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!

or maybe somebody decided that would be a good idea upload the blog from a galaxy class starship holodeck :cool:
really great news this one now i have one more reason to buy a galaxy i already had one i watched the TV show when was a kid now finally that baby get some attention from dev's
But I noticed somethijng that reminded me of a question I have had for a long time, and I'm not sure if it has ever been answered, since this newly enhanced Galaxy is coming and the fleet variant as well, I see it will be at T4 Starbase level. Why is it that so many ships are falling there, and an older ship that isn't exatly over powered or anything that I can tell other than being iconic; read the Intrepid is stuck at Starbase T5 for the fleet variant, why oh why?
Anyways, good things seem to be happening, maybe this Intrepid lover will get what she wants some day too! :P
The set bonus for having the two consoles slotted is pretty underwhelming, especially if you're a member of a fleet and have any access to the dilithium engineering consoles.
Stop Catering To The Federation! No More Fed Ships Until Kdf And Rom Are Equalized
It isn't another Federation ship. It's just a reworked existing one. The Negh'var (hopefully) will be due soon, then they can fix the windows and add them lower nacelles/weapon ports under the hull like it's suppose to have. :P
Wonderful news, the bundle price makes getting them tempting now. So with feds getting two-piece set bonuses when can we expect that to filter down to the Thunderchild and Armitage classes? Please just a little begging here for something in them that would auto trigger their use or really reduce the cool-down time or a bonus to turret and photon torpedo dmg.
Space is vast, it's wonderful and maddening. Yet in that madness is some of the greatest beauty I have ever seen.
I'm happy that the galaxy is finally getting a tech update but it could really use an art one as well. The ship looks horribly modeled, any chance we could get a nice new curvy model. Loved what you guys did with the scimitar :cool:
No. The DD is a cruiser, not a dreadnought. Hence, it gets no Hangar Bay, just like it's Fed and Klink counterparts (the Galaxy Retrofit and the Negh'Var) don't have hangar bays.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
From what i read here its more of a cosmetic revamp and will not bring up the fed dread even close to being a usable ship. Even more sadly no change to the lance not even visually. So it will still have bad accuracy and miss constantly.
Its like an only bling and no meat update. No frigate pets and only usual fleet stats for the fleet dread.

If it's a cruiser then it should have comm array commands.

Agree, too bad the rest of the players that waited for 3 years for this change are "omg a new bundle" and in one month is going to be " What is your beef with the Galaxy Cryptic? II"
wow, hopefully one new kdf ship. that answers the kdf's issues how, compared to the 36+ the feds have?
I'm, perhaps foolishly, holding out that the matching Guramba fleet version will launch with season 9, so they didn't feel the need to include it in this blog about a much larger (comparatively) galaxy rework. Although the fleet galaxy-x being available in the fleet store already next week is certainly depressing from a KDF lineup standpoint
The universal ensign is a joke. If players use the Galaxy dread tactically they'll still put a tac ensign in there. If they want eng or science, there are better ships for that like the Odyssey.
The set bonus isn't strong enough. The turn rate buff is unnecessary when separation fixes the turn problem. More buffs to hull would have been better.
The hangar pet is the one good thing. While fighters drop like flies anyway, they are still of some use. Here's hoping they also fixed the lance mechanic so that it actually hits a target and give the Fleet version four tac consoles.
I've got a better question, is the ship art fixed? for at least a year or more, the Cannons, the Phaser lance and the third nacelle have all been off centre.
Ok Ive been waiting for this for a long time, but Im a little concerned.
I currently fly the T5 retrofit. Will I notice any major difference for a start, as sofar it just looks like an update for the dreadnaught.
Secondly...Will we be getting any texture/model improvements along with it. The model is quite outdated compared to current 2409 ships.
Thirdly what is this free bridge? Im aware of the Galaxy bridge "pack" which I own (and it's not that accurate for a start. Probably look ten times better with the new LCARS textures that have been updated with season 8 though) but it says "free Galaxy bridge". Sounds to me as if there is a new stand alone bridge being released with the bundle. I could be wrong, but I hope that is the case.
Would be sweet if we at least get a more accurate hull material that matches the Galaxy from the shows.

So much this.
I was super excited when I first read it. Now that it has sunk in its more like wtf.

The boff seating is still quite unfortunate, but good to see some small tweaks.

It's still a Dreadnaught Cruiser, same Cruiser Commands...take a look at the Bulwark (not Bastion).
It's a Warbird...that takes precedence over it being a Battle Cruiser.

I'll be honest, I was at least expecting a couple of fleet BoPs or mid-tier Raptors for the KDF, too.
