T6 Assault Cruiser

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Today's free item is an Admiralty Ship Card, but it's an Assimilated Assault Cruiser (T6). That's interesting because there is no Assault Cruiser (T6)... yet. Do you think this is a tease for what is to come, or do they list all Legendary Admiralty Ship Cards as T6?

    I would be all over a T6 Sovereign. Give it a unique "assimilated" skin, and the BO/console layout of the Rezreth (minus the hangar), weapon/console that forms a set with the wide-angle quantum torpedo, and make it obtainable for free by completing some kind of "shakedown" (or rescue, battle drill, etc) mission similar to what they did back when the Odyssey was first released.

    I know, I know. Keep dreaming.

    I like the idea. But is an assimilated skin all that unique? Considering the assimilated set is the oldest "set" in the game with a pretty standard visual display we've seen for ages now? I'd want a T6 Assault Cruiser to have a unique skin definitely. Assimilated though? Ehhhh, not really moving my personal needle much.

    Give it the Assimilated set and there you go. Or use the Assimilated set visuals in the upcoming visual slots.

    I'd switch gears from saving for the Andromeda to a T6 Sovy in 2 seconds if they announced a T6 Sovy.

    Yes, I'm aware of the Assimilated set's visuals. I've got pieces that were acquired before there was an Omega reputation, when the engine/deflector/shield were a 4-piece with the console. It's dated, and I disable most of the visuals, but I still like it better than the brightly colored "STO: Tron edition" visuals from other sets. Admittedly only visual I still like is from the shield, and I'd like to see that expanded to a solid hull material option. Though I do understand that won't be to everyone's taste.

    I was considering getting the Terran set for my Tactical Pilot Escort. The dark color would look pretty good on the USS Kirito. After all... her namesake liked to wear black.

    Yeah nice dream. They never give ships away like this anymore. Just make you grind 1000 TRIBBLE vouchers.

    It'll happen, now that the Odyssey fad is over with.

    It's going to be rather interesting to see if they give it Command or Intel seating (or a combination of both, which would be nicer) although the console and boff layout is likely predictable.

    Not sure if I'd even get one- not that the item isn't practical, but rather I'm not a huge fan of their pricing structure increases on ships (from 500 Zen per tier to 1000 Zen per tier, for example) because for that price I can buy a whole new game or something more tangible than an in-game pixel shiny.
    It's not you- it's me. I just need my space.

    Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.

    I'm thinking it will get seating for the new specialization coming up.

    The new specialization (with s11.5) is secondary, not primary. For a new line of boff abilities (which only come with primary specializations) we're probably going to have to wait some time (which is what I'm afraid might delay a T6 Sovy there's no question as long as the game's running that it is coming, but when undoubtedly depends on how it fits with cryptics other plans.)

    I think it is ridiculous because they were to chicken to give away a T5 fed super ship.

    Well... a T6 Sovy would most likely come with a revamped Sovereign model ala Galaxy and almost all the others that got a T6 version. *looks at the lack of updated model for the Excelsior*

    My guess is the T6 variant skin will have nacelles similar to the Hestia.
    But I'll be using the standard Sovereign skin. ^^

    If and when they do make a T6 Sovy... the Lexington's getting yet ANOTHER refit. She started life as a standard Assault Cruiser, got bumped up to Assault Cruiser Refit, got bumped up to T5U, then another bump up to Fleet T5U.

    I too would like intel seating but we're overly saturated with intel ships, I predict Strategic seating, whatever that ends up being.

    Strategic is only a secondary. Not a primary like Command and Intel. Before Pilot became a Primary, there were no Pilot abilities for BOffs, and there are not Commando abilities for BOffs now.

    I didn't say that the T6 Assault Cruiser would come out tomorrow. The strategic tree will eventually be expanded at which point my prediction could come true.

    I do not mind a T6 Sov getting a command or an Intel. But I like Command more than Intel. I don't know I find it more helpful to me than Intel. But that's just me. But if they decide to give it a Pilot then I'll be dancing like there is no tomorrow lol :P but seriously though I don't think they will give it another 180 degree torpedo spread again.

    If I do have one wish is that they give it the Carbonite Reflector from Star Trek Armada lol :p

    Or maybe a 360 degree lance that changes damage type depending on shich beam weapon you're using or 360 micro quantum torpedo spread.

    Honestly I kinda wish that the ship-specific lances like on the gal-x would adapt to the damage type your ship is using primarily, or there was a item or such that you could slot (like in the device slot) that would alter the damage type of your lance weapon.

    Do you mean all 3 specializations? Because if you mean say command and pilot, don't forget about the Olaen.

    A Tier 6 Assault Cruiser is/was inevitable really, wasn't it? :tongue: The only other T6 we're probably missing at the minute is the Vor'cha (maybe it'll be released as a Science Vessel) :lol: ...but yeah, a T6 Assault Cruiser is all but eventually obvious. It'll probably have a new skin, and a revised Sovereign model like the other (re)released ships have had.

    And I'd think it'll come with Season 11.5, can't see it coming before.

    You're only hypothesizing that at the moment. As it stands, it seems perfectly likely that Strategist will be the Space version of Commando: it will always be Secondary only.

    No, no, no. They're releasing my T6 Assimilated Assault Cruiser for free, tomorrow. Claimable by one play-through of a mission where we recover the body of Kirk from Veridian III and resurrect him with nanites so he can take command of a NPC-only, T6 Constitution class hero ship and lead the fleet in an attack that finally eradicates the Borg.

    We are due for a new 3-ship pack 3 months after the Flagships came out (which is next month), so a good guess is that this is a clue about what will be in it. Logical guess would be the Sovvy, Vor'cha, and Ha'feh (or maybe Dhelan).
