On the topic of ships resembling this or that, I'll point out the Naj'Sov to me has a small warbird on its back - not a bad thing at all of course and it still looks plenty Klingon just the same and fits the RP aspects of the KDF-Rom alliance.
[...]I'm just hoping the KDF ship hasn't been 'borted' by certain devs to seal the fate of kdf ships, and hopefully the setup will be decent [...] the Fedternal (its look is so fed it hurts, up to the point I've bought ico shields specifically to make the ship look more kdfy)
Fedternal is so federation I couldn't even get myself to buy it, at least not yet despite being specialist temporal sci, plus I reject the whole unity of the future since other species clearly do not share starfleet and UFP values if not being outright incompatible. Its looks also don't appeal to me, at least the in-game model as compared to screenshots of it.
I'm just happy to have some KDF and Rom Science ships... Honestly I had almost given up any hope of getting any outside of "One size fits all" versions from expanions. Especially a Fleet one at that. I know technically the new Scimitar has a "science" version but to me it's not a sci ship unless it has a "Sensor scan" ability, and two deflectors. I'm still bitter about most of the "sci" ships in most packs not really being Sci ships.
the rom sci ship is nice, but the console and the starship trait are really crappy. who use the tachyon beam??? when most of the ennemies have 1 billion k shield
You know that with the right secondary deflector the tachyon beam is a serious death ray?
Anyway, just read the news are recovering from the nerdgasm for the T6 nebula.
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.
just a reminder..... BUY THESE EVEN IF THEY SUCK.... else you will probably never see a new KDF/RR toy again
I'm trying to work up the will to do so... The fleet module surcharge is annoying the TRIBBLE out of me, but I share your concern for future non-Feddie releases if I don't.
Looking forward to it, but wondering if the Klingon one can have a tailor option to be turned into a Gorn ship, or would that not work? If not maybe having more than 1 pod shape could be easier.
I don't care how either of them look. I'm not flying them to look good. I am flying them because I have wanted a TRUE T6 Science vessel for both Red and Green for a very long time. Now Cryptic, sit down, shut up, quit ruining my life and oh yes -Take My Money!
A six year old boy and his starship. Living the dream.
I certainly hope this is not a T6 Vorcha! I want to say all of you are off you bloody rocker making Vorcha comparisons. I was interested in a Vorcha but not if its a dang gone queen science ship! I dont want do queen science ship. What a waste of a Vorcha class if it is.
I hope all you people can stop whinging now about klink and rom science ships now. It was getting old. You got your bloody queen science ships, are all of you happy now?

I am legitimately tempted to buy all three individually just to show how happy I am to see these. I'll need to see some stats first but I'm almost certainly going to buy one of them.
I've just realised....this is PC only isn't it? us console users won't get these for a long time will we?
It's hard to say. They are not tied to an event, season or story arc so you might not have to wait too long.
There are no competing "less desirable" T6 Rom and KDF science ships to sell you first, so they might bump this to the head of the line to see if console buyers like SCIENCE! too.

