You can find the Federation Escorts here.

You can find the KDF Raptors here.

    I can barely notice any visual difference between the KDF variants.

    Rom ones look like something made out of paper.

    FED ones look like oversized shuttles.


    Overall, too price'y too soon.

    They are not the Defiant so I see no reason why they would. Also the models are 2x-3x as large as the Defiant.

    Three different saucers.
    Three different hulls.
    Three different pylons.
    Three different nacelles.

    Wonder if the different fins are part of the hulls or an additional customization.

    Hrmm...they're Raptors, so they're going to look like Raptors - but there are all sorts of customization options there.

    The design of the romulan ships is... special.
    At least one variant with a more common design would have been nice ]:-|

    "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."

    Certainly you didn't expect this wouldn't be the case?

    They'll be OP for about two months, until Cryptic decides to sell us something even more OP.

    But does it really matter? PvP is a joke anyway, whereas PvE is unplayable with all the lag, so what difference those ships will make?


    I don't care, at this point. Maybe I'll buy the super bundle one day for the traits, but I'll keep flying my Steamrunner T5U anyway.

    I noticed that all of them come with 5 tac consoles. I guess Cryptic finally figured out that players take the one with the most tac consoles and never use the others. :P

    Okay, so I'm not usually a fanboy on stuff like this and honestly, getting me to buy a nine-ship mega bundle has been near impossible up to this point.....but with that said


    DEAR GOD THESE SHIPS ARE BEAUTIFUL!

    I swear by all that is holy in the multiverse, when can I give you my money!?!?

    ........yeah, I'll be buying all nine without hesitation or worry.

    Looks like something to get for my KDF Gorn to fly around in. I mean, the Engineering variant is basically a direct upgrade to the Hirogen Hunter I'm currently flying, and the Science version would let me pack on the Plasma Explosion consoles. Time to start saving my Dilithium (140k right now, only a whole lot more to go XD).

    If the lag isn't fixed the ships are useless. No point in sinking more money in a game that's unplayable. Adding additional abilities and more ships is not helping the lag, it's just adding more variables to sift through as Cryptic tries to fix it or at its worst adding to it.

    Console – Universal – Microprojectile Barrage Launcher

    The Mercury, Kortar and Okhala class Pilot ships come equipped with a Microprojectile Barrage Launchers that launch swarms of kinetic missiles against up to 5 foes in a 90 degree arc in front of you for a short period of time. Unlike standard projectiles, these do not need a target, as they will automatically lock on to any target in the arc of fire. Enemies that are hit will be knocked away by the explosion and spun slightly in a random direction.

    Can't help but feel, given a few items that have been introduced since Delta Rising, that some of the Cryptic devs were ticked off about the reaction to the Party Amps and so they're trolling the players...

    Also I must say, this is the reverse of the Command Ships. This time the KDF got the best looking ones and the roms got the ugliest.

    Go on.... do tell... what are you thinking they'd do with this? Make it viable vs shields?

    I just got an update I added something to the Q/A section

    Q: Are there any restrictions to using Pilot Maneuvers?

    A: Yes. These Tactical Maneuvers are disabled while your engines are offline, you are cloaked, or you are under the effects of skills such as Eject Warp Plasma, Gravity Well, and Tractor Beam
