The Jem'Hadar Battlecruiser

flash525flash525 Member Posts: 5,441 Arc User
Some time soon, if not already, a new Jem Hadar ship is to be introduced in the form of a Strike Ship; essentially a retrofitted Jem Hadar Attack Ship. Rumours place both an Intel and Command Bridge Officer seating on this ship too, so it's truly going to be unique (for the moment anyway).

I would like to query the location of the The Jem'Hadar Battlecruiser though; it's the only cannon Dominion ship that we're lacking as playable, and quite honestly, it would have served a much better purpose (especially in the Command role) than a small and nimble Strike Ship.

Note: Even though the cannon name for the ship in question is a Battlecruiser, the game references the ship as a Battleship, to save any confusion on which ship I am referencing, I'm linking both resources.

Why don't we have this powerhouse yet? Furthermore why did you go to all the trouble to design a new ship when you had a perfectly capable one already in game? This isn't a complaint, it's merely a question (I think) of logic. You'd have made a bucket load of sales either way.

    Give it time.

    It's going to be the T6 version of the Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier that can use Strike Ships as frigate pets.

    The same amount of time people have been waiting for the Keldon? :P

    I find that unlikely. The Jem'Hadar Dreadnought (that big TRIBBLE that took down the USS Valiant) I can just about see as having Attack Ships as Fighter Pets, however the Battlecruiser I speak of is roughly the size of the Galaxy Class, and thus would (or should) have a Hanger Bay of Jem'Hadar Fighters at best. The Battlecruiser simply isn't big enough to house Attack Ships from within.

    The Sarr Theln can launch Plesh Brek Frigates.

    Your argument is irrelevant.

    Yeah, and the practicality of that revolution, I would argue is a stupid one. Still.

    Not really. It's a valid argument, it's just one that Cryptic may deem to overlook. That doesn't make it irrelevant. Your argument/opinion for the Battlecruiser being able to launch Attack Ships (or Strike Ships as they now are) is pretty much (by comparison) of having the Galaxy Dreadnought launch Defiant Class ships.

    See how stupid that would be? It's exactly the same argument, just using different ships as the examples. The two carriers would be roughly the same size, as would the two fighters, yet it shouldn't ever be allowed to happen.

    I always liked this ship. I'll never forget playing SFC3 and using the GAW mod which allowed me to finally fly this beauty. I wish that they would add it as a playable ship to the game. Hell, I wish that the Dominion was a playable faction.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    If there ever was any talk/potential in this, that has long since faded I fear. Further proof of that is that a 4th playable Dominion ship is being released. It's a shame, cause there'd have been a lot of potential with it (moreso than with the Romulans), but I don't see it happening, not now, not ever.

    It's a shame they're not releasing the Battle Cruiser. I would actually have opened my wallet for it. Instead they release some horrible Intel/Command hybrid thing which can't be as good as people think it will be because they haven't even released the stats for it yet.

    Cryptic really should have made the Battlecruiser instead of copypasting the Bugship into T6. The Battlecruiser is the one we are lacking, so that should have been the priority.
    I completed a 2-man CSE, ISE, and KASE, Optionals included. And I soloed Winter Invasion.

    Likewise. The Battlecruiser is the only Dominion ship I have ever had any interest in. I've been waiting for it ever since the first Lock Box was released with the Galor.

    I was just about to post something simular about the Jem Battleship, it would have made more sense to release this ship rather than alienate everyone who currently owns a Bugship or has had the value of one they are trying to part with devalued

    But this is Cryptic a company that seems to take great delight in pissing off its customerbase. And totally ****ing up this game. I wonder if the title Star Trek Online is fitting for this game, I recall during Spaceballs a joke reference to a sequel being mentioned with the title "Spaceballs 2 the search for more money"

    (I don't have a bugship i'm trying to sell but i do think as the original bugship is unatainable other than through masses of EC on the exchange or via promotions like this one, that a free upgrade should be given to those already owning it and that a free upgrade is available once unpacked making it the Tier 6 version. What harm can it do, the ship is already opened and account bound, discard it and you lose it)

    The battlecruiser will come next season when we go through the wormhole to the gamma quadrant.
    I expect us to be stuck in the Delta Quadrant for a while yet...
