The KDF and Rommie ones look awesome.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
Why so?

#Support Mirror Universe I.S.S. Prefixes
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
The T6 Temporal Light Cruiser has 3 Lt. Cmdr. boff seats. The Temporal Heavy Dreadnought has 3 Lt. Boff seats which is nothing to write home about, along with the obligatory Commander Engineer and Universal Lt. Cmdr. which will likely best be used for a Tactical bridge officer.
This ship is a flying toybox to be sure, but overpowered? Not even close. At a glance the ships people are currently using will likely outperform these behemoths with minimal effort.
For all their features, they simply lack sufficient access to the Lt. Cmdr. and Cmdr. abilities that allow ships to be truly overpowered.
Thanks, now I understand why I'm so tempted to take one... not that I'd ever get the chance.
(On another note, you might be selling that Commander seat a little short - it's Temporal Operative, after all.)
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
The problem with the Commander Engineer/Temporal seating is that you're going to end up sacrificing survivability if you load up on too many Temporal Operative abilities. It seems a lot like a "False Choice" to me. A ship that big is going to need to be able to take a lot of damage, if for no other reason than the constant warp core breaches you're going to be subjected to since you're going to want to stay within 5km of your team to get the most out of your inherent abilities.
At that size, enemy ships blowing up is going to be a bigger threat to you than when they were still alive.
The boff layout is only a deterrent to people who wanted it to unseat their scimitar as a damage platform. Myself, I learned the lesson with the Annorax of 'lance + poor turn = unused mechanic'. It's essentially a glorified carrier with a trait that means I won't bother unless I win one through sheer luck.
I'm going to have to play a different game and in the mean time, watch to see if the dynamics of sto ever change for the better.
Not sure what you're getting at here. Are you complaining because the ships are overpowered or underpowered?

Someone please make a video of a teeny weeny T6 Connie blowing one of these behemoths to hell!
No... NX-Refit or Pilot Escort.

there is only one temporal power truly worth taking, and that's recursive shearing 3, which is a commander level power - and it just so happens that pretty much every commander engineering power is worthless, so it's hardly a great loss going with RS3 than something else
also, dafuq are these R# things? i don't recall seeing them in prior blogs that had new hangar pet details
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Next up, doff pack promotional ship the Iconians Dyson Sphere in 3 flavors, Fed/KDF/From.
Given its a Hybrid Full Carrier/Partial Cruiser, it's the best Carrier in the game, by far. Yes it's a carrier with cruiser commands.
The Romulan Verison has Battle Cloak, the Klingon has cloak, how the heck do you cloak one of these with anything less then the cloak the Aldea used to cloak their planet.
They call it a mobile Starbase, the Jupiter is a mobile Starbase, the Universe Class is more like a mobile City of Toronto or New York. Seriously it has a crew bigger then a mid sized colony.
Comparing it to my Jupiter, the Jupiter is slightly more maneuverable, has Intel abilities, has better science, has better shields, Subsystem Targeting, Callistos, is better looking but the Universe has more Enigeering, more Temporal, more Command, better Hull, 4 weapon slots, Molecular Beam, innately boosts allies energy levels, a lance, the Support Vessels. That is insane.
Question. What does the R# mean in the carrier pet descriptions?
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.

I don't think so, considering that these ships are from a future that we save.
No playable...what drinks are you having today? Take just the T6 connie. A design so horrific that looks like a lego ship gone wrong to STO universe (just IMO). Yet they upgraded and now make it "T6" which otherwise looks exactly like the regular Connie. Pasted on to an R&D pack and sell it to museum collectors who are willing to spend upwards of 1.5 Billion EC for it.
Why? is it the best ship in STO or uber powerful?. Not really, it is an emotional purchase based on feelings for a sentimental ship. If you put a connie vs a T6 bug or another T6 ship it should NOT be able to beat it. Is this canon say you?
Why pick on the J and not on the other so called revamped ships they brought up from T5. Most of those were just T5...added a small design tweak and now call it T6. They should have left those in an archived box instead of re-selling them as T6.
IMO best not to question what is canon or what is not. That ship has sailed a long way back when we had Dinosaur shooting up lasers out of their heads...the motivation for selling ships in STO is MONEY not logic
So new promo ships will sport...
Horribad space barbie (granted, debatable), poor boff layout, average console layout, turn rate worse than a T5 bortaspoo. They can't tank or grab aggro, have less hull than a vengiebus and trait has better chances of getting you killed than helping you to stay alive.
The only reason anyone should buy those ships is when they have totally different artistic taste from mine and like the appearance.
