    The Wells bridge looks very nice. And the Tipler Cylinder Console seems the be quite usefull if it has a decent cooldown. I don't really understand what the "Manheim Dispositif" Console does. Are you destroyable "twice" once you activate it or are you no longer targetable?

    So by activating the Manheim effect console you produce two duplicates of yourself with the same weapons and shields? That should be fun. ;-)

    So pretty nice bridge station layout there, with an LtC and Lt universal.

    Too bad it's going in such a ridiculous (and in my opinion, ugly) ship.

    Can I get a T5 TOS Miranda with these stats, and just pretend it's a time ship or something?

    I'm surprised these are coming out so soon. I thought it would be a later release.

    Nice to see Cryptic's lazyness concerning the KDF, repeats it's appearance. The KDF "bridge" is nothing more than a re-colored Wells Class bridge.

    But at this point, i'm pretty sure Cryptic will NEVER make KDF remotely equal to FED. And players want a full-fledged Romulan Faction, after all the ****, Cryptic has done to the KDF over the past 2.5 years? ROFL

    Wow. I'm actually amazed to find out it's true. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Klingon_history#Alternate_timelines

    Wow, nice way of defending lazyness. So your saying that all ships of Member Worlds in the Federation, carry the same basic bridge design, but with a more "cultural" wall coloring? What happens if the Dominion were to capture one of the KDF Temporal ships? It gets a sudden "Purple" look internally?

    I don't see it as laziness. I see a lot of work on that bridge that took hand tweaking. The ship, inside and out, had a lot of work that had to be put into it and I can see hours of work in just retooling that bridge. There's a new console UI. Textures don't recolor themselves and don't automatically recolor that well. The exterior deliberately has a Federation-ish look to it as well.

    Beyond that, accusing devs of laziness accomplishes nothing. They're all working 60+ hour weeks easily. People doing that will shut you out if you call them lazy.

    Misplaced priorities? Now that's a criticism.

    But I don't see lack of work on that bridge. It looks appropriate. Could it look more different? Yes. Should it? Maybe. But it doesn't look that way because somebody isn't working. It looks that way because somebody is working on something else after probably three people put around 8-10 hours on making that Klingon bridge unique and at least one person said, "Why are we doing lockboxes that require two bridges now? I have a work list a mile long already."

    So... priorities? Always up for debate. Laziness? They wouldn't last there as an employee being lazy. They're working on stuff. It's probably just that the stuff you're seeing takes longer than you think it does and they're working on stuff you don't see or care about. Which, again, makes it priorities.

    Are you kidding? The Miranda looks like an ugly ship made from cardboard, which it probably was back in the day. Excelsior is the first ship from TOS-era that looks 'good'.

    Not sure about the Klingon but the pictures show the Mirror Time ship is a Red Interior while the Relativity's is blue.

    I am not reading through all 27 pages, so I apologize if this has already been answered.

    Will these Klingon and MU Klingon ships have cloaking devices?

    Can the destroyer variants by any chance mount cannons?

    Little point in arguing anymore. its happening and cryptic sees to many ????? from these boxes for them to release these the honest way in the cstore.

    Might as well try to enjoy the parts of the game that are untainted by them.

    It's got a beryllium sphere!! Yes, it's the Omega 13 device from Galaxy Quest. :)

    Actually I think the Red one is the Klingon version not the Federation version. Pretty weak re-skin if you ask me.

    /blinks It is. Its just almost exact as the Relativity bridge, except mirrored and in red.

    Well if the Klingons are part of the Federation during that time, guess they would be similar.

    We all knew that Cryptic wasn't going to reconsider no matter what.

    Personally, I'm still disappointed that the IP keeps getting treated like this. STO isn't an MMO anymore, but just a fancy online Star Trek Theme park. :(

    Indeed, exactly right. STO has lost it's way big time, it's all just about taking advantage of us customers now. Exploit the customers to make a profit. Greed is eternal. Perfect World and Cryptic have really destroyed this game, so many empty promises.

    I can't wait until SWTOR goes full F2P, Halo 4 is released and the New Star Trek XI game comes out.

    Until then I'll just grind Dilithium in STO in the hopes they may actually wake up to themselves or until something new gets my attention which will only be a couple of months until that will happen.

    Yeah, the Ferengi would be proud of them. Heck, maybe they are real and running Perfect World? :confused:

    But yeah, it's empty promises. Stahl said on his last Priority One interview that the team is like 50 people now, and yet looks like all the promised content is in these Lockboxes and not really the replayable content we been wanting. At best every 6 months is a new grind mission, setting up for the next grind.

    Wish there was a company that rescue us from PW and give us the STO Star Trek fans really want.

    Trek fans don't even know what they want, so how can a company please them when they don't want one thing. Unless trek fans are the borg, and have a hive mind and all think alike no company is going to ever please them all.

    You don't represent the trek fans, so what you want does not mean every fan wants that. Some fans would want the game set in TOS era, some fans would want it in TNG, some would want to game to be like SWG, some would want it to play like WoW. etc so there is no company that can make the perfect trek game that would make everyone happy :)

    Let me get this straight....

    We CAN'T have a T5 TOS Constitution...because it breaks immersion.

    But, we can have time travel ships from the 26th or 29th Century.

    Canon fail much?

    Ever heard of the Temporal Prime Directive? Oh and how about the Temporal Accords? Let's not mention that when these ships were seen in the series, the crews and commanding officers of said ships, were ADAMANT they not mess with the time line.

    But now we're gonna have Time Travel ships all over the place.

    Double Mega Epic /facepalm :eek:


    I jested in one of my early fanvideos / machinima on youtube that Cryptic would find an excuse to 'suspend' the Temporal Prime Directive.

    That was in February / Mar 2012.

    Now see what happened. LOL

    Nobody is forcing this on anyone... It's there for people who wish to obtain 1...
    Honestly, I have given up on the PvP world... I see why the Devs don't develop anything for PvP... They cry nerf when they die from anything >.> (Science Class is all the evidence I need).

    If you think it will hurt PvP, don't PvP people who have it!

    AMS is bad boo! Get freaking Science Team and get off your Tac Team spam!
    The only thing that should change for AMS is to have it Galaxy Class only if they do decide to change it.

    But I tend to agree with you, nobody forces people to buy lock boxes, I personally enjoy them - not gonna hide that, I open them for the fun of seeing what's in them, and with the Lobi store I can save for cool ships too. I know it's more efficient to sell keys and be done with it, but where's the fun? :P

    Granted when the Vesta finally hits the C-Store I'll be fighting people to buy it.

    A good number of people's issue is with the fact that 29th century timeships are in the game.

    It doesn't matter if I, for example, don't purchase lockbox keys - thousands of other players will and these stupid timeships will be everywhere.
    Which is kinda lame in and of itself....

    MMOs need money. Guess where money comes from? That's right.... seperateing it from their players.
