Yes! My Nausicaan thanks you all - this is a great day for Non-Klingon KDF characters; I can only hope that soon we'll see T6 Orion and Gorn ships as well...
I know right! Non-Klingon race ships have been all but ignored until now. Apart from fleet variant re-hashes I don't think any non-Klingon ship has been released since launch.
Unfortunately they've already screwed the pooch in regards to Orion ships, the KDF T6 Command Cruisers should've been Orion in design as their functionality and role is exactly that of their T3-5 Orion forbears, but for some reason they're made as Klingon designs. A big shame.
The Kolasi comes equipped with Nausicaan Stinger Fighters. Improved versions of these fighters are available in the Dilithium and Fleet stores.
Holy smokes! The first solely KDF (combat pet) fighter since... STO launched? About time
My only question is, can they be used with other KDF carriers? Everything hanger pet wise lately seems to be tied to that specific carrier, which kills build diversity. We need to be able to slot these (or any fighter for that fact) on other ships.
Are you guys running out of ideas for consoles or something or are you just getting lazy? These faction reskin ships with the same console are becoming a bit much. Where is the creativity? Why get the new dreadnoughts for each faction when they are the same ship with the same console and just a different costume? Some creativity with the consoles would be nice.

Economics my friend.
It's this or nothing for KDF/Roms...
STO rocks, continuing to get us new stuff for STO. Great job everyone Thank You! Curious, for Captains that own the "Galaxy pack" , do we own the new looks already? and new ship stuff? if not, no biggy, just wondering..
I seriously hope they've reworked the BOFF layout of the Gal-X, the previous version was seriously short on Tac slots. As long as they at least have 5 forward guns/5 tac slots (ideally both)! I won't hold my breath on that one though...
Those are unreasonable and illogical expectations. There is currently no Cruiser with 5 Tactical console slots, and the previous Federation Dreadnought Cruiser had a 4/4 setup. There is no precedent for a 5 Tac console Cruiser, nor precedent for a ship with rearranged weapon slots from its lower-tiered versions.
I can't even fathom why this was a wise thing for you to post.
soo after Ive purchased every galaxy/dred... I wont even get a discount on this cash grab will I???
Is EVERYTHING put on sale "cash grabs" now?
Ummm, the Bortasqu' Tactical Cruiser has 5 Tactical console slots. So yes, there is a precedent, however unlikely, for a 5 Tac console Cruiser. I doubt it will happen on these ships, but one is allowed to dream, aren't they?
On the flip side, I'm excited for the T6 Gal-X. The Galaxy bundle was the first big thing I bought off the C-Store and I've flown the Gal-X ever since. An upgrade is much appreciated! Now we just need a T6 Patrol Escort!
I really look forward to this package. However the console feels like inferior version of plasmonic leech. One should think that a T3 console that can be slotted on any ship should be naturaly weaker than T6 console that can be slotted only on one ship, but I'm pretty sure Cryptic will once again surprise me with its "asymetrical (im)balance aproach (tm)".
Just don't TRIBBLE up the layouts with "false choices" again.

Wait... you mean the devs are supposed to be creative and make new things? Huh, who'd have thunk it...
so the devron's name has been removed and the new name is the Yamato? and i was wondering how come the Excelsior didn't get a Remodel or was it fine as it is.
What do you mean? The Devron is still the Galaxy-X (T5 Dreadnought), the Yamato is it's 'successor' as a T6-Dreadnought. And the Excelsior did get a remodel between the 2280's and 2290's (as seen on the Enterprise-B and Lakota as compared to the Excelsior) and in STO a T6 version as the Resolute Adv. Hvy. Cruiser.
i was more or less talking about a remodel of the non refit version of the Excelsior
The only one that looks like it might be interesting is the KDF one for me. My main could use the trait but I doubt I'd use the ship itself considering I'm enjoying my Qib too much. Especially if these ships are anything but intel seating. My Romulan is a tac who uses cannons so the Romulan ship isn't useful and I don't play Fed toons anymore cause I'm tired of contributing to the lack of development for Romulan and KDF ships.
As for alts, well I don't have any cause the specialization system along with the insane amount of RNG in crafting has killed my desire to level alts. Went from 6 toons and a ship buy frenzy to two toons and not really buying much else.
Right so now it is time for you all to start moaning about another ship.
Begin ......
ok we got the T-6 gal-x but what about a new *thinks for a second * ugh ok give me a minute ....*roms got one feds got one kdf got one* ....er....wait wait im gonna get this ok? just hang onto your underroos.
*hrm so whats left...!!!!* EUREKA!!!! i want a pakled dreadnought that travels 5 lys breaks down and forces a random paserby to do remdial tasks and doff assignments with no rewards so that my ship can "GO" again.
10 lys later it breaks down again waiting for the next paserby

Only if we also get a 'crimson shield' token for 100 gpl that lets us leave you stranded... and locks you into that ship until you reach a shipyard. :P
But... but... but... I just bought a Hestia last month!
I just bought a MVAE, a Hestia and a Scryer two weeks ago, so I win!
And now I want a Kolasi and by Kahless' beard, I shall have one! That ship will drain all life from opponents and the Nausicaan Stinger Fighters are just the cherry on the top of one of the most expected and demanded T6 releases.
Ummm, the Bortasqu' Tactical Cruiser has 5 Tactical console slots. So yes, there is a precedent, however unlikely, for a 5 Tac console Cruiser. I doubt it will happen on these ships, but one is allowed to dream, aren't they?
Technically, the Bortasqu' is a battlecruiser, not a regular cruiser. It has only 3 of the comm arrays and it can equip DHCs. Not that it means anything in particular about getting 5 tactical console slots on cruisers, but the Bortasqu' is not classified as a standard cruiser.
I need my T6 Fleet SCIMITAR!!!! But we will need a new type of special to go with that set.
That would get my attention especially if they made it an intell seating.
Yeah! Let's make a ship that'll very likely be OP by default (since the T5-U version remains pretty OP) and give it an 'I win' button.
No thanks.
Ah, a T6 Scimitar would be the proverbial jumping the shark for this game...it will happen at some point. Have not used that ship in a while, but did they ever update the model for the Scimitar? If not, they could at least do that.
T6 scimitard will be the last T6 introduced, for obvious reasons.

Probably in a three pack; Khukri (T6 Scimitar, and pardon my spelling if I have that wrong), Illiad (T6 Odyssey) and bortaS DIb (T6 Bortasqu', translates as "Right of Vengence") as a "Cross Faction T6 Flagships Bundle".

im still waiting for the last 2 iconic ships as well...you know the sov and defiant...
a bird of prey wouldn't hurt either...
only thing that even makes me consider getting this ship is that starship trait, ive been using bo1-3 on all my ship builds for years...

Tier 6 Kara Advanced Warbird, now even more angrier!
Praetor of the -RTS- Romulan Tal Shiar fleet!
It's this or nothing for KDF/Roms...
For Kolasi, most definitely. The other two however are cruisers, so likely get treated as such, with 5 eng consoles.
