Summer Ship

nekofury86nekofury86 Member Posts: 181 Arc User
Another event fast approaching giving us yet another awesome FREE T6 ship. For some, they don't care, but for others, such as myself, I'm excited for it and will most certainly earn. As the time gets closer and closer, I think more and more about what the next ship will be. I always like to hear others opinions of what they hope and or think it will be, so let's hear it!

I'm pretty sure it will be a Vorgon ship, and likely wont be another small attack ship, and likely wont be a science ship considering we just got one... The Vorgon Battleship looks promising as this years free Summer Event ship.

*EDIT*
Seems the Summer Event ship will be a Vorgon Carrier, enjoy :)<3

    It could actually be a T6 Risian since we just had our first winter T6 re-release. Unfortunately since the [REDACTED] site no longer exists, almost nobody knows for sure.

    For my primary account, I don't really care what ship it is, I just want another Admiralty Card.

    For my secondary free to play only account, it would be nice if the Summer Event Ship is a cruiser for my Romulan engineer.

    From what I remember of last year's "early" posts, it should be a Vorgon Cruiser. The Vorgon Harasser console was suppose to be a part of a 2 piece set. Not sure if the Devs are going to go with that or something different. Having another Vorgon ship would keep the TNG theme going. I wouldn't mind another cruiser. Of course, like everyone else, I wouldn't mind T6 versions of the Risian ships either.

    I would not mind either the Vorgon battleship, or the Vorgon cruiser, though I will admit that I am hoping fro a science ship. Mostly that is since it has been awhile, if ever, that we have seen them give us a science ship in the summer event specifically. So a Vorgon science ship would be fun, hell even a science oriented cruiser might be interesting to see them kick out for the summer event.

    Personally I am also hoping they move off from the Breen ships for the winter event this year, and start to move into a new race even if that race were one created for just that event. With the Risian ships it worked quite well using a unique ship design from a world not known for building ships, so finding the devs giving us a winter event ship based on a rae that is quite well linked with the cold like the Andorians might go well.

    How about T6 versions of the three Andorian Cruisers with the wing cannons? those were awesome.

    If those came about, it would likely be a C-Store ship as the first ones were. Personally, I'm sick of seeing tactical oriented ships. As a strictly sci and engi captain, I have zero use for those overly vulnerable, low hull, low shield multiplier ships, and I have no desire to pump out 400k+ DPS ending queues in 2 minutes or less.... that's just me though. However, I love the style of the Vorgon Battleship, so we'll see.

    Even if they are awesome, Tier 6 Andorian Escorts won't be available as a Summer Event ship. If they are ever released, then it will be as another C-Store ship.

    Personally, I am half expecting that the Summer Event ship will be one of the runner ups from the Lukari Ship contest due to each contestant being completely unique. So they can be used for any new alien race that Cryptic comes up with.

    Team Charlie and Team Echo are the runner ups and personally I rather have Team Charlie over Team Echo. Also, July 8 is the 70th Anniversary of the Roswell Incident. Having a flying saucer for the Summer Event would certainly be the appropriate way to celebrate when Quark and Odo visited the 20th Century. The Roswell UFO (Ferengi Na'Far shuttle) is already available in the game and flying saucers has been the most standard form of UFOs.

    Echo was too much like a Son'a ship IMO. If we want Son'a tech... give us legit Son'a. Not Pho'na.

    I could see the andorian ships. Though with a cruiser I doubt they would use the wing cannons specifically on them as their console (though usable on them most likely). It would be interesting to see what might come of such a ship.

    We still have one last Breen ship to get the T6 treatment.

    True, but that definitely wont be released during the Summer Event, I would be shocked if it were. I am looking forward to it though that's for sure. I have all the others except the Dread, I missed that winter and I'm very upset about it lol.

    Why must people make threads speculating about things like this? It's never useful. It will come when it comes. NOW GET BACK TO GRINDING!

    The third from the right was a truly interesting ship design.

    Agreed. All ships that I have seen that use that ship design are rotated 90 degrees.
    Evidence for the t6 risa corvette is, in my opinion:

    A) they did a t6 breen revamp last winter
    B) they let people buy t5 risa corvettes in the phoenix box.

