[T6] Mirror Warship lacks Advanced Phaser Beam Arrays and Advanced Photon Torpedoes

khaniris

Once I unpacked my Mirror Warship I saw that it didn't come with a standard loadout of Advanced Phaser Beam Arrays and Advanced Photon torpedoes. Not even an unlock to buy them in the Dilithium Store. I feel like they either did that intentionally or accidentally forgot to add that option to unlock them in the Dilithium Store. This is my first Discovery Connie and I would have really liked to had gotten those unique weapons along with it.

I just found it kind of odd, but I would like to hear everyone elses opinion on this subject.

I didn't think it would come with those in the first place. Those were specific to the Disco Connie. I don't think it said in the blog anywhere that this would have any of the same stuff.

If she doesn't come with them... then its probably so that it doesn't devalue the Promo Box version that does. I mean think about it. From a profit standpoint, putting those on a ship that is much more accessable than the original means people would be less inclined to get the original. Why spend the dollars on Promo Boxes when there's one that's easier to get?
Why grind out the 1.3 bil ECs if there's one you can get for almost half that?

Its basically just like if you wanted a set of Spiral Waves or racial flavors of weapons like the Andorian Phasers. You want them? You need the ship they came off of originally.

Its inconvenient, but... from a business standpoint it makes sense. By NOT giving the Mirror Connie the Advanced Phasers Arrays, it still means the MW DSC Connie has value.

True, but knowing that it is a Discovery Era Connie from the prime universe, but l lost in the mirror universe. Even though the Terran Empire made a lot of heavy upgrading it they still would have likely used it's original weapons if not slightly tweaked versions of them.

It also just changes things up. The Mirror Donnie is supposed to be a Terran-ized version of the TOS Connie.

I guess there is still a plan B until I can get the 10th Anniversary Bundle. I could just use Covert Phaser Beam Arrays and Prototype Photon Torpedoes for now.

Fair enough.

You also have to remember that that Mirror Constitution started out at a later time than Discovery before they went back in time. Being from a later time they wouldn't have access to an earlier decades Advanced Phasers and whatnot.

Shouldn't it have Agony Phasers? That would make more sense to me than it having Advanced Phasers.

Nothing about the blog would lead me to assume this was supposed to be a Discovery-era Connie. The ship referred to in the blog was seen in TOS and Enterprise.

So where are you getting the idea it's a mirror Donnie?

I would assume the design being similar to the DSC Connie rather than TOS, and the fact it's based on a wireframe display of Defiant from Discovery.

Considering only Emperor Georgiou had access to all the ship data, this thing should probably be packing something like Elite Agony Phasers and the Mirror!Prime equivalent of Advanced Long-Range Torpedoes (the Into Darkness ones). xD

. . .At this point, I can't even blame the OP for just checking...but yeah this is gonna get super messy if people start to ask for every want for every ship they have JUST BECAUSE maybe something was not posted in the release blog.

I agree, wouldn't Agony Phasers be more canon than other varieties?

Then again I still think it sucks that if you gamble for a big-prize, you lose & get a consolation-prize of a Weapon Pack then its a gamble again of what type of weapon you get lol. If Weapon Packs are still that way, it has been awhile since I gambled.

Can still just sell the pack and let someone else open it.
