Tier 6 Command Ships!

edited February 2015 in Galactic News Network [PC]
We're pleased to announce our newest lineup of ships - Tier 6 Command Ships! These beauties are the latest ships to leave dry dock. Built to inspire your teammates, these ships feature a new feature with dizzying amounts of options for Captains to mix and match designs.

Check out the new ships here.

Also featured in our latest blog are image rotators! We had tons of customization options built into our new ships and wanted to show off all the possibilities in our rotating image selectors. See a particular Romulan design you like? Click it for a high-res shot of that design. Want to save the entire bundle of designs? Click the link at the bottom of the image for a full rotating gif of all the variations.

Enjoy Captains! :)

    Nice looking ships! What are they called?

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    I'd rather pay 12,000 zen to upgrade my T5U ship to have specializations than to fly those things :rolleyes:

    Plus Commander Engi... gross

    Interesting ships. It'll be equally as interesting to see their stats and whatnot. Still the customization options is a plus.

    I'm honestly not impressed. Other than the Oddyssey, not a single one of the newer fed ships have been good looking.

    Yeap option to further upgrade T5u up to T6 would be win-win scenario both for players and Cryptic.

    I'm so glad that the Odyssey-class Star Cruiser Flagships are includ-- oh, wait...

    Well, at least the glorious Bortasqu' Klingon Flagship was inclu---... oh, wait.

    Well, not to worry. At least the incredible Scimitar Dreadnought Warbird Flagships are part of this great Command Ship introduc-- oh, wait...

    Well, I can go ahead and add this 9-pack to the Dyson Ship 9-pack for the list of ships I won't be buying.

    Those Romulan ships look great, the others are okay too. :)

    *contemplates how much 12k Zen costs*

    Yeah, I will admire them from afar..... :eek:

    Edit: And what would I even do with those ships ? Grinding Argala works fine with the ships I already have. Not that I actually grind Argala.... :o

    Hey Cryptic! You are supposed to wait until you see the ships not selling well before adding a hangar! :p

    To be honest, the only faction that intrests me is the kdf, but I'm not likely to buy three ship varients, two of whom will never see the light of day, just for the ability to customise and as they are..well, the kdf ships are not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing ships (even if the model/skinning looks like it was done well)

    I bought the mogh and bort to support more ships to the kdf side but I fear this one will fall flat

    well, I'll get the Kobali ship Thursday and if it stinks I'll get one of the Romulan ones :)
    Not in love with the Klingon versions unfortunately.

    Pass!

    I also think the Inspiration meter is off-base.

    The point of a command ship is to coordinate the battle, not to merely inspire others to fight harder. In DS9, when Jem'Hadar fire is rocking the ship to and fro, you never saw the crew of the Defiant looking out the viewport to admire the pretty new Sovereign class and resolving to repair everything faster. :rolleyes:

    Who comes up with this stuff? Is it because you already blew through the proper use of this on cruiser commands and needed to make a new mechanic?
    Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it! No, seriously! ...Why are you laughing so hard? :(

    All have hangars I might just be tempted out of my Vesta and get one for my Rom. However I may just hold out for a fulkl carrier for all factions. Will have to wait and see what they look like in game and not just the pics.

    Who designed them?



    Oh and, I think it is about time for a new "Who's who" for the STO team.
    I have no idea who this new Lead Designer is. ... or what happened to the last :D

    Agreed as well...WHY cryptic? These are T5 copied/pasted into T6 with new consoles/spec and mastery. Why not just upgrade FULL T5 to T6 and sell those upgrades/consoles in a box instead

    Severely tempted to just buy the 9-pack because it looks like I'll be buying the Rom and Fed 3-packs which totals out the same anyway.

    The old Art Lead no longer reflected the current quality of the Star Trek Online team, and was removed to make it better.

    Meeh. 12,000 Zen is a lot. A lot for nine cruisers.

    At Steam prices apparently 10,000 + 2,000 Zen is £83 + £17. So £100 for nine cruisers at the very least.

    Gonna need more persuading, honestly.

    OMFG, ENOUGH WITH THE FRAKEN SHIPS! There's more than enough in the game to suit just about anyone and you still insist on making more. The Delta Pack was fine enough (even without the T6 Voyager that should have come with it).

    Y'know, if you really want us to have fun with our ships, how about working on PVP for a change?

    Yes.. it's not like teamwork makes everyone fight.. harder...

    Meeh. 12,000 Zen is a lot. A lot for nine cruisers.

    120/9 = 1333 (13.33 per ship more or less.) It's actually a pretty good deal .. if you use all 9. Personally, I'm not sure I'd want to burn that much money.

    I don't think that had the desired effect... "better" isn't what I'd call STO, currently.

    I understand the fact you are looking to keep profits up, but being a Lifetime member and still sinking as much money as I have into this game ( I could have 5 WoW accounts and still have the cash left over to buy a few mounts) is insane. I would have thought Lifeers would at least get a Fleet Admiral ship. The new ships look terrible and they do not offer enough for me to keep buying them. Now, offer me a chance to actually upgrade me T-5u ships to T6 and you might have a sale. I was stupid enough to buy the very first ship that was offerend in the CStore, a ship that was said to be the biggest and baddest ship that will EVER be offered to Fed Players, well, I believed you, but yet, a Galaxy X dreadnought is a nothing special now, so I learned my lesson the hard way and haven't forgotten the fact I actually bought the Warship as well.....stupid me. That shup is nothing, not an escort and not a cruiser, and the middle of the road is the deadlyest place to stand. Not again, no way, "Ain't Gonna Happen":(

    Kudos to the ship art team! The Romulan designs look maybe a tad bit too futuristic but every ship looks like something it's faction would design.

    While the ships are somewhat........interesting when it comes to looks, the whole team mechanics concept is kind of meh until tested!

    Selling new ships is one of the main ways this game keeps its doors open and it's not like there aren't an abundance of free models for you to use. And as ever you are free to not purchase.

    It's better than it's ever been - to argue otherwise is baffling given how vastly improved nearly every area of the game is since launch.
