    Am I the only one who doesn't care what ships they add as long they keep adding ships people want? Whether it's a Borg Tactical Cube, Voth Fortress, garbage scow, or whatever. Even if it's a ship I have absolutely no interest in. More playable ships are better! Whether you like a ship or not, someone is going to and everyone should have every ship they want to play in this game. Stick your canon, blah blah purists, etc. It's a game and it's meant to be fun!

    WORST IDEA EVER!!!


    Seriously, what's next!? Playable Tactical Borg Cube? Playable Dyson Sphere? The game might not be ending, but with the release of these types of ships, one does begin to wonder.

    First of all, no one in the STO dev team is stupid enough to make a playable Dyson Sphere. that thing is a whole MAP for goodness sake. Though I hope they put in like a borg Probe as a playable ship. That isn't too much right?

    They said the federation would never have carriers and also they said that the standard cloak for defiant and galaxy-x would be the only ones to ever have a cloak so if it will make a dollar it'll get made regardless of their mental aptitude.

    Superb, but it's just a dream. The probabilities to obtain it are too low.

    sigh... this is stupid. Ships are way too big.
    Romulan one is pretty, if kinda obvious shaped.
    KDF is a stretch limo of the Bortas.
    Fed one, eh, front view reminds me of a whale shark's gaping mouth...

    Unless Cryptic is going to fix the camera issues we have now, these will probably be sitting outside ESD/Qo'nos/DS9 just for the 'envy me!!!!' more than taken into combat.

    ...

    I'll just hide in their blind spots laughing at them in chat.

    Video of what the new KDF ship leaving space dock might look like:

    That is why I won't bother with the promo. If I really want this ship I will buy it from someone in the trading channel or reddit. The price would be high. The last time I saw a T6 Constitution was going for 250 lock box keys.

    And even with that low it's still dépends on the server side to call it not on the player side which means if it was 1% drope rate if 99 guys open 1 before you, you will get a chance of being the winning 1% or you could never get it at all ;)

    I'll wager that they get a BOFF seating layout that includes Temporal and Intel hybrids.

    I'll add to that wager and bet they come with the 5/3 weapon setup and a hangar including frigate pets...

    Still waiting for a cstore Federation Dreadnought with that setup, too!

    Didn't Drexler say (in regards to the Universe-Class): "But the number one purpose of the ship is... exploration, and exploration of the universe and ourselves; the more we learn about the universe, the more we know about ourselves, and that's the mission of the ship."
    Why are we classifying it as a Dreadnought (aka battleship) in this game?
  • tygerzztygerzz Member Posts: 105 Arc User
    Heck we should all be happy, if they are flyingn tier 6 ships in the 26th century then my current fleet of tier 6 ships should be viable for another 5 years.

    No man... you gotta get in your Oberth and then take another picture!
    I don't have the Oberth and I'm saving up some money for these packs, aiming for the Valkis.
    BUT
    I'll try to see with a D4X, a Malem or a Mobius, since those are the smallest I have. I'd try with the Aeon, but not only would it be overkill, but I don't think I can send a fighter in a non-fighter-only mission.

    BTW, to give you an idea of the potential canon size compared to the rest of the ships:

    The stats just got released. I like the hull on the fed ship. 62000 hull is very nice.

    5 base turn rate. Still too high for these behemoths. :D

    Based on image Enterprise J should be 1/4 of the borg cube.
    I just grabbed the most recent version of this image and overwrote the older one. The Ent-J is present.

    I will buy some r+d boxes to support the game but I won't be trying for the ship at all.

    And what happens if you get one of those ships?

    sell it for a Billion EC

    you lobbyists are rich enough, i advise giving it to a friend or fleet mate that wants it or put it in a fleet raffle

    I'm really not a big fan of putting more and more canon faction ships into gambling boxes. In my opinion, these - just like the 23rd century price ships - should be a c-store pack.

    totally agree with this, we suffer enough money grabs from the devs as is
  • fred26291#2759 fred26291 Member Posts: 1,333 Arc User
    all you have to do is resist the money grab and show them they messed up and they have to put it in the game in a more reasonable cost. by rejecting boxes you do this.

    That's what I did with one of the many Kelvin Connies I got during the summer. Gave one to a friend who really wanted one. Put one hell of a smile on his face. :)

    Yeah the pricing and pay walls with these ships these days I pretty much am just going to play with what I already have. I do have the assembly line to grind out all this TRIBBLE but its just not worth it anymore and hasn't been for a long time. I do like how they have been doing Klingon versions but it kinda came too little too late for me to get on board with this especially after the contraband nerfing.
