Is it just me, or does it look like that they just took a Star Cruiser, made the saucer wayy too big and then made the hull and nacelles wayy too small? Im not a major trek fan but is it suppose to look like this?
...talking to players is like being a mall Santa. Everyone immediately wants to tell you all of the things they want, and you are absolutely powerless to deliver 99% of them.
I am curious if they are re-creating the interior of the ship, since they did such a good job re-creating the exterior. That episode had a ton of interior footage, and it would be a shame not to get that bridge into the ship. Perhaps a setup like the Welles Bridge?
Maybe the bridge, but the devs are on record saying that "full" interiors like the Belfast or Intrepid take weeks of work, so I wouldn't expect one.

I want to see the stats... I knew this was coming and being sold separately from the bundle. I just want to see the stats to see how it would compare to the tactical Vesta Class
Definitely a ship to consider buying. If they shaft it like they did with the Vesta though and not give it a unique bridge, I will not buy it. The console definitely sounds interesting though.

Looking for a new fleet? Drop by the in-game chat channel, "tenforwardforum", and say hi to the members of A Fleet Called Ten Forward (Fed) and The Orion Pirates (KDF). If you already have a fleet you are happy with, please feel free to drop by our chat channel if you are looking for a friendly bunch of helpful people to socialize with.
They could save themselves some space if they would just combine the announcement blogs with those that have actual info. :P
Why make one blog when you can make people come back multiple days in a row and get extra traffic to see the ads from other games. It's smart marketing.

The actual model looks very close, so gratz on that! Texture, not so much, but that can be fleshed out later (hopefully).
I'm looking forward to seeing the stats to pass along to my fleaties, since not many of them check out the forum. We have some hardcore sci-captains that would love to be-in-the-know.
I just hope we'll see another KDF and ROM ship added to the pack to appease the masses.
I'm also looking forward to when we can buy single ships, rather than the full pack. Not all of us play 3 factions. Do we have an ETA on that?
By the way Cryptic excellent marketing, no wonder that your customers don't buy your stuff.
1st rule of marketing of any selling is make it available to bigger audience.
That means don't pack all things in one pack and slap astronomical price on it. Pack it in smaller packs for example 2 ships 1 pack and then slap 50 $ on it.
In this way people will buy 1 pack for a decent price, and wider audience will buy it, that means that you will earn more money.
Price of Delta pack is too astronomical for me and no way that i will pay that kind of money for some pixels in the game.
Looks like it was edited. There was a tidbit that mentioned the Dauntless Class and an Intelligence Officer uniform.
I wish that wasn't an error in publishing and that's what it had.
Your wish is granted milady.
The Dauntless is a nice addition and all, but we're up to 5 T6 Federation ships in both available at launch and in the Operations Pack and only 2 each for the Klingons and Romulans. This would have been great in whatever Delta Rising lock box we get, being "completely alien in origin" and all, but really... can those of us with Klingon and Romulan characters have more options?
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
The Dauntless always made me think that if a Mon Calamari star cruiser and a Starfleet ship had a baby it would look like the that.
Yeah I can kinda see that
Personally I always thought this ship was a bit like certain cars, Great view from the front and some other angles, but when you get to see the back end I have no idea whats going on there, its a bit of an unusual ship
If anything this ship is the oddest looking of the bunch for me, and that includes every Ship original to STO and a lot of fan ships
These are the Voyages on the STO forum, the final frontier. Our continuing mission: to explore Pretentious Posts, to seek out new Overreactions and Misinformation , to boldly experience Cynicism like no man has before.......
So they just "found" plans for this thing laying around in the middle of nowhere? That's really the best excuse you could come up with?
Sure, what would you have in mind?
"And so did the lord god Q deliver unto the starfleet engineers a ship that looks like a shoe and said unto them 'give my children fan service!'"
They don't need more justification than "we've found the plans." Hell one dude on DS9 built a bajoran solar sailing vessel because he thought it'd be fun. Qualified people in the SFCE getting the same kicks came up with this. 'Nuff said.

2 Ships for 50$.. Yes, sounds good, there is some nice discount in it.

For reference: Dauntless class.
Maybe the bridge, but the devs are on record saying that "full" interiors like the Belfast or Intrepid take weeks of work, so I wouldn't expect one.
Nice!! Shell shocked.
The standard array of Federation hull materials (including the Type 6) will be available to this vessel, as well as the window & escape pod options.
Groovy.

Yeah, not a full interior, but if they didn't at least do the bridge, I would be highly disappointed.
Nearly that full episode was shot inside the faux Dauntless, so they captured alot of it from a variety of angles.

plans where? noone found the ship after voyager wouldn't the plans be on voyagers file drives u figured they would scan all of it and put on records.
Excellent. I don't suppose you could post some screens of that in type 6? Or maybe put some in the next blog that reveals its stats?

And yet another ship for the c-store and still no free promotion tier 6 ship. Nice.

Can someone please hold me in some strong manly arms? I am happy I could cry.
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.

Odd, I don't see any ads..... :P

That's cool because the default skin looks like TRIBBLE. That's good news.
