    Well, the Tholians dragged the USS Defiant not only through time, but from an alternate reality too. Defiant went from the Prime TOS to Mirror ENT.

    1) These aren't Mirror Universe Ambassador-class starships.
    2) Cryptic has greatly overused the Time Travel and Mirror Universe to get ships, thanks to the Temporal Lockbox and the Mirror Universe Ships.
    It's a known issue with the Ambassador-class. Why else do you think Starfleet went back to the Excelsior for its workhorse heavy cruiser instead of the later Ambassador?

    And you think the Excelsior's Transwarp Problem was bad. :rolleyes:

    So if you can tweak em down just a jag. Thanks!

    It could just be the angle of the ship in that screenshot, though looking at this image they do seem chunkier from the side than I remember: http://drexfiles.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/122.jpg?w=655&h=280

    There's a separate thread for this http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=531251&page=4

    And yea, I think all of us are having the same problem.

    EDIT: Seems like the issue has been resolved and the above linked thread has been closed. Thanks for sorting it out so quickly Devs! ;)

    If you read Doug Drexler's pictorial on the Enterprise-C, it mentions that the nacelles look oversized for the ship. Comparing the STO screenshot to the Memory Alpha picture, I don't think there's an appreciable difference in proportion.

    Support starship has me thinking lots of Eng slots, no cannons. Sounds like the way I imagined the Ambassador!

    Oh the Galaxy-level QQ that will be had (even though I still think the super Eng focus of the Galaxy is just right, its the game that made Eng useless beyond a certain number of it.)

    I read an old log at Engineers Corps saying this was Working as Intended. ;)

    Would be awesome Really great if it was like the one from the episode
    Sadly I doubt it maybe they might make one and sell it in the C-store:) more likely the Lobi for 500 :rolleyes::(

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    So much for getting stats on these ships...

    Is it really so difficult for you guys to put out all the details on something at once, as opposed to dragging out blogs over three days?

    Good things come to those...aw, TRIBBLE it... GIVE ME THE STATS!!!!! ;)

    Ok klingon speakers, what does Kamarag mean?

    Considering the amount of "where are the Klingon ships" comments that have been circulating for ages, I wouldn't be surprised if it meant "starship envy". :D

    Nice thing about being a long-time table-top and online RP-er is I am flexible in the imagination.

    If I don't like the backstory they come up with I will reject their reality and substitute my own.

    In fact I have several such backstories on standby.

    We'll see, and soon! :)

    they are stretching this out a bit, they could have included this and the stats in one post but no problem. its not like i can actually do much with the information yet anyway.

    always nice to see some free ships, and i like the idea of giving the tier 3 as a permanent reward, and the tier 5 as a short time. nice idea.

    My question is if and when will we see C-store versions of the ship? :confused: Just like the Odyssey and Bortas before it, I (and likely others) will be anticipating a C-store variant (even if it's only one and not 3). That is all.

    I want to know before I unpack my T-5 versions. All of my feds that have the Ody still have it packed except one. I unpacked it with my main and regret it. Not because I unpacked it but because I have 2 Ody's in my ship roster, and if I dismiss it, it's gone forever.

    There's a difference between the free Anniversary Oddy and the Z-Store Oddy. Zen Ships can be dismissed and recalled. Kind of like the difference between Lockbox/Lobi Ships and Zen Ships.

    The T3 is for level 20 and above, just as any other T3 ship. The T5 is the one you can't open unless you're rear admiral/brigadeer general.
