Is there any way for a vanilla Fed Toon to get a Discovery style shuttlecraft?

    At the moment I think not, at least not as playable small craft, you can get those as hangar pets from certain DSC era ships but I think the small craft version is faction locked atm.

    I believe there was talk of allowing non Discovery Feds to have access to the Discovery shuttle at some point.

    The AoY starter ship is locked to TOS characters but the shuttle is available for purchase any Fed-aligned. The Disco starter is purchasable by any Fed-aligned but the shuttle is locked. The Dominion's starter ship and shuttle are both locked.

    Interesting.

    The Dominion ones make sense honestly.

    Compared to every other ship of theirs being all-faction? :confused:

    We technically already have access to the Dominion Starter ship. Its the T5 Holy Bugship from the first Winter Event that is currently in the Phoenix Box. So yes... Not having access to the Dominion Starter ship makes sense.

    Sometimes I wonder if STO forums have some secret meaning for the term "makes sense" that I'm not privy to, because every time I see someone use it, it never makes any sense to me. :pensive:
  • chipg7chipg7 Member Posts: 1,577 Arc User
    I wouldn't mind having the Disco shuttle for another shuttle admiralty helper. But overall, I wouldn't be too upset if it never came to 2410 Feds. I have all my Disco stuff on my Disco captain, 'cause it all meshes well with warp out, beam in, scanning, etc animations.

    That said, I remember hearing the same thing Rattler did about them coming to 2410 Feds anyways. I don't remember where I heard it though, sorry.

    Well, since they added Temporal spec to a bunch of ships recently. How about owning the Disco Connie unlocks an EC purchasable shuttle?

    Works for me!

    Argo shuttle would be interesting indeed. And also the Scout Ship from Insurrection.

    This game should have new shuttles in general; a 2410 version of the DS9-era Peregrine, for example.

    I would rather the shuttles be updated graphically than get Tier 6 shuttles.

    Uh... who said anything about T6 Shuttles? There are no tiers for shuttles.
    And frankly I think we could use more small craft KDF side. Maybe convert some of the hanger pets into shuttles, like the Orion Slavers.

    yeah kdf side is very short on shuttles in comparison. As for the point of the thread, I would like it for my non-discovery fed captains as well. It's the most aesthetically pleasing discovery spacecraft, and looks better than the other small craft fed side imo.

    Edit: Also, the TOS Shuttlecraft is not locked to TOS, any FED captain can get one with the TOS bundle in the c-store.

    That would be possible if they had a DSC omnibeam, something that would be good in general anyway (especially if they are the linked type of phaser or disruptor).
  • rattler2rattler2 Member Posts: 58,007 Community Moderator
    I believe they do have an appropriate visual omni, however its a standard, not linked.

    Pretty sure he means the shuttle from Star Trek Nemesis. The one with the matching dune buggy.

    One less than you're thinking at least. ;) I wouldn't name mine that.

    Since I just finished up a binge re-watch of Voyager, how about Admiral Janeway's SC-4 (uprated Type 18H) as well. Timeframe is just about right for the game too.

    aren't rommie just as short? that said no faction in game has that many shuttles, IIRC shuttle missions were deemed unpopular and thus cryptic stopped making flyble smallcraft.
  • thunderfoot#5163 thunderfoot Member Posts: 4,540 Arc User
    Genuinely of two minds about this. The Disco shuttle looks so much better than most of the other Starfleet small craft we have in game right now. But it would still be a shuttle with all the limitations currently imposed upon small craft. I'd spend the Zen for one. Then promptly park it after retrieving the Admiralty card. My DSC themed char would fly it in that bogus race mission in the Delta Quadrant. But this would be the only char I did this on. I enjoy some of the Shuttle Events we have. But I do not drop everything else and rush off to them when they occur.

    Still, the OP's request to Cryptic seems reasonable. Other players are probably much more enthused about acquiring a Disco shuttle than I currently am. I can and do fully support any idea which allows more players to enjoy playing STO longer and more often.
