The Allied Flight Deck Cruiser Bundle!

lordgyor

I know an Orion T6 FDC was coming!

Its the Orion Blackguard Flight Deck Assualt Cruiser (love the name)

Then the Romulans get the Suliban Silik Flight Deck Assault Cruiser.

The Feds get Tellarite Pralim Flight Deck Assault Cruiser.

szim

They are not my taste, none of them.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

It's "Pralim". Seriously.​​

lordgyor

I changed to Pralim, I was in a rush.

Anyways I want to know what I.F.F. stands for.

And I wonder if this is a prelude to Rom Republic getting the Suliban Race.

questerius

I got all the Orion flight deck cruisers so the new Orion Ship is tempting, but considering that i recently purchased the T6 cross faction flagship pack the kitty is empty.

Not sure what to think of the Federation and suliban designs.

firstaid

Really hoping that they are science cruisers *fingers crossed*

I don't know about the Suliban, but round things are always good!

Although, I have no idea what the green glowy things on the Pralim are supposed to be. Certainly not deflectors nor weapons.​​

Identify Friend or Foe.
Basically its a little dohicky that transmits a code to friendly craft saying "I'm Friendly". If a reciever doesn't get that code, then its generally tagged as hostile. Civilians probably broadcast a general code saying "civilian".

Dried fishies more to your taste?

Identification Friend or Foe: a system that tells whether another ship is hostile based on a transponder, mostly meant to keep you from firing on an ally. Hence the confusion effect.

Maybe I've been playing too many Gundam video games lately, but the Pralim looks like they tore the head off a Big Zam or some other Zeon mobile armour and stuck some engines on the back. Or perhaps a squashed Musai cruiser... there's just a generally Zeon look to it for some reason.

Also, I kinda want pecan praline ice cream now.

The ships look ok overall, but not really my cup of tea at the moment.

The Pralim is too green in color for my tastes. Besides the ship in question is a generic ship used by mulitple races at the time, not just Tellarite but Xindi as well. IIRC a Xindi ship that looked exactly like the Tellarite ship was ripped in half accidentally entering the transdimensional anomaly at the wrong angle.

i also remember Arkonians using this same ship class as well. I hope Cryptic reflect in the description that it's a class of ship that has commonly been sold to other governments and easy to mass produce for the Tellarites. It could explain that oversight however three different races could happen to build the same ship design and class but look slightly different in color.

I find non-primary faction ships to be 'meh' for the most part. I play STO to pew-pew from a Fed/Romulan/KDF ship. And a hanger is more of an annoyance than a help most times. Maybe the 'fixed' hanger AI won't make fighter pets make me want to pull my hair out anymore.

Lots of ships have been used by multiple races. Its not uncommon in Star Trek to reuse models. Hell... the top part of a D'Deridex was used as an alien ship!

Anyways... So we are getting another Founding Member ship with the Tellarite cruiser. Technically we now have all four Founding Members represented in game with the NX, Kumari set, D'Kyr, and now this Tellarite. Now we just need T6 Kumaris and a T6 Vulcan ship.

artan42

Meh. Still no T6 Norway.​​

I might be interested if the Suliban one has Cell Ship fighters (not frigates).

Or the Tellarites sold their trusty design to others ​​

talsinaar

so is this the Devs stating the ships are a combined designs for each faction ... I like the fed one looks more of a romulan-fed hybrid. with a little of the dominion shape minus the engines in back. but its a good start to kinda combine other races and species styles into the main factions. opens more option design that could lead to a full out full customization for ships in general. kinda like that character generation we already have but for ships.

think of the ships parts one set for each faction, then you break those down by class ships. your science, your tactical, and engineer/cruisers. then from there you can use each part type within the means of each type giving complete customization like one would with their captains.

smokebailey

Coolies.

artan42

The Tellarite one is just as bad as it was in the show. Such a dull design. Hell add a warp ring at he back and paint it brown and it's Vulcan. Add some wings and paint it blue and it's Andorian.​​

Neat idea, although I'd suspect those ships come with no customization options whatsoever. ​​

With all respect, but Starfleet ships have never been designed built and used by alien races outside the Federation, occasionally a Federation ship is stolen, but that misses half the point.

Klingon, Romulan, Dominion, Breen, Tholian and Cardassian military ships have never been designed, built or used by any other races either.

In minor cases where a freighter design is used or an occasional military ship is used as a reuse, but nothing so major as one of the founding races of the federation.

besides all i am looking for is a little clarification on the ship design so these types of arguements don't not have to be started.

Tellarites simply have the least exposition in canon to the point that they didn't even get their own ship design. But as long as STO doesn't include weird one-shot races like Arkonians or Xindi-Arboreals this is a native Tellarite design in the context of the game. For actual canon, it's ENT nonsense I don't really care for anyway ​​

Exactly what my original point was aiming for.

hahaha.

angrytarg

I mean I don't really like the ship. It's okay, it's not bad but there's nothing sticking out, but it's just what I can get that's canon Tellarite. But it's simply a reuse of other generic background ships.

alexraptorr

Nice to finally see a "canon" Orion ship in the game!

Wonder if we're getting new fighters along with the Tellarite too, only the Orions have existing subfaction fighters out of those three (Slaver fighters and Marauder assault shuttles).

lordgyor

I think Suliban and Tellarite pets are a good chance.

The Blackguard FDC is more uncertain, maybe it will get Orion Correvettes instead, or they will make up for the lack if new pets with access to the Orion Bridge they created for a Temporal Fed mission as a player mission.

Orion's also have Orion Interceptors, Orion Tacyon Drones. I all the Orion pets in elite. I wish they'd give the Shuttles a torpedo weapon.

A Dev over on Reddit confirmed that you can change the hull color to brown to match the Arkonian better. The Official blog for them seems to say that it's just a coincidence with the other powers having such similar ships.

meimeitoo

So, I guess this means we won't be getting a Galaxy interior pack then tomorrow?!

Don't care. I want a swarm of angry bees, that means at least six cell ships buzzing around. Twelve would be better still.
