Hey...anyone else excited about the new freighter coming out on friday? I always just wanted to be a freighter captain. Forget the Borg, Klingons, Romulans, Dominion, etc. I just want to trade.

    I can only imagine the 'all freighter' STF runs

    well a fair number of posts on the forum have been asking about the non military aspects of star trek, the trade and exploration part. If this provides those players with some of those elements without affecting others then why not add a freighter.

    It is interesting to see a ship made for supporting DOFF mssions instead of pure combat for once. I also like that they are continuing the trend of offering the rare ships through a DOFF bundle purchase as opposed to the lockboxes--this way it feels more like getting a toy prize in your box of cracker jacks instead of buying lottery tickets.

    Hopefully there will be different skins and we can customize the look of our freighters in the future.

    I imagine the ship will be locked out of queuing for STFs, much like shuttles. Not that it will stop some people from exploiting to get in.

    I think it is pretty neat :)

    Before I had given up on KDF I would have been peeved.

    Now, eh. Cool.

    Why? It seems to be for both factions. Freighters on both factions use similar models anyway.
    I will get it on the secondary market for my main, if the exchange price is somewhat sane...

    I think he's upset that its been a while since KDF have seen faction only ships.... not counting the ones under T5...

    While the freighter provides something for the niche group of doff only players... I don't expect the price to be out of this world

    Silly little freighter....but atleast the Ferengi don't have a monopoly now. Sorry Grand Nagus...:frown:

    Why don't they give us more useful info, like when is S6 hitting the Tribble??? June is almost over....so, come on D be different, this time, and keep to your word!

    It would be cool if they had a pvp mission where you can board freighters and either help the owner defend them from looting (fed side) or raid them and try to take the cargo (klink side) :biggrin:

    Posting this as my captain stands on the bridge of the freighter USS Phil Harris.

    1) No customization at all. Can't colorize, no material variations, no window variations.

    2) No interior customization, either. Although, it does look nice in here.

    Fit out:

    Two fore weapons, one aft, 5 devices, 3 engineering consoles, LT Universal and Ensign Universal consoles.

    just got the new freighter and not sure what to do with it. One of my guys has the D'kora, another the Galor and the third guy is a Captain Science guy. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I'd love to take it off your hands if you don't want it.

    Most of us who're enticed by the less combaty aspects of the game were expecting this functionality to be added to our own ships, not a lockbox-lottery tramp freighter :mad:

    I mean seriously, the Galaxy(and by implication, the Nebula and Odyssey) had industrial replicators aboard that could churn out an entire prefab colony, yet in STO it can't even manage to have a comprehensive food replicator menu :rolleyes:

    Can I install a system 5 disruptor in the cargo bay? :)

    I don't mind to see Q-ship PvP and STF either. Just for laughs lol.

    Can you use the freightor for shuttle missions?

    I don't know if it can be used as a shuttle for missions, but I have determined you can access it from the transporter room from your primary ship's engineering deck. Meaning you don't have to go back to a starbase to swap over to it. In that respect, it behaves like a small craft.

    It's nice to finally see some "Casual" ships. Also nice that the freighter isn't an OP vessel.


    Sad to see some nitwit trying to squeeze 500 million out of the poor little thing though.

    Hey I'll totally take credit for the 400M bug, Promise you that 500M Frators' not mine, if it was I'd sell thousands of them for 1Mil a piece and retire. Its a real good ship for a player who likes to trundle round Doffing and making things to sell. As before Next payday, perhaps?
    Wish I could think of something wise and cool, and all That!

    Just FYI. You can't do the Vault in it. It is a very, cool little ship if you DOFF, though. (Or Roleplay.)

    The ability to transwarp to all the exploration zones (except Omega Leonis linked ones) is very nice. Makes picking up DOff assignments very efficient.

    I heard that this ability was broken.

    just got the freighter other day, great ship for Doff missions, but i decided to also set it up to run explorer and patrol missions...works pretty good defeating the other npc's in those types of missions, so it "can" fight, some at least.

    Its very cool, but that will depend on what you like to be doing while in game also. Enjoy all!

    Broken, or working as intended?

    Apparently this form of transwarp drive has a chance of failure.

    So maybe somebody tried it, it failed that time, and they decided it was "broken" because they didn't read the fine print.

    I'd be interested to hear from someone who's actually used it.

    I've used the transwarp drive a lot, doesn't seem broken to me, works every time with no failures. Probably have
    been to at least 45 sectors...works ok for me.

    Edit: I'd be curious to know how other people are setting the freighter up for combat in explorer/patrol missions, please list your build ideas, think it would make an interesting discussion considering the lack of Tac and Sci consoles.
