Dstahl (or anyone at Cryptic),
Others and I have been wondering if there's any new information on the Excelsior and the Nebula that you can share with us. With the models appearing on Tribble, we've had a juicy look at their wonderful in-game representations and leads me to believe the modeling phase is over.
A comment you made previously suggested that these ships will have a slightly unique configuration... any info on that? Inquiring minds would also love to have a confirmation as to whether these ships will have a Tier 5 version for us to fly and enjoy competitively in PVP and end-game PVE scenarios. Will these ships be released alongside Season 2, or earlier, or later? Maybe some insight as to their projected Cryptic Point cost?
For anyone interested,
here is a thread I started discussing what a Tier5 Excelsior might be like, statistics and power-wise.
Thanks in advance!

They are not acquirable, no. But you can see them at Sol Spacedock sometimes.
I believe it should be Tier 5. Theoretically it's possible with the refit; the Lakota was a powerful ship and took on the Defiant. Besides, from a gameplay point of view, a lot of people (myself included) would love to fly the ship at Tier 5 and including it as a Tier 3 only would be a bit of a disservice... especially since we have to pay for it.
I had a fly-by gander at the Excelsior in spacedock a few minutes ago. Looks awesome. Enterprise B-refit was the one I saw.
Would be silly not to have both cosmetic options as its simple to change, but I'd be very happy with the B version.
Fanboy wish fulfilled!
That's what is currently being planned. The Nebula and Excelsior with have both T3 and T5 variants.
Yup! I'm definitely looking forward to it. I just wish we had some more info now.
On topic of screen caps, if you have any cool screen shots of the Excelsior in-game, feel free to post them here for everyone to enjoy.
