T6 Typhoon incoming

doctorstegi

Who hasn't been waiting on a Typhoon since the game came out? Now we get the Typhoon even for free if you play the event. I m very happy about it and also like the communication which is happening right now. Things seem to be looking up for STO and I'm looking forward what's next.

Now we need the Mirror Typhoon! Then the Kelvin Typhoon! Then the Confederation Typhoon!

Honestly, this is really cool. Here's hoping they knock it out of the park on the Typhoon's trait and console.

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 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!)

As the Head of the Hegh'ta Appreciation Society, I want to offer our congratulations to Team Typhoon. The only ship, until now, to have received less love than our Bird of Prey. Cheers on reaching playable status.

Where is our mouth watering action video?

Yes, gimme the Typhoon yesterday. 😄 Hope it's a 5/3 setup.

That made me laugh and sad at the same time.

Probably will come out after the stats.

Most Battlecruisers are 5/3 if I recall.

"Some answers for some questions I've gotten:
- 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.

Also Regarding the OG model

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

I've waited 10 years for this ship since we first got t6. Now I do have to ask, what are you going to change your signature too since we'll officially have a typhoon finally XD

Not a member of the Typhoon fan club, but i am curious about the console/trait associated with the ship.

Oh dam ... I'll need to change that. I don't know!

I am not really a fan of its looks either, though if it has decent mechanics, I think I have a good home for one character motif wise.

The NPC ship is a 4/4 configuration with an odd 2array/2torp in both fore and aft arrangement which makes me curious if the T6 will have a trait and/or console that makes that odd hybrid balance more mainstream or whether they went for a different type of setup altogether. Alternating (or other pattern) beam and torp can be a fun off-meta build style for instance, if using the right combinations of them, and it works just as well in 4/4 or 5/3.

I hope they also add the old npc design but remastered, the new design doesn't look exactly close to the original which I like more.

Not really sure about it being temporal though, command would've made more sense since the original command ships were based on it.

Sorry... the ancient OG model will not be included. This is a straight up remaster. And they may have chosen Temporal to differentiate it from the Command Battlecruisers.

The new design barely resembles the original. trying to be different despite them being based on it kind of doesn't make sense though, however they have outdated boff setups anyway.

Uh... we've only really seen her from the dorsal side, so we can't really judge how different it is overall.
Also... how can you say it has "outdated boff setups" when we don't even KNOW what the BOff layout is going to be? The stats have not been released yet.

You're kinda jumping the gun here.

Looks pretty spiffy. If the specs are decent, I'm there. I tend to favor dreadnoughts (three of my event campaign ships this year are dreadnoughts), but battlecruisers are good, too.

@rattler2 damn didn't you get the memo. It's a 2 / 1 configuration LOL

Yes, it's Xmas!!! Typhoon is here! My love!
