    I think this, especially since screenshots of the X separating have been posted around 2012 already - it seems a reasonable period of time for Cryptic to get it working :D Although making the dreadnaught separatable is a dread-ful idea. The point of that "lance" is that the ship is no longer able to separate. Then again, STO and Cryptic make up their own lore as they go, so...

    Well, it is only 7 AM in California, and they do not usually put up new Blogs until around noon, so I think we have some time yet. :)
    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.

    Nimbus Reputation


    Go to a new end level instance of Nimbus III, battle the Elachi, Tal shair and merciless Pirates as the Federation, Klingon Empire and Romulan Republic try to restore order.

    Grind through a new reputation which will reward the Nimbus Marauder equipment.

    That would be my guess.

    I think it would have to be galaxy-x if anything. with all the teasing of the galaxy-x lately I doubt it could be anything bigger than that.

    in fact after reading facebook looks even more likely after seeing some of the comments I hope galaxy-x guys are going to be happy later. it is long over due!

    I would speculate that it's a Dreadnought carrier, wich makes sense for the Galaxy X.

    If it is, it's more than likely a C-Store option, and I doubt it's a fleet Galaxy X

    I'm thinking that there will be an Arc class as part of an Arc pack (sort of like Steam with the Steamrunner class). You can see my speculation in the Federation Shipyards part of the forums.

    And I think that they'll introduce a 'Fail' class, with a Noob subclass, particularly suited to being catastrophically bad at STFs.

    That made me laugh :D

    Very unlikely the the new Galaxy-X would be a mirror version.

    A: Mirror ships have only ever dropped as a lock-box prize
    B: Aside from slight changes to the BOFF and console layout it wouldn't be significantly different to the existing one
    C: It probably wouldn't sell as well as a 'new and improved' C-store or fleet version.

    They've never done a mirror version of a C-Store ship.

    The mirror time ships are Lobi ships.

    Well, we have no pure federation carrier, and the cat carrier is not a true federation design, like the Intrepid, Excelsior and other designs.

    Making the Galaxy X into a Dreadnought carrier would end the cries for a federation carrier, and besides, the Galaxy X is certainly a good fit, unless they want to use that four nacelled space barn...

    The Typhoon might do as a carrier, but I'm not holding my breath that we will ever see the Typhoon as a playable ship, wich is sad, since I have allways liked that ship since the first time I saw it in game.

    Plus we need to assume that the X is more of a combat ship, thus that huge saucer is not full of 1,000 families riding around the galaxy for the fun of it. That means far more space to hold a lot of other "stuff." :)

    It will be interesting to see if it does get the 1 Hanger Geko talked about as a possibility.
    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.

    It's my understanding that we got the cat carrier because CBS said no to a Starfleet full carrier, so the only way Cryptic could bring Fed players a carrier was by digging up an alien one as the Atrox.
