It's Vesta time, baby - but not just for the Federation. Every faction gets three new ships!

    I was flying these around last week to get some screenshots, and guys, they are fun as hell.

    Especially the Isometric Dispersal Array. Chris, our FX artist, did a FANTASTIC job on these powers and they all feel so good to fire.

    Do they come with a Mirror hull option so I can be a genocidal maniac with them? :wink:

    Will the skins or consoles from the T5 Vestas be available on the T6? These look fantastic, can't wait to see them in action.

    Huh, I kinda figured these would be released Soon™. Even said as much in the Season 12: Reckoning announcement thread.

    I was wrong that these ships would finish off the ship set that the Anniversary ship is a part of, but at least I got the mega bundle part right.

    Nine total ships. More Admiralty ships. Some new Traits to try out. Interesting sounding consoles. Ships don't look half bad. And we get some Gorn looking sci ships at T6 as well as the Romulan ships seeming to take a visual clue from their Vulcan cousins.

    Very interesting indeed.

    The Vulcan-style engine ring is a neat touch on the Romulan versions.

    hmm I am a former vesta fanatic. However, I really need 7 weapons for the various sets I use. The Paradox has this. Does the tac vesta?? If so I'll give her a try.

    Yes, I'm down for Gorn ships, maybe one Romulan ship. Make good replacements for my Dyson Science Ships.

    But yeah, unless thry have wonky stats, Gorna have to get my Gorn on.

    those Rom ships look like Vulcan/Romulan hybrids. Reunification is going ahead then ;)

    It definitely looks like the Vulcans and Romulans are beginning to get along...

    I was not expecting a multi-faction set for these guys.

    Interesting the Republic's borrowing some Vulcan touches; though the haven't quite given up on the traditional nacelles (or avian design) Is that the Quantum Slipstream inducer for these models, or the impulse engines?

    Also, the ring's getting attention, but these are the Gorniest Klingon-built vessels I think I've seen. :D

    Mmm, so tempted to get a multi-faction pack. Probably the Tac one for the looks of the Romulan ship and to check the Heavy mine trait.

    Nice, Gorn have T6 ships.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Really nice ships - must-have for me, but i will get them only on ships sale (but i'm getting all nine)...
  • cadorette101cadorette101 Member Posts: 90 Arc User
    They all look pretty good, the 3 faction set is very tempting...

    I really like the Tac and Engineering variants of each ship. Excellent work! As mentioned, the Vulcan ring on the Romulan ship is a very, very nice touch and that Tac Vesta really looks nice. Especially those Nacelles! Excellent work and keep them coming!

    My poor wallet. :( My KDF sci flew a Varanus since that ship first came out until the Neb pack recently. My Fed sci flew the original Vesta ships until I got my hands on a Fleet Luna. I don't have any Roms who would fly their version right now but it would be free from the mega pack price, plus more Admiralty cards.

    *sigh* Shut up and take my money Cryptic.

    I doubt it. The Paradox is classified in game as a "Temporal Dreadnought" and in STO dreadnought is typically code for having something extra over similar ships.

    By the beard of Kahless, it's a triple WIN combo!!!
    • A T6 edition of the Vesta, the best looking and best preforming Starfleet science ship?
    • T6 KDF Vestas?!? GORN T6 KDF Vestas?!! Right after we had the Klingon designed Naj'sov science ship? If there was any time to roll a KDF science Captain, that would be right about now! :)
    • And that Romulan design with the rings.....looks simply awesome! :)

    Ugh......now I need to dig up 9000 Zen from somewhere...lol :dizzy::lol:

  • nebfabnebfab Member Posts: 672 Arc User
    YAY! Can they use T5 Vesta skins and consoles? And if yes, can the other factions get the original Vesta consoles somehow?

    And, those Vulcan-hybrid designs for RR warbirds are really interesting... Signs and portents of plot to come?
  • coffeemikecoffeemike Member Posts: 942 Arc User
    I'm just getting the tac versions for my Starfleet and KDF toons- I don't have a Rommie to worry about aside from my AI onboard.

    Shield bypassing mine trait and Exotic Damage resistance trait, a fair bit of rule bending in this bundle.
    What I really wonder about is how they are handling console sets, but that will have to wait for the ship stats news. While 2x 3-piece sets for the Feds, and 1x 3-piece sets each for KDF and Rom are most likely, there are 3 Gorn science ship consoles that could be bundled into a set...

    Man I wish I had the zen for these. Add me to the list of those that want to know if the t5 skins and consoles will work, especially for the slipstream, and of course the bubble is good for mirror invasion

  • risian4risian4 Member Posts: 3,711 Arc User
    phew. I had thought that they would put a very interesting trait on one of the least interesting (engineering for example) variants. Looks like that won't be the case, not for me at least.

    Not very interested in the consoles either, I don't usually have room for that. So it looks like I can just pick the one ship I find the most interesting, the science one. Very happy about that; as I only have zen for one ship.

    Looking forward to the stats.

    Never had a Vesta myself, so I'm surprised at excited I am right now.
