    Can we get all the game content from 5 years from now and put it in-game today?

    I love the appearance of those KDF ships. It almost makes me willing to play a KDF. Almost... :)
    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.

    Did you just put the Omega 13 device from Galaxy Quest in game? Beryllium cylinder? 13 seconds?

    Part of me is fried that you did it, the rest of me tips my hat to you. Well played.

    I want bigger versions of those Temporal Department Logos.

    I wonder what the Klingon one says.

    Can the Mobius display standard universe hull patterns like the other Mirror ships or is it locked into its mirror look?

    ok i must have the mobius now that setup screams escort especially the weapon loadout in fact the more i look at it the more it seems like a science vessel, escort hybrid. and to top it all off it has the versatility of a oddyssey class making it a very good ship and that shield modifier wow. i hope its a lobi ship.

    Oh well such abilities... The science ship is fine but the escort is incredibly overpowered. 1.2 shield modifier and sensor analysis with DHCs, seriously? This ship can tear apart any other ship in less time it took me to write this post!

    And the rewind time reseting all abilities... Well... I guess this is a dedicated pvp ship. The richest man will win! :D

    I hope we can switch between both costumes if we own both ships.

    This is some really shoddy ship design in terms of game balance.

    It's like game balance has been thrown under the bus, reversed over, then driven over again, followed by a steam roller and finished off with a swift tricobalt device to the back of the head.

    The sensor analysis does require making a choice between beams and cannons, mind you.

    I expect the Vesta will have both as well.

    You do know that sensor analysis isn't subsystem targetting? Sensor analysis can ben triggered with my recluse with DHCs. And it works pretty well, but the turnrate is... Well, it's not 15.

    How does it require that choice? As far as I understand sensor analysis it stack just so long as you keep a ship targetted regardless of the weapons you use...

    im also disappointed in giving escorts sensor analysis, that seems way too op to me, as well as the 1.2 shield modifier? I know their from the future but come on!

    Also im disappointed in the Klingon bridge, its looks exactly like the federation side, just red.

    The console abilities sound cool, but the ships seem a bit too powerful IMO :/

    I'll take one of these, in a TOS Miranda skin please.

    What do you mean I don't get to request that?

    Obviously someone already requested an insane ship, because here it is! So I want one too, but in a more aesthetically pleasing hull.

    Oops. Misread. You can tell I'm not into science. Yeah, well... If they swapped it with subsystem targeting, it would be fine.

    Great Job on the bridges they really look the part!

    So how about making some new bridge packs and putting them in the c-store so i can own one instead of having a chance to win a awesome bridge :D

    UPDATE:

    The fact that the Temporal Destroyers (Krenn / Mobius) are listed as having Sensor Analysis is an error. Neither of these ships possess this ability.

    Sorry for the confusion! I've asked BranFlakes to update the blog accordingly.

    My main is. And sensor analysis means +33% dmg. Or two tac consoles. Which means this escort is a 12 console ship with 6 tac ones (including two free ones). :)

    Is the 15 turn rate on those science ships also an error?
