    looks really really nice!



    But hmmm a 10th console slot is a must have on these ships

    3 tactical
    3 science
    4 engineering

    or 4 tac 4 eng 2 sci



    You are not giving me a reason to buy it :(
    i have the c store oddysey and i also have the tholian recluse carrier
    both have 10 console slots and both have a more flexible boff roster.

    If i buy it it will just be for the nice look :)

    Anyone have any idea? I've been looking all over, but it seems most people just aren't talking about it.

    It says on the blog its tomorrow.

    "The Assault Cruiser Refit: Regent Class is absolutely stunning, and we can?t wait for you to be able to fly it. It will be available in the C-Store as an account-wide unlock for 2,500 ZEN following server maintenance this Thursday, August 16th."

    I notice that Cryptic has been going through the Next Gen and later behind the scenes for ship designs. The Hegh'ta is based on John Eaves retro Bird of Prey design that wasn't used in Enterprise. Some of the Tactical Escorts were earlier versions of the Defiant. Well played. I love it. You guys are allowing us to see some great designs in action, kudos to that.

    And this Regent is the beta version of the Sovereign with the nacelle pylons. Now I and others have brought up the chicken in a pan thing about why that design wasn't chosen.

    But I also still loved it, and I'm very happy you brought it back. Love what you've done with the saucer (except the interesting shape on the dorsal when viewed from the bow). BUT...that valley on the neck spine connection. That my friends is art and is my favorite part of the ship. I'm gonna integrate that into my Noble when I buy this ship....still a ways away, but I'm in. I imagine that there is a Fleet version in the pipeline too. A Fleet Version which will likely be my ultimate ship on my primary character.

    That said, I still hope you guys can find the time to do the Nemesis refit of the Sovereign, the integrated neck :druuul

    I like the Wide Angle Torpedo launcher, though I too wish for the rapid fire, I'm cool with it. It will make it far easier to hit and bring the assault back to the assault cruiser. A curious solution.

    And to UssUltimatum the turn rates they need to look at are in Nemesis.

    And an idea for the Fleet Version. How about a weapons bonus for beam weapons. If the balancing opinion on the company side, is that Cruisers have to be slow turning tanks, at least give us a boost to the beams we have to rely on so that they can tear apart our enemies. Make the Assault Cruiser something to be feared.


    I'd love to see a Boss refit for the Hegh'ta :D

    That is correct.


    No need to be insulting to either franchise. And if Picard and Anij had had a torrid passionate love affair it would've displaced the rest of the movie, seemed incredibly out of place, and frankly been out of character for Picard the Reserved.

    And Star Trek The Next Generation had a long and documented love affair with classical theater. Consider the actors involved.

    Nemesis was a good movie heading towards great movie, until they let Stuart Baird into the editing room, cutting out all the character scenes, robbing us of the character and family interactions that built the franchise :mad:. It needed another half an hour of character time.


    I 100% agree on st nemesis, if they left in the deleted scenes in and made some changes it would be even better than it is. To me it seemed to short. Apparently they were planning to make star trek 11 another TNG movie but they changed their minds. Since this was going to be the last TNG they should of went all out. O well maybe we will get another TNG one I hope in some way or form.

    Also the Aft view of teh regent reminds of of the aft view of the E from nemesis

    What is this 'again'?

    I consider the last ship that they released via the C-store, the Armitage, to be a fantastic ship and have heard few (reasonable) complaints about it.

    So far as I am concerned they got that one right, and that's just one example.

    And frankly, so far as negative comments pertaining to the Regent are concerned - it hasn't even been released yet*

    Simple, they screwed up the Starbase system, small fleets are screwed with the requirements

    I am a lot happier with this BO layout than the fleet version we saw on tribble. As far as the new look, while it is nice, I am not 100% sure that this should have been the sovy refit. I will wait until I see it in game tomorrow before I really decide on that. I am however happy that this ship gets two perks, both the launcher and the console. I just wish that we had a bridge for it now, either the same or very close to what we have seen from the movies. Either the Nemesis skin for the ship or a few touch ups to the one that we have would be nice also. (ie lighter hull material, actual starfleet markings, etc)

    YES, Nemesis skin. We still want it Cryptic, please make it happen. Trust us, it will put butts in seats. And cash in your pockets :)
    Not sure what this even is lol. Everyone seems excited. A good purchase? One of my friends who recommended me the game is pretty excited.

