What i was thinking about is the use of the word "light". We have a light escort and a light cruiser. In Naval history light ships have often been used for intel gathering, spying, hit and run. So i assume their hull strenght and weapons are not so strong as we would expect them to be and the Guardian cruiser will be the new Tank but we still need more ships to fill the gaps. A real heavy escort and Sci ships.
BTW did anyone notice the difference between the 4 drawings of the guardian? (the big one and the 3 smaller ones on theright of that picture? Look at the nacelles and where they are connected to the struts(drawing-frond, top and side view-aft) so is that not a finished design or will the nacelles move? THe Romulan faeht seems to have swept wings. sometines down, sometimes up.
It isn't beyond the fact at all. Just because the truth isn't what you want it to be, doesn't mean it's false.
If you don't like what's on offer, wait until something comes along that you do like. T5-U is a perfectly reasonable alternative to T6. That's exactly the point of it! You are not FORCED to buy T6 if you don't want it, you just upgrade your existing ship.
If you refuse to see that, then i doubt you would be happy even if they literally just slapped a defiant skin over the Phantom, or the Prometheus over the Eclipse. They could just up and make the Galaxy itself a T6, you'd STILL find a way to complain about it...
Ill say this one more time for you. Slowly.

So telling me to wait isnt really going to work now is it? Because if I wait...It could be a while.

While there is no way of knowing for certain past experience tells us that DR will have a new Lockbox release and that additional ships will be offered in both the C and Lobi Stores within 60 days of the Launch.
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 mean, they're not beautiful, certainly, but they're not unrecognizable as Fed ships. They're a rather unique spin on traditional Federation designs, hardly any more outside the box than the Defiant was for its time.
I think a lot of it is people being on edge over the upgrade thing, afraid their favorites are going to be rendered useless, and resisting the new stuff as a knee-jerk reaction. I doubt these will ever be called "iconic" or even "great" but I feel peoples' opinions on them will soften with time.
Now the Dyson ships. Those are ugly and unrecognizable.
Nah, the Fed Dyson ship is totally recongizable. Just also totally ugly.
But the Romulan is neat. Reminiscent of the Whitestars. Though I see a strong risk that the new Warbird BattleCruiser could be more awesome in looks, if only because it also gets the Romulan materials.
What I don't get is how Cryptic seems to really struggle with the Fed ship design aesthetics, like they are getting progressively worse. The Oddy is ok but the rest of the 2409 ships look pretty terrible. However on the rare occasion the KDF is graced with a ship they nail the design and aesthetic consistently every time.
So the new ships are slowing evolving in to what future Fed star ships will look like.
I think the new ships look great.. my only pet peeve is the skin they used.. and the Devs said in a future blog they will be showing the new ships with some of there customizations and different hulls.

Now don't get your hopes up. All that was said was to 'keep an eye out for future blogs' when asked about customisation. I know it sounds suggestive, but they didn't actually say there was going to be customisation.
I mean, back when the removal of the clusters leaked, I was told the same thing when I asked if there was going to be a replacement exploration system; and all the blog ended up doing was confirm that they were being removed.

Yeah, maybe. So ... wait a while?
