    It's in today's Arc news.

    I'm sure Cryptic will post an official link in the forums later today.

    3 Pilot Escorts for each faction: Andorian, Lethean, & the Dewan for the Romulans.

    No statistics yet, but offers descriptions about their consoles, traits, & their weapons.

    For all those that were awaiting for T6 Andorians, the Lethean ship design reminds me of on in EVE Online & I'll have to research those Dewans since I don't remember them but definitely different.

    If they don't come with miracle worker seats I'm out. What is up with the lack of miracle worker ships? The other specializations have been done to death, especially pilot.

    The KDF ships look really awesome, Rom ones not so much. :p

    That tac trait sounds promising, and the sci one boosting grav well should have sci captains salivating!

    Dewans are from the final underground magma area mission on New Romulus (and the earlier cave mission)

    I don't have the earlier pilot ship bundle so this is perfect for me -- Andorian ships, pilot ships, new consoles and traits. Those torpedo platforms look like fun on paper, and I usually equip at least one torp on my ships anyway.

    Here's the link: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10804774-the-allied-pilot-escort-mega-bundle!

    Recent premium single character ships have both pilot and miracle worker seats.

    The special weapon interests me if it can be fitted on other escort special weapon slots and if you can get it in a pure disruptor type that gets boosted from tac consoles. Otherwise I'm not sure I'm interested in the ships to be honest and some of them look like B-Wings from Star Wars. With no wookie boffs I don't see much of an incentive.

    non-surprise! It's a Kumari and Lethean ship! Ok, the DEWAN ship was a bit of a surprise.... but apparently the Republic has had enough time to at least find a drawing of what they used to look like.

  • jtoney3448jtoney3448 Member Posts: 642 Arc User
    Well the info is up new pilot escort pack, and it looks amazing, the traits are great, the experimental weapon is great, they gave them pilot manuvers!!! Im super happy and I think because they did such a great job adding new weapons for each ill get the whole bundle of 9 ships. Well done cryptic, this is the kind of ships we like to see. Cant wait to see the stats, unlikely they will be cmd pilot but even if they arent im still super satisfied with this.

    New Leathian and Dewan weapons to match andorian phasers.
    New experimental weapon that looks to be a good one.
    New skins.
    Pilot manuvers. *huge plus*
    Updated boff and console layouts equal to T6 fleet.
    New awesome traits.
    Some useful sounding consoles.

    Fantastic!

    Wait, Dewan? A race that's been dead for a really really long time?

    EDIT: Holy wow those Dewan ships are ugly.

    The Lethean ships have a certain charm to them. They're almost... abstract. Nothing I'd fly personally, but I understand why might love or hate them.

    The Andorian ships are pretty cool but also nothing I'd fly, if only by virtue of not having a hardline Andorian character/crew theme. I really don't feel like rolling one just for it and I've got several other gimmick ideas that I'm much better equipped for (such as a Lukari theme). Depends on what ViL brings, though...

    As a huge fan of the Andorian ships, thank you for the updated release and all the work you put in. Its been a long time since I was excited for a new ship release but you guys nailed it. Klingon B-Wing and all hehe. This is the kind of thing that I have been waiting for in STO for some time. Often the new ship has a lot of meh stuff like useless console, bad boff layout, etc etc. I understand not everything can be super awesome, would be silly to expect that.

    But what I have been waiting to see for a while is the extra mile effort put in on a ship where it really showed. And on these new ships with the info already released it shows big time. Some of these things might not seem like it, but it is super easy to just shove a 1/2 done thing in its place to be done with it, to really work on it and make something unique and good is going above.

    New Leathian and Dewan weapons to match andorian phasers. -Extra mile-
    New experimental weapon that looks to be a good one. -Extra mile-
    New skins. -Extra mile-
    Pilot manuvers. *huge plus* -Listened to the community-
    Updated boff and console layouts equal to T6 fleet.
    New awesome traits. -Extra mile-
    Some useful sounding consoles. -Extra mile-

    Fantastic! Thank you for all your time on this I hope to see more to come on the next ships. Hopefully we can get an andorian cruiser/sci/carrier with the leathian/romulan counter parts. Or perhaps Ferasian/nausican/Reman. Would be nice if we could craft Omni beam/Wide arc DHC of these types of weapons or buy them in the dilth store. Please consider that.

    Agreed. They should have designed Reman pilot ships. Would have fit much better.

    I would have rather had another round of Suliban ships if they wanted to stick with the allied alien theme, but Reman would have been very much welcome as well.

