Did you make it so that they were a bit more expensive but gave us their innate abilities, or what? :P
If so, where's the Guramba?
Edit: Hmmm, updated models for the Breen. If I recall, previous releases of ingame NPC ships as lockbox ships always started by updating their models. Does this mean the winter ship is a Breen one?
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

I know this should probably only be the T5 Excelsior, but could you confirm that?

I'm glad to see such a fast turnaround on the NPC disappearing bug. Also nice to see the return of patrols. Is the behavior the same as earlier on Tribble or has it been tweaked?
Best part of the patch notes for me.
Also, is it possible to have the Reputation Equipment Projects, Consumable Item Projects, and Store Unlock Projects moved from Active Projects to the Upgrade Projects track?
Well, it is a Winter Event, so makes sense.

Sure it is. Read "... Heavy Cruiser Retrofit" :P
Yeah, not bad.
Indeed it does. And I'm pretty sure I remember correctly and they DID update models for ships before putting them into lockboxes.

breen ship, cruiser most likely, being the winter holiday ship confirmed
its hilarious that this ship needs a tier 5 ship yard, its hardly worthy of it. the vorcha will forever be 4x beter becaase of its great turn rate, and DHC use. overly tactical heavy fed cruisers that turn like TRIBBLE and cant mount more heavy weapons are pointless. that might be different if torps worked differently, and werent so dipendent on shield faceings being down to do anything.
the first thing im gonna do after the batch drops on holodeck is get this
i know you just made some of the hard core KDF players VERY happy with this. tier 5... to bad no one will be able to get it for quite a wile though. finally a kdf ship that can begotten for 1 fleet module
a fleet varanus? well, advantage is it can be had with 1 fleet module, but its also got very poor movement stats, and a lower shield mod then fed sci ships. its always been a bad combination. a more user friendly ship would have been a more agile lower tier gorn ship. but i guess you would have to pay more for it. at least theres a fleet kdf sci ship now.
couldn't list the station setup on any of these? could you mention if they are any different then thier non fleet counterparts?
OMG /Win!
Thank you. For once, Please take my money and gimme gimme the ships!
Any pics you can share with us till Tribble comes back up?
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
So not happy about the tier 5 thing...its your call guys, but my fleet will no longer longer be doing starbase shipyard projects if this ship remains a tier five shipyard vessel. And you will not get me to buy any ship modules either.
Random Quote from Kerrat

Indeed they do. NPC ships are generally low-quality models as they're not meant to be viewed too closely for too long, but a few of them have received the high-quality texture treatment. The D'kora... the Galor... the JHAS.
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
Precisely what I said. They update NPC ships before they stuff them into lockboxes. My money's on the Breen being in the winter event.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
Can't wait to see the stats on those new Fleet Ships though.
Anyone?
Would love to actually test that out but JF stopped at T3 when fleet progression went live on Holo. So how can you really flush out and test it.
If you have a fleet at T5 on tribble i would love to know so i can test it out for STOked Radio.

Also, Fleet Kar'Fi when?!
Is this right? 5 ship modules when all other ships cost 4?
Come join the 44th Fleet.

Breen ship for next winter event.
This, please. Other than converting Marks to Dilithium in this patch, there's nothing to do in the Upgrades category for the Remans, at least through tier 2 (haven't hit tier 3 on Holo yet), and only turning in Neural Processors for Dilithium for Omega.
The universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick is learning how to take a joke.

This is going to hold up our T4 Military upgrade this week!
Here is the last post by Borticus
Nothing has been changed with the actual Patrol behavior. We just made sure it works AFTER publishing now.
Previously, if you had a patrol set on a map with uneven terrain, the NPCs patrolling would just fall through the world or do other sorts of inane things. Now they'll do this in preview, but they'll work properly in publish.
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
EDIT: Oh, and was that Vesta hangar thing necessary? I mean, I own the Vesta, but still thought that was a nice compromise. It's got the very debatable hangar bay, but it's not as effective as other specialised pet carrying vessels. Made sense.
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
