Andorian Light Escort - I'd buy it just for blue phaser phuntimes

davefenestratordavefenestrator Member Posts: 10,865 Arc User
This ship was only available as a bonus for buying a Neverwinter Founder's Pack.

If Cryptic/PWE would add it to the C-Store, I'd buy one just for access to blue phasers. I'm not buying the T5 escort bundle because it's T5. If they won't offer us a T6 escort they could give blue phaser fans this light escort as an alternative.

Edit: wiki entry for the light escort = http://sto.gamepedia.com/Andorian_Light_Escort

    Love that little ship, should be available for lobi or something.. in fact, every "promotional" and lockbox ship, should be available in the lobi store.

    So, you are unlucky with the boxes? just gather enough lobi, and you can buy it if you want.. more simple, as the only way to get lobi is by opening boxes...

    I thought the individual ships were still available, outside of the 3 pack...

    You can get the blue phasers. They are on the Dil store. I got a T5 Andorian with them. I'm leveling my Delta Tac who is an Andorian Theme. So she that will be her main ship with those weapons. They cost around 20k Dil per weapon. Some grinding and they can be yours.

    Last time I checked, dil store and fleet store would not sell me Andorian goodies without owning an Andorian ship :(

    Buy the 500 zen Enterprise. You get infinity blue phasers. They free upgrade to mk xii crth dmg. You can keep claiming and dismissing the Enterprise unlimited times...jeep claiming additional beam arrays.

    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.

    If you get the TOS phasers, be prepared for the annoying 1960s phaser sound effect, every...single...time...they...fire...every...shot...over...and...over.

    i would give lobis for the ships rather then giving it to people who sell those way over priced

    Except it doesn't pig-2.gif

    Look at this image right here. The phased biomatter weapons have that weird wavy squiggly line in them that literally makes them look like snot guns. Andorian phasers are straight blue phasers with an almost unmodified phaser sound effect. It is a difference.​​

    But only if you own one of the T5 Andorian ships :(

    They are meant to be special and unlockable, if your too cheap to unlock them that's your problem.

    They'd need some attention, though. Craftable mods and omni beam would go a long way making them desireable again. And then we need other subfaction specific weapons for both sides: Vulcan particle beam, Tellarite phasers, Gorn sonic disruptors, Orion phased disruptors and nausicaan ravaging/radiating disruptors pig-1.gif​​

    Agreed, I collect rare weapons I would love the ability to upgrade them into more usefulness.

    Yes it is, which is one reason why I'm saying I'd like to buy either the cheaper escort or a more expensive (but non-existent) T6 escort. I'm only too cheap to buy an outdated T5 escort.

    Well, they are technically not really outdated. They are fleet level out of the box and T5U they are quite capable with 5 tac consoles and such. No hybrid and one less boff, sure, but as far as escorts go you'd be well off using them (but I'm not a escort Targ, I just got the Charal for the phasers pig-2.gif )​​

    Wish I could...I wanted to equip a Fed ship with Phased Biomatter but it's hard if not impossible to find what I want...and if I do it's like 20 million+ a beam for the stats.

    To the OP, does the light escort even give access to the Andorian Phasers?

    I'm guessing yes since it comes equipped with an Andorian beam array, but I can't buy one to see for myself :(
  • eighrichteeighrichte Member Posts: 338 Arc User
    I had a Twitter convo with a dev months ago, asking about craftable Andorian phasers. I was told that it was something they were planning to do, but that it required some tech they hadn't built yet, for apparently complicated reasons. So, I'll hold out hope, because Andorian phasers look and sound great (particularly in conjunction with the new Quantum Phase weapons), but I won't hold my breath.
