I'll bet the Ouroboros Raider is going to become the best hit and run ship in the entire game.
Wait a minute, what am I talking about; all three are going to be the best in their roles. but I do have one suggestion as far as the stats go:
Can we please enable the use of Dual cannons on both the Chronos-class Dreadnought and the Eternal-class since vessel as well?.....
they seem ineresting, but i personally don't need them (I have enough ships + I don't like their shapes).
I have just a question, we (the players) get more and more powers (starship traits, consoles, skills etc etc), and the npc's are still the same, no improvements etc. what is the point of adding more skills, more power creep, to fight against the same mobs again and again?
I know it is important to release ships after ships with new gimmicks etc ($), but maybe it is also necessary to release more endgame contents to enjoy the new stuff!! Even a new player after 1 month in game has a lot of chance to be bored quickly.
Just wondering but if these ships are "faction: Any" idea what price they would be in the Store as I doubt it is standard 3k zen for a ship usable by both factions? (guessing it will be Chronos Dreadnought (fed) and Chronos Dreadnought (kdf) in the store )
Also any idea when the Temporal pack will be in the C-store?
Science isn't my thing, but the dread' cruiser and the raider... I like!
Also liking the Chronotachyon Capacitor and Tactical System Stabilizer
Questions:
Will these three be available in a separate "31st Century Starship Bundle"?
On the side -- any alternative hull materials available? Like with the Dyson Destroyers?
That would certainly make them sell better to folks playing outside of Federation content... I know I'd love that.
At the very least, hopefully the KDF versions of Omega Rep Sets and the Rom Rep Sets will make them look a bit more faction-appropriate (I'm really tempted to headcanon the Chronos to the Qo'noS ) even if we don't get appropriate faction hull materials.
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.

yes these particular 3 ships are cross-faction
considering they are T6 ships, I'm expecting a 3,000 zen price tag
and 6,000 IF they are later packaged into a separate "31st Century Ship Bundle"; not sure if it'll happen
the Temporal pack will be added to the C-Store when the AoY expansion is released

I'd actually expect them to be 3500 Zen, since they are fleet level and need to compete with the 26th century ones at 3000. Either that or they will make the 26th century ones 2500 like the old T5 ships.
Okay, I'm officially hooked. All three ships are pretty cool, though the Eternal and the Ouroboros are more my speed than the Chronos is. The fact that all three are cross-faction makes them must-have ships for me, so I get the most bang for my buck. That makes it virtually inevitable that I'll want the big bundle when AoY launches.
Curses... you've overcome my sales resistance again, Cryptic... Don't count on it happening again soon.
I'd be happy if they'd release more Fed ships at fleet level like the Command Cruisers. Would have been real nice if those 23rd century ships would have come out like these, at least one per group like the highest level ones.
Can the 31st century time ships use hull materials form the other time ships like the T5 temporal science vessels, temporal destroyers, and the Time ship shuttles?

I don't follow what you mean. All Tier 6 C-store ships are 3000 zen, even the ones with extra gimmicks and the fleet level ones.
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.

The Eternal was the ship I looked forward to the most. Unfortunately, I'm sad to say I'm very disappointed in it. Out of the three ships, it's the runt of the litter.
In almost every shape and form, it is inferior to the Wells class and wall less mobile than most mainstream science vessels like the Pathfinder, Vesta and the Luna-classes. The bridge seating is kind of questionable with the focus in LtC Engineering, the Lt Tactical hybrid seat and the floating LtC universal seat. Running the ship science/temporal-wise will be a big sacrifice to any tactical leanings on that ship... which honestly makes the prospect of builds on it awkward. It's only strong point is its shield modifier of 1.475, but the nearest ship to that, the Dyson Science Destroyer, equals or outperforms it in most other ways (within the limitations of a T5U ship lacking the extra bridge officer station).
The Chronos and the Ouroboros are amazing. They compete both well with other contemporaries. The Chronos has an amazing turn rate for its ship classification, a dreadnought being only .5 lower than the nimble Paladin-class battlecruiser (which had an exceptional 10). The Ouroboros is also a top-performer for its role too, making the first C-Store raider non-klingons can get an extremely good one.
Whereas the Eternal is unexceptionally mediocre. At the very least, it'd need a hull increase to make up for the lower turn rate or an increase in turn rate to at least 13 to follow in the same vein as other temporal vessels shown off. Not to mention science/temporal powers are mostly in the front-arcs dual beam banks have.
C'mon, ShipDevs, you can do better than that. I expected that from the Resolute or Andromeda-classes, not the Wells' goddamn 31st-century successor.
I know it was a longshot, but I was hoping for singularity core versions with Warbird abilities for the Roms. Cross-faction is cool, but I don't really want my Rom captains to fly a ship without singularity abilities and without battle cloak. It's a step down...
For Feds, though, these are great ships!

hmm very indeed interesting ships you have over here - although the console set bonuses seems to promote beam builds....
EDIT: oh I'm first - yay?
They are already in a discount pack.
"3pack"
"just the cross-faction ships"

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
