. This makes fleet mines useless. Any chance this could be looked at?

    Any chance, that we get the Sovereign bridge, a proper one, for this steep price included as a surprise?

    This won't be with my ships as I have the MU star Cruiser and it looks the same and for the two consoles not worth it for something I would not use

    What about the Imperial costume? Will it be compatible with this variant?

    Also, any way to get the Imperial costume now, even though it has been removed from the C-Store (without any warning)? I really, REALLY liked that one, but never bought it as I never flew the Assault Cruiser. I might be tempted to get the Regent for "teh new toyz", but I'd rather use the Imperial skin, should it be possible.

    Or is the costume going to be in the Fleet version only...?

    The Regent is already 2500 Zen... quite expensive, looking at the stats. As such, would it be possible to include the Imperial skin with it? Like, a bundle? Everyone who'll purchase the Regent Class will have access to the Imperial skin for all Assault Cruiser configurations? Please? Pretty please, with a cherry on top? *hint hint*

    Nice looking ship. $25 in C-Store? Ok, a bit pricey, but not so bad (especially after my "stipend discount").

    Hmm... I probably buy it when I have reason to come back and something worth playing (story missions).

    Thanks also for the extra pix above.

    Anyone able to post the stats on the console and torpedo launcher?

    You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.

    from the blog wrote:
    This launcher can be equipped on any starship, but you may only equip one.

    i gree with the Dilithium store, but since you can only equip one per ship, you couldn't make a "wide angle" torp boat.

    Stipend + Dilithium exchange, getting this ship for free :D

    Will use the Sovereign skin on it tho, I do think the Regent looks... wierd. But that might change once I see it ingame.

    "Console Modifications: 3 Tactical, 4 Engineering, 2 Science"

    The Slots are identical to my Tier 5 Sovy?

    shouldn't it get one additional console Slot because it comes with that C-Store +1 console metreon gas power?


    and i hope that the Torp launcher is a nice Mk XII version not some *less dps* version of it.


    PS: Fleet version will surely come just in time for the first Tier 5 Starbase ;P
    +10% and 4th TAC console slot plz?

    Agree! All C store ships with a unique console came with a extra console slot, why the Sove is the exeption?

    Isn't that the same as the basic Assault Cruiser? Why has it not got +1 consoles like other Cstore ships?
