    I had no desire to actually buy these ships, but the KDF and Fed ships look gorgeous. The Naj'Sov is a thing of beauty.

    The Romulan one looks nice. The Federation is... another Nebula. What the hell is that thing they are calling Klingon...

    It's ugly enough to be Klingon. :p

    The Romulan ship was a shocker for me. I was just like, "whoa, that looks pretty sleek"

    In a rare turn of events.. I really like all 3 ships. Usually, there is at least one that I don't like.. but I actually dig all 3 of these designs. That Romulan one is particularly sweet.

    As for the videos, great work as always.. thank you for posting them. :)

    Well I think the devs as normal are out of touch with the KDF. From what I have seen most KDF players would perfer a tactical/engineering/science variant of the Vor'cha. Instead we get a KDF ship with Nebula class fed design on its rear. Oh well just my thoughts.

    I was just wondering earlier this week when the T6 Nebula was going to happen. :)

    Well hot damn, all three are pretty. Even that Nebula looks pretty nice in an unconventionally attractive kind of way.

    I've already finished re-theme-ing my Delta Gorn. Can't wait to see the stats and figure out how I'm gonna run the Naj'sov, but it's a buy almost entirely regardless. Leaning towards the Laeosa, too, though not 100% sure what I'd do with it. I have a Rom Sci toon waiting on his own real ship but if the stats don't have some tac bite it'll be a harder sell. Though I may pony up anyway just to support Rom Science development. And, of course, if I decide to get those two, I may as well go all in on the three-pack. My Delta Andorian could use her own Sci vessel, or on the off chance the stats have that tac bite I keep talking about, my Lib. Borg may slip into it herself...

    Thanks for putting these together - they look good. The Andromeda look works really well on the Nebula frame, for some reason ,and I like the Laeosa even more now that I've seen the back end.

    The Naj'sov mission pod makes more sense from this angle, seeing how the deflectors seem to integrate.

    Hope we get an art blog on these, those are fun. I do love the way all the T6 ships in a faction seem to come from the same era in design while being distinct.


    Great work as always!

    Very nice ships. If these new science ships are at par or even outperform the Flambard that would be great. Would love to have a Klingon and Fed science ship that is as good as the Flambard :)

    Cryptic has really been smashing the ball out of the park in the fan service department this year, granting tons of long-wished for pipe dreams. TOS-era ships, gear, and missions, KT timeline ships and gear, T6 Connies in multiple flavors, T6 Sovereign, and now not only a T6 Nebula, but T6 faction-specific science ships for Romulans and Klingons. STO geeks have a lot to be thankful for this year while putting themselves in a tryptophan-laced food coma.

    I'm actually shocked the KDF and RRF are FINALLY getting proper tier 6 science shps. Bout time. But why a NEBULA?! Damn it want a NOVA!

    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.

    If "These ships are not yet available on Holodeck or Tribble"... just how did you get them for the videos?

    Special access. His videos have been so good that he gets the occasional chance to get to access to these ships to produce videos. As I understand, there is also a small set of players that get to test new ships on Tribble before they are released officially. Similar to how we have a bug hunting team.

    At least that's what I understood from past comments. I am not involved in any of this.

    I'd support that as long as it changed size every time you looked at it. And I mean you, specifically. The rest of us would see it at its official size every time :).

    So was anyone else kinda hoping these were going to release today? Haha~

    aft on romulan ship is weird. other than that it looks ok.
  • eldarion79eldarion79 Member Posts: 1,679 Arc User
    It is good stuff like this really pushes these ships from they look good to I wouldn't mind owning one. Now, if we can get an accompanying Jayne's Navy Interstellar along with it. As someone who loves ships, not just the look of them ,but their back story, notable vessels in the class, and so on. With the Pathfinder version of Jayne's made my next Tier 6 going to be a Pathfinder.

    I've never really been fond of the Nebula class, but even I have to admit that the Sutherland class is kinda impressive.
