Xindi Speculation thread

mustrumridcully0mustrumridcully0 Member Posts: 12,963 Arc User
The Xindi made an appearence in the latest Featured Episode. It appears the Xindi are now a Federation member species, and it makes me wonder if Xindi ships might be a future wave of starships being brought into the game. Be it as lockbox, individual ships, or ship packs:

Here are some ship pictures I found:

Insectoid Ship

Primate Ship

Aboreal Ship
There isn't really good material, and it was apparently a reuse of another ship, the Arkonian miliary vessel:

Considering that "Voyager content" was asked for, i am not sure if this is really on the agenda any time soon. Still, might be nice to have the material. These ships would be canon designs (of course, they should be theoretically totally obsolete, but we also got the D'Keyr and an Andorian ship, so that's no problem).

I think some of them look interesting enough.

    The Xindi have been members of the Federation in STO ever since the doff system came out a few years ago.

    That said, I'm all about supporting new ships.

    I also have the suspicion that the Iconians are up to something and manipulating stuff. Maybe even use the Romulans for their dirty work. [/Slowpoke]
    I think it was somethnig I already knew and then forgot / was not sure about anymore. I wasn't playing the game for a while and memories fade.

    I would definitely love to play a Xindi species and have Xindi boffs. I would buy that from the C-Store in a heartbeat! I really do not believe they will flood the game with Xindi ships, though. Putting Xindi stuff into the game does nothing to help the KDF and Rom players unless they do it in a Lockbox of some type.
    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.

    I'm banking on Xindi as playable species at some point, although i'm not entirely sure Cryptic are going to go all in and do all their ships too. To be fair, i'm more certain that the Xindi will include the Arboreals and Primates but I can see the Reptilians and Insectoids being left out.

    Aquatics are off the table for obvious limiting reasons.

    I agree that it would be more realistic than playable Cardassians, what with the Dominion vs. non-Dominion thing. Problem is the Cindy aren't part of the LoR/Dyson/Tuvok thing. A lockbox is realistic, but there would only be one ship (probably a Reptilian battle cruiser). I dunno. It was cool to see it. Speaking conceptually I think the Xindi was ENT greatest achievement. It took the idea of Dominion to a new level. I just wish it was done better.

    I'm a big Xindi fan, so I totally support whatever Xindi ships they put into the game.

    What I meant is as a Federation playable species, not as a faction in their own right.

    Still pretty sure Cryptic will do a Cardassian faction at some point in the future.

    No way, I want the Insectoids more than anything. GIANT BUGS FTW! :D

    I doubt we will see playable Xindi, on account that it's made up of five different species and everyone wants one species over the other. I think all we're getting is a Lockbox and a featured episode with Xindi guest stars. Then they're going to drop them and we will never hear from the Xindi again.

    And no more factions until Klingons and Romulans have a decent C-store selection! I want more clothes!

    ^I read that in the voice of a teenage girl for some reason. If Xindi ever appear, we shall find the lost Xindi-Avians in the Delta Quadrant. I declare it!

    I think their appearance may have just been to make the comparison to the sphere builders incident.

    I don't think it's that too outlandish.

    With all I found on the Xindi, the Avians suspected the sphere builders. Then a cataclysm struck and they vanished.

    I don't think they went extinct, I mean even the Aquatics had starships. I think they're in hiding thinking the sphere builders are still up to no good, and we're gonna run across them somewhere.

    If it is a lockbox, I'm guessing it will be a battleship. Reptillian or Insectoid seem most likely. There's always the possibility of outfits -- James the Time Traveler's gear is in game. Personally, I'd like Reptillian armor.