I would love a proper T6 Vor'cha battlecruiser as much as the next guy. I even posted a thread recently asking for it.
But the more I think about it, the more I believe I would be disappointed. If we follow the current upgrade logic, it will probably get the universal Lt upgraded to universal/[insert spec] LtCmdr. So far the good news.
Then some of the soft stats would see "improvement". Among them the inertia rating. Which in turn means it wouldn't drift as good anymore as it currently does.
And it would keep it's 4/4 weapon layout. A serious disappointment for me as cannon user.
No, I don't want to see this happen. If it ends up becoming a good science ship I would be happier than seeing it becoming an inferior ship to the Kurak.
It's a shame it's not Gorn in design. Pretty sure this means we'll never see Orion/Gorn ships at T6. Somehow we got the Kolasi for a Nausicaan T6 design. (Cryptic were scraping the barrel for a KDF ship with lance to match the bundle)
I suppose the only sub-faction design we can hope for now is a T6 Karfi.
Glad to finally see T6 Nebula. Although I probably won't fly it much, being a Fed ship, I've always liked the Nebula design.
Also While Romulans don't have any Zen-Store science ships, the KDF have some, which could also make for a nice console set?
Yeah probably not going to happen. KDF sci ships in the lower tiers are all Gorn in design and technically while full blown science ships, they're classed as "support vessels".
Technically, sure why not. Thematically not so much.
But we can hope.
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.
I'm not sure buying the pack is the best way to show specific support for KDF/ROM ships. Obviously it's the best deal if you're getting both/all anyway, but with Cryptic being all stats driven now thanks to PWE they could equally read that as being a FED/ROM purchase.
If you want your dollars to count as much as possible, buy the KDF/ROM ships separately, not the bundle and don't get the Fed ship. Every time a Fed ship is sold, it just adds to the feedback sales loop Cryptic is in.
I really love the KDF one so with stipend I might be able to pick one up next summer Exchange rate way too high to invest the amount of time to buy outrageously priced stuff right now.
While we're on the subject of miraculous ship releases...
...hey Cryptic, is there any chance of a T6 Luna or Luna analog? Outside of the incredibly remote chance of a new Orion FDC, that's the one thing left that I really, really want.
Well after this announcement i'd say nearly anything is possible in STO now.
So what's next? We could be getting anything people have asked for next, as they seem to be going all out for things they refused to do in the past.
Good. I want:
- ARGO and general vehicle combat. (mabbe a motorcycle from Kelvin?)
- pet tab, pet combat
- more melee weps (sword and shields)
- mac and linux client
- ...

T6 Luna would be aces. Get Frakes and Sirtis in to do voice work and use that as an excuse to revamp the Luna and give a nice interior even. Or a Vesta (with Nicole de Boer). Or both :v If we ever get an exploration revamp a ship like the Luna would be thematically appropriate :v
The only other thing I'd want is a T6 Hegh'ta or Norgh/Ning'tao. Just give me a 5/1 with 5 tac console BoP that isn't in a lockbox or selling for hundreds of millions of EC on the exchange that I can buy for $25-30.

Uggh, a five tac console bop would defeat the purpose of a bop in my opinion, that being the jack of all trades, master of none that can do next to anything (the Kor is an awesome sci boat as many TSCers would hopefully attest to as I fly the Kor religiously, even in places like HSE) - A 5/5 would tilt it all the way into a generic raptor with a bc which rather defeats the design - I do agree though, I would have loved the pilot bop and it was painful seeing it put in a lockbox considering what I could do with a pilot move capable bop (alpha strike charges from 12km to 5km with immunity, yum)
Woohoo! Although... I'm not sure what's going on with the chin thing on the Klingon ship. It looks like a riff on the Vor'cha, so maybe possibly we can use parts from that ship line hopefully please?
the rom sci ship is nice, but the console and the starship trait are really crappy. who use the tachyon beam??? when most of the ennemies have 1 billion k shield
I do. Between skills and secondary deflectors, it can not only drain shields but deal damage. I use it on everything, including stuff that doesn't have shields.
I certainly hope this is not a T6 Vorcha!

Ordinarily I'd agree with you but in this case I think they opened the door to a 5/5 BoP with the D4x lockbox ship.
Plus just look at the Hegh'ta and tell me it doesn't deserve 5/1 weapons and 5 tac consoles. The ship's name literally translates into 'Everlasting death to our enemies.' That's so metal.

I was thinking the same.. i'll buy the bundle, i like the looks of them

My hope is that with the KDF Sci Vessel taking obvious inspiration from a Vor'Cha, that a T6 version of that Battle Cruiser is in the pipeline.
Low chances for it? Quite possibly. But then again, the B'Rel did make it to T6.
It...it isn't working! I want it!
*tries throwing credit card at monitor instead*
Why won't it work!
