To Cryptic- Ship Listing

So, I've noticed that you've added the Vigilant and the Excalibur to the ship listing page this week. I know you've been asked this a couple dozen times and at least 3 times by me, but any word on when the full page will be completed? I'd love to know the backstory behind some of these ships.

    I'd be happy to to see a listing of the ships, like you get in Ship Requisitions, with a simple screenshot. As it is, I have to level up in order to even see them. Not keen on that.

    It would indeed be nice to have the complete history of all the starships.

    If I'm not mistaken these two were added today. I don't recall seeing them there yesterday. Hopefully this means they are adding them right now.

    OP - so two new ships avery two weeks? ;)

    I've taken a gander at Suricata's listing over in the Academy area, and hit the Wiki Memory Alpha to view the ships. I'll let the web programmer work his magic as he can untiil they're all filled. :)

    I found it odd that they launched the game without full info on the site myself. But at least they weren't farting around. They were working on more important things in-game.

    The Discovery has the description for the Intrepid as well, if I'm not mistaken.

    Wonder when they are going to post the info between the 6 different T5 classes now. Can't wait to hear about the new ships, and what their best at.

    It is absolutely astonishing that the developers have still chosen not to update the ship listing after months of game development. In fact, I find it absolutely disgraceful that I can find more ship information posted on the internet by the fans (ex: http://startrekonlinestuff.com/category/ships-federation/) than on the official site.
    Whomever has responsibility and/or ties to the ship listing on the main site should be ashamed of themselves, as should the company as a whole as it reflects upon their diligence and attentiveness to the wants and needs of their consumer base.

    For shame webmaster, for shame community relations team; especially for shame Cryptic leadership. As captains of your company, it is ultimately your responsibility if your employees are leaving things un-done.

    No it isn't.

    However, Mr. Eric Hamby has created a website with views of quite a few of the ships. The science and cruiser classes are missing from Tiers 4 & 5, but that's fine; it's all done using free time and whichever ships he's acquired.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the website's ship listing updated. It's clearly incomplete, not just in terms of the individual ship pages, but the listings don't show both sets of T5 ships, and several of the tier groups aren't even named the same as they are in-game.

    Cryptic –*lol.... guys.... I know it's probably not a big deal to ya'll considering all the other great stuff you're working on for us BUT to the average person perusing the main site for the first time I would think the ship listing page only having a hand full of ships accessible looks a little bad. It would leave me asking "what else have they left out".

    Just my opinion but this really needs to be wrapped up.

    Could we at least get a dev response letting us know when we can expect it to be finished. It's not like we want it all at once. I'd be happy with a new ship a day. Would it be that hard to get a few members of the team to make a video, take a few screenshots, write up the info, and post it on the site?
