Gorn Ships

edited June 2014 in Klingon Discussion
I was drowsing the different Tier ships tonight was curious about the Gorn ships
since I just rolled one. I was disappointed to see that their were only three of
them. I'd like to ask the Dev's how they fell thru the cracks. I realize a lot can
happen with The Federation, Klingon and Romulan players saying I want this ..this
ans this. I would like to know if any T-4 Gorn ships will be added at a later date.

    People have been asking for more Gorn, Nausicaan, Lethean and Ferasan vessels for quite some time now. As it takes about two years for them to release a C-Store ship for the KDF, I wouldn't hold my breath.

    LMAO. I mean come on. The ship models are already in the game. I guess cryptic ran out ideas for universal consoles, or just lazy. It's not like they have to do so much. OMG. Aye Cryptic let me do it. I'll design the ship bridge officer layouts and universal consoles... And no, you don't have to pay me.
    The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.

    My point is that it took about two years between the release of the T5 Bortas and the T5 Mogh. I conveniently left out the T1 and T2 Birds-of-Prey, ;).

    Can add in what Geko mentioned in the one podcast about wanting to do more actual KDF ships as opposed to member species ships...meaning since one shouldn't hold their breath for KDF ships, holding their breath for member species ships - yeah, lol...don't.

    -=-=-=-=-=-

    But yeah, when it comes to the Gorn...you're pretty much looking at a single T5 vessel that's also available in a Fleet version (just don't compare its stats to say a Fleet DSSV, cause you won't be happy).

    The Varanus and the Varanus Fleet...that's it for T5. There's the Draguas at T4 and Phalanx at T3...but they have no T5 variants. In a similar fashion, the Vishap Frigate, Tuatara Cruiser, Zilant Battleship, and Balaur Dreadnought are just Gorn NPC boats - not available to players.

    Many of the NPC models aren't of the same caliber as what a player would want...they'd have to touch them up. Course, it would be easier with KDF NPC models - since we all know they don't bother offering much in the way of customization for the KDF...

    Yeah, we've been saying this a lot - there are a couple of Gorn NPC ships that are in game and could be made playable with minor tweaks and polishes. They don't need to rebuild them from the root up, since players asking for them seem to like their basic design.

    It would be nice to have the Zilant for ex. as a cruiser type for Gorn captains that are limited to science ships if they want to fly their species specific ships.

    I bet you would do a good job also. When I posted this thread I was just thinking that it would be nice since I'm playing the game as an Gorn that it would be nice to have ships used by that species, so I started internet searching the STO ship charts to see what playable ships were out there and can away very disappointed that there were only three.

    They might have to do a re texture for them though, a lot of the NPC ships are in far lower detail than playable ones.

    It would be nice to get a cruiser with a science bias like the mirror Negh'var.

    But there is a significant difference between enemy faction models and playable ones. You don't need as much when you're simply throwing in a target to torp from 5km out plus the camera distance. This was very well pointed out when cryptic created the romulan sub-faction, as ALL of their ships had to undergo a significant graphical overhaul in order for them to stand up to any scruitiny. There's still a foundry mission or two which has the "old" models (just found one with an old scimitar, lol) but you can also check out the archived blog post which I believe covers this pretty well.

    The point is - it's still easier to do a visual overhaul than to build them from scratch.

    I asked a few times for the already existing species designed ships and never got an answer. Personally I like the Orion ships very much, but these available for players are good just as "fun ships" these days... A Ferasan vessel would be nice too, since I play as one.

    To go off-topic a little, they should make a Lethean ship as well.

    YES I want all the subservient species in the Empire to get a complete line of their own ships. 1 of each class spread out across every other rank lvl..
