Anniversary-based C-Store Ships Coming Soon?

hyperionx09

So I logged in and was organizing some equipment on one of my ships.

I noticed just now that the Kobali Console now lists itself as part of a set of 4.

I'm wondering if that means the C-Store ships based on the Anniversary ship are coming soon. I do wonder if they're going to be Kobali Alliance themed in the vein of the Dyson Science Destroyers, or if they're going to be more traditional in design and coloration.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

Interesting, could be.

I was quietly hoping for one faction specific ship for each faction with a Command bias

Just because the first console came with the Kobali ship does not mean that the other three consoles won't come on a faction-specific 3-pack...

Notice, too, that there are no cross-faction or "alien" ships in the C-Store.

Command ships were recently leaked. They're basically along the lines of the intel ships, but for command spec. Each faction will get 3 ships with similar designs, each focused on tac, eng, or sci. The ships also seem to be of faction aesthetics, so no Kobali or other influence.

The command warbirds, from their silhouettes alone, look f***in' awesome though, I will say. :P

Oh snap, you're right.

Those KDF and Romulan ones look pretty scary - I'm curious how physically large the former are(Could this be the long-awaited Super-Negh'var?). The Fed one looks kind of oldschool with the long engineering/deflector section - similar to the Excelsior.

iqfleet has some pictures regarding the new command ships. If you're interested look here.

Fed engineering one looks reminiscent of the Premonition class from Star Trek: Armada, without the box on the back.

Also surely the Dacoit flight deck already has a T5-U in-game?

Ah yes, you make a good point. Well if those leaks are to be believed, its looking pretty good.

You guys just broke the first rule of the Fight club. We can't discuss leaks on the STO forums.
However, you can always makes suppositions, like "I suspect we will have some nasty looking Romulan battlecruiser in the C store".

The Dacoit specifically is a T3 ships, so no t5-u. However, the T5 version (more or less), the fleet Corsair have a T5-u. Unfortunately, the engineering version of the ship, the Corsair retrofit (also a fleet ship) doesn't have a T5-U. Sadly.

I can only hope they will add one, I still have the T5 Corsair retrofit, as I enjoy engi heavy carriers. And since the mirror Vo'quv and the Corsair retrofit didn't have any upgrade, it's difficult to find a non box/lobi engi carrier for the KDF side.

Probably best if you remove your link before the mods wake up, as it has already been mentioned, you don't talk about fight club..

Besides Cryptic takes a very dim view of anyone linking to that site....

Happen to know where I could see that information? I'm curious whether a Galaxy is in there anywhere.

If it's three ships per faction, it's possible a Galaxy (or something based upon) would come later. They're not going to detach a Galaxy from a Command ability.
