    First one will be the Xindi Insectoid HEC. She's got a hybrid Pilot seat. Faction specific to come later.

    Someone told me to google them and it popped up some pictures all I remember is there was a wierd looking T6 qin raptor it showed. Although that thing better have a battle cloak for the prices they have been charging lately. The pilot powers kinda seem bleh from KDF aspect but not so bad if you consider the advantage romulan battle cloaks have and federation ships with high defense aspects to them.

    What will be an epic fail is if this comes out tomorrow and no ships with a pilot hybrid seat are out and only way to get one is if you win lockbox ships or pay for the lobi ship lol. If they are just swamped today and late getting blogs out for them I can be understanding with that but I don't know what kind of marketing department expects to stay gainfully employed yet does no advertising of their new products lol.

    My first thought is that the Dev team missed a deadline. The C-Store Pilot ships likely should have shipped with Season 10, but it didn't work out.

    Second thought, decided that not shipping the C-Store ships with the new Pilot skills will increase Master Key sales.


    Neither are good thoughts.

    I've got zen saved, that I mostly bought and paid for, and have been waiting to see what the cstore pilot ships are.

    If they're not just very behind in getting the dev blogs up, then I am very surprised, and more then a little disappointed, that they're releasing a new, well upgrading a spec tree, new pilot powers, with no ships to use them on. One lockbox ship that can't even use the higher level pilot powers certainly doesn't count as a real pilot ship.

    The leaked pics of the Starfleet Pilot ship looks like.... well, like a mix between a Defiant and a Delta Flyer. Who knows, maybe Tom Paris actually designed the ship he's captaining.

    It wouldn't be the first time they've released stats on the day of launch...but odds are they're probably not going to launch tomorrow.

    Thats really kinda dumb then. They give us a new (revised) spec tree, the ability to train boffs in pilot specialization and powers, and no ships to use them on. Someone screwed up here.

    Only the lock box as far as I can tell but could be that trendy releases the block about faction ships when she arrives at work. :)

    I too hope they release those ships sooner rather than later.

    My DR is waiting for those ships. No way i'm gonna get her to 60 in the free T5 ship I got at 40...

    General Kraan begs to differ. Currently at L55, 12 more Eps to go, still flying a T3 K't'inga and taking down Borg cubes (admittedly on Normal difficulty...).

    All that potential ship xp wasted...

    No, I'd rather Level my ship along with my character. Saves me extra Argala grinds after 60...

    Are we 100% certain that in addition to new ships they won't be retrofitting this spot into some already released Tier 6 ships?

    That would anger some players who got the ships for their seats and that'd mean people spending less time and money on the new ships, so no, not gonna happen.

    Otherwise, they'd have allowed the Jem'hadar Attack Ship to become T6 with its command and intel seats.

    They're already pics of the new ships(at least the KDF and Starfleet... no Rommie yet) on a site whose link I shall not share.

    I know, I was talking about the whole "retrofitting existing ships". (And by the way, the fed version looks weird)

    you'll probably see a blog today or tomorrow detailing them and they will most likely be escorts, as well as a redone release of the defiant not to far after that. They'll likely go on sale Thursday or next week.

    I know this is rather unlikely, but I was hoping a pilot ship would be a reward for one of the FEs. As someone mentioned, perhaps a ship designed by Tom and used in the mission. I know the basic Obelisk was the last non-grind ship given away and that was for the Season 8 premiere FE. I'm probably just being super hopeful, but there is a very small precident and it does seem odd that there is no generally obtainable pilot ship at launch (C-Store or event grind even). For as other posters also mentioned I don't see a lockbox ship as really being "obtainable" by the averge player, especially on lauch day. So here is to blind optimisim and hope for a "free" Tom Paris Super Delta Flyer Heavy Pilot Escort. :D

    I cant say anything about free or not but the fed ship looks close to what your thinking of. I would like to see a ship sized delta flyer though. I can imagine that beast.

    Risa would be a good candidate for giving out a Pilot ship.

    The Risian Corvette getting a T6 version with pilot seating would a) make sense and b) save them time on new artwork.
    This is my Risian Corvette. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    True, but by the time of the Lohlunat Festival (About a month and a half from now) there will probably be C-Store Pilot ships and hopefully a, "Iconic" T6 Defiant with a pilot seat. The issue here is why no ship will be available to use the new boffs at launch. When Intelligence launched there were the intel ships, for Command there was a free grind-ship the Samsar, but as far as we know there will only be lockbox ships today, which are too expensive and rare for most people to be able to try out the new abilities.

    Edit: Also, while I agree that the corvette is perfect for a pilot ship and applaud your optimisim, it is fairly unlikely that they will make such a change, let alone make it a T6. The new ship this year will probably be T6 as well as likely a sci ship to complete the Risian "trinity," but so far no older ships, even event ones like the breen, have been upgraded to have hybrid seats. Still, its not a bad idea and perhaps one day it would happen.

    Yup, though the KDF ship is the only one that looks okay; as the Fed ship looks weird in all the wrong ways...

    Shame Cryptic never took the opportunity to make a T6 bop, though. :(

    i think they didnt announce those ships, because of phantom intel ****storm. since the new fed ship is fugly again, they dont dare.

    maybe they delayed the ships to thursday. maybe they delay them so some more people will get the lockboy pilots.

    maybe those ships wont have a cstore variant and therefore just end up in the fleet holding?

    anything is possible. maybe someone just forgot to post the devblog-posting rofl who knows. but im quite irretated too.

    release on tuesday, no ship, only lockbox, new spec, no ships for the spec ... very strange ...
