I can only guess the devs are closet Star Wars Fanbois with the KDF ships. If I want Star Wars ships I'll play Star Wars. Serioulsy guys you took design cues for the Fed ships from the Kumari and it looks great but decided ignore ideas for the skins based off the exisitng KDF pilot ships or Klingon Raptors. Sigh hopefully they can be skinned with the current pilot skins. Please make this happen at least.
The Rom ones are just weird enough to be cool. They remind me of the Terror Fish from the old BBC kids show Stingray.
Sooo.. Did they mention anywhere how much they're planning to gouge people for these? Now that we know their stats, and that apparently Dewans were secretly enamored of giant spacefaring pinecones, how much does Cryptic plan to overchanrge for the bundles?
Will there be Fleet Variants like we saw with other Allied Species ships? If so will the Tier 5 Andorian Ships get fleet variants too?
9 packs are Fleet level already. So were the T5 Andorian escorts.
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
My primary concern was that when I was inspecting the ship bundles to decide which ones I wanted to purchase, I was disappointed to see them grouped by faction and that there was no trait/class based bundle.
I only purchased the Improved Gravity Well/Science version and disregarded all the others.
In the future, it would be recommended to offer a trait/class bundle as well, for those players who are only looking to purchase a specific type.
I was investigating if purchasing the Dewan vessel for the Romulans would unlock the Dewan plasma weapons for a Starfleet officer.
Unfortunately, it does not.
Since I had plans to use Dewan plasma weapons on a Starfleet officer, I am disappointed that Starfleet officers can only requisition Andorian Phasers.
I'm not familiar with Dewans. Is this what they look like?
This is the only known appearance of Dewans in Star Trek Online.
As for the Dewan ship, the device on the end reminds me of a cheese grater or a colander.
Maybe the Dewans were really interested in gourmet cooking utensils?
Bees like honey, they don't like vinegar.

So the T5 andorian ship consoles fit on the T6 version but not the wing cannons? Seems pointless considering how the kumari console is meant for use with the wing cannons. Correct me if im wrong
It looks like the Andorian T5 Skins are not available to the T6 Andorians even if you own them.

Don't feel bad; quite aside from whether or not you get along with them, there are engagements which are bad matches for them (the final battle of 'Scylla & Charybdis' comes to mind).
I have to disagree. The final battle in Scylla and Charybdis is actually ridiculously easy in a pilot escort. With all the maneuvers, grav well and gateway the H'urq just can't keep up with you.

I love Star Trek, Star Wars and asymmetric ship designs, so I am really happy with the new Lethean ships. Bonus: We've never seen a Lethean ship before, and the developers invented something cool and different.
Also, name a good recent Star Wars title with space combat.
Star Trek Online Advancement: You start with lowbie gear, you end with Lobi gear.
The KDF Lethean designs are fugly, no two ways about it- if they could be turned through 90 degrees they'd at least be presentable; as it stands whenever I fly them it looks like my helmsman is wasted.
There's one (and only one) asymmetric ship in the game that actually looks half-decent, and that's the Breen Chel Grett. It's the only example of asymmetrical done right.
As for the Romulan designs, their look is strongly suggestive of the Boron ships from the X series of games, (X2 in particular), that also has traces of the SW Tribubble Bongo. Unless that twisty aft section has some hitherto-unknown purpose I'll probably pick one of the other craft to fly once I get the mastery.
My first thought was Freelancer's Titan after you've lost a few bits for the Lethean. Visually, it works just as well as that fighter did, although I doubt it will have that ship's equivalent stats...
Reminds me more of the Hammerhead, if you look at it side-on.

I tried it in a Plesh Tral. The power slide power is SOOO much fun. The swarmers line up, Lock Trajectory, spin around and BLAST them with a torp spread and CSV.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

Yes they are available. Although I prefer using Andorian 2.
