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!
I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of synergy with the last summer ship. The Breen ships got one. I will use this Vorgon ship for my Deferi no matter what, but it is definitely not a "must have" judging by the stats and lack of unique features.

Being an engineering carrier one would suppose he would have 4 weapons aft and 4 weapons fore. It is a pity because the hull and shield stats are good. Also the pets should have been drones given that the Xyfius is a frigate. The Console and the trait are good additions and I'm going to play with the ship for a time until mastery lv5 and then return to the Xyfius or pass into the Amarie if I get enough EC
1st: "Once this starship is obtained by any character on your account, any characters on this account can claim the Vorgon Ryn’kodan Carrier [T6] from the Account Claim tab within the Event Store (in the Event Reputation window)." This makes me SO happy compared to the grinding that would be required if desired for more than 1 character.
2nd: I do not have he Vorgon Xyfius however I too am surprised it wasn't mentioned about synergy coupling between both ships' consoles & the possibility of if you owned the Xyfius allowing it to be a hangar pet as well as I've read about others with that option.
3rd: I think the Ryn'dokan looks great. It might be lacking a bit in the shielding, but it has a lot more hull with comparable ships. Of course the BOFF seating & console allocation is always subjective too.
I look forward to this event. Did I mention how appreciative I feel about not grinding this for each character LOL I was starting to feel a bit burned-out.
Do i need to win the races to get enough event rep for the ship, or is it ok to participate in the races, without winning? (because against all the 7years players i'd have no chance anyways and would skip it)
well, there is nothing technically wrong with it. in fact it probably make a mighty fine tank for a newer player. but as a older player this seems oddly meh, granted we've had alot of great ships in the last few events, so we're about do for a meh one. and I may get some use out of that trait.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

you don't do the race as all. you do the solo floater mission. flying high.
why do people keep thing event ships need you to race other players? I get the winter one since it is a race though not the pvp one but summer...

4/4 and commander engineering is a cruiser characteristic...the causative direction is not 'commander engineering, thus 4/4'. That said, the seating is nice for me since the ltcom seats of both tac and sci mean I can pretty safely give over the Lt. hybrid seat to two temporal abilities.
Devs, please update the blog to address what (if any) 2-piece set bonus this ship's unique console has when paired with the other Vorgon unique console.

Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
I have been thinking about this for a few minutes and I have some admittedly crazy ideas that may help the ship to feel better.
1: Set bonuses. Others can correct me on this, but I was thinking what about a 2 piece bonus that provides a small buff to Tetyron and Chroniton weapons, or provides more durability to Harrassor probes/ Subphasic Defense Drone.
2: Synergy: This may make the carrier overpowered, but my idea is keep the Vorgon Echentis Frigates as they are, but then make the Xyfius as a cannon based frigate allowing players to choose whether they want to use beams or cannons.
Weapon Slots
This is not a "Cruiser w/ 2 Hangar Bays" but rather a "Carrier with an Eng-Cmdr seat." Carriers are typified as having 3/3 weapons layouts, with the expectation that their two full hangars of pets will help bridge any combat effectiveness gap. There is only one other ship that shares this subcategory: The Obelisk Carrier.
There are also Dreadnought Carriers, which are specifically Tac-Cmdr ships with 4/3 layouts and two Hangars, but this ship is not a Dreadnought Carrier, but just a standard Carrier.
Set Bonus
A 2-piece bonus will be added to the Console, which provides a synergy with the Xyfius' console from last year. It has not yet been finalized, but will be added in a future patch.

I guess those of us that started playing last year after the Summer Event are screwed when it comes to the two-piece bonus... Oh well.

Only a Lt. hybrid, instead of the usual Lt. Comm?
Repeated to stop me just typing ^^ Yay for Frigates

Same as the Breen carrier, and possibly limited because, iirc, it's the first free ship to have temporal seating.
Most carriers are 6 weapon ships either 3/3 or in the case of the t'laru 4/2 the vonph and denuos are dread carriers so get an extra weapon.
actually the ship stats one does say you have to do flying high.

As for the stats? A little disappointing, but I'm sure I'll still be able to make something decent out of it.
