Season 9 Sneak peeks haven't talked about any new faction ships so far, isn't that odd for a Season Launch? Are we ONLY getting Lockbox ships for a full Season now? I am just wondering when is Cryptic going to start releasing new ships in groups instead of these 3 pack ships that are the exact same for each faction?
It's not as if we need new ships with every season, so it wouldn't hurt if we had a season without them. They'll make enough money from the Bioships to last them a while.
I don't see how we need any more new ships at this point. Boff layouts are pretty well represented among the factions for the most part. What will new ships offer but more creep?

Exactly, there are too many ships as it is already. We have a ton of ships availible in game, what we need is more end-game content of the challengng type to use them in.
I never understand what people do with all those ships that are constantly asking for more.

Klingons need more ships.
Both my Feds and my roms have more ships then they could really fly. But the Klingons? Not really...
I'd personally expect (finally) a new raider (or better a few^^) with the release of the improvements on raiders.
After all... The only "new" raider we ever got was the b'rel 3,5 years ago...

I would say that Orions and Gorn need more ships. Klingon designs bore me. OOH!!! Letheans and Ferasans! We don't have any of their designs yet do we? Or Nausicaan siphon drones? Maybe a Nausicaan flight deck science ship?
I've notice that Cryptic hasn't released any information at all on what's in the new lockbox, and there is already rage about them....So Cryptic does not even have to say anything and there will be rage....The Forums are always burning with something, and one just has to laugh
well it wont be a cardassian keldon.... klingon or Fed battleship
just another alien ............ship
so really wont matter will it
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
I'd like more faction ships. We don't even have the Challenger, Freedom, and Niagara configurations in the game yet. We don't have all that many ships that appeal to fans of the Starfleet of yesteryear either.
The Boff seating and stuff isn't really the issue for me (though, you know, some setups I like more than others); I just find that STO hasn't produced many ships that appeal to my taste visually yet.
I'm probably not going to be happy until I've got a Challenger configuration ship with Ambassador themed components or something.

I think it's safe to say -- although Cryptic will never actually say it -- that they have pretty much given up on the Klink. I still have an orphaned Klink alt to wit. Qo'nos, and that makeshift city of theirs, it all looks obsoleted.
Exactly, there are too many ships as it is already. We have a ton of ships availible in game, what we need is more end-game content of the challengng type to use them in.
I never understand what people do with all those ships that are constantly asking for more.
I must have more ships. Ships coming out of ships. More ships. MOAR. :mad:
Smirk said during one of his live streams that there will be a new Romulan ship coming out in season 9. But the exact launch date is unknown. I hope it's a non-hybrid Romulan science Warbird

This. Cryptic needs to finish up with the quality of life updates that have been needed for a long time (episode revamps) while they work on end-game content. Then focus solely on end-game content. Once end-game has a good length, they can go back to releasing things like ships.
I would not mind seeing a customization for a .5 season update after end-game gets somewhat bigger.
Everybody talking about how we don't need ships every season or what not. Nobody telling the OP we don't usually get ships on a season launch.
Season 6: Only the ships included in the fleet system.
Season 7: No new ships at launch.
Season 8: Only the few the spire and the FE.
And season 9 doesn't have a new fleet grind to bring in a couple new fleet ships.
We got ships after all three seasons launched, but not as part of the launch. We don't usually get ships as part of season launches, the big exceptions being season 5 and LoR, which respectively had the bulk of tier x.5 C-store ships for the F2P rollout and the initial Romulan lineup.

That's not odd at all. New ships are very rarely ever tied with season launches. I can only recall three times previously that they were (the Free to Play launch, Fleet upgrades, and Legacy of Romulus). Every other time, the ships have been released off-season or during limited-time events (Sphere of Influence launch, Summer and Winter events, Anniversaries, etc).
Should also be noted that Cryptic is running out of canon ships to release. The only ones left are either really old (Constellation, D-5, etc) or mostly background or kitbash ships (New Orleans, Niagra, Yeager). All of the canon Romulan ships are live, most of the Klingon ships are live, so any new ships on either front would be Cryptic-made designs.
IMO, I like my Solonae Sci Ship, with all of the bonuses that it gets from all 3 consoles plus the items from the Anniversary Version. Not sure that I want to gimp that up just to have to get the Space set for it's Fluidic Space maneuverability.

I agree we already have to many ships. I understand that lockbox ships is a major source of income (and the Jem'Hadar Attack ship is their major source of income).
I don't see how we need any more new ships at this point. Boff layouts are pretty well represented among the factions for the most part. What will new ships offer but more creep?
I've found out that some people literally collect ships. Which is strange to me because we can't even call our other ships to assists us in a fight.
One day Cryptic will be free from their Perfect World overlord. Until that day comes, they will continue to pamper the whales of this game, and ignore everyone that isn't a whale.

As soon as the announcement is made, there will be Rage.
There will be Rage.
how will cryptic tell? there is always rage, ether because of power creep or nerfing power creep if nothing else.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

except here on the forums, forums used by the 1%.
If you honestly think cryptic cares about the 1% complaining about anything, its time for you to move on.
I cant wait for the undine lockbox ships.

Face it, you've been replaced by Roms.

I think I may have a problem.
Nah, you just need another ship.
