    no?



    I have been lobbying for a Vesta battlecloak for a long time. it only needs that, to know everything.
    actually thats a good idea. give the vesta a lobi store battlecloak!

    No. Not just no, but bloody heck no.

    If you want a battle cloak on a ship, roll a Romulan or KDF. ;P

    psssst... the scimitar is probably done

    But we all knew that. the fact that today is june 26 and there has been no official mention of the dreadnought pack means one of two things.

    1. (more likely) the devs are behind schedule and are not talking about it to keep the hype down for something that is not done yet or even close to being done.

    2. (very unlikely but awesome if true) the devs are planning a surprise release to live play and they are intent on keeping it a secret.

    Either way, between the Azure update and the rare scimitars on tribble, they are working on something... something big.

    Can't wait.

    We've had Official Word from Bran that there won't be an Official announcement regarding the Scimitar until next week. :)

    Unofficially, there are pics of the console stats, the drones and vids of the playable Scimitar strutting it's stuff out on the web. :D

    Hope you have your Zen ready!

    Or the cynical option 3.

    The timing of their release is pinned to sales figures for master keys.

    With limited T5 ship options for Romulans that only leaves eg. the Tal'Shiar pair. From a business point of view it would make sense to delay the release of c-store ships until master key sales driven by players going for those two ships begins to wane.

    I disagree. Anybody willing to play the key game for ships will buy this anyway. If they are waiting it is to build hype and anticipation as I'm sure the most money is made on or near release of the item

    Only a bundle 3-pack? I was hoping you could buy it individually. 5000 zen is quite steep.

    I'd assume it is 2500 for one or 5000 for all three like the other 3 packs

    Could this be a giant shift to return to cruisers? The scimitar (and variants) most certainly won't be escorts, at least not with escort turn rate.

    The Tribble Gateway by the looks of it, and I wouldn't be surprised if that ship was under review for the Turn Rate and Hull, or the Gateway is bugged

    No the Turnrate, Hull ... is only a typo like the space stats of your ship when you are at gound.

    Hmm...if this is real...maybe they will be making each type more unique, I can't see 5/3 with 5 tac consoles and hanger (which I don't see in these). So if they're real maybe the tac version is all guns...maybe sci has a hanger?

    These pics just seems kinda fishy, with the motley crew of items and the second console in the engineering slots looks like a cloaking device...and all of those funny consoles that I don't recognize and none of them have the infinity mark like most universal consoles.

    Has there been any confirmed information on hangers? Is it a one hanger escort or is it a full carrier/dreadnaught carrier with two hangers? I want a carrier more then a crusier/escort. Thanks for the information guys. Cant wait to fly it either way.

    Its been confirmed from the UGC podcast it has 2 hangars 5 fore 3 aft all carrier pets now use a veteran system so the longer they stay alive the more powerful they become. Improved pet control and UI. 3 console set give thalron weapon ship is massive compared to other ships. 3 variants tac, eng, sci

    Hull is 52000, do the math, the turnrate IS 3. Thats the way Cryptic has always calculated turnrate, based on hull (well except for the Breen or Bugship)

    I can see it now, every STF, zillions of them damn things, and everyone of them mounting cannons. *smacks forehead*

    but if you use all 3 of the consoles it will have a turn rate of 5 (the usual gimmick to sell a 3 pack)

    DIAF Cryptic, you have ruined my childhood.

    ???? How would the hull be 5200? It should be more like 50,000 :cool:

    5200? So that means the Scimitar might as well be a paper mache ship..

    I guess I am stuck with my T'Varo bomber, because I am not flying a ship with 3 turn rate.

    Well my hopes were dashed about the Scimitar not being completely op if those stats are real...I mean 52k hull and 5/3 weapon loadout...if you're a Romulan why fly anything else?
