    Looks like everything is very Tac heavy.
    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.

    The Mat'ha Raptor is by far a beast. Out of all the ships, that one has the best (imo) consoles - Heavy Disruptor Spinal Cannons. Sustained barrage is an understatement; that thing is a machine gun.

    I think you should have made a sphere headed ship like the Olympic and its sister class ones.

    It must be close based on the 6.5 Turn Rate.

    Can the Guardian-class equip dual heavy cannons?

    It's a shame these are consoles rather than actual weapon types...

    Secondary deflector slot on Dauntless?! Does that mean that secondary deflectors are coming to other ships, too? And more importantly, will they come also to t5.5 sci vessels?

    Other than that, it seems that non-intel t6 ships have third lieutenant BOFF slot and none ensign slot instead of two lieutenant commander slots like intel ships have. Not sure I like it.

    Looks pretty good. I particularly like the Boff layout of the Guardian. Not quite so enthused about the turn rate though; just how big is this thing?

    Not surprised myself given how well the Andorian Wing Cannons went over...or rather how well they didn't. (Personally like them, but can't think of anyone else who does).

    Can the Guardian equip the saucer separation console? Also can we apply venture and galaxy skins to it?

    I might eventually get the guardian if I get bored with the FED intel cruiser but that Raptor is the star of the "standard" T6 ships. It actually fills a vacant niche within the KDF shipyards.

    Geko stated that Secondary Deflectors will be coming after Delta Rising - they are just focused on getting this Expansion out the door right now.

    What I was thinking too, just wanted a sense of scale. I do like the design. It's more solid and robust looking than the Odyssey, like it's meant for going into places where it'll need to be a bit more rugged to handle the rough stuff, but it still has the classic Starfleet lines.

    Should be very close to Galaxy class. The HP is close to the fleet version and it turns slightly better and it is with additional tac console, yet i bet the fleet Guardian will get 5th engineering.

    Doubtful. Its basically a take on the original Ambassador class concept art. If it has any interchangable parts the galaxy probably isn't going to the ship it uses.

    I'm pleased with the Dauntless info. Looks like it'll be fun! Maybe even a solid T6 replacement for my Fleet Nova-class.

    Tempting...

    Pitty it's tripple Lt. station in contrast with the Intel double Lt.Cmdr. but otherwise all four ships are WAY more interesting both stats-wise and looks-wise than any of the Intel abominations.


    Although i was hoping the Aelahl would feature a Lt.Cmdr. science station, like the D'deridex.

    well at least a ship other then the dyson scidestroyers gets to use secondary deflectors though only the dyson one is out that i know of unless they set it so rep and other deflectors can go there....

    Nice ships.
    The Dauntless radiant nanite cloud looks like the best aoe heal buff we got in years. But sadly I see turn rate of 14 but no "Can equip dual cannons", so u cant mount DHCs on it. Nice tho about the second deflector and the unique slipstream drive.

    The raptor looks tac heavy as allways the kdf ships were. Now from the description, to me at least, it implays that there may be some type of special cannons too, like the andorian wing cannons. And that trait looks badass, suits well with HY from the enhanced bio torp.

    Guardian cruiser....meh...no sale here

    I mean, at least its clearly Fed, but Im not feeling it. Its like its an Odyssey-ized Enterprise C. And Id advise no more bug eyed bussard collectors. I relunctantly used it when I flew my Venture class version of the Dreadnaught, but was not a fan.

    And that warbird, aka RRW Seattle Seahawk amirite?

    Im a 49ers fan, so that ship looks like TRIBBLE to me too lol. Actually its a good overall warbird design, its that nod to a seahawk head in the window placement that turns me off it.

    If theres more Fed T6 ships coming, they still have time to impress me. But so far, not one Fed ship pleases me.
