Federation Assault Cruiser - Imperial Class (240 Cryptic Points)
A variant of the Sovereign Class, purchase of this option unlocks the Imperial Class ship parts for your Rear Admiral rank Federation Assault Cruisers. Note: Purchase of this option unlocks these parts for all Rear Admiral rank Federation Assault Cruisers on an account.
This is good, okay.
But far better would be to add the "Akira Skin" or the "Defiant Skin" for the T5 Escort Ship. The "Constitution Skin" the "Galaxy Skin" for the T5 Cruiser Ship ....etc.
I will see a Akira in Group with a Intrepid, a Galaxy, a Nova and a Excalibur fighting the Borg in Gamma Orionis Sector. So many beautiful ships to use the end can not because they are too weak.
And Klingon I love the B'rel and i will use the ship on Lt. i wil use the ship on Lt.Cmd. ....i will use the Ship on Rear Admiral.
Please make some packages, the more variety in the upper areas comes in with the existing ships.

It is actually a new 3-D model, not just a paint job / texture for the outside of an existing model. Of course the stats remain the same as the rest of the Assault cruiser.

To the OP, there are more coming, hopefully we'll see some canon classics as well as the 'new' designs.
The heavy escort gains heaver shielding capabilities when the captain gains T3 access, when that captain gains T4 the hull is reinforced, and at T5 it gains the "carrier" attribute.
The tactical escort gains better shielding and maneuverability at T4. At T5 it gains a little more maneuverability and an increase in inherent speed attribution.
In other words, the chassis kind of grows with the captain.
actually I was disapointed that theres little to no reason to use or keep any of your ships from lower tier. Which is disapointing.
It's not just a skin. It's a new model. Google is your friend.
Very dissapointed , seems like the server has taken 10 giant leaps backwards not forwards.
That's my lack of time to play catching up to me. *sigh*