    You called it! I'm glad I bought enough Zen to cover the price of this pack, assuming it follows the pattern of previous ones, while the exchange rate was lower during the upgrade weekend. IMO, no pack is worth paying full price for so I'll hold off until the next sale as usual.

    I'm also going to have to do some major housekeeping in order to make sufficient space for these new ships.
  • nommo#5819 nommo Member Posts: 1,105 Arc User
    Statistics will matter a lot on whether these will be a good value imo as usual.

    Cryptic will probably have it, they should, where if you own the T5 Andorian ships you can use those skins as well.

    I'm guessing a Pilot seat partnered with a Miracle Worker seat.

    The details released so far are good about the 3 variations of the ships.

    The Andorians ship designs are decent I just prefer the T5 ones more & the Lethean ship designs are impressive balanced out by my head scratching for the Dewan ship designs.

    I also wonder if they'll be sold with 11 console slots already or only 10 with fleet version counter-parts I forget how the Mega Bundles deal with such & what about a gimmick 12 console slot like some of the previous new released store ships?

    More new shiny items for the STO whales to consume.

    I'll pass on this one. Then again, I usually don't buy nine packs because they are often the same class of ship. Why do I want to flood my account with nine tactical ships? Personally, I like cruisers. Even then, why would I get nine of them at once? If a nine pack had one of each class for each faction, that would have my attention. Anyhow, the Lethean and Andorian ships look cool. The Dewan ships... do not appeal to me. Oh well. As I await new releases, I will continue to hope for a T6 Ambassador and new Romulan cruisers with warp cores.

    The Dewans never build ships ... ingame lore states:

    ... "Space was calling. A million gems in the sky, each one holding secrets to explore."

    Long ago, the stories said our gods ( Iconians ) came from the stars. Now we would join them.
    When our first ships left orbit it was like being a child again. Everything was new. Anything was possible.

    We had sent unmanned probes to other planets, and even managed to find one where our scientists thought life could exist, a place we called Narendra.

    Not every mission was a success, and the greatest debate on whether to build starships was the risk involved. Eventually, however, we realized we needed to see these worlds with our own eyes, and not on a screen. We needed to step onto Narendra.

    We needed to become a part of something greater than us.
    We were planning a manned flight to the edge of our solar system when they found it.

    A science team working near the eastern volcanic zone discovered a series of lava tubes that looked like they had been worked with ancient tools. These tunnels led to a great chamber, and inside of it was the device.
    It was the doorway of the gods.

    >> All work on space flight stopped. <<

    Gotta admit I for one like the Dewan design (despite the fact that "Dewan pilot ship" makes about as much sense as Babylonian design for a stealth bomber). Lethean is great as well in its asymmetry maybe even Breenish. Andorian looks like Andorian looks, which to me is better than standard Fed tac but not especially great.

    All this with the caveat of how they will look when actually seeing them in game from different angles. WIth the Miracle Worker Ships I found that to be quite differing.

    I can't really read stats and translate them into performance, but they sure look interesting. The consoles may be worth a try, though I guess I would find them underwhelming, the GW extender sure makes the sci in me salivate, but the very same sci would also like other abilities getting nice boosts, not only the main one.

    Well, maybe one day I'll buy them. Actually I guess I will. Though these days I don't really have the time to fly new ships unfortunately.

    They released a bunch of ships with 12 console slots, the Miracle Worker big dogs.

    I'm pretty sure these Kumari ships will be able to use the T5 skins. They can use and unlock those Dilitium Store Andorian Phasers.

    Its possible that the Romulans found the prototypes the Dewans built but never used, and adapted the designs for their own use.

    We are probably going to be due for a 9-pack Scout Ship Bundle - Science Raiders sometime later this year.

    Well, Andorians ships are very nice!
    Lethean ships make me remember a bit Kilrathi ships and B-wing fighter...but overall they're not bad
    Dewan/romulan ships are very, very, very ugly. I am sorry but i really don't like them.

    Of course i am talking just about design & style.

    I really really hope they does not copie the T5 Kumari too much ....
    the stats would be terrible these days ...

    Turn rate: .............. 16
    Impulse modifier: ... 0.20
    Inertia rating: ......... 70

    ALL existing Escort ships have a "Turn Rate" range of 14 to 21
    ALL existing Escort ships have "Impulse Modifiers" between 0.15 to 0.25
    ALL existing Escort ships have a"Inertia" between 50 to 90

    the Pilot ship standard is:

    Turn rate: .............. 20
    Impulse modifier: ... 0.24
    Inertia rating: ......... 75

    i really hope for an decent upgrade


    and don´t get me started on the Bridge Officer layout ....
