the recent "no XP for kills" events/missions have put a serious dent in my normal mastery progress. Since BMR claimed that is not intentional and I am not really finding the time to do much right now, that may be resolved once I start doing stuff again.
Yeah, that's been frustrating for my Discovery captain who's trying to combine completing events with getting ship masteries.
Do event daily > notice ship mastery points are unchanged > feel a bit annoyed.
I've gotten ship mastery XP every day so far with the new event so it's definitely not "by design."
I wasn't tracking it carefully enough to be sure, but I think in the prior event I might have gotten XP but not had it show up until the next time I logged in. That happens with Fleet dil contributions sometimes too: I get fleet credits, but the dil level for a project is unchanged.
They recently made a change to 'Peril over Pahvo' to fix that and it started awarding after that. They indicated that all TFOs should be awarding and if people found ones that didn't, report them.
It would seem that they made sure Riposte did before it went out.

Now, wouldn't it be neat if you could select your T6 ship in the character creation menu, even buy one from there if you wanted to, and have it show up in all the cutscenes of the tutorial right away?
The problem with this is that, Elisa Flores' spoken dialogue specifically refers to the Miranda class ship. It would be impossible to have the actress reference EVERY current/future ship just for that one scene, otherwise the scene itself would need to be redone without dialogue. But logically, what are the chances a bunch of academy graduates are going to take their first training cruise in an Odyssey?

… actually I wonder how would it perform on Klingon War episodes with low-level enemies?
If they made all ships levelless at some point, I guess that makes life easier for the Devs in the future?
They'd have a blueprint of how to do it and just format all new ships to that.
And it'd stop all the "I want my max tier ______ ship!" threads.
Not entirely, we're getting command of a ship (explained/handwaved by "not enough people and you've proven yourself able") and a promotion, but not to the rank of captain.

I like the idea of the new scaling T6 ships, buut.. it also means that any reason to get the T1 - T5 ships... vanishes.. Why would any (xcept the few whom of different reason has theyre heart set on a lower T ship, or do so of a Theme/RP reason) - go the "regular" route... T1 -> T2.. etc.. it means setting up new ship every 10 lvls, when u can just get ure T6, from scratch, and additionaly.. also gets Mastery... something u wont get, flying ure.. say.. T1 B'Rel still at lvl 65.. imo, all ships should be lvling, which - granted - will require work from Cryptic, (and prolly mean most "refit ships" no longer make sense) but would kill all discusions and requirement for refit model's... i for one would love fly into a Adv TFO in a B'Rel - say Gravity Kills, and not instantly die, when a BS decided i were in its way.. it would also mean that perhaps cryptic could start putting more work into ship-specific interior's, as - as such - there would be way more useble ship for any player, regardless of lvl, since ure (now T1/2 etc) ship, would also be used at higher/top lvl's.. instead of having to be replaced as it no longer are enough...
Well, once all T6 ships become full scalable, the only purpose of T1÷T5 ships will be their special gear, like the quad cannons, or the consoles. Other than that - and some roleplay - there will be no need for the lower tier ships.
... oh and of course the admirality cards.

Well, let's look at some raw stats for it, based on what we know about the scaling:
Just going by what we see above, this looks like a fairly powerful ship by itself. However, as a carrier, it has the ability to launch fighters or gunboat frigates. With its console, it can launch an auxiliary craft. And, as a Vanguard ship, it comes with the Jem'hadar WIngmen. I think in short, enemies will melt.
Once all T6 are scaling, the purposes of T1 - T5 become:
...
- Free ships for players who aren't willing to buy a T6 ship
Not even this one - after all, with the 100% discount coupon, we will have easy ways to get alltoogether 4 free T6 ships this year
Well, there is the theory that maybe Star Trek Online also gets new players occasionally, that weren't around for fancy voucher options or Event ships and have to start from zero.

I don't mind doing the tutorial in the Miranda. I like it and keep it in a dry dock slot when I need room in the ship roster.
