Keep these ship questions coming. Remember, we will have 2 devs this round, so now is the time to ask about ships
~CaptainSmirk
I'm looking forward to anything you can give us on any future Command/support specialisation ships, like an escort (3-pack per faction? ) or science vessel..is any of that in the pipeline for the moment or what?
Star Trek Online is excited to introduce you to our powerful new class of vessel, the Command Ship. These migthy starships will be premiering on Holodeck very soon, and make sure to check out our latest blog here to find out more details about this newest type of ship. Stay tuned for more blogs to come in the next several days for behind the scene glimpses of art and more!
Join CaptainSmirk and special guest devs, Ian 'JamJamz' Richards and Nick 'CrypticQuack' Quackebush, for our Livestream starting on Friday, February 13th, at 1PM PDT (click here for your local timezone), as we bring you a tour of the newest ships, and a demo of their Command Abilities. The Command Bridge Officers designed specifically for these ships have amazing new abilities, and will be a part of our demo. We will also take an in depth look at the myriad of customization options available in the ship tailor.
As it is also Valentine's Day weekend, and we will be giving our Romulan and Klingon allies some love by showing off their faction versions of these incredible Command ships!
Join us on TwitchTV for the show, and check back in this blog after the broadcast for links to the recorded version.
Our crew will be ready to questions and give out prizes through our TwitchTV Raffle*.
*To be eligible to win, you only need to be logged in to Twitch and chat the keyword that we'll ask players to post (in addition to us saying it verbally, we'll post it in chat so you can copy and paste it) right before each giveaway.
We cannot wait to introduce you to these new Command Ships, and two of our Dev Team members who will be making their STO Livestream Team debut!

We look forward to seeing you in-game and in our Twitch chat for the show!

Hmm.... the ship thats previewed in the news release seems very similar to one of the entries for the Enterprise F. If it is using that as a base model I hope some recognition goes to the original designer for their work.
Still felt this ship should have won actually.......
how many customization options are available per ship individually, without buying more than one ship in a given faction? eg how many options do we get pylon wise for say the presidio class?
Murphy's laws:
1- Murphy’s Law tells us that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
2- And anything that does go wrong will get progressively worse.
3- And if you survive the first two laws it’s time to panic.
Will Command Boffs be retroactively added to DR Ops Pack to compliment new shipsn nd give us more than one Command Boff in game?
This question is especially important since we cannot make our own until we have 10 points in Command spec, and many of us have already used the 10 free specs from progression in the Intel spec roster. The grind takes too long to get more after level 60.

You can grab an Engineering-Command Kobali boff from the Anniversary mission.
Well I guess that is only useful if you needn an Engineering-Command BOFF.
The #STO Command Ships Livestream start in just one hour on TwitchTV! Join us as we take a look at these new starships and all they have to offer! With Special Guest Devs Ian 'JamJamz' Richards and Nick 'CrypticQuack' Quackebush. The show starts at 1PM PDT on www.twitch.tv/perfectworld_community
1: Will there be a tactical version of the command and intelligents skills and if, when can we expect them
2: follow up on the first Q: will the klingon empire get more ships then the federation in this class because they are more battle focused like federation is more science focused
3: will there be space skills for the previous locked box ships, (Opinion) i find it bad that they did not get any space traits because i really love my galor
T-minus 30 minutes until our #STO Command Ships Livestream starts on TwitchTV! Want to see what the Command Ships can do before you buy? Got a question for the devs who worked on these vessels? Then join CaptainSmirk, JamJamz and CrypticQuack at 1PM PDT on www.twitch.tv/perfectworld_community
I love circular saucers and above-saucer nacelles. It looks like there's at least one each of those design elements in the Federation command ship variants.
1. Will we be seeing those more often on future ships, or is this an exception to the wedge aesthetic FED ships have been taking since the Sovereign/Intrepid/Prometheus classes?
My question got asked on the air. YEA!
My question wasn't answered because you interrupted the answer to point out the giant tails and then asked a different question after. BOO!
That was actually quite an informative livestream it was nice hearing about how they approached the ships design and what not (and also congrats to the winners of the zen ,and I believe I heard my name read outi n them,or I've finally cracked and started hearing things!)

You have not cracked at all. In fact, you won the mega prize of 2,000 zen. Grats!
Here is a thought for next time. If you say you are opening the floor for the participation code for a couple minutes, lets only do it for a couple minutes. I entered the code, and then waited almost 15 minutes while my wife was waiting, and ended up having to leave before any give away happened. Kinda frustrating to wait so long and not even get to hear who did win.
Please stop using Twitch TV for videos. They are not Android compatible and their app for Android is an unsearchable mess. Use YouTube or Vimeo at least until they get their [REDACTED] together. Anybody still using Flash for video in the age of HTML5 might as well wear a loincloth and carry a club.
I had to work but so far watched part one. will watch part 2 later.
But, gotta say best livestream yet. focused on the design and customization of the ships instead. Which makes me want to finish watching instead of feeling like the only reason to watch is Live to get a prize. So well done.
Also since it was done this way I actually changed my mind on the Klingon designs. Didn't look like much before, but really liked seeing them in the editor like that. So Kudos. More livestreams like this and you'll take more money from me. lol
Regarding the Fed T6 Battlecruiser, someone was saying that the deflector looks like the Excelsior, when it doesn't. The secondary hull itself looks like a widened Excelsior hull.
I'd like to see new ship designs for the older classes, which would start to bring them in line with the design elements we saw with the Enterprise J, while allowing for older components in the process. At the same time, perhaps a replacement for the refit Constitution class and it's variants, leaving those exclusively for the Zen Store, rather than as a non-retrofittable cruiser.

And where does one find the other recorded shows.
As a community manager it would be nice if you let the community know WHERE to find these things in your signature or something.
