Hard to really judge without the finished product. If marketing let's Smirk tease us through Twitter we might get an image worth discussion.
My only pet peeve is that the recent Priority One interview with Geko indicates more three-ship bundles incoming. Likely being these command ships. I dislike the bundle approach immensely. I usually one want one of the ships. As my play style has never been to sacrifice slots for complete set bonuses.

Not a fan of those super long tails (if only we could remove them with custom part options but I doubt it frankly), makes the design look really silly. Other than that they've done a really good job and they feel so much more Starfleet. Other than the tail, an 8/10 from me.
Well, if you look at the other images that have slipped out - the 'tails' actually look very decent on the ships themselves. I wish Cryptic would release the announcement on them already - After seeing them, it's one of the few things I"ve seen since the Avenger making me want to give them money.
You do realize that posting links to the not yet announced things discussed in this thread is exactly the stuff mods and devs hate to see, right? Hence the "subtle" hints from others what their source is.
Thetanine, if I could report your post and bring an early death to this thread, I would. Sadly, the button for it is gone with this forum.
But then, my ire isn't only reserved to you. The people here (but not just here) discussing these ships that were leaked, you're putting the dataminers on the spot; you're putting Cryptic devs on the spot due to premature release of unfinished products or drafts. Basically, everybody loses just because you couldn't exert some restraint.
Also, to the detractors that also want a playable Typhoon... I think you kind of got what you wanted, but can't see it or are still not happy (as in, there was no chance of making you happy even in realizing your wishes in the first place).
But, honestly, if there's any enduring message I want to leave here, it's this: learn some ******n discretion, people.

Yeah... yeah I can sorta see the Tac one working as a revamped Typhoon. More extreme than the rework I had in mind but it'll certainly serve the purpose and it's definitely better-looking than the old Typhoon (if only because it's not the old Typhoon).
Oh god no. I thought they looked promising but that? the 3rd romulan ship looks awful with the oversized wings. the Klingon Tac ship looks like a flying Forklift. and those fed ships..
Who had that glorious idea to put such ugly nacelles on a ship. and the Engineering cruiser, which should be a true cruiser, is the worst of all. The Delta/saucer section is too small, the "tail" too long and the nacelles too big.

The Scryer has short/long "tail" options, so I don't see why these couldn't. It would boost sales IMO if they had that option.
No idea. But something official is being posted today, so maybe we'll find out. It's hard to guess on the 3 pack ships. The flagships and dysons had unique bridges, the Vesta didn't So... /shrug
Overall, I like them. The Romulan offerings look pure wicked. And the Federation vessels are really nice.
I have mixed feelings about the KDF offerings, however. The "Baby Bort" looks nice. But I'm not fond of the other two, especially the one that looks like a K'Tanco carved out of a solid block. But who knows, they might grow on me.
I'm sure the parts are going to be interchangeable, like all of the 3pack pieces are.
Yeah, interchange one long misplaced tail with another longer one, right, cause they all have it. More like, you might have an option to buy a skin that has no tail, if you're lucky.

It's hard to see under the Borg stuff I tossed on mine, but the Scryer has two different tail options. I actually made it so the top one was short while the bottom was long.

I have. Still don't like it. It would do better being shorter. Its far too long and skinny, looks like its dragging after the rest of the ship.

One can only hope but the ship customisation in this game has been notoriously bad for years, even Z Store ships which is inexcusable.
That's a good one, had to laugh quite hard.:P
