Summer event training manuals and a carrier

Summer 2017 might be the best event ever.

Every time I look at a tac boff on an away team I wish they could run with a graviton spike. I wonder if the price of favors has spiked yet....

    It's going to be fun to spam Hurricanes. Graphic cards, gets ready to turn up the heat! LOL

    Actually, I doubt I would use the Eng abilities. There are better abilities out there, but I might just for the fun of it. I can see people spamming the Tac and Sci abilities. Luckily, only the NPCs get end of that stick. lol Nimbus, VBZ, and the Kobali Battlezone might see some lag with all these abilities being released.

    I'd rather They just put all the Summer Event ships current and from the past into the pot and let us pick which one we want.

    I imagine they are a bit nervous about releasing a freebie that can out-zoom money making T6 escorts.

    I am actually quite looking forward to the Vorgon carrier, hoping it has the heavy escort design for frigate class pets if you have the heavy Vorgon escort. I am a bit on the fence with how the carrier design looks, but only have one pic to gauge the look by, and so till we see the next blog showing off it's stats an more pics of it saving my opinions.

    I am still wishing that during the summer an winter events they would allow us to buy part packs that could be used to customize the seasonal ships we get. That is one of the few reasons I do not use the seasonal ships more is the lack of design customization options like other vessels.

    No need for more T6 Admiralty cards?

    There's no good reason to hold back on a Vette now except that they're on the kick of those stupid Vogon ships it doesn't seem anyone wants going by how seldom they're seen in play.

    *Raises hand*

    I love the Vorgon carrier, "I must have this!" was my genuine reaction when I first saw it in Vorgon conclusions.

    You may be frustrated by not having your preferences met, but please don't stomp on the things other people enjoy because of that (this thing's also in the Foundry, it's a beauty.)

    A true 2-hangar carrier for my Rom toons ? Yes please.
    LTS and loving it.

    I'm curious about the carrier. I've gotten a lot of use out of my Saar Theln. That and the Nandi are the two that I've most consistently flown.

    The buff to hangar pets makes them a particularly attractive option now. I've been using the Vonph lately and I'd definitely like to have more access to carriers across my characters (so I can play around with the class a bit more, last time I ventured into carriers was back when our choices were Solonae/Atrox/Vo'quv).

    Or better yet, a T6 Risian Luxury Cruiser with a functional interior featuring my own personal island.

    Meh... a carrier... I suppose I'll get it for the Admiralty Card.

    I prefer a cruiser. It's been awhile since we had cruiser from an event. Granted the last event carrier was the T6 Breen Sarr Theln carrier from the 2014 Winter Event, while the T6 Kobali Samsar cruiser was from the 2015 Anniversary Event.

    Outside of getting a Gold Floater for my Ferengi, it's all pretty meh.

    I am fairly positive it can use the frigate pets if you have the escort from last year, they did the same with the Breen ships. The carrier can use plesh'bek frigates if you own both pig-1.gif​​

    A ship is a ship is an admiralty card. That's not even a question.

    The training manuals are meh. The pets I might get if I have room. Even more floater color choices...no thanks, until they enable them on other maps. Powerboards, never.

    Will have to see if the new clothes are infected with the risan clothes plague (=map-restriction).

    Will also have to see if the new event has some stupid flags to pick again or if it's actually playable.

    Same here. The Nandi is actually one of my favorite builds. Not necessarily best (though good), but favorite. And the Sarr Theln is still my Rom Sci's go to ship, even though now there are decent alternatives.

    Couldn't care less about the ship, I want the training manuals,... one of my Characters is a "Rogue" Bajoran,...

    His backstory is, him and his resistance cell found a derlict space frame and retro fitted it with whatever tech they could find to continue the fight once the Cardassians left. When the Iconians attacked, they "joined" Starfleet.

    This crew uses a JHAS (T-5U) with Vaadwaur polarons, Jem'Hadar groud weapons and a corrosive grenade. Would love to be able to fit the Boff's with those corrosive grenades too, would fit into this characters RP perfectly.

    Plus I have a Ferengi Character that needs a Powerboard, RoA and all the summery shinies since he was made right after he winter event and doesn't have any,...

    Carriers are by far the archetype with the fewest associated ship traits (and the ones we do have are all trash, or at best borderline-slottable like the Alita's) so I'm looking forward to hopefully getting a proper carrier-centric ship trait with this thing.

    In fact, given the disparity in available, not to speak of usable, carrier-centric ship traits compared to that of other ship classes, they should make every summer event carriers from now on until the game shuts down.

    no, cause I want t6 risian ships.


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

    Striped Caracals, yes please!

    I guess I'll start my next characters so they have the Summer Store Unlocked... Maybe.
    Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

    Carrier could be interesting if it has good stats...alien carriers may be the only way the RR/KDF will ever see a carrier.

    I am hoping that either the Vorgon carrier has something like the either coordinated strike except for torpedo spread an mine attack patterns, though to me that should have been part of the original coordinated strike trait. With how close many times even beam based pets fly around their targets mines could be well worth using on them. Though also giving the carrier a trait that gives a portion of certain stats on the carrier to it's hanger-pets as a boost would be nice.
  • postagepaidpostagepaid Member Posts: 2,899 Arc User
    If the frigates are tied into a previous event then it'll not be as good of a carrier as it might be.

    I'm wondering if the summer event will also provide current hangar pets with engines suitable for the job instead of the clockwork motors they have the now.
  • postinggumpostinggum Member Posts: 1,117 Arc User
    They just released cstore escorts and cruisers, its not likely they'd give away a free account wide unlock competitor. Its also worth noting that a lot of players won't have a carrier at all.
