    Oh... don't worry... Once the Romulans are accepted into the Federation, their space navy/armada will be dismantled and incorporated into Starfleet.

    As long as Romulan warbirds are still being made I don't give a hoot. Let feds fly our ships, let fed fly kdf ships. Just as long as they are still being made and have different stats then feds to make them interesting buys. That feds might consider.

    Excaliber should have the command spec nt sure bout a flight deck cruiser. A cruiser / escort combo might b nice as suggested. A light nimble ship that can punch

    You seen these forums? If someone isn't constant about keepin on topic then the within the next 3 pages we'll be in the middle of a flame war between 2-3 forumites about something that isn't even STO related

    Come on, just about every cruiser has command spec, it's a bit overdone at this point.

    The only one that isn't overdone at this point is temporal and that... no just wouldn't fit well

    If you were a time traveler visiting 21st century earth wouldent you want a vechile that looks like its from 21st centuary earth?. Holograms are ok but if u lose the power ur still wanna blend in. Temprol spec might be perfect if yhe ship is for a temprol agent

    well no, if *I* were a time traveller I would want a big massive badass ship to aid me in conquering this pisspot planet but thats me and off topic

    The temporal ships are all ent-j based in style and those faction agnostic things. I just dont see a Temporal spec seating working for something made at the end of the 24th century to be the workhorse of the 25th century.

    you know I have always heard "CBS said no" but no one ever links the original statement. I've been around since Beta and I have yet to see it...

    Just a moment, if there's another thread about handling the power creep in the game, shouldn't there be a hold put on new T6 ships and implied traits until that's worked out?

  • kodachikunokodachikuno Member Posts: 6,020 Arc User1
    back to the topic plz, this isn't a t6 connie thread.
    As for putting a hold on new ships... lol the game will shut down first. Thats cryptic's primary cash cow

    I wonder how much cash they wud make from a t6 excaliber since theres no t5 version. Knowing our luck she will b a lock box shop

    Yh that is what was reported as being the case. But. Now with timelines having a ISS Enterprise 1701 i wonder if things than changed. So we would b allowed the exeter / excaliber / vesper combo

    and the Excalibur isn't a constitution so that's a non-issue. And before anyone dredges up the 'it looks like one' so does the Ent-C Ent-D and several other STO ships. And if the rumors of a JJPrize coming, similar to the rumors it will be a t6, than there is even LESS argument against a t6 Excalibur.

    Hell just fancy up the skin(and required mesh) and I'll spend 300z to unlock it on a Galaxy or other similarly shaped toy.

    Being completely interchangeable with the same technical outcome is far from just looking similar.

    True, but its also, imo, more likely than a standalone t6 excal :P

    The problem is Cryptic has repeatedly stated that the Excalibur/Exeter/Vesper are alternate skins for the Constitution Refit/T2 Cruiser, and as such, were (contractually) barred from becoming an endgame ship.

    Don't expect anyone to post a link to it, as the statement was made so long ago, the links to it re-direct to the main forum page. Unless someone from the Cryptic team comes into this thread and repeats that statement, you will be unable to find an official word on it. And I highly doubt that they would as they are more than likely extremely tired of repeating themselves.

    Keep in mind, I really like the Excalibur design and would love for it to become an alternate skin for an endgame ship (particularly for the Avenger/Arbiter) since they are extremely close in size.

    Well it would seem many others like that design as well, to the tune of 31 pages in this Thread, that also cost one his Forum 'life'.

    Not to discuss moderation or anything, but I doubt this thread led to that, as it was already fairly lengthy when it happened, and the thread itself hasn't been given the axe yet.

    The excaliber must be one of the most wanted ships ingame atm to last 31 pages. Geko said in a recent interview that there "wasent 1 yet" which i belueve to mean its being discussed and considered. The avanger / arbiter would be a nice fit
  • kodachikunokodachikuno Member Posts: 6,020 Arc User1
    At least 5 people like it enough to have voted for it to be its own t6 design.
