You've seen the new ships of the DS9 Lock Box, coming with #VictoryisLife. Now find out all about their stats, including the Battlecruiser's Commander Universal seat, and the Maquis Raider's place as our first Miracle Worker Raider.

And on the other the effective ability have 6 tax consoles.
The console on it is also universal, and can be used on any ship, so ought to be fun on the t6 Jem'hadar HEC or Ferasan Escort he normally uses.
Now I am curious is the Jem'Hadar Battle cruiser can equip the consoles from the JHEC & JHDC, as I have both those. No Bug Ship, but honestly with the Jem-Hadar Shields, the Ferasan Escort looks a lot like a Dominion Space Tick.
Being Able to use the Wormhole Generater as the 3rd party of the Dominion Console Set without having a Bug Ship would be a Fantastic IMHO. A great consolation(Console, get it)? for those who have never had the luck of wealth to get a Bug Ship regardless of tier, what with the Frigates behind a Paywall.
I don't think Bug-ship owners would mind too much, as they keep their precious ship and Frigates to themselves.
Come on guys why a Maquis ship? DS9 and the Defiant go together. They should have buffed or made a super uber Defiant and lost that opportunity to return STO to its roots. I mean how many versions of Jems ships are out there....Ok, I might be enticed in another Jem ship but the Maquis or even a Bajoran does not do justice to a Defiant class ship.
If it was a Destroyer it would have an Experimental Weapon Slot, so likely just and oversight.
Not necessarily. If you look at the stats for the Vanguard Warship, it's a destroyer, but has a 5/3 setup...

Oops! Just an oversight. This ship has access to two Cruiser Command Auras: Shield Frequency Modulation and Weapon System Efficiency.

Whoah. That is an uber ship, at least on paper. I predict it will be very expensive for a while...
Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

...it was released to the C-store?
So what that the Defiant isn't an uber-destroyer capable of pushing meta to points hitherto unimagined by STOreddit? If it's special to you then it's more flyable than anything released in this lock box.
Anyway, what are the prospects that we'll see the [unfortunate] Yeager class added to STO someday (ie. glue Intrepid parts to the Maquis raider and call it a day)? I hate it, but I'd love to see it in-game (added customization parts for the raider or future promo pack?)

Thanks Kael!
Dang it, that just makes this ship even more spiffy.

Oh, somehow it slipped my mind or I missed that it was 5/3.
Now we are seeing the new ships that will be available have a huge advantage over all the ships I have purchased over the years, namely the second fourth-level skill slot being available to a second Commander bridge officer station.
This is unacceptable. I have purchased many $30 variants of some of the tier 6 ships that don't even have a command station of their variation. That is to say, Command ships that are science variants with no science command officer station, or a tactical Star Cruiser flagship with an engineering command station instead of tactical.
I have purchased over $300 worth of ships, and many of them had this flaw. Now, not only do these new Jem'Hadar ships not have this flaw, but they get two command stations.
The word unbalanced comes to mind. These ships will be able to carry two top-of-the-line skills while everyone else is relegated to one.
I am not planning on purchasing any of the new ships, lock boxes or anything else because I have never cared for the style of the Dominion ships. But now I see they are making these ships so much better than the current T6 ships.
I hope they are going to make an upgrade for the ships I have purchased, that will change one of the current bridge officer stations into a Command level station, and I would hope they do this to make that new command level station match the variant of the ship. It's really stupid to pay $30 for a Science variant of a Star Cruiser flagship when it doesn't even have a Science Command level bridge officer station. The only thing that makes it a science variant is it has a few more science console slots. Otherwise, it's the same ship.
In protest, I am not purchasing anything from the new expansion unless they address this issue with an upgrade for the T6 ships I have already purchased.
For the record, making ships that are better than regular c-store ships is what they've always done. That's why they make them rare or hard to get.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
> Why does this light cruiser have intel seating >.< its almost perfect. that should of been a command boff seat
I assume to make it different from the JV Dreadnought which has the Command Seat.
At the very least using that Console and Starship Mastery Trait on my Jem'Hadar HEC would be loads of fun. Strange just noticed the HEC has more hull, while the Light Battle Cruiser has a better shield modifier.

Totally agree. The look of it is the key factor for me (wanted this ship for years) and the fact that all the layouts fit perfectly for the type of build I’ve been aiming for is just icing on the cake.
Compare it to say the JV Dreadnought which has the Hangar Bay and Vanguard Mechanics and 1 ensign power, vs The Jem'hadar Light Battlecruiser which only has 1 extra command universal power over it. I mean which a fight between them the Vanguard Feature alone will see more use and be more varsitile.
But you can create some cool combos with two command seats.
Edit: And PS. I'm not talking about a built in cloak. No, I'm talking exclusively about the cloaking device console like comes on the Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser. A built in cloak would be too overkillish (and certainly not a battle cloak either), but giving up a console slot for a simple regular cloak makes some sense.
