    Just wanted to stop in and say congratulations...if you're in game rich. I mean an actual legit Vengeance....NEVER thought that would happen. Have fun with her, she's a beast.

    Thank you thank you! :grin:

    I have about 500 lobi and a LOT of keys ready. Haven't started my attack run on the Deathstar yet but I am absurdly grateful it's NOT an ultra-rare like the Annorax. I'm still a little miffed at the Romulan thing, but no sorrow can live long in me while I'll be romping around in S31's signature BEAST.

    Edit: Well that was spooky. Drew a D4x on my seventh key :). 213 keys left, now to be used on Romi and Feddie captains.

    1x D4x (7th key - end of Klingon run)

    I'm really not at all interested in the Connie, but it looks like its the only way to get a Aux Ejection Array as a Fed to complete the console set :anguished:.

    Next-up: Pop those weapon boxes and see if I can get a squiggly phasers set that doesn't suck :). I'm also really interest to see how the KY photon torpedoes feel. The reload affix sound nifty, but it could be imperceptible.

    Sorry to hear that :(. Gotta go in looking for more than just the grand prize though. The ship traits and the console packs aren't common, but they can still be a nice little find when you do get one. And I'm really hopeful the KT Doffs will prove to be useful.

    Oh, for two piece bonus the Proton Charge/Mining Laser choice pack will meet the requirements and be just about infinitely cheaper. And I think either off them will be more useful than the Ejection Array too.

    Good call with the Terran rep deflector. I've just run my first deep space encounter to shake her down and she is a JOY to fly.

    I'm not immediately loving the default skin for some reason. Right now I'm flying with Nukara shields and Inpules showing and overall I'm really liking that alternative. I'll have to take some screencaps soon :)!

    Oh, and the FX for the KT phaser emitters are REEALY satisfying.

    wanna pvp see it for yourself? @diabolical91 i'm on now
  • nikeixnikeix Member Posts: 3,972 Arc User
    Forward Weapons: Phaser Emitters x4; KT Torpedo
    Rear Weapons: Phaser Emitter; Borg Cutting Beam; Quantum Phase Torpedo
    Deflector and Warp Core: Counter Command
    Impulse and Shields: Nukara
    Consoles - Universal Gold: Complete KT set (4), Plasmonic Leech
    Consoles - Universal Other: Adapted Borg (2-piece with cutting beam), Quantum Phase Converter (2-piece with Torpedo)
    Consoles - Tactical: Vulnerability Locator [Phaser] x4

    Not particularly clever, but fun so far :).

    Besides, tell me - does it have alternate materials?

    Dreadnought is the standard scheme for canon depiction. The rest you should be familiar with, though Type 0 is more of a TOS style. The pic is with the Terran Rep visuals. The textures for the ship itself is actually the most plain of any playable ship I've seen in this game, devoid of details. It's why I wouldn't sport the light grey schemes because it looks like I'm flying a piece of chalk.

    I'd chalk this up to the source material. The canon ship depiction in "Into Darkness" is dark as f--- but from I saw, it was also quite plain.

    It has several alternate Materials, yes.

    I decided to go with the 'good guy' version of the Vengeance and use a white hull. Still trying to decide if I want to stay this route or go with the traditional but more 'evil' looking black hull.

    I'm simply adoring it in Tholian plates with the yellow engines (nukara set), but I do need to check out the native skin options. I was a little to eager to get it out of dock and see how it flew :).

    Sorry for the delay - real life plus getting my Temporal recruit off to t a good start kept me away from the black beauty longer than I liked. All pictures taken in Renderscale 5 and reduced (the originals are about 10x as large!!). The detail they put into her is staggering. And I am thrilled the cut-outs are there in the roots of the pylons. There seems to be only -one- detail missing and I'm gonna ask about that elsewhere :).

    So, while she looks HUGE hovering over you, she's actually a thrown knife coming AT YOU.

    Still rolling with Tholian battle-dress for now. The grey is more neutral and the plating-patterns really says "I am a battleship" to me.

    But make no mistake - that is the shadow of Death passing by...

    I did :yum:

    And as a small aside to flying it... I thought the Aux Ejector Array was going to be the garbage pick of the set, but ho-leee pooo, that thing is like having a second Evasive Maneuvers button. The mines/damage effect is just so you're dramatically backlit as you swing an instant 180 and come back round for 'nother pass. Secret gem of the set.

    I am prepared to say if you fly a raider/escort for either Romulan or KDF and you don't have an Aux Ejector Array for the song they sell for compared to a whole KT ship, you are doing. it. wrong.

    That's pretty much what I was going for. :)

    I like your layout with the Nukara set, that looks really nice on that ship. I'm still playing with the look on the white ship, right now I have the Maco shields in the visual slot, I like the way the glossy look highlights the pattern. I put the Breen Impulse Engines on it because the bluish/white engine trail looks pretty cool. Thinking about putting the Aegis Deflector on it for the blue, not sure yet.

    Still playing around with it, between all the hull materials and the different space sets there is quite a bit that can be done. :)
