I'm thinking they will release defient, mogai or romulan bop, brel next. in the iconic ships, then soveriegn. Then finally the flagships. Perhaps a few one shots in between.
I agree though not sure about that drive section look so far from the front of that galaxy varsion, but i really like the Negh'tev an D'Khellra looks so far much better. I am hoping that they actually shift the lance visual away from being attached to the Galaxy-X saucer in the star ship visual options an make it a stand-alone option with variants for each of the galaaxies. Though we could see them making a galaxy-X dreadnaught in the future (maybe even Negh'tev an D'Kellra varients too) that is a stand alone from the exploration class, which is actuially more tactically oriented (fixing an issue of it not seeming to be fitting of the dreadnaught classification by some) an with more options that fit the Galaxy-x better. With even being the first to have two hybrid seats that are not of the same secondary specialization (maybe even having different varients that have different mixes of dual hybrid seats.
One issue i see with them keeping this idea of strict hybrid seat choices without any universal hybrid seats, is that in the future as we get more secondary career choices, or if they add a true universal hybrid seat, that these ships an others will be left as obsolete. I am hoping that they release a universal hybrid seat allowing you to choose any secondary spec-career to slot in with the primary career, or a change to the universal seats that allow you to slot secondary abilities also (either being up to the stated seat rank or a rank or two below that rank). As such i hope this will start a shift away from hybrid seats being the only place to put a officer you want to use the secondary career abilities in.
I think maybe they used the fact of the T5-u upgrade to actually get data on what T-5 ships were or are being upgraded most often, and then using that to choose what ships to update/upgrade to T-6 in what order based on that info. It would actually be a good move both in a fact of gaining added revenue, getting needed data to pull the most interest in said ship, and even using some of the revenue to develope that ship well. Regardless of it being that way or not, we have what we were looking for better or worse. II do like the idea of that console though that it gives a cap boast to all sub-systems.
I think the Drive section has some elements of the Yellowstone Runabout.
And of course i am happy to get my Galaxy as T& but the price (probaly 3000 Zen) feels like a ripoff because i paid that,a nd more for basically the same ship as T5 plus fleet version plusT5U upgrade. THere should at least be a 500 Zen discount for owners of a T5U or the T6 fleet versions should get a discount if they ever release them.
And i´d say that ships that didn´t get a 2409 upgrade (like the Regent for the Sovereign, the Sao PPaulo for the Defiant and the Venture for the Galaxy9 shouldn´t get a 2410/T6 upgrade either. That would mean no T6 for the Ambassador and Excelsior (even though i´d miss those two the most)
And i think there should be no T6 Defiant but they should just unlock the Defiant and Sao Paulo Skin for the Phantom which, basically, is a Defiant
Glad to see we are getting yet one more cruiser....didnt they just release 3 different ones?
So what i am asking myself is where are the escorts??¿¿ Sad and pathetic that our only option at level 60 is ONE yes you read right ONE ship,the Pathfinder...apart from that we are screwed and pigeonholed into using a slow a$$ ship with an abysmal turn rate...gj Cryptic...so this is the way its going to be?
Escorts from boxes which are only character bound as opposed to releasing them on the Zen shop so i can use them on ALL my characters...yeah im not happy.
Dude....chill out.
First of all, the Pathfinder is not an escort - it's a science ship. There are like 3 of them at T6.
Secondly, these are the hero ships. They made a T6 Intrepid/Pathfinder, now they've made a T6 Galaxy/Andromeda and when the pilot full spec launches you'll probably get your T6 Defiant/Whatever. It's almost a no brainer after this, since it's one of the iconic hero ships from Star Trek.
And last, Galaxy touch-ups have been asked by people for 2.5 - 3 years. There are like 15k posts on that topic in various 'Galaxy Class' threads. This has been a long time comming, just wait for your turn.
New escorts comming after so much science ships and cruisers is a no-brainer.

