Blah to the ship. I was hoping for a new Ferengi ship not some random weird TRIBBLE alien ship. Whatever, means I don't have to go nuts this year trying to unlock it.
I generally love the Summer event and this new ship looks lovely, but this will be the third escort for summer I hope next year we will get a Sci ship. Though I am loving the tetryon idea for this one. Tetryon weapons always get so much hate, its good to see some love thrown at them.
Space is vast, it's wonderful and maddening. Yet in that madness is some of the greatest beauty I have ever seen.

Vorgon? You mean Vorlon right? So, uh.. when's the Risian governement finished installing the Babylon 5 station in orbit (with financial and advisory support of the lobi consortium, of course)?
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.
Vorlons aside, that ship not only looks organic, it looks furry! Vorgons = Ferasans confirmed!

How does claiming on other toons work? Say I run the event and finish with my engie but want the ship for a tac admiral, does the tac admiral have to have the event slotted or can he just go claim it from the event tab?
The ships looks pretty flashy. May just be a nice match for the omega force space set.
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.

Once one toon unlocks it, other toons on the same account can claim the ship through the event reclaim store.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.

I hope they post Admiralty stats for it. Not really feeling the ship itself, trait is an oddball that doesn't seem like much use, so that just leaves the Collectable Card Game. "Ignores +/-Eng" with decent Eng for an escort would work well for me, as I don't have any T5/T6s with that.

Usually. I'm still waiting for CS to fix the breen ships. I've sent them screenshots of one character clearly having the ship and screenshots of other characters with the option to claim it greyed out.

Tetryon is my favorite weapon type. The color and the SFXgrabbed me since the first time I tried them. They are a tad under-powered for most peoples liking at endgame. Me, don't care about DPS as much as I do fun.
The ship itself looks different enough, and I have to agree with toiva, the color pattern makes it look furry. It'll be interesting to see what other customization options there are. I miss the options that the Risian ships had, SOOOOO many patterns to choose from.
A summer science ship wouldn't be a bad thing, either.
And we (or *I* at least) still haven't seen the TOS swimsuits yet.
Thursday looks to be the start of some fun. And some grind.
Hmm, fun grind...

Meh, just make it Thursday already!
Hello. My name is iamynaught and I am an altaholic.
I really want to know, though, do the ships hang in the air in much the same way that bricks don't? Mr. Adams, you are still sorely missed.
We'll have to assume that because this is a "Vorgon" ship versus a "Vogon" ship, we might see a bit better hanging in the air than a standard brick. Maybe like how a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick hangs in the air after smashing through certain objects

Tetryon Escort? Oh boy... Let the DPS Elitist haterade flow like springwine....
Other than that.... I was hoping the trait itself would be something that boosted mines on using mines.... Sadly I need B:FAW or C:SV.... Something i don't intent to have on a Torp/mine bomber.....
We don't want what the Feds have. We want the equivalent. We want fairer treatment. Concern, desire, greed to some extent, and passionate belief that the enough people would buy KDF items to make it worth Cryptic's while.
I will wait until I see more new items to get first. So far I can care less about the ship. Odd thing is the ship is announced before the Vorgon is even in the game. So this tells me we will see them soon enough.

I never got the first Summer Event Ship (didn't like the look of it) but I could care less.
Even though I started the Rep. on my Main Toon, I never finished it, it's till sitting in my list.
I'll probably delete it this year.
<shrug>
A question: Why not just finish the project with that character for an account-wide Admiralty Ship, and get the new one using a different character?
As to the ship itself, I like the aesthetic, and we already had suspicions of this due to earlier info leaks... but I'm still kind of disappointed by the lack of a Risian Science Vessel to finish off the old set. The maneuverability of the Risian ships made them a heck of a lot of fun, and they both worked pretty well until I gained access to a better array of T6's. Ah well, she's still a nice looking ship, and I look forward to the rest of the info on her.
I was wondering, though, if...
Starship Trait
After achieving level 5 in the Vorgon Xyfius Heavy Escort starship mastery, you will unlock the Harasser Mines Starship Trait. While this trait is slotted and either Cannon: Scatter Volley or Beam: Fire at Will is active, your directed energy weapons will trigger a Chroniton Mine to appear within 1.5 km of each target affected by the initial activation of either Cannon: Scatter Volley or Beam: Fire at Will. This can occur once every 20 seconds.
...means that we'll spawn up to 3 mines per weapon with C:SV (around every 30 secs thanks to cooldown mismatch) and up to 2 mines per weapon with B:FAW (around every 20 secs thanks to cooldown sync), or if that is up to one mine per target? In any case, it's a neat idea to add in some kinetic weaponry to an all-energy payload... and I have a stray Tetryon user with exactly that type of setup.
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.

My thinking exactly!
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Joking aside, I like the organic look.
"This console may be equipped on any Vorgon starship."
So, Vorgon lock box? Or the first of a new series of summer ships?
Personally, I don't see much use for the console but the ship trait is interesting.
Dust off the powerboards & floaters, grab the tiny shovel + bucket and get ready to WAAAAVE YOUR HANDS! XD

I kind of thought it looked like a psychedelic shark myself.

Mmhmm, http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Vorgon
Not really thrilled with a ship that's focused around mines. But, at least it's not another ferengi ship.
Other than that.... I was hoping the trait itself would be something that boosted mines on using mines.... Sadly I need B:FAW or C:SV.... Something i don't intent to have on a Torp/mine bomber.....

You know next lockbox will be the Vorgon lockbox which will sell various Vorgon ships with fleet versions etc.
I can go add this ship to my collection of ship boxes that I never opened lol.
