New Odyssey

Anybody know anything about a new Odyssey? I remember the story said UP was planning something special for it, but I haven't seen anything since and I'm just wondering if I missed something about it.

    They tend to have a month or two between ship releases, and the Jupiter only came out within the last few days. Expect a month or more before the next one is announced, and it's hard to say for sure what's going to be next. They've been on a "classic" run for a while now with the Excelsior and Defiant, so a Sovereign may come before the Odyssey, but I'm sure we'll get one before too long.

    The universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick is learning how to take a joke.

    Adding a question mark so it doesn't look like you've scooped some news about a new ship might be helpful next time.

    A T6 Vesta isn't completely outside the realm of imagination either. I think the only safe bet is that a T6 Oddy probably isn't going to fall into the regular pattern of c-store releases. It'll probably be timed (in some way) with some kind of event.

    The Ody isn't an exotic bug ship or anything, and has always been a regular C-Store (bundle) purchase. I, for one, would be rather upset if they suddenly went the 'Research & Development-10x-as-much-as-regular' promo box route.

    It was originally the 2nd anniversary ship. The c-store bundle came very shortly afterward if I recall correctly (much like the Free/C-store Dyson ships or the Samsar/Command cruisers).

    Hmm, I forgot. You're right: there really *was* a non C-store version of the Ody once!

    Still, Ody is so canonical, they just need to keep it in the C-Store, where they put it. No backsies!

    The question is if they update the Odyssey will they update the Enterprise-F in the game as well? If they're looking to do that it might take longer since they'd have to get the okay and rights from CBS first.

    Or they could just release new Oddy and keep flag ship the same as before.

    Or maybe the entire Flagship Nine-Pack timed around the Anniversary Event.

    Well...we just got the Jupiter...we'll see the winter ship which is likely the Breen dread in a week or so...then at the end of january is the anniversary ship...so I'd say the odds are not till february or march at the earliest...unless the anniversary involves T6 versions of the flagships.

    Let's hope it comes with a paper bag in the ship tailor...
