    I can't believe I ended up buying this... damn my ship O.C.D!

    You guys better get a new lead ship artist because if this is the best that he has... you need to take a good look at your team. If I could get a refund on this... I totally would! :mad:

    I actually went and bought this ship last night and I'm pleased with it! Love the look of the Regent personally, the wide angle torp launcher is great for broadside attacks (still getting used to that though... gotta remember to press the button to fire it hehe), and the gas cloud is fun to mess with!

    The price? Meh. I had to purchase 30 dollars worth of Zen which wasn't bad, Wish there was a 25 dollar option but understand why their isn't, but like I said I'm quite pleased with it and in my opinion was worth the money. :)

    i purchased this ship last night but have a few questions :

    1: why is the fleet logo not working for me (anybody else getting this ? )

    2: why is some of the texture placements look odd/not right ?

    3: why not let us have a rear facing wide angle torp (a 2nd 1) even if we have to pay for it or trade it for the metreon console ?

    had some more but they have slipped my mind (what left of it lol )

    Well, the torp is pretty much the only redeeming thing about this ship. It's underpowered, but for a good reason. Personally I mounted it on the aft weapon slot of my Odyssey (yeah, I already switched back to my old ship), which I fly as a beam array boat. This torp allows me to deal some constant kinetic damage without having to turn every few seconds.

    As for the rest, I already said it's not worth it. If you're not interested in the torpedo - don't buy the ship. Show Cryptic that they've got to do better than this if they want to encourage players to buy their stuff. This ship is simply overpriced for what you're getting. And if you really want that Lt.Cmdr. Tac slot - get a superior Odyssey or the Excelsior instead. This one here is really just an ugly skin, a useless console and a new torpedo for 25$.

    I'm quite pleased with the new Regent... see I'm a fan of the old Excel... I LOVE my Excel... and the way it's looking, even with this new Regent my old Excel is still a very viable ship. Which is fine with me 'cause I don't wanna give up my Excel! heheheheh... thanks guys!

    2. Hadn't noticed that but probably because it was in testing for less than a day, my guess is it will be sorted with the fleet logo

    many of the newer ships have this problem to but nothing is done to sort it as far as i can see

    You know, sometimes you investigate a ship release so much, you forget the basic purpose; so being used only Sovereign class before this ship came, I will tell you my main concerns and why I like this ship when it came out.

    - I never bought the Oddy class, so I won't compare it with that or any other ship. My skills are basically tank/dps. I always stuck by the T4'ish Sovereign even in PvPs for it.

    - I saw the Regent class, it's bridge officer allocation was confusing - and personally that name sake Uni BO slot is useless, we all know we'll use it for science!

    - I bought it, and I can say, that it is definitely a better version of current Sovy.

    - End note; do you like the current Sovy? If yes, and you have an urge to buy this ship but aren't sure? Well go for it in that case, it improved version of the current Sovy and you will enjoy using it.

    I take back everything bad I said about that. Just started using it without any Science to make it more assault based and its fun so far.

    Hey all, im still have mix thoughts about buying the regent class, i been saving for ages. Should I wait till they release a retro version in c-store or will the retro version be the fleet ship? Will they fix the regent class that has come out already?

    I saw it on the Ship selector so I can get a good look at it as it from all angles. I like my Sovereign lot better. I just got it last night as I just hit Lv40. I really don't see why I would spend $ for it. When the Sovereign looks better and has just the same stuff. Ok I can't send torpedoes from the side. Ships in the movies and shows don't do that, so that don't matter. The gas cloud attack, I do that anyways with venting plasma, so nothing new on that.

    I will save my money for the Odyssey or Galaxy Dreadnaught. I'm still hoping for the Ambassador or a better ship to get my attention. Granted its a good ship, and hope it sells. But I won't be getting it.

    Hey RAJ, I got the REGENT and I'm loving it. I'm not sure what you want "fixed" on this Sovereign refit? Please let me know what is holding you back. I know the price is the big issue for many as they do not see the bang per buck with this ship.

