    Voyager 6 probe, not Voyager 10

    Seems like it's missing something. A lockbox or promo ship.

    Nope, it has the Theseus as the promo ship

    12 PM Pacific Time sure is a late maintenance start. Is this the start of a new maintenance period, or was something delaying the update/maintenance?

    It's not the ship to draw in a crowd though like the mirror engle did or the Mirror Warship could have done if that had been added instead.
    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.

    ..but the Theseus dates from the era the bundle is focused on. The Engle and Mirror Warship are just a bit too early.

    This is a colossal screwup.
    Not the bundle itself: the ships are fine, as are the traits, but the Ark Royal should've been a dread-carrier.
    No, the screwup is the handling of this bundle.
    Zero information for WEEKS.
    No hints outside of the Ark Royal for MONTHS.
    This is not how you launch a bundle. The best way is to go and hype it, to make people excited.
    If anyone from DECA actually reads this, which I DOUBT, make us AWARE ahead of time. Make us excited.
    Be better.

    The whole reason they chose not to release the data because if they had released the data before now, no one would even bother to think about picking it up. Not that it's really going to change much. The whales will still buy everything STO, but the rest of us are going to look at this bundle and shrug, maybe buy the arc royal, and never look back. Had they released this data prior to this, not even the whales would buy it.

    I would have preferred a TMP Atlas but I love the Mirror Warship as well.

    We can discuss it back and forth, but we know two things and that is that due to time constraints the composition will not be altered and that the Theseus will attract less than either an Atlas or Mirror Warship would.

    Overall i am a little sad because i hope that each bundle is an astounding success to support the developers.
    With this bundle it feels like the team has dropped the ball.

    Personally I am really happy with this bundle. I am super excited for all the new ships as in many ways they fill some of the voids that were missing in some builds, like beam fire at will builds, and they are all absolutely gorgeous. I am excited for the Theseus too and think it totally makes sense with this bundle allowing for a variety of ships. The mirror warship is too like the Shangri-la and the bundle really needed a destroyer type to fill it out and there aren't really a lot of options in the lockboxes for that. I am thrilled with it personally but I know that is just my opinion.

    I have mixed feelings about the Ark Royal it’s an interesting design but shouldn’t be on the Ark. The Royal was famous as a heavy carrier based on pet damage. To make it poor to average at pet damage and turning it into a full Sci Carrier with pets feels like the devs have done the Ark Royal dirty over what it should have been.

    Don’t get me wrong it’s a good design and layout. I wouldn’t have problem if it was on a different ship. Its just turning a heavy pet carrier into Sci and making it weak at pets isn’t what I wanted to see. Its going to be an amazing Sci ship but it should have been focused on pet damage.

    The stats in the post are different from the stats on the actual ships.

    One question not mentioned here so far: Does this mean we are finally going to get a TMP era bridge? Minor detail as there is little reason beyond a few duty officer missions to ever go there, but it been missing for awhile folks.

    A TMP Bridge and interior would be a really nice addition in the future.

    I like the theme of hte bundle. The Thesus is a very forgettable ship in my personal opinion because of its stats. It doesn't make sense that it is a premium ship. A Z-Store Connie is always a win. Remastered TWoK uniforms with more ranks and details is something I hope is on the radar of the dev team with the current TOS movie theme. 10 extra keys instead of the 100 Lobi would have added a little more value to the extras.

    The Mirror Warship is my favorite ship that I have and I only have one thanks to an event campaign. If it ever ends up in a Z-Store bundle and if that bundle also offers a TMP and TOS skin. It would be very difficult to not want to buy.

    I recall reading somewhere (about 15 years ago :wink:) that the "Standard", "Sleek", "Utility", and "Future" bridges were based on what was seen of the U.S.S. Reliant bridge we saw in 'The Wrath of Khan'.
    Whilst they definitely harken back to those TMP-era bridges, they are still 2409-onwards due to the displays all using 'stock' 25th-Century LCARS readouts.
    So, they come close to being TMP-era, but not quite close enough.

    The removed mission "Ghost Ship" could perhaps be the way to bring a bridge from the TMP-era into the game.
    Re-vamp the U.S.S. Warwick interior to match movie-era visuals; drop the mission into any of the story-arcs (it works anywhere, as a brief pause in storylines); and then put the TMP-era bridge in the Z-Store similar to the Galaxy and Voyager interiors, but make it available separately too, please!

    I wont lie i love all the new TMP era love that comes with this pack the ships are lovely and good to see the ponieer getting a refit, Not gonna lie a bit disapointed not to get the Federation Class, considering we see a model of the TOS version in Picard was hopeing to finaly get one to command in STO as this is its second cannon apearence after being on displayes in the motion picture, I get theres a vetting procress for these ships but with some meny ships people want to see get added its strange when we get ships that are all new, not that i dont like that i love seeing new ships of the era in the TMP Style but with a bundle being called the celebration of starships from the era of classic Star Trek films, you'd think that would be the perfect opertunity to add in the Ships that show up on the enterprise's display screens the only other ships, besides the K't'inga-class and Veger.

    The reason we're not getting ships like the Federation class and the Saladin class are because they are Franz Joseph designs. Not technically owned by the IP holder. The process of getting them into STO would be extremely complicated, just like it was to get the Vesta in game, because of not only having to negotiate with the IP Holder, but whoever has the rights to Franz Joseph's designs, which I think is in part held by FASA. So... hate to say it but unless things change, all those TOS style ships from Starfleet Battles? Not gonna see them in game.

    I would see about buffing the Kerala console uptime from the current 5 seconds to 10-12 at least. At it's current 5 seconds, its basically useless.

    Unfortunately, the free T6 ship tokens from the event campaign don't work with the ships in the bundle (though they did right away with the Dyson science destroyers) so my finding out how well the secondary deflector works out on the Ark Royal will have to wait for up to a year since in the coming economy I doubt I will have the spare cash to buy one that way.

    Sadly, the Franz Josef Designs ships fell prey to Roddenberry's infamous grudge-forming whenever someone put their foot down when he tried to muscle is way into any Trek that he was not already directly involved with, so yes, the chances of getting any FJD ships are practically nil though Paramount and various games have made similar ones. It is a shame since the designs were very good and even realistic from a practical engineering point of view.

    For instance, to give the Federation saucer more internal room it used two of the Constitution ventral saucer sections (which had more internal volume than the dorsal side) put together (with some kind of custom rim or it would have been too small in diameter for the top) like some of the DS9 kitbash fleet did later on with other saucers. That is a logical reuse of parts compared to just shrinking or expanding the Constitution saucer the way the shows tended to do with whole ships later on.

    It might be you had one of the other T6 tokens to get the dyson ship/s as some are not restricted, I think its the giveaway ones that are not restricted i.e the ones they give away now and again via the zen store tab.
  • pottsey5gpottsey5g Member Posts: 4,326 Arc User
    The more I use the Ark Royal the more I get disappointed with it. Its just not a very good carrier with a poor layout for carrier pet builds which is what it should have been deigned around, given how famous it was as a heavy carrier based around pets.

    One solution might be to add a new style of SecDef that buffs pets but even doesn't make up for the poor ship layout for Carrier pets. A Science ship is the last thing the Ark Royal should have been.

    That's correct, I have both and the T6 Ship Coupon - 100% Off is valid but the 100% Discount Coupon: Tier 6 Ship does not.
