Odyssey, Vesta and what?

Ok, we now have the Odyssey class Cruisers the Vesta class Science ships so when are we gonna get a comparable escort?

And for that matter, when are the Klingons going to get something comparable to the Vesta?

    With its solid maneuverability, ability to deploy warp plasma and ability to launch pets the Heavy Escort Carrier says hello.

    LOL, I was about to say, we already have three escort variants: Defiant Retrofit is pure tac, MVAE is a little more science and the HEC is a bit more engineer :D

    I think what the OP means by "comparable" is a straight-up "three-pack" ship, like the Vesta, Odyssey, and Bortas'qu(sp?).

    Assuming Cryptic does this, my bet would be on another anticipated ship, either the Merian, Steamrunner, or Norway. Of course, how awesome would it be if there was a bundle-deal with all three of those as a different skin for each variant, like they did with the Vesta, Aventine, and Rademaker? :cool:

    Yeah, referring to the 3-pack concept.

    And yes, the Vesta approach with different skins would rock. I can understand why they didn't with the Odyssey, but some variety there would have been nice.

    The Odyssey definitely needs two new skins and its powers reviewing to bring it on par with the Vesta.

    Such as letting it use Chevron Separation and Aquarius Escort consoles at the same time, perhaps?

    No, he meant the aesthetic looks, something both the Odyssey and Bortasqu' need, being the only other 'bundle' ships out there ;)

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    The Branflakes bundle is clearly OP.
    No other ship in the game has a spoon. How are we supposed to compete with that in PVP?!

    Besides, I prefer the Tacoface Bundle:

    Churro Lance
    360 degree hot tamale torpedos
    Rabid Chinchilla attack
    3 Taco Slots, 2 Burrito Slots, and 2 Chimichanga slots.
    Flan served out of all replicators.

    Not the Guacamole and Sour Cream spread Mk II! The combination with the Dual Tabasco Cannons is way to OP and is making PvE a joke too! :mad:

    How?

    1) Save your fork.

    2) Use pie.

    Can I equip the Churro Lance and the Spoon on the JamJamz class rowboat?

    have you all forgoten the vet ship so quickly? the ody, vet and vesta all share a common station setup, the commander station in their field, and the universal LTC and ENS station.

    the oddy had an expensive 3 pack

    the vesta is about to get an expensive 3 pack

    and the vet ship is the most expensive of all, but instead of 2 different variants of the same ship you get 1 ship, 1 monthly stipend, and all the other life time/gold perks. thats the 3 part for escort.

    Side story:

    In college my roommate had a Chinchilla, guinea pigs, and a rabbit. The Chinchilla was a jerk and would pee on the rabbit to get her to leave her enclosure then the chinchilla would go to the bathroom in there and eat her treats then leave.

    One night my pet rat and I went to the second floor to hang out with said roommate. He let the chinchilla out to run around. About 10 minutes later they finally came across each other.

    The chinchilla started to pee on my rat but didn't get much of a chance. As soon as it tried to my rat jumped up on top of it and bit it on top of the head.

    The chinchilla never pee'd on any other animal again. It remained afraid of my rat until we graduated college.

    True story.

    I think the OP means a newer generation ship, the Vesta is technically of this generation in sto as far as I have seen so why not give us a new Escort made for this timeline of new enemies.

    Either one of those designs would look great ingame.

    Agreed that the Odyssey could use some kitbashing options, i would even buy those extra in the C-Store (has been a few years since we got pure simple cheap SHIP SKINS, i had hoped in the beginning of the game that by this time every ship would have like 10 kitbashing options, many are still at 3, the best ones are at 5, better not think about KDF here).

    Of course adding 2 new ship skins for FREE would not be an option because there is no ROI for Cryptic.

    Oh and... do not forget the Bortas'qu!
    I like the visuals, but i wouldn't mind more kitbashin options here as well.
    In particular those nacelles and the *head* section could use something more... edgy, instead of sharp... or more round-ish...


    for the Odyssey i will only say 2 things
    #1 i hate hate hate that it is shooting it's rear beams from the end tip of the nacelles, that is so wrong for so many reasons.
    PLEASE update the weapon hardpoints to something more in line with the Ships in the Series.

    #2 slightly thicker pylons, it looks like any torpedo could just rip these off the hull

    There is a Phaser array on the end tip of the Odyssey class, if you turn off the black on the nacels you can see it it comes from there.

    If they do make new parts for the Odyssey, it should not be where one can make the ship look like a new class, it should be how the Enterprise B was to the Excelsior Class.
