It just needs it's own custom bridge. You know, like every other 3 pack ship gets. Except this one.

My only gripe is with the lack of unique bridge and with sector space set up the way it is you never really get the full benefit of the enhanced slipstream
more rademeaker ships please

They also need aux powered turrets, beam arrays and dual beam banks.
That would be great, but somehow I am not getting my hopes up.
True. A full spectrum of aux weapons would be amazing.
Also the Type 6 material. I know it isn't a 2409 ship but I'd still like to use Type 6 on it.

They're basically the best you can get in sci except the Wells and possibly the Palisade (and neither of those can get 4 tac consoles).
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
- Now that Slipstream is automatically cancelled when we jump blocks, regardless of how much time is left on the power's function, this effectively nerfs the Vesta's two-console Chroniton Integrated Quantum Slipstream set power. I'm not sure if this is an intended change in the way Sector Space works, or a bug. It wasn't listed in any Release Notes that I remember seeing, so I'm guessing it's a bug. Can we get a Dev comment on this?
Comments/Requests:
- I would love for the Vesta to have a custom bridge. I think it's the only $50 bundle set that doesn't have one. I knew it didn't when I purchased the ships, so I'm not complaining, but it would be nice.
- Can we please get access to a variety of Auxiliary-powered weapons (like turrets and DBB)? Possibly even a selection of different, non-phaser energy types? Putting them in the Dilithium or Fleet Stores would be fine.
Again, I highly recommend the Vesta bundle to anyone interested. Even despite the above complaint/requests it's truly a worthy buy!
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
Why do you think us Klingons and Romulans have been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for our versions of them?
Not too mention the KDF and the five-forward weapon cruiser and escort.

So, yeah. Awesome ship. Flying it full aux, underpowered aft turrets be damned.
Are the vestas on sale!!
Alas I now realize it is a "Look how cool these are! You can buy them now for full price!"
Oh well
*closes wallet*
A weekly ship spotlight with a discount would be cool. This just gets my hopes up then destroys them.
1) Don't waste time creating a special bridge. The Vestas shouldn't have any special bridge. They're just regular starfleet vessels (albeit advanced ones) Cryptic decided to make a three-pack of (and that's not a reason for a special bridge).
2) Somehow offering Aux turrets would be very appealing, but it might make the Vestas a bit too dangerous.

But the Vesta has my respect for being a very capable combat vessel, while not shirking on the science-y stuff. If I could go back before I bought the Kumari line, I would probably buy the Vesta line just to try it out.
Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.
they've said before that if and when they raise level cap, they will do it in such a way that the current line of T5 ships don't become obsolete.
Where's the Vesta Bridge? Even Lockbox ships get their own unique bridge, why not the Vesta? Odyssey pack = Check. Andorian pack = Check. Vesta pack = Missing in Action. See what's wrong with this pattern?
On my other Fed characters, I have one on one of my science characters, and my Engineering character.
Looking for a dedicated Star Trek community? Visit www.ufplanets.com for details.
Aux phasers in the dil store and maybe fleet store, same prices and restrictions as the andorian stuff, and a custom bridge. Not an interior, just a one room bridge like the Kumari and Oddy get.
If I could throw in my personal taste, It'd be really cool to kind of reverse what you did with the Oddy's bridge little forward subdeck section, and put a passage like that headed aft that ends in an Observation room overlooking the ship's flight deck or hangar. Like, you can go between your regular bridge and down to fighter ops through this specialized passage.
Beautiful ships though, I'm saving up for the 3 pack currently.
Maybe in the future, instead of single faction three packs, you should do triad releases? 3 equivalent ships at once, one for each faction, with a bundle option that's cheaper and encourages alt play/investment?
wait, it almost sounds like your talking about updating the vesta, and like not the intrepid. omfg dude.
They should let GoS be first to test them out once they are ready for testing/if they are ever made. Just a thought but one of these ships like the five-forward, 5 tactical console, or both ships would be nice if they would create a special KDF FE to celebrate the life of some fallen warriors who weren't able to be around to see them become available to The Empire. Something like naming one of the ships and making an almost impossible mission to complete to light up the way to sto'vo'kor and then hit F to obliterate every enemy on the map
dood. omfg dood. It almost seems like the vesta 3 pack isn't up to par with other 3 packs and there's no consistency in the subtype considering the price and what you get for it, unlike the cstore intrepid that is at least consistent in its under performance with other c store single purchase hero ships like the c store galaxy. omfg. dood.
dood.
It isnt perfect: The Aux Cannons are great, but something about a saucer ship with nacelles on the back and elongated hull makes whipping around to keep a 90 arc to fore seem... strange. additionally I feel that getting the most out of the aux cannons sacrifices too much of the 'science' feel that you get from heavy sci boff stations.
+1.
I have a Rom sci toon and a bored credit card that would LOVE to see Romulan versions of these.
