but like it non the less
A cruiser I'll actually want to use.
Cool.
Edit: Woo! Page one!
"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."

Lt Cmd Sci. & Lt + En Tac.
3/4/2 console layout.
For both ships.
The Kamarag is awesome and while I wish the Ambassador had a slightly higher turn rate I'd be afraid it'd be too powerful with one.
Can't wait to see what silly consoles come on the c-store versions that no one will ever use, because you can only put them on these boring cruisers.
who brought the good news bear? someone bring him a cookie.

My thoughts exactly. I like flying cruisers, but I also like science captains. Science oriented cruisers? Yes, please!
BTW, the Kamarag with that turn rate, the ability to cloak and although not mentioned but probably the ability to use dual cannons (like every klingon cruiser) seems very sexy to me and it will be fun to fly!
Shut Up Wesley! (Sorry, Couldn't resist!)
Pretty nice for free ships... I'm looking forward to hear what the c-store version/s will have to offer.
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
The Kamarag:
Seeing the aft of the Kamarag, it is a nice transition cruiser between the K'T'inga and the Vor'cha. Though guess they upgraded the design for the 5th Century Nacelles.
But I have to ask the team, if the design was named after Ambassador Kamarag (Klingon Ambassador in the movies), I assume you killed him off before he made it to the mid 24th Century for the High Council to bestow the honor of naming ship class after him?
We going to hear the story of the honorable way he died in combat?
The Ambassador:
As for the looks of the Ambassador, as pointed out, too bad there is no Zhukov variant for the refit. Still, believe the STO Ambassador's nacelles look larger than the actual model.
Almost no one is going to get it? I'm completely certain that's not going to be the case. In fact, by tomorrow evening, I predict if you warp into Sol, Ambassador class ships will be the majority of the ones you see.
will the kamarang replace my ktinga? good question. -1 very important flow cap console, -.5 turn, having to give up ether RSP2 or ET3 for something LTC sci. hmm, tough one
the ambassador will be fun to play with, but that second ens tac will go a bit to waist, with 2 AtB i don't need 2 TT, it cant use torps to any effect, BO1 sucks, i guess i could run beams and have BO2 and FAW1 for garbage duty
Yep, though it was constructed 30 years before the galaxy class it is vastly superior to it. It is also on par with the galaxy retrofit, which was outfitted with technology that's 80 years after the Ambassador was constructed. Makes sense to Cryptic, I suppose.
Yeah, you'll see it everywhere for a few days, maybe even a week. Then everyone will move back to their ships that aren't awful.
+1
I applaud you good Sir!
