1) Awesome ship design that invoke the image of a demon swooping down to eat you? Check.
2) Fleet T6 level ship? Check.
3) A boff/console layout that every Galaxy captain wishes they had? Check.
4) A useful universal console that can be used in any ship in the game? Check.
5) A new powerful warp/singularity core? Check.
6) A potentially very useful mastery trait for all factions? Check.
7) A reputation discount to reduce grinding on alts? Check.
The ship looks awesome, whoever designed it needs either a raise or a promotion just for this ship.
One question that has been asked before, but if you have 1000 Q-mendations from last year's anniversary event, can they be used to purchase this ship? I have 4 characters who have 1000 Q-mendations and I'd like to get the ship on all of them (they're all Engineers, so the ship is perfect for them).
I think I'll get this for my KDF alien and throw the Jem'Hadar (Maybe Honor Guard? Nah, not worth the grind) shields on it... Should make for a nice semi-generic but cool-looking starship.
...Oh wait, it's a grind. No thanks. I'll just take the Qmendations for my Fed, throw them in the Dyson Destroyer rep project, and maybe run the daily a few times (rather than a few million as I'd have to for the new one), then just get that ship.
As I suspected, ship has "We're here to steal your dead by force. Why? Because the more of you dead gives us more to steal."
I still think the Kobali are out kill as many as possible to increase their numbers for the invasion to come. Another secret servitor race of the Iconians, programed to increase their numbers through their "transformation process", unknowingly awaiting the activation signal from the Iconians to start the invasion of their return.
Don't like using 'alien' ships, especially for a Starfleet officer, but this will definitely be an exception. Looks good in layout and looks! Glad I have some Qmendations left over from last year
Is it just me or does this cruiser look like an actually complete ship and not just a cheap forerunner for a cstore set like the last few anniversaries?
It also reminds me of Split ships from X3 which is very welcome.
Healers make no sense in PvE, they do make sense in PvP.
PvP is gone.
I wonder if Cryptic is endlessly trying to troll us releasing ships that would be good for a dead part of the game which, which, is the most important part of a MMO. I feel insulted a bit.
No wait, they insulted us from the very first time bran left. After then, PvP went downhill to a degree that I hate most of the devs in here.
hops on Spitfire, recharges cannons, goes to War Thunder with rest of STO PvPers
It looks great. Though - if possible - I will change the colour of the hull.
The Dyson destroyers recently got new hull material options added to make them look more like a Fed/Klingon/Romulan design. Will there be faction materials available for this ship as well?

Even though I would like this too, I doubt it. It would be just as unlikely as having a Fed hull on the Breen carrier or the Sheshar. This ship is another alien vessel with lockbox stats, not like the Dyson ships last year that were actually faction ships.

I believe that's why they normalized anniversary elite currency.
Will this ship be handled similarly to how the Summer and Winter ships are done? Essentially, will you get a discount on all your other characters to purchase this ship after using 1000 to buy it on one?
I am sure people will be asking this as this would be a huge bonus to those of us with several alts.
No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

Great to hear about the discount though. Console and a Warp Core usable on other ships are also neat additions.
Still, I think I'm only going to get the trait for my KDF and ROM characters, due to lack of anything better to use on their side...
Careful, we know what happened to the last guy who said the whole word..

Looks like we have a winner.

But seriously really neat design - kind of aggressive looking with what look like downward pointing horns or something...
Kind of reminds me of this in a good way

New specialization, Command. It is an hybrid seat, like the old Intel/whatever

I love the looks, lovee the stats, console is awesome this is fantastic
Oh well, maybe next years Winter and Anniversary Ships will be better.

it was a hologram!