    Does anyone know how much zen you get from $25 Ultimate Game Card? My friend got one but wasn't sure.
    A zen is worth a penny I think. Yeah, 100zen = $1

    So that $25 Ultimate Game Card should by all rights be enough to by this ship or any other single ship (or Odyssey/Bortas'qu) pack.

    Well the thing was that it wasn't gonna be the last TNG film...until it failed. Some were treating it as the last film, but the cast and production team weren't. Paramount was the one that insisted on the "A Generation's Final Journey" tag line. That's why no one on the production team really fought to get the final version of the Sovereign fully fitted into the movie...they all assumed that they could show off the ultimate form in the next film. When Nemesis bombed, that never happened, a bloody curse. They should've just let Frakes direct then everything would've been treated with tender loving care. :cool:

    And I see what you're saying.

    But I think it reminds me more of the Galaxy from behind.

    It's curious how the Sovereign is a spiritual design successor to the Excelsior instead of the Galaxy (John Eaves words).

    Well... it's a STARBASE. Did you really except a small fleet to be able to make one in a reasonable amount of time?

    As much as we may not like the requirements for the Starbases, they do make sense. Making a starbase in real life would take some time as well, this just merely reflects it.
    Was named Trek17.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    Indeed we want a Nemesis skin, there is loads there that has changed from First contact. You do know John Eaves created the Excelsior right so naturally he will transfer his design or art over.

    I don't care for the looks of the Regent myself, or the Sovy or its standard in game variants. The hull looks so tiny, and the fact that we cannot buy the Imperial skin (that has the big hull) anymore to mix and match and design a ship that I would like (Majestic Saucer and Nacelles, Imperial Hull, and Nacelle Pylons either from the Sovy, Imperial or even the Regent) is really annoying to the point of it being a deal breaker.

    And we have to wait for a Tier 5 Fleet base to have the Imperial skin back??? What a joke!

    However...

    Note that the torpedo launcher can be equipped on any ship (though only one per ship), so most cruiser will not have to kill for it, neither will escorts or science ships or carriers.

    I just bought some more zen on the assumption that this quote is correct. I plan to put that launcher in one of the existing cruisers my characters already use. I guess we'll find out tomorrow for sure.... :o

    I might get this for the wide-angle QTL. Though I wonder what is the DPS equivalent to.

    People have been complaining about the price, keep in mind that this ship has TWO sepcial consoles, the Metreon Canister and the Quantum torpedo turret.

    IMO, has 2 special items cause the ship itself isn't worth it.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Considering that you'll need to rip that launcher out from the ship, I'm guessing "no".

    A guy in my Fleet have buy the ship, he say the torp is Mk'8' (Infinite), and the stats is :

    180' targeting arc
    3082.5 Kin Dam (362.7DPS)
    + 2 % Crit. Chance
    + 10 % Acc.


    And for the Metreon Gas Can. console :

    - 90 % turn rate
    - 75 % impulse speed
    Disables cloak

    Ignited Metreon Gas deals 2020.4 Plasma Damage per sec for 5 sec.



    I don't know anything else at the moment about CD, etc.

    I'm debating whether or not to buy this especially for a few reasons. The first reason is the ship itself seems to be another ody with a slightly but not really better turn rate at a whopping 7 where as bortas and ody are like a 5.5 or 6 turn rate so its better but not by much at all. The second thing is I don't play fed side much there really isnt anything like an empire defense or pi canis sorties for the fed side so its pretty much stf's or a daily for half of what pi canis does in an initial run.

    I dunno if they put in more to do with these ships especially where you get dilithium because the fleet events are nice but if you do those you don't get that compensation for your time playing like you do with things that reward dilithium...

    Really need to put some new KDF ships in the game to buy because I'm personally not inclined to keep buying anymore I got the ody pack and the armitage but thats probally where I draw the line since I don't have much of anything to do with them.

    dear devs, I would like to buy this ship but for the price your asking for this ship is not worth it, either increase a few things or lower the price or add something else etc.

    Also when will we see the Fleet Assault Cruiser stats etc?
