Cannons, from Risa with love.

The Risian Corvette looks awesome. But we are talking about the most peaceful planet in the universe hear and this thing can fit cannons. Any one else see a problem with that? Change the commander tactical with the lt commander engineer or remove the ability to fit cannons. A true beam escort would be pretty cool, and in keeping with the racy looking hull. cannons mean spending too much time in reverse.

    I agree. This ship shouldn't even have weapons at all, since it's from the "most peaceful planet", let alone making it into the next Escort with cannons...

    I swear, some of you don't read anything...

    In the fluff text it says the ship was design by Risa as a pleasure yatch and race-ship. The Lobi Consortium bought the license to manufacture and they armed it.

    Lobi Consortium. The one that Cryptic invented as a way of making an elite group of non-Federation and non-KDF ships become available to players of either faction.

    Lobi Consortium. A Cryptic fiction.

    Sorry, I stick to Star Trek established canon, and not the left-field filler explanations.

    So a soverain class vessel cant fit dual heavy cannons because they require intrinsic design choices that were not made during the ships inception, but the lobi consortium experienced no difficulty modifying a risian design? sure I buy that.

    Would've been nice if this was a special vanity ship that could be used for starship racing.

    Just an idea. :rolleyes:

    Because vacation cities don't have police or military forces around to maintain their status as a tropical paradise. Ever crossed the zone in most resort cities that tourists are encouraged not to cross?

    It would honestly make more sense if they hadn't added the fluff text that it's meant to be a pleasure yact or racing ship.

    You're really playing the wrong game then.

    By the mid-24th century, Risa had developed a reputation as being a most peaceful planet where weapons weren't allowed.

    On the surface. It's also made quite clear that armed ships are allowed in orbit and that they have the (imperfect) ability to prevent those ships from landing or transporting weapons to the surface.

    True, but having a defensive patrol ship and a Warship are two different things.

    The Risian Corvette can be defensive and have limited weapons slots like the Tuffli Freighter; but turning it into a full-fledged Escort (read: warship) is a different matter.

    This is what I hoped for. It looks like a racer, so it should be a racer. This ship with no weapons plus a couple of space track maps would have been fun, even a new daily after the event to compete in a few races for marks and Dil.

    Oh well, at least I don't have to grind a tiresome task 25 times this time.

    From the blog:
    Although the Risian Lohlunat Summer Festival will continue to be available well into August, Lohlunat Pearls will only be offered as a reward from ?Flying High!? for a total of 35 days, starting June 27th and running until August 2nd. During this time, players will need to participate 25 times in order to earn their FREE Starship.

    Why only battleships? We need other special ships. Like the freighter in the past.

    Why not a social and RP ship from Risa? With comfortable quarters, a bar, a disco etc.?

    Addressing another complaint - it can mount cannons, but if you want to run a beam-boat, it mounts 4 weapons forward and 3 aft. You can make them all beam arrays if you want. (Given that you have to be lvl 40+ to fly this ship, though, I'll probably stick a torpedo launcher or two in there, maybe a turret or mine-launcher...)

    I don't see the problem here, it's like crying that Q from MI6 puts machine guns on a Lamborghini and gave it to "00" agents because the car is not "a military vehicle".

    It was originally designed by Risans, then an outside party gave it weapons, it's not wrecking Risa's canon in the LEAST.

    hahaha. just loved that post. kinda shows how much a fail it is this ship release. first I thought it was a fail from the creative perspective, as it was a rly good opportunity to just release a simple ship, that would probably be good for travelling in sector space, perhaps for tour the universe.
    but now I see, that not only that, but it makes a rly stupid excuse for not being creative at all :D

    Wise man say, Running fast turning ship that can mount cannons with beams like wearing inappropriate Hawaiian shirt to funeral. Get shouted at lots.
