    I just checked the Wiki and it looks like there is a Retro and a Mirror Retro, but no Fleet Retro.

    I direct your attention here.

    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Big thanks to @livinlifejb90#4082 for spotting this - see on Reddit:

    Possible T6 model - although difficult to tell since it's a Terran vessel.

    Eitherway, further supports a T6 Nova being more than a possibility! :D

    I'm a little hesitant about the looks of the Terran Nova.
    Haven't got a picture of the old concept art pathfinder on which it is probably based, but in the terran color scheme it does not appeal to me.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    I'm surprised it's an ISS Equinox, considering Mirror Ransom was probably an heroic, alien-friendly Captain who tried to stop Mirror Janeway's genocidal trek throughout the Delta Quadrant.

    While I was a bit surprised not to see them release a T6 version, while they were at it, respect to Cryptic nonetheless for finally delivering on the Nova, and showing they DO occassionally listen to the community. And you can T5-X is, like I did for my wee meshweaver, and still get a pretty decent ship out of it.

    And kudos to Reyan for never giving up. Just goes to show, resistance is NOT futile.

    That's the one drawback to trying to screenshot enemy units in STO - things frequently explode just from the shockwave players make on warping in.​​

    I stand corrected! Your Search Fu is strong :)

    But I'm still going to stick with my much beloved RSV

    Well, did spot a few of the new model in the Terran Battlezone - sadly didn't get a good screenshot. Closest I got was this, but sadly it exploded before could get closer:
    :D

    there seem to be players who weren't aware there is a Fleet T5 Nova.

    To be fair, with being able to play T6 right off the bat, most players don't tend to be aware there's a Fleet T5 anything.

    Everything is better when you slap the Terran Empire insignia on it.

    It's not what I expected, but I like it! Only thing I'm not crazy about is there's no outline for the Waverider, which means the Nova probably won't get a console or something that can launch it :(

    Well, I'd guess they'll hold this probable T6 version back for Black Friday, sadly.

    Disappointing - but am still enjoying the remastered Rhode Island regardless.

    I'm hedging for the end of October/beginning of November. Steamrunner T6 Ship-of-the-Line Bundle was held off until Oct. 1st, so chances are they'll do the same for Nova T6 (Ship-of-the-Line Bundle).

    I'll reckon that there'll be a new Mudd's Bundle coming up for Black Friday.

    Nitpick that I wondered if anyone else agrees with or not? The starship name label on the aft of the Nova/Rhode Island looks, IMO, that it should be flipped. To be read more easily when viewing the starship that way?
