wow, both 1000 day ships are real dogs, not bothered about them at all, being unable to sub for various reasons I was worried I might be missing out but im not
Looking for a great fleet, then try the UFP/House of Kular, visit ufplanets.comfor more infoA forum post should be like a woman's skirt, long enough to cover the subject matter but short enough to keep things interesting.
Will be interesting to see the stats of the ship, maybe will have a interesting boff layout. I would hope this thing has 10 consoles, because lets face it this ship isn't exactly easy to obtain.
Before people go on and say I'm biased...I'm not :P. I'm only around the 300 day level of vet rewards.
Can't have a honest conversation because of a white knight with power
okay, so a cruiser with a thin skin and poor sheild multiplier. It looks like an overweight Raptor, and I kind of expect it's going to handle like one.
All the other destroyers act like Escorts, why would this one be different? Destroyers tend to have a turn rate off around 15, I see no reason why this one would be much different.
I would take your negative views out of this thread since you have NO clue what its going to do, because we dont want them here. This is a discussion about it, not a bashing before it comes out, which from how your acting i can tell its already a TRIBBLE in your mind.
Not all turn rates with the same multiplier work the same way-observe the Raptor pivot, and they're allegedly "escorts". A cruiser with a fast turn? still turns like a cruiser.
Ergo, "Another thin-skinned cruiser with two device slots". Given the layout in the art as linked, I suspect it's going to be basically a slower turning Raptor, something in between a Vor'cha and a Qin.
Since when do Destroyer class ships turn like cruisers? Why are you calling Destroyer class ships thin skinned crusiers? I am not aware of any Destroyer's that turn like crusiers.
Actually its a submission from the next enterprise contest, it was like 2nd or 3rd place, so was before the bortas was even shown, so technically the bortas ripped from it

Um... what? Fairly sure voporak was talking about the KDF ship, which I doubt placed in the Enterprise design contest...

Oh, and PLEASE give us a different head on that thing!
Not a fan of rounded pre-k toy looking KDF bridgesections. A pointy, bearded, Briok raptor look might be nice... or a mean looking Haj head?
This one is a bit too old-school B'rel or QulDun derived, and clearly the Empire had designed pointier, meaner, more dangerous looking heads since then.

As a request, can one of the vets who gets this thing put up a vid on youtube or something to show it off? I'd love to see what this thing could do. Thanks.
A friend remarked it looks like an F5 from Star Fleet Battles (not to be confused with Starfleet Command) but I thought it reminded me of something else.
Took me ling enough but it looks like the NoQ'Duj scouts from Star Trek Armada:
One of the hosts of Priority one mentioned that the 1000 Day KDF vessel was pure win and hinted that it had and incredible console setup.
The ship is mentioned in this week?s Priority one episode 99.
Has a Lifer since the 2nd week of open beta I?ll have access to both vessels soon enough (If not already), maybe they?ll both be cool enough to make me want to play STO again.

Based on some of their previous comments on ship layouts and design I wouldn't put much stock in them calling it "pure win". They make a fun podcast to listen to and are true, dedicated fans... but their comments on ships sometimes.... lets say no one can be good at everything.
5% Less hull, 10% less shields, MUCH more crew (almost 4x), 1 more device, 1 less console (???), BATTLE cloak (!!!), 2/3 lower Weapons Power bonus, higher Impulse modifier, slightly lower turn (but then again, pivot point), awesome console...
I just wish it had a slightly different head on it. And one more console slot.

rememeber, regenerative mode is innate to the ship. meaning remove the console to turn into Tac mode and you still get the regenerative mode bonuses. so that makes up a little bit for the missing console. if someone never plans on running in tac mode they can remove the console and free up a slot.
and i dont think this ship should be Better than Fleet ships. its a free ship you can get to use while grinding up to a fleet ship. however, should they add a fleet version of this ship to the game, i think those who are vets that own the ship should get it for free. or at the reduced C-store price of 1 FSM.
I've been waiting for a Cruiser-Escort hybrid since i started playing STO in feb 2010. Since then i always felt that Cryptic made Cruisers way too passive and escorts - well i just hate escorts.
I always wanted to get a ship which is in between those two extemes.
In addition, i find it looks really nice and pleasing, which happens only rarely with cryptics designs.
And now this ship is only availlable to someone who has subscribted for 1000 days or is willing to pay 200$ for it?
Sorry but i am really annoyed. :mad:

Difference.
Destroyer... not Cruiser...

bout time KDF get an OP ship I wonder if Levi3 has suggested the same stats for the Fedside version.
The ship is mentioned in this week?s Priority one episode 99.