    If you are holding out for the Fleet Sovereign, its probably a good idea to get this C-store version for the console amd launcher. The reason is because if you get this c-store version, you get a discount on the Fleet version.

    For example, if you pay $25 for the Regent, you just need to pay and extra $5 for one fleet module to get the Fleet variant. So that is a total $30.

    If you choose to pass on the c-store Regent and just get the Fleet variant, it is still going to cost you $20 to buy 4 fleet ship modules to buy it. So you'll spend $20 for a fleet variant without the special console or launcher.

    So the question to ask yourself is....Is the console and launcher worth the extra $10???? If it is....buy the c-store Regent. If not, pass on it.

    Right now, I got the Regent....I was not too hot on the design, so I just changed the visual to the Sovereign design. Now I have a heavily tactical Sovereign....and really enjoying it.

    for me the regent is to weak when i do the fleet events , even with the maco mk xii setup the shields go down in a matter of seconds even with tach team 3 and 2x field gens . the hull goes down nearly as fast even with 3x mk xii neutronium armor , it seems weaker than the sovi with the same setup


    question for the devs if you read this = when is the fleet logo bug going to be fixed on the regent ?

    this happens with all ships now, they have made the fleets events a little harder since after they were released. They were easier now they are a bit harder to do.

    I think I am going to wait till they fix the other AC ship parts nothing working with the regent or vis-versa. Plus anything else.

    Also has anyone noticed that with all the post we have made about the visual faults with sovereign class it seems that JamJamz has put it on the regent e.g. the size of the regent saucer is the right size of what the sovereign saucer is supposed to look like. This is from the movie and pictures I have seen.

    nearly all the ships have faults which supprises me on the c-store ships , about time they sorted these things before release . it's not that hard to texture a ship it just takes time to do it right

    When I first saw the pics of this ship, I was pretty underwhelmed to be honest. However after seeing it in game, I am quite impressed. Good job :)

    To yreodred - the regent does not mix with the other parts off the other AC ships.

    ya it does, just... not very well. i took my standard ac to the tailor and was able to try out the regent parts to my hearts content. it wouldn't mix with the mirror ac because that looks like a star cruiser

    so ya it does not match properly :rolleyes:. The devs should of tested this out first before releasing it. It us an embarrassment, one of the iconic ship in star trek and they can't do things properly. More and more I think im, going to leave soon.

    I picked up this vessel, and was pretty underwhelmed.

    While I like the graphical style, I wasn't happy with the consoles, and I wasn't happy with the turn rate.

    I guess I was spoiled by the extra consoles on the Odyssey, which makes for a pretty decent ship in terms of power and survivability, and the Regent simply felt like an easily breakable pinata.

    Additionally, for being a tactically minded cruiser, the turn rate feels sluggish and not what I had hoped for.

    Basically, I ended up taking the 180 torpedo off of it, tossing it on my Oddy and kept playing with my broadside battleship of uberness, now with the ability to fire broadside torpedoes!

    ---EDIT---

    Oh, and another thing which disappointed me about this ship...after the supercool bridge that came with the Odyssey, it was disappointing to have to revert back to the old bridges for this ship. It's too bad we can't use the Oddy bridge on other ships, and it's too bad this new ship didn't at least come with a new bridge of it's own.

    I have concluded that the Regent is a FAW style 7xBA 1xTorp boat for Engineers. The Excelsior is far more effective with cannons/dbb as it requires less rcs/enigne power to stay in arc.

    Is anyone still having trouble mixing ship parts together? I tried the regent with the sovereign's nacelles and made it even longer, looks amazing. But then seconds later my game crashes. Also in the sto wiki it still says the Majestic is still the longest of the ACs when the regent has over taken her.

    What KDF ships are the Devs working on?

    None? Really? <Surprised Look>

    If you ever decide to do any KDF development in the next couple years; can I get a new shuttlecraft, please?
