    How much will it cost?

    I mean, I'm going to buy it, but it would be nice to know.

    Also: Any chance we could see a picture of this beauty from below, with the underside lit up?

    Edit: Is it just me, or does the fleet version with alternate pylons make the 'Vengie look like the Luna took steroids?

    Thanks!

    The stats look pretty nice. I might not get one immediately, I probably will wait until I have enough Zen to buy one presuming the cost is reasonable at either 2000 or 2500 zen.

    This looks fantastic. That V.A.T.A. console goes well for me since my Fed engineer is a torpedo boat. My Chell Grett may have to go to drydock after almost a year. Quick question though. The Redshirt stats showed 1.1 Shields on the Z-Store and 1.21 on the fleet variant. Typo or change in stats?

    Also ceekayzero, from my experience it should be 2000 Zen since it is a VA, 9 console ship.

    Hope the whiners are happy about the Shield Nerf.

    Also, how much? No price in the Blog.

    The Fleet version's flat pylons makes it look like Perpetual's version of the Enterprise-F. But with less of the "dog dragging its rear across the lawn" feel that I got from that design.

    This looks like it shaping up to be quite an impressive ship. Looking forward to being able to fly it.

    Good thing you've lowered the Shield Mod from 1.2 to 1.1, but I still think the overall stats make most of the other Federation cruisers obsolete.

    On the other hand, I'm happy the Fleet version doesn't require Tier 5 shipyard, but just Tier 4.

    just a bit of a shield nerf i see, thats no problem. cant wait to get this! the optional pylon looks nice too. the Variable Auto-targeting Armament is clearly inspired by those weapon orb things the vengeance had

    no inertia score in the stats, again! thats something that will define this ships character more then anything else! especially if you stack turn consoles, and many people will

    I am actually. Breadth > Power Creep. Disappointing the BOFF layout is still so close to the Regent, but hey, partial adjustment better than none at all. :D

    Also, VATA looks cool. And its interesting to see that Console Synergy is now a thing on non-Romulan ships; here's hoping it spreads!

    I am in the same boat... I never thought I'd leave my Chell Grett... but maybe for this one :)

    And really, why the shields change, ugh :(

    They didn't nerf the shields.

    The screenshots were of the fleet tier upgraded version.

    You can see the partial armor I described on the warp engine field grilles. I also mentioned some of the windows "disappear" in red alert mode :)

    Cheers,

    Try looking at the V.A.T.A. Cruiser Command Influence ? Strategic Maneuvering picture, there are little inserts on the warp pylons along the blue bits, I think that is what they are talking about.

    Also, I see mention of Console Synergy, but is this a case of some further bonus if you have both consoles equipped, or not?

    question, will these be the only two Appearances for it, or will it be able to use costumes from other ships like the Regent can?

    I'll probably get one anyway, but i'm curious , i love customisation

    The original Shields were 1.1 and 1.21, now they're 1.0 and 1.1.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Could a Dev or Branflakes please confirm the prices?




    Those things are normally included in devblogs, and it'd be nice to know how much to purchase beforehand :P

    As BranFlakes stated a few times that it wouldn't I'm not sure why you thought it would. :)

    Its a terrible ship, a BATTLE SHIP should have a strong hull, not made out of tin cans...

    I do not think Craptic know what a battle ship looks like!

    http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/USS_Yamato_(NCX-5626-V)

    That is what a battle ship looks like, its slow moving, however can take many targets out in the same area. Honestly, oh and the hull is made from some really strong stuff!

    Does that translate to 50 on the display or are you having fun with us like in Bran's Tweet? (We see the Galaxy has a 25 in the in-game UI)
