      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      It looks VERY similar to the Husnock warship, the rear end, the triangular shape and impulse engines... If the Husnock warship was a carrier, this would be the pet.

      After the last lock box offerings, I wondered when that ship was going too make it into the game.

      That's actually because the same model was used for both ships in TNG, just with different accessories. :)

      Lol when I saw this my first thought was Han Solo's Millennium Falcon YT-1300...

      *checks the Memory Alpha entry of the ship*
      So, if I use that ship and an enemy science vessel targets my weapons, do I have a "chance" to get instantly blown up? :lol:

      Quite a pretty ship. Does the top turret move, too?

      Also, before someone complains about that: the promotion only starts this Thursday.

      why do you always only release ships I'm interested in only after I used all my dil, just a month later and I'ld have enough dil to get at least a few boxs...

      if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

      Nice ship, too bad it's not in the CStore. Account unlock or I won't waste my time. Or my money.

      Heck, make a "token" for lockbox ships similar to the Ship Upgrade Tokens that made T5's into T5-U's. Use said token on a lockbox ship and it opens that ship up for the account. Make the thing cost $15 or $20 bucks. An extra income source for ya and I have a feeling you'd get a lot of folks buying them too.

      I WANT THIS FOR MY FERENGI PRIVATEER!!!
      Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

      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!

      Hmm,interesting. I really wanna see that heavy weapon in action. However I have a problem with "new custom bridge." That looks a LOT like the bridge on Sela's freighter.

      I'm disappointed it isn't a duty officer pack promotion, it'd be nice to see the price of scramble fighters go down.

      It does look that way, doesn't it. I personally love Tetryon even though it's one of the worst energy types to use, if not THE worst. From a proc standpoint anyway. I like the look and the sound of them and that's what I care about most.

      Good looking ship even if it appears utilitarian a bit. The strength of the ship is it's BOFF arrangement, consoles, added freighter perks are a bonus, & Traits. They're all complimentary of each other nicely. It could be a very formidable ship.

      The bridge reminded me of Sela's freighter bridge as well.

      Hmmm, I do wonder too what type of weaponry it comes stocked with???

      I doubt I gamble for a chance at it, once you been beat-up by the supposed RNG gods it's tough to forget, but good luck to those that do!

      I was very interested in this ship when I first saw it during Unification, and I'll definitely try to get my hands on this ... I just hope one of the optional skins for this ship gives it a darker, polished metal look similar to how it appears in the actual TNG episode.

      That polished black metal look of the ship in the episode made it look like a lethal sea monster rising from the depths of outer space and determined to complete its nefarious mission even if it had to destroy the Enterprise to do it.
      In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."

      Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.

      As I recall, the ship from Unification was using phasers.

      That, my friend, goes to Voth Antiproton.

      I am looking forward to this ship, hopefully I can get my hands on 2 of them, one to keep and one to trade for a JHRS/JHSS.

      Exactly! Or Lobi store. Hope they make the heavy weapon a Lobi item! Would make a fine replacement of the current pop gun. Wish all heavy's were lobi...
    • ssbn655ssbn655 Member Posts: 1,894 Arc User
      Reminds me of some of the 1920's Sci-fi ships with fish fins and all so kind of cool. Don't know if I will get one via excahnge or the gamble but I do hope the heavy weapon gets put in the Lobi store.
