I was under the impression the Scimitar would release on the same day as the Risa event started. What happened to that?

I'm not sure. Someone in the forums, but my poor memory doesn't seem to want to help me in finding who it is. (Searched about 3 different forums for it, no luck)

I'm not so worried about it unbalancing PVE or PvP. That main gun for all practical purposes is pretty useless.. That main gun requires you to sit in one spot while it charges, and even cloaked, your generating enough energy you'll stick out like a light bulb in a coal mine. The gateways, cubes and spheres are going to swarm on you like flies to cow patties, and those vaunted hulls and shields wont mean squat. We've all been getting one shotted from cubes and gates over the past couple weeks. Doesnt matter how crunchy your ship is, next to the gateway it may as well be marshmallow syrup. This ship design will be good for taking out those cubes and gates, but i makes me worried that Cryptic will once more buff the ESTFs to make them as impossibly difficult as they made the crystalline catastrophe..
I wouldn't worry about the Thalaron being OP. In PvP, people would've gotten out of the way long before it could fire. Which would easily leave the ship vulnerable. And in PvE, only things we could shoot at are Borg Cubes or Dreadnaughts in the Red Alerts, since regular NPCs would be moving too fast to stay in the cone.
Not to mention the blast likely would be toned down to the level of the Lance weapons on the Galaxy-X.

Even before the Risa Event, I myself was pretty adament they are saving the Scimitar for July 4th. And now we are starting to get details, its almost a guarantee now.
heh.. July 4th.. independence day. Great day to present a new ship, while the faction that should be flying it, continues to grovel at the feet of its fed and klingon masters.. But thats another thread..
The trick with the Scimitar and its Wave Motion Canon will be slowing targets and holding them in place, to do so is laughably easy in PVE but darn near impossible in PVP.
The Ha'Nom build that I'm using now focuses on hold and massive power drain, I can't wait to see what the Science Variant of the Scimitar has to offer has I think that my Current Build will transfer over to it nicely.
According to Terri of the G and T show has well has Podcast UGC the Scimitar has 5 forward weapon slots with 3 Aft and I think that will be pretty sweet.
Console slots will be extremely tight with the Scimitar has Terri also mentioned that we'd need to use all three consoles if we want the Thalaron Blast (hope this is not the case).
I can't wait to see how the Subspace jump console will work with the Scimitar and its Thalaron Blast.
Start Charging up your Thalaron Blast and watch your targets scramble to get out of its arc and then jump behind them just has it fires :P
I'm hoping that the Science Scimitar comes with the following console setup:

let it never be said that Cryptic has ever made anything that was as easy to loadout as it should be.. None the less. Although i remain quite enthusiastic about this ship, the fact that it has five forward weapons three aft, and the number of slots is the same as a light cruiser/heavy escort I cant help but feel that this is going to be the universes largest heaviest escort ever. Its a PvPers dream.. kind of...

And not because I don't have the Zen either, 'cause I do. It looks massive and tactical - I'm not sure that combination is for me, per se.
You will when you see it