    The Winter Event has always been Breen ships and it is getting oversaturated. The same can be said about Jem'Hadar ships and Elachi ships. There are 5 Breen ships, 6 Elachi ships, and 7 Jem'Hadar ships. So just because they did a Tier 6 Breen Revamp doesn't mean that there will be a Tier 6 Risian Corvette or Luxury Cruiser.

    However, more Risian ships are always welcome. Especially, if the Tier 6 Luxury Cruiser comes with its own interior. There is nothing more luxurious than having an island on a starship.

    How about this... can we hold off the speculation till we get somewhat close to the event time? This thread will be dead and gone by the time we get close! :D

  • gaevsmangaevsman Member Posts: 3,190 Arc User
    They will probably start with Risian T6 after all the Vorgon ships are available, the Cruiser and the Battlecruiser are the runners for this year, so a T6 Risian could be a posibility in 2 years..

    Issue with that is the ship design,and even is in development long before that point. So if you want to get any amount of push behind a ship or style behind the upcoming event you need to start earlier. It is like making suggestions the last week or two that the ptr is up before the patch goes live. Same thing here you need to make suggestions earlier to give them time to take notice of them, and then actually get to work.

    Another good example is like I have suggested that a halloween like event featuring races engineered by the Hur'q would be quite interesting to play in sto. Yet that kind of developement takes months if not a full year to design, and then implement. You also have alot of content already in developement so getting things on the dev;s mind early allows them to find place in the dev time to actually do it if they choose to.

    I'm not even trying to make or get suggestions. I just want to hear peoples thoughts and wishes. Personally, I don't care what ship it is, it will be another admirality card, and hopefully something i'll consider using in the future. As for the other guy, we're only about a month away, a little more, but again, this isn't about pushing a ship out, or hoping the devs are listening, I just want to know what people want and what they think it'll be. Funny thing is, I've been doing this type of thread every event for the past three years across two accounts, and I always do it about 1-2 months before the event, just to hear TRIBBLE, it's not about you, get over yourself.

    I'd like to see a Risian Science Vessel to complete the set. A real sci-ship, not a carrier hybrid. A sci ship needs a turn rate sufficient to use aimed sci powers and enough shield to survive long enough to use them. It might be nice to see some speed too. I've always felt the sci ship should be able to outrun anything else in a straight run, even though escorts should be much more nimble.

    Risan Sci Ship trait should involve gravity manipulation in some way. I might suggest a Graviton Beam, possibly a deflector-enhanced ability, that, rather than shield drain or hit point damage, reduces the target's structural integrity, thus slowing healing and increasing the damage done to the target.

    What would make you have such a thought. Combat escorts should not be outrun by science ships.

    That would be my guess.

    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.

  • mustrumridcully0mustrumridcully0 Member Posts: 12,963 Arc User
    We have a Risan Corvette (Catamaran) and a Risan Cruiser (Luxury Cruiser). In my opinion, there is one nautical niche and one basic ship class still missing: Submarine and Science Vessel.

    Though I could see them releasing another Vorgon ship, or a Tier 6 update for the existing Risan ships.
    I would however still prefer a Risan Science Vessel Submarine.

    Although I reckon it's a guvenbthe winter ship will becavT6 Breen raider I'd love it to be something else. But at least then they will be all done with Breenn stuff.

    Summer wise I'd say it's clearly gonna be either the Vorgon cruiser or a T6 version of the corvette or cruise liner.
    My money is on the cruiser, using the evidence of the treasure hunt last year having plans for the thing being found.

    I'd personally like to see more ferengi for summer. Or a new risian design. The vorgon ships are weird and rehashing old T5 ships is boring as hell.

    B) they let people buy t5 risa corvettes in the phoenix box.

    Those are more suggestions than evidence (pheonix box came with a lot of ships). We should probably keep in mind that there's still 2 Vorgon ships that need releasing. In the Foundry, they are customizable and have detail appropriate for close up (ie. playable) viewing. I wouldn't be surprised if this has 2017 and 2018 Risa covered.