well, i anderstand your frustration but, you may have post this in a different thread, it is a galaxy thread here, WE love big fat cruiser here:D.
so they did it finally, and it daesn't seem to be the old 3 pack at the first glance, maybe they do a new 3 pack galaxy/negvar/DDeridex, that these ship would be the "mirror" of eatch other.
that would be a more coherent proposal.
i have to restreign my enthousiams when i read the post to avoid being disapointed just like with the galaxy reboot ( i wanted to say HYYYHA at everyword but i managed to hold still )... so far so good.
the ship get a new skin, and more important the original skin get an hd pass, GREAT!
breathe, calm down... here we go, now let wait the stats.
i must said that i am rather optimistic considering that they pack these 3 iconic ship tohether.
if only the galaxy could have a bo layout similar to the DDeridex, that would be a great thing.
it seem, i don't want to foul myself here, but, but, but it seem! that they finally listened to every complain that we have with this ship.
the skin error, the bad 3 pack galaxy/intrepid/defiant concept, it seem... it feel like.
only the layout will confirm if i have good reason to be optimistic.
i don't known how you guy feel at the moment, but it rather shaky here.
can i at last, stop posting in a galaxy thread to said how disapointed i am? i hope so!!
please cryptic, make it so:D
But only a couple pics? Come on devs, give us a blog where you show off your work.
But dat new Negh'tev tho
I'm hoping we'll get an X.
As for a Tier 6 Sovereign...that would be next in the cycle so...maybe...Fall? I suppose that would come with a new Vor'cha as well.
Now I wait patiently for a Bird of prey. Sovereign and Bird of Prey and I'd pretty much be set up.
BUT MAN. They're going to KILL my dilithium supply at this rate.
Make it so.
i also hope for a galaxy x, but please cryptic DON'T do it too soon! please, don't rush that one.
let all your new specialisation go out, and then choose the rights ones for it.
i have time, no hurry!
don't mess it:D
Yeah already corrected the mistake,meant a phantom not a pathfinder,but still its hard to believe that such an overrated series like TNG gets this much attention,already got a lot of cruisers to choose from,i mean they just released three different ones and now they get one more?
Yeah sorry my wallet is staying in my backpocket until i see some equality here...
all the other cruiser that you can choose from lately are not from tng, i said lately but i think it goes back to what? 2 years? when did the regent come out?
because after it ( expect the galaxy reboot, but that not really a new ship ) i don't remember a tng era ship to come out, i might be mistaken tho.
if someone known it, do tell

Well....overrated to you, the favoruite for others. People are different.
And no, lol , TNG barely gets any attention here. Just notice how there are full Defiant and Voyager interior sets, but no Enterprise-D one. And just notice how the old T5 Galaxy was the most gimped ship in the game. And the bad ship model with many errors.
This has been a long time comming after years upon years of people bugging Cryptic to do this. I just hope it has some solid, not OP, just solid stats to boot. Give us TNG fans a reason to keep smiling.
They (Cryptic) are currently in the 'Command Spec' mode and that spec comes natural to big ships like the cruisers. Plus they (Cryptic) seem to work on waves and they seem to be on a 'cruiser wave' lately. I remember a time when they only released escorts and people called STO - "Escorts Online".
Yeah sorry my wallet is staying in my backpocket until i see some equality here...
And that's perfectly fine. Just like I barely buy any escorts and own all of the cruisers. When a ship you like comes, then you'll buy. And if an escort is what you're looking for, it will come very very soon, mark my words. My bet is right after the 'Delta Recruit' event.

I don't think you've realized how popular the Galaxy-class is in STO. I think there are far better ships than them, but I see tons of Galaxy, Galaxy-X flying around still. T6 releases of the Galaxy, Negh'Var, D'Deridex is a very smart, money making move. They can't lose on this.
I've said when DR hit that the devs would release T6 canon ships as time wore on. They followed soon with Pathfinder. They're doing so next with the Galaxy/Negh'Var/D'Deridex. All 3 are popular ships.
I'm also happy they're doing a D'D because the leaks made no mention of a Romulan version while showing stuff of the Galaxy & Negh'Var.

All three have been given a 2410 facelift, much like was done for the Pathfinder Class Long Range Science Vessel
Hopefully this isn't limited to the ships visuals.
I seriously hope that it gets a decent BOFF and Console Layout, just a visual overhaul would be very very disappointing.
I would be happy if it would get a pathfinder-like BOFF layout like this:
Although i'm not happy with command BOFF abilities, it is still waaay better than before and finally it promises to be versatile and fun to play. Which is everything i ever wished for the GCS in STO

Hmm, that trait might be interesting. Depending on how much damage it deals and how far the explosion reaches, it might be worth taking RSP3 and turning that COM eng into something somewhat useful. Well, I'm assuming it's going to have a COM eng anyway.

The Lt Tac is going to be the hybrid Command, since Pathfinder was Lt Eng/Intel, and the T6 Defiant only has a Lt Sci and Eng, so it's seat will probably be Lt Sci/Pilot.
only complaint is the saucer rim is too 6 foot model thin, there's supposed to be 2 decks there. that causes the rim windows to be more on the bottom, then on the side.

So, I got my wish :P
But seriously man, if that's the only visual complaint, we're doing good here. They just chose one canon representation over the other. Probably trying to keep to Generations.
I'm just hoping these carry over to the Dreadnaught.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
Gotta take it one step at a time though. I'm sure it will come eventually. Maybe. >.>
I am greatly saddened by this unfortunate news. I was hoping at least the components commonly shared by the vessels would be updated.
But then again, they could just be saving it for the tier 6 Galaxy.
On the upside, the tier 6 version will actually upgrade all normal Galaxy visuals, so that's cool by itself.
The Dreadnaught will have her day.
