    With how engy heavy the dread still is would it of killed you to give it 2 hangar bays?

    Still not even close to the scim.

    Still going from facepalm bad to in the range of useable bad is an improvement.

    And this is the Federation scimatar? lol
    Still useless. Beautiful, canon and a ship that I really want.. but still usless.

    Nice try, but I stay with my free Gal when I do some rolplay.

    Great news, this will make a lot of people happy.

    The blog mentions a Galaxy bridge...is this a new, series-accurate bridge? Are there any screenshots available?
    You're right. The work here is very important.

    Gonna have to access the blog directly - your link keeps giving me a 502 Bad Gateway. Guess you didn't lock all seven chevrons.

    Is the Monarch skin available on all variants, and is the Gal-X set up to use Envoy, Celestial, and Monarch skins or just the Galaxy and Venture?

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    That's great news but will there be any additions to the gal-r? If you gave the dread a ensign uni why not implement that change on the standard galaxy too?

    I just reread the blog and I just realized something: they D'Deridex'd the Galaxy! The Saucer Sep and Antimatter Spread gives us a two piece bonus here.

    ... that's neat!

    I think it's the Galaxy bridge pack already in the C-Store, so slightly accurate and far too big.

    Sorry for the Bad gateways, I think we broke the internet with the Galaxy announcement. Everyone is flooding the site in disbelief :)

    Glad everyone is so excited, we have been waiting all week with baited breath to tell you about this awesome reboot!

    Fleet Dreadnought details will be arriving next week!

    Hmm... not sure about this. Cool news and all that, but I was expecting a bit more than a switch from Ens. Tac to Ens. Uni and a hangar...

    Will the Fleet Dreadnought's be any different than just +10% stats and a console? A Lt.Cmdr. Uni perhaps? Because the "reboot" still doesn't address the fact that cannons are basically worthless on this ship, with the boff layout allowing for only one cannon ability.

    Also:
    If you purchase the Galaxy Bundle, you can claim the Galaxy Bridge for Free in the C-Store.
    If I already own all three ships I guess I won't be eligible for the free bridge?


    On a side note, I was hoping for more Fleet ships than just the Dreadnought. Especially for the KDF.
