I like the look, and I'll probably like the stats too.
However I can never actually win the race that gets me the tokens or whatever that allows me to get the ship. I've never been able to get a Breen ship in all the years I play.
That is my same problem. Oh well, I will just save some more money for next time there is a ship sale. Thank you for the ship that I cant never get. At least when we had the Q event was an event that I was able to do. But never have been able to do the winter races. How come devs you can't figure out another way, for us who canT do the race, to earn tokens?
Sorry that race is so freaking easy. And theres a nice little thread posted how to win it every time!
There's a variety of techniques to complete the race. I believe anyone with a connection that can work for at least two minutes at a time can complete the races, no matter how clumsy (s)he is.
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
I don't mind the race ,but it would be better if we could skate the track...
Seriously, t he ice skating on the sea is wonderfully done, why aren't there more opportunities to use them? One could even reuse the feature on Risa perhaps, with roller/inline skates.

null Yes, the ice skating is very well done. I especially like the jump stunts. The race should be speed skating with a skill element and increased movement from traits.

Easy? Perhaps.
Irritating - definitely.
Only have 200 tokens so far - feels like I'll never get 1000.
25 days worth. While 'day' in this case is the STO typical 20 hours. That's same as all summer and winter events before.
Your previous question about the 400 tokens was only used on the last two anniversary events where the daily stayed at 40 tokens but an associated mission awarded those full 400 tokens on first play (thus cutting the amount of needed daily runs to 15).

If you really like the jump stunts... Play Champs. Some of the movement powers are very similar. Like Gymnastics.
null I left Champions with 32 characters after the Might nerf in, what year was that? 2011? Ya those travel powers were good. For sto however, the race could be so much more entertaining. Here the race is more about vectoriing a Tokyo drift type of control in turns combined with traction and speed boosts and traction using map terrain. I don't remember sliding on any surfaces in Champions.

They nerf ed might and changed enrage to a form. PvPrs didn't like how the combination of enrage and AOPM was allowing characters outside the set to do ungodly damage. So they nerf ed enrage. My growth might characters took a huge hit in damage and could not longer maintain size. Pissed me off because the situation could have been done differently without killing might, which was already underperforming. So I promised if they didn't fix what they broke I would stop spending and quit. I am true to my word.
Player and forumite formerly known as FEELTHETHUNDER
so i'm assuming from my brief glance at it on the champs wiki that might is some kind of archetype and enrage is one of the powers in said archetype?
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
It looks like the Cygnus from "The Black Hole". That not a bad thing, I love that ship. This maybe the first winter ship I go after.
It's the first Breen ship I actually like, but like the others it's not gonna be mine because that stupid race is impossible. I've never once successfully completed one in three years playing this game.
I wouldn't call it impossible, but there is a technique required.
First step is knowing that the root keeping you from jumping the gun expires before the other racer starts to move. You can ALWAYS get a head start if you move as soon as you can. You need that head start, because unlike you the other racers don't slip.
Next, run on straightaways, slide before you get to a turn, and walk through the turn. The Breen almost caught up to me last night, but I got ahead of him and stayed there because he can't run on the straight as fast as I can.
Note that straight does not necessarily mean staying in the center of the path. Straight means the straightest possible line between one turn and another.
If you're about to slide too far, start jumping and it will stop the slide. Turning away from the direction of the slide while moving forward will slow you down so you can get control again. Ice works basically the same as the inertia slide some of the starships have.
When you get the hang of how far you can slide without going off the course, you can do the race even faster and slide around a turn. That takes some practice and you have to control your speed.
I use my mouse for movement control, holding down both buttons. If you're using wasd, your mileage may vary.
One race I had the root never started so I was able to get a massive head start

Enh, from what I've heard most ATs actually aren't that good.
AT? Do you mean archtypes? I was talking about freeform.
Anyway, I don't want to derail this thread with external game talk. Yes enrage was a hold breaker and attack buff that increased the number of stacks of enrage and therefore damage on certain attack types.
Cryptic's various games and animations share much of the same code and game mechanics. They have some great artists ('splosions, Tacofangs, and many more) who assign special effects and such with that code. It is fairly easy to share character animations, basic power or ability types. It should be easy to make the STO race into a skating race by using the current animation, putting in some stunts, a track, maybe a little roller derby elbow checking, and let your captains go wild on fast ice.

All I can think when I look at this ship is that it must have been made by the Replicators:
two thing 1st on your post which replicators the Milky way or pegasus replicators ?
And secondly the more important part when are we finally gonna get some of the ships from the Lobi Store, Lockboxes or free events to have more than just bridge interiors as i feel it is a waste of time even going to look inside ships now if all you can access is the bridge in fact include into that list the Scimitar a brilliant ship which u saw the inside of in Nemisis but in game you get the bridge and the Thalaron Generator room pls cryptic create some new interiors for some of these ships! Pretty Please

Pegasus replicators didn't design their own ships really, they used replicas of Ancient ships.
Does anyone else have the camera placement of this ship acting off in sector space? Mine is stuck at 3 0'clock high and I can only see the ship on the bottom of my screen.

Still 12 hours off from last race and project completion.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
I took her out for the first time this prevening. The camera is only bad in sector space. She's a fun ship. I got oneshotted by the Terrans but other than that is plenty durable. I got 103,000 hull. I enjoy the winter wonderland freeze ray. The visual effect on Terok Nor was spectacular. I also really enjoyed the emperor's lighting bolt console from the lobster. And she is a lobstah. There is no denying it.
I got the 3 piece Terran weapons. Very disappointed in the secondary torpedo launcher. This needs to be always active not on a 2 minute cooldown. Come on. I'm not certain it even fired at all. But everything else is real nice. I'll fly her for a while. Had been in the Breen carrier all year.

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
I have the same camera issue in sector space. I left a comment in bug reports, if anyone wants to chime in and say that it's happening to them, too.
I suppose in a week or so, almost everyone will have the Rezreth (two more days for me) and then will come on the forums to complain. I suppose then the issue will get noticed.

Other than the display bug in sector space it's a pretty decent ship. At least for a player who's not worried about being top DPS and just playing for fun.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
Run as fast as you can (shift and all) and double tap to roll if you are near the edge. Have been doing that for years ...
Where the hell is the ship tho? Cant seem to locate the NPC... Maybe i need to reinstall or w/e!
