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:
Very happy to see this However the Nacelle's seem a little bigger than they need to. I would hope for a tweek but I figure its just waiting to shipout...

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.
"Last Engage! Magical Girl Origami-san" is in print! Now with three times more rainbows.
Please tell me the Ambassador has it's own unique bridge!
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." -Thomas Marrone
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".

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? 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.
agreed i want to know if there will be a C-Store version, because i am going to buy it anyway if it is even a little better -> so plz tell me NOW before i run that mission 10 times.
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.
is the oddy any different than other c store ships? I dont think so if I am wrong let me know, cause at times I dismiss them all and reclaim them, for a fresh start? just saying / and asking

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.

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!
I am going to hazard a guess, and say no......

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!

That would be two ships for the price of none.

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.

Not yet, shouldn't be to much longer though (a few more hours at most I'd guess).
