Hey y'all - does anyone know if there are more ship variants coming to the C-store during the remaining time for the release of Common Ground? It seems kinda weird that Cryptic would state that there would be variantS of "our old favorites" when there's just the Sovereign Imperial variant on the Fed side. I have money just waiting to be spent on more ship variants!

    I have heard they are staggering the release dates for them because of time to get CBS to approve them, but I have not read anything myself about what is going on.

    I hope some of our old classics are being put in if CBS has to approve them, like the Nebula, Excelsior, Ambassador to name a few.:D

    I hope so or it was a big fat lie lol , what i dont like is the Imperial is awful , so i cant see cruisers having a good skin for awhile as next skins surely must be for the other classes.

    Oh and the bridges arent that good either , can we have more bridges please , good ones lol

    I'm kinda dissapointed that those are the forthcoming variants. "Old favorites?" C'mon, Cryptic......
    I mean, how many people have to scream EXCELSIOR and NEBULA for them to actually listen? Haven't we SEEN classes such as the Oberth and the Ambassador in trailers? Where are those????

    I apologize if I'm emphatic about this, but it just doesn't make any sense to me.......

    I'm hoping they're not just more of the same (that is, the same trend). The Imperial is interesting. But the screenshot of the Recon science viariant looks like it's not really any different than the existing variants. I'm hoping they're going to give us some nice components to work with for customizing the ships, so I'm curious to see what the rest of them look like.

    I was thinking about this recently and started a thread on what makes elegant starship desgin: http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?p=2482888

    I really hope we get some cool ship designs that aren't just bulky/protruding just for the sake of having something different.
