Playable Suliban Cell Ship?

Just saw this on the game's Facebook page. What the heck is this all about? It looks like one of those squidbots from The Matrix. :eek:

    That...is one ugly mother. I'd have banked on it being a Lockbox ship but it looks to be a C-Store one. So I would also bet that Suliban Species and Boffs aren't too far behind.

      Honestly, i'm surprised to see this given that the Dev's have been flying around Tribble showing off their Scimitars.

      it will have a separation thingie, or to move the individual things. unless the devs were lazy to implement good ideas :)

      The current lock box is too new.

      Yeah just saw this on the FB page, and it is crazy looking. I do hope it leads to Suliban showing up in the Z-Store, too. Maybe either as a Romulan Republic-specific race, or a more generalized one.

      Yeah, cidstorm's hit the nail on the head. Normally, new lockboxes are preceeded by an "X Lockbox is being discontinued" announcement. Since the Tal Shiar one is still pretty fresh, my money says this is going to be a C-Store for Romulans. I would also put money on it being a Science ship.

      I bet this will be the special reward in the new duty officer pack.

      they old one had the freighter, and they have said a new pack is coming, and i think they mentioned something new inside in an interview so im guessing these will will go together.

      a cell ship does not strike me as a big combat ship and they have already used them in game as trade vessels, so i would expect it to be like the tuffli.

      also looks pretty cool.

      Thanks for the clarification, still more info in found on these social networking sites since LoR launch than HERE on STO's official site (not counting all the advertisements), a bad habit is forming by the company.

      Oh WOW what a crazy looking ship. Cthuluu has risen. I wonder what its stats are. When I look at it, some how I hope it can wrap its tentacles around a ship and pierce the hull with a beak to spew boarding parties into the enemy hull. You know, kind of like a weird analogy to a face hugger from the Alien movie franchise... LOL. I would so buy it.

      I guess we will all find out in about 2-4 hours. It says there is a dev blog today about it. I'm hoping Tuffli like ship inthe c-store, but I know I will probably be disappointed.

      Heh, just saw it, not much more than a freighter. They should swap the corvette specs with this ship.

      Yeah, just saw it too. Well, one of my Romulan's will probably get this, hopefully the EC prices aren't too much. I still wish the Risan corvette was like this this and this was the combat ship.

      Also, notice the cloak?

      Just wondering, did they ever fix the space exploration missions so that they scaled with rank? I remember I could usually fight off whatever I found in a shuttle. It wasn't easy, but still if its still like it was before F2P, you might be able to do exploration missions in this ship, which would be cool.

      Did you see the hull and armament? If I were a freighter captain, with weak defense and almost no offense, I'd love a cloak. The more I can avoid fights/pirates/raiders on the way to my commercial destination, the better.

      So when are you doing commercial cargo runs in STO , and fearing pirates and raiders ? ?

      My imagination only spans the available mission list and I don't recall any commercial cargo transport missions.

      Me? I don't do it. But NPCs and unseen characters in the background do it. And this is their ship. And they would want a cloak, given their ship's other specifications. So they have one.

      It makes sense cannonically, and as a practical and credible matter given the setting and circumstances of the game.

      Why does the player need it? He doesn't. Noone NEEDS anything in this game.
