I sense a lockbox.

But it'll definitely a fun update. Looking forward to it!

I sense a Fed-only lockbox.

But at least the ship should be available to FedRoms.

I kinda hope they also let Section 31 ships use Intel skins, and ideally also the Intel skins use Section 31 specific materials. I doubt it, but it seems to fit thematically.

Please not lockbox ship

lordbeefy7

Its bound to be lockbox...that said if theg want my money it needs to be cstore. Funny really i will spend zero on lockboxes or a few quid on the catore!

While the scale would be off it would be funny to have the Cleave ship (or whatever it was called in game again) as a KDF ship it would be a nice in-joke granted it might confuse those who wouldn't get the reference.

If they add the Cleave as a playable ship, she needs to have something for ramming. That thing is KNOWN for slicing ships in half. First time we ever see one she sliced the Europa in half. The last time we see one, she's plowing through two S31 ships.

That season 2 battle was what I meant by an inside joke, as the Cleave ships has appeared in canon only twice, First destroying the Europa (but we already have that ship) and second time is going thru the S31 fleet like a hot knife thru butter. That said I'm sure what ship(s) will be added has already been desided long before this thread, so my post was more "wouldn't it be funny if.." speculation then a true request.

That said if they do add the Cleave ship yeah it does need something to do with ramming since that's what it's famous for.

Whether lockbox or c-store if I want it I will get it without using money.

Without using your real life money at least. It may include trading stuff to other people who did use money (or traded with people who used money, or traded with people who in turn traded with people, who ...).

The scale would be fine. It's only slightly longer than the Negh'Var.

It also is ingame, it's a battleship for the DSC era Klingons alongside the Chargh. And ramming things is not a in-joke; the ship's name is the Cleave Ship. It's sole purpose is to ram things.​​

I meant the scale would be off compared to the Sector 31 ship which to me seemed smaller then the Crossfield-class while the Cleave-ship is signifigantly bigger and as for the in-joke I meant the fact that in final battle is rams the Section 31 ships. Hence why I said that it might confuse the people who don't get the joke (why a small(ish) intel ship(/carrier?) would be in the same box as huge(by DSC standards) battleship whose only purpose seems to be to run into things).

I don't think so. The Crossfield itself was much smaller than the Sarcophagus and they were boxed together. Same with the Qoj and Cardenas.

Though I wouldn't want the Cleave Ship anywhere near a box. Prime (non-future) faction ships should only ever be C-Store.​​

No Section 31 Romulan stuff? How shocking...

I didn't mean a lockbox per se but rather was referring to any pack/box that contains more then 1 ship. I would prefer a C-store ship as well.

In other news it would be nice if Cryptic was able to include the heavy torp the S31 ship used on the Enterprise as either a console or a experimental weapon.

Wouldn't be surprised if it came with one of the S31 ships. Most likely as a console rather than a weapon. But still pretty likely.

As should be expected since we're still not post-Discovery yet. Seriously, this has been explained ad nauseam by now.

And you can expect to explain it a lot more, I don't see it getting through to them any time soon.

We go through this almost every chance he can... its getting a little old to hear the same thing over and over and over despite word from the Devs themselves to the contrary.

I've been out of the loop for awhile for personal reasons, so please get me up to speed on the explanation, I'm just curious.

Basically, new Romulan and Jem'Hadar ship development was put on hold while Age/Mirror/Rise of Discovery was in development, as the ship team has been busy getting all of the Federation and Klingon ships from Discovery done. However, Spartan did mention in a livestream a few weeks ago that she has Romulan ships on her development schedule now and is actively working on them. So, yes, new Romulan ship designs are coming, but it won't be until after the Discovery release is complete.

The devs have said that they'll be working on new Rom ships after the Discovery arc is finished.

Makes sense, really - with the C-store, you get what you wanted, while with lockboxes, while you get things of value, they may not be worth the money to you. I've bought keys on the Exchange quite a few times, and have yet to get the particular items I wanted (although what I'm really doing now is trying to collect enough Lobi to get those DSC Terran uniforms).
