When the game got changed enough to handle XXXL sized player-ships. So, probably not long before a player borg cooperative fraction (to test oversized ships live before player-cubes) or not long after borg fraction (since its then tested with cubes).
Right now it does not make much sense. Even common stuff like combat would feel very awkward. Not just because they need to tweak the "boss-ships" to be "as weak" as playerships but also simple things like shooting would feel wrong. You might already experience it with ships like a Voth Dread. Far from being boss ship size but already one of the biggest player ships. Firing dual cannons at the STO max weapons range already feels silly close with those ships; now with ships that are starting to be as long or even bigger than the firing range; that would feel plain ridiculous.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Its actually not as big as you might think. Its about the size of the scimitar. Maybe a bit bigger than the oddy or ships like that but its not really oversized.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

+1 Tholian dreadnought.
All of this. Including the Tyhpoon, the ENT maco uniforms and justin bieber being horrible.
Though as for the beard posting topic, a schedule would be nice so we don't coincidentally shave it right before the day we'd get the maco uniforms.
As for the tarantula's size, it rally isn't that big. Was playing the tholian alert lately and my ecplise was pretty much it's size.

This. IMO, the Voth City ship is a XXXL ship, these (in the picture) are big, but don't feel awkward nor do they don't make much sense at all. Same with the Andorian Atrox, the Klingon Vo'Quv, Tholian Recluse, Jem'Hadar Dreadnought, or the D'deridex Warbird... all very big, and very much playable too The Borg Cube, is another topic...
Thx guys keep it coming so cryptic understands the incredible urgentness of this request:)
I mean I wanted it for so long that I reached the "craving" state by now and just cant bring myself to want any other ship before my need for the tarantula has been fulfilled.

Ey! If they can ignore my "urgent" demands for a certain outfit... you can wait atleast a year for this.
That being said I do like that web spining attack that it does.
When will we see a playable Tholian Dreadnought? Probably right after they release KDF and RRF T6 sci vessels that are on par with Fed options...so, never.

The Tholians have come and gone, and since Nukara there hasn't been anything new of them except them popping up in a Romulan mission or two...topped on the fact that we're in the Delta Quadrant...I don't see the ship coming any time soon.

I indeed remembered it far bigger. And yes, it is a cool looking ship; actually I like the design more than those of the other Tholian ships.
About the awkwardness; its ok with beams. That works. But go all DHC against another VD or maybe Scim with DHC. It makes you (and the other) thankful that there is no collision damage in STO.

I would have assumed after we got Nukara as a zone...I remember it being the most exciting update to date! People do forget about it, but so much effort was put into it. It was a real shame they abandoned the Tholians after that :-(
Well in the S11 trailer I just watched there was a short scene with Tholiens.
And they are bringing in a Traveller from another time and while thats propably no Tholian they still are also time traveller/time travelleing interested and the whole S10.5 theme with the Krenim is time-travel-based.
So while I'm reaching a bit for straws here the basis is there. There might still be hope.
I would not mind seeing the trantula, but also the Vila undine cruiser (i think it would be a cruiser) alongside the Tythis dreadnaut. Though also to me i would want to see them release several dreads in afew releases, like some of the dreads from other races, as well as ones that are either not used or slightly older models of current factions.
It looks like the Tholians will just be gimmick to allow access to the Mirror Universe so far . Still, gimmi all their ships.

We don't want what the Feds have. We want the equivalent. We want fairer treatment. Concern, desire, greed to some extent, and passionate belief that the enough people would buy KDF items to make it worth Cryptic's while.

Closing the circle.
This was just before the second Sheshar has been released
It should be a great idea for a Tholian T6 ship. My recluse needs more updating

Yea, how about THREE hangars with elite mesh weaver spamming AP Beta 3 over FAW 3?

No - although i'd like that idea as well.
What I really want so see is the Tarantula with (2) Recluse Pets which in Turn spawn elite mesh weaver:))
That would really make the ship worthy of an Fleet-Admiral:)
+ a console which creates those mirror universe rifts, and spawns up to 3 cruiser class ships. 2 min cooldown of course :P

Haha, never thought I'd ever be able to use that line in here.
