    Getting a flyable Typhoon is great, and the redesign looks fantastic. I'm confused by the inclusion of that pulse phaser pack, though. They were kinda forgettable weapons ingame and their sound effect is terrible/not movie accurate.

    Needs to be the next STO Enterprise, also we need mirror skins for her.

From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      Damn - we've been wanting to fly the Typhoon since 2009, so I'm really excited for this.
      I don't care about the stats, trait or console - I just want to fly it!
      There's been a clear and bee-eee-aay-yootiful remaster there, but I still want to have the old version as seen in thay8472's signature.
      (I think my luck there would be the same kind of luck a bald man has when winning a hairdryer!)
      Participating in this event grants daily progress towards a Grand Prize – the Typhoon Temporal Battlecruiser, and a Pulse Phaser Weapon [P]ack!
      A pack? Surely not just one? Maybe a stack of 4 or 8 packs like we've had in previous Events?

      Holy WOW the Typhoon is a blast from the past!
      I remember back in 2014 we had a thread pathetically begging for it and the Jupiter to be playable.
      To see it back (even though it's very different) completely Yurjkins my Flurpins!

      6. I believe the blog says you'll get a total of 6 weapons. So enough for a full loadout, unless you're wanting a full 8 beam build or something.

      FYI

      https://VxTWITTER.com/thomasthecat/status/1833943522061533540

      - No, the old parts won't be available to players.
      - No, this ship is its own thing and won't customize with the command cruisers.

      Reason

      "Because the old model isn't up to our current standard of quality, detail, and faithfulness to the Trek IP."

      Never thought i would see this day of the Typhoon being playable

      Not only are they finally giving us the Typhoon, they actually made it look not terrible. I may well go for this thing.

    • captainkoltarcaptainkoltar Member Posts: 938 Arc User
      Is there an error in the blog post around how many tokens we need to obtain the ship? It says we need 20 tokens, and you get 2 tokens for doing the TFO or 1 for a patrol. This would mean you only need to do the stuff for 10 days, which is fewer than normal.

      Obviously I'm not disappointed at this, but it is unusual.

      Also, the ship looks ace!

      I'm sure we will get all the deets in a follow up blog, maybe when we get the ship stats blog

      It is probably the usual poorly edited copypaste job since other than that odd bit it appears to be the standard 20 days at two points a day event setup.

      I like what they did with the ship design overall, though the purple glows that thay8472 mentions would have been better than the boring default pale blue and teal the single picture of the playable ship has. The purple would even make sense and add depth to the lore if the playable Typhoons were improved ones built in the Dyson automated factories using some of the Dyson technologies (hence the purple glows) like the science destroyers do.

      If they continue this trend next fall, a ship I would really like would be the Excalibur class cruiser that afaik is only seen for a few seconds in a cutscene in the second Dyson sphere, the ship class that was nicknamed "the sitting dog". It is an odd design for Starfleet ships, more vertical than usual, and is a nice change of pace look while still retaining all the expected Fed features.

      Excellent news, another of the original wish list ticked off after playable Cardassians and skants.

      My only concern is This pack is account bound, and not reclaimable. It will be granted to the character who claims the Grand Prize. Why would you not make it reclaimable on other characters? This doesn't sound very nice to us Alt-aholics.

      It's an existing Lock Box item (Undiscovered Country, Infinity).

      It is probably because the weapons are from a lockbox, they normally do this when they give weapons and the like away, at least 3 times they have given lockbox/Lobi store stuff away and they have always been non reclaimable, plus also you will probably claim the weapons at the same time as the dlithium.

      The confusion about the number of packs is annoying, someone said it says 6 but that refers to the number of weapon variants and not the number of packs, plus previously they gave some ultimate upgrade things with the packs, but not this time if the post is accurate.

      I am hoping it is like some of the other times they have done something like this, and that the ship is an account unlock and only the box is a one-off.

      same, one pack here = one weapon, which to me is a bit odd/underwhelming. dont get me wrong the ship is GREAT looking....but one weapon is kinda ho hum lol

      The Deflector is a bit meh for me, but I admit I never liked Deflectors that had something coming down into them like that.

      But the overall design I like.
