    It leaked on Tribble (Costume in the Foundry) ... check Google "Risian Cruiseliner" ...

    Yeah, it's not a particularly good-looking ship.

    I like the looks of the corvette myself. A fleetmate uses it with the Gladius console and is unbeatable in cap-n-splode PVP matches, given a halfway decent team. The thing's MADE for hit-and-run attacks.

    In fairness, it could just as well be meant to be a NPC only ship, but I agree: This is prob this years summer grind as horrible as that may sound.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    looks to me like the ship design has been inspired by lionfish.

    Greetings,

    I'm not sure if it's a ship we will encounter, or a ship we will claim after the events, but there are pictures on the STO Academy forum of the ship, and the surfboards....

    Good. Now my main character can retire from Starfleet, and pursue his life long dream of starting the first space-faring whorehouse. Think Mustang Ranch in SPAAAAAAAAACE!!!

    What I'm curious to know is if we'll finally get a luxurious bridge for it and the Corvette.

    I love the pool that you can see through the windows. I hope the water turns fluorescent green if you put the Reman shield on it.

    Please ... this just looks terrible. Last year's Risian corvette was bad enough in terms of looking NOTHING like any Trek ship we've ever seen. If the devs bring this wannabe Star Wars ship to STO I am just going to boycott the summer event completely.

    If you want a "cruise ship" with solar sails then just make a "slightly" modified (larger) version of the Bajoran solar sail ship from DS9 and make up a story about Risa partnering with Bajor to make personal solar sailing ships available for purchase ... and that Starfleet authorized to placement of weapons on board for "defense."

    I'd rather see a modified Bajoran ship from DS9 in STO than whatever the heck that other ship is.

    I'm not saying the devs shouldn't create new ships ... but I am saying the new ships should look like they belong in Star Trek and not something else.
    In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."

    Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.

    Because giant green and black cubes filled with techno-zombies definitely sounded like Star Trek before TNG aired. And let's not talk about the giant spikey cigar hidden in a 2-AU cloud and created from a human probe that became self-aware from the Slowmotion Picture..

    The few observations I do have:

    1) It looks like those sails can be stowed away in the wings, sort of like the Scimitar wings unfolding before firing their Thalaron pulse. So perhaps having the sails out grants some sort of speed or turn rate bonus?

    2) I also see different layouts for that huge garden/party deck, the only same feature being the statue thing in the middle. I suspect these are just ideas or examples, and that the final design can not be changed. But it would make the space somewhat useful if players could tailor it to their liking.

    And that's about it. The looks don't do anything for me at all, so I won't be getting one. I'd prefer something sleeker, like the luxury liner we see in the 5th Element film - a Titanic in space kinda deal.

    1) sounds very plausible
    2) makes me think we should be able to enter that area via the "visit starship bridge" option

    i'll admit, if that thing can carry some proper firepower, it might fit in with my romulans "mercenary" RP

    Yeah sorry but the Bajoran Solar-Vessel was not exactly a Cruise-Ship, if anything the exact opposite ... sounds like an horrible idea ... that thing was more like an "Bajoran Phoenix" ... not sure what's the connection, with some please planet, they could as well turn Zefram Cochrane's Rocket in Cruise-ship ...

    So from these screenshots I have concluded the following...

    If we want the new ship or the corvette, we'll send 25 days grinding for it.

    (Assuming it'll be like the last one)

    If we want some epic surfboards... we'll spend X time grinding for it.

    (Grinding favors is... fun?)

    If we want to reenact Jaws 2 with swimwear, we'll need to grind for it... then wait for sharks to be added.

    (More favors!!!!)

    and this during most of us grinding the Undine rep?

    (The weak will perish.)

    Devs... Mercy!!!!

    Honestly? The design of that thing really isn't all that bad. It could have been a Deferi ship - I find it unfortunate that it's just a jokeship (and features probably more firepower than half of Starfleet's capital cruisers :P )

    Well... at least the devs are giving us two free ship slots, to give an excuse to get one of these with.

    *check to see if the bleeding has stopped, from the last Mirror event grind... dang it, the Undine made them bleed again...*

    I have only two characters that would have any reason to use this cruise liner if it is indeed what we are getting. Therefor, they are the only two that will be grinding for the ship.

    I'm really only interested if we can get a cruise ship captain's uniform to go with the ship.

    What a well designed ship! This will definitely look great in my fleet of Excelsiors, Nebulas, Galaxy-Xs, Ambassadors etc! [/sarcasm]

    If they make this thing the playable STF-beater, then I don't care what the stats will be. It'll be pretty easy....... I won't have an additional grind to do.

    I wonder if it will have a defense bonus like the other Risa ship had? Or maybe some unique DOff missions available to it?
