Vorgon heavy escort? Wasn't it mentioned earlier that the Vorgon ship would be a Heavy escort carrier?
It's a bit refreshing to see a new ship without hangar bays.
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.
The more I look at that ship, the more I'm convinced that it's covered with fur, has squinting cat eyes and the consoles on board purr when someone operates them ^^

You know what I miss? The crew number. Not the crew mechanism because it was pointless, but the crew number.
Now, I can't know if a ship requires an army of tribbles to work (like Obelisk) or a chimpanzee and two trainees (like the Baltim), which makes me sad for my lore interests.

It's a "heavy escort", so besides the two chimpanzees there's 3 ferrets to (oooh, sparky. Redshirt...) command the redshirts to sparky console fates...
At least, till there's only 2 or 3 left, at which point the rest are stuck running the ship with the chimps...
Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

I'm conflicted with this and my Fleet Faeht. True, no Enhanced Battle Cloak, but those stats and boff seating have me scratching my head on why I bought my Intel ship in the first place. Also, it doesn't rely on a Singularity core.
Kind of curious what the stats for the admiralty card will be.

Is it really claimable at lvl 40? Maybe it's event ship thing I didn't notice before, but I thought all T6 are 50+ only.
If true, having an intel escort at 40 could be fun.
Event ships are claimable at 40, I used the Breen Carrier on Delta toon as soon level 40 was gained. C-Store and Fleet T6 ships probably do require 50, though.
Ok, acc to the wiki other event T6s have stats for lvl 40 too... So it's not something new (and a good thing to know for the next time I'm levelling an alt through 40-50.)
That ship has REALLY good stats! My alien ship character will have fun until Christmas!
Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

We'll have fun in the event guys, my PC has decided to die the night before the event starts. No hope of getting it fixed in time so that'll be me sitting this one out.
That escort looks really nice as well, I'm a big miffed I'll miss out on it.
Since they mentioned this console can only be used on Vorgon ships I am suspecting a Vorgon Lock Box or a tie-in event to offer something like the Vorgon Ryn'kodan Battleship along with another ship or something in the near future. This will be the free to all event ship, there will be a gambling Lock Box ship, then there will be a Lobi ship to round off the trio with a synergy tie-in between all three.
If that console could move to non-Vorgon ships, I'd be interested. As it is, I have enough ships I'm not flying. Might pass on this one.
You might just get it for the Admiralty system. And you can always delete the ship and get it later if you find that you want it later.
Yeah, I'm not going to pretend I've used every event ship, but I always get them because to not get them means I can't change my mind later.
Same here. And sometimes I have seen where I didn't want to use a ship, didn't like how it looked, but ended up trying it and finding out it worked better for how play than I thought it looked like on paper.
Besides, if they take the console it make it into a set in the future, at least you will have it, if you find that you like the set.
Meh. Usually when I need more Eng on my Rom characters (less often a problem on KDF, and a non-issue Fed side for me), I also need high Sci at the same time, making this not very helpful. If it ignored +/-Eng instead, it'd be nice to combine with the Breen Dreadnought and Event DSD cards when a large attached Event (like Borg Transwarp Conduit) on an already large mission stat assignment came up.
Can I just say that I love the design of the stripey Floaters and especially the Gorn hula shirt giving the choice of guys or gals as a pattern There is so many goodies to get I will be busy I think
Not useless, but there are a number of ships with High Tact and mid Eng skill setups. They really need to add more Sci ships t the mix.
Considering how many science and science focused ships they've released lately - Jupiter, KSV, Paradox, Na'Kuhl SV - they were probably fairly due for something else.
having played it now, I'd hope they refine the temporal artifact search a little more... like give an apx distance or narrow down the search arms as you get closer.
Now if we weren't limited on where we could use the outfits and people could still earn ships from the past few years. Might actually make this mind numbingly boring event worth doing.

Sounds a lot like a Morrigu. A good setup imo

Yes. Need Admiralty stats. I have no reason for this unless the card is decent.

This needed way more advertising to get people excited for the summer event.

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Yeah, it made me smile.
Also, my only complaint this year is that there wasn't a Risian Luxury Cruiser in a holding pattern in the sky like in the UI menu.
... or a Risian Corvette that buzzes the lighthouse every so often.
