I spotted a "Klingon shuttle" design in the Foundry, but even after searching STOwiki I can't guess at its identity. Can someone help me out?

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    It's in the patch notes actually.

    They redesigned the basic Klingon Toron shuttle to look like that, so it was more analogous to the Federation Runabout.

    The revised Toron.

    Also in the Foundry, the Kivra uses the old Toron Model.



    Honestly, it still bothers me Cryptic revised the Toron with the new look when the Toron was this:

    So have its stats changed as well?

    i don't understand that change either...

    the Toron Shuttle was fine as it was, it looked good and it was the counterpart to the Federations free Type 9 Shuttle, maybe not in Stats but in everything else, you get it for free and it is small and squishy.

    The KDF does not have nearly as many Shuttles as the Feds have, so why replace the Toron with a new visual instead of ADDING the new Visual as a new Shuttle?

    The old Toron was the counterpart to the Type 9 Shuttle, the new Toron is a counterpart to the Runabout that you get for EC at DS9 (well at least it was like that some time ago, i guess its Dilithium or Zen now?), so why not sell that new Shuttle the same way at Ganalda or so?

    *confused about Dev logic* what were they thinking?


    And it is NEVER a good idea to replace an item that i have in my inventory, you Devs can never know how i, the random player, will react to that.

    Why didn't they just keep the original Toron and add this ship as a new class? KDF need more shuttles.

    I bet originally, the new shuttle design was meant to be a new cstore shuttle.....
