Nothing, it's just hard to believe that something so highly requested is actually happening.
Here's the picture again to act like a pinch to wake you.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

However, I've just seen that it's mentioned the Sutherland has access to other costumes (Venture, Phenix etc.) whereas there is nothing mentioned for the T6 Vor'Cha being linked to the other Vor'Cha ships.
Unless it's an oversight Cryptic is either pulling another Kor, where they flat out cannot be bleeding arsed to fix the B'Rotlh bug, or whatever half-arsed stuff they pulled with the D7 where it has 5 different hulls over many different versions (promo D7, old crappy D7, crappy K't'inga, the unnamed refit, and the Koro't'inga) none of which can be customised as with every single other ship line ingame (including even the TMP and TOS Connis now) and some hulls just flat out aren't available across every version of it.
They could also be pulling whatever hate they have for the Ambassador that prevented it from having a T6 by acting as if the Guardian was a different ship (I'd assume Gecko was personally to blame for that, he hates the Ambassador and was the reason it took so long to get it ingame at all).
Edit: The Romulan ship looks like a version of the Aelahl, which would be nice as that's a lone little ship all by itself.

I'm guessing these ships will have Temporal hybrid seats. I'm glad to see some non-Fed science vessels available and I can't quite unsee the Babylon 5 Whitestar comparison now, but I'm a bit iffy about buying ships with a trait and console that don't really fit how I play. I suppose my Romulan sci toon can stick with a Dyson Science Destroyer for now and I'll take another look during the first ship sale after I roll up a KDF science captain.
However, I've just seen that it's mentioned the Sutherland has access to other costumes (Venture, Phenix etc.) whereas there is nothing mentioned for the T6 Vor'Cha being linked to the other Vor'Cha ships.
Going to buy this as soon as I get home! Wait, are they available now or is this a future thing?
Not ingame yet, but considering the blog, maybe this upcoming maintenance?
If it's like most other ship releases, we'll get stats tomorrow (or Wednesday) and actual ships in C-store Thursday. And since it's IIRC the same week as US Thanksgiving (and Black Friday) this makes even more sense...

More likely Wednesday, since Thursday is a major US holiday
Word! Also attn all scrubs! Buy the pack ... or this will be the last science ship for KDF and RR. I'm doing my part as soon as they are up in the store.

Yeah, they've pulled a Guardian on it. I suppose it's too much to ask to add in the couple of extra hours to give Klingons or Romulans the ability to kitbash.
Still, as I pointed out above with their treatment of the B'rel and D7 it's not entirely unexpected that they just couldn't be arsed to make that final little push of effort after finally giving in to letting Kling and Rom players have a go with some science ships.

I doubt it's Vor'Cha compatible, but it looks Vor'Cha inspired, with some Kurak mixed in. Not neccessarily the best combination. But it's a Klingon SV.
The Romulan ship has some weird thing going on its aft - I guess that it's equivalent of a mission pod?
It's a Vor'Cha. The only Klingon ship with a mission pod (even more obvious on the Vor'Kang).
I don't know what you people have against it.
Nothing. I hope it's a Vor'Cha, but they have never changed the class of a ship in one of these Tier 6 upgrades, and there is a lot of mention on the Sutherland being able to use other NEbula parts, and not a tiny mention of the same applying to the Klingon ship.
I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I actually only WANT NAU the sci warbird, and probably won't have the budget for the full bundle, does that count?
I too am surprised that the new Sci vessel isn't a Nova given players are clamouring for it. I have to assume that since the Equinox sucked compared to Voyager, the T6 version must therefore be inferior to the T6 Intrepid, and no-one is going to want that.

Wow, this might actually get my KDF Sci out of his Korath at last...
SCIENCE!
"Good heavens ms. Romulan Ship, you're beautiful!"
Forget the Nebula. This thread is about the first true romulan and klingon SV's since the Temporal-SCV's (which don't really count)
I know right!
This is all because of Dukat, delivering on his promises to make STO great again!
I voted for Kai Opaka and now must eat a hat as well.

Yeah...
If these ships came out before the 31st century temporal ships, then I would not have bothered to buy that bundle... Well played Cryptic, well played.
Kai Opaka is actually used for neverending target-practice since the Jem'Hadar discovered that weird nano-machine-infested planet she's stuck on. :P

(Also, that's a weird little antenna spike coming out of its chin). I do see a lot of Aelahl in the design, and that's no bad thing.

it's a "future thing", but since it got announced it should be real soon.
The money I was gonna use to buy the T6 Vizier (Wizkids) is going towards this bundle instead.
I wouldn't get my hopes up.
