tomorrow will be very interesting when the blog is released, should be very love hate id guess. cloakless raider, what does that imply? universals? fragile? and this new game play dynamic? i smell a very high risk, very high reward ship
I heard a rumor it may be;
commander Tac
LTC universal
LT universal
LT universal
Ensign universal.
Anyone else notice the wording of the Lirpa and Bat'leth, "Hands of Federation or Klingons", guessing Roms are either screwed on those period or Cryptic has finally given up on trying to insist the Roms are a faction.
I get the whole Breen/cold thing, but really you couldn't expand your horizons enough to bother making something at least somewhat non faction specific. It's Star Trek and Q for christ sakes, Q replicated a ship from a mysterious long dead Alien civilization, the ship was trapped in ice on some distant planet and the race has been so long forgotten even the continuum doesn't know about them, but they were well advanced basing from their technology.
There was that really that hard? Where is the damned creativity?
It's a destroyer... and IMO destroyers should get something special too.
And raptors.
And "support vessels".
And corvettes.
It would be really cool to see at least some differentiation between destroyers and raptors. Make one an equivalent to escorts, make the other unique somehow. Maybe make destroyers broadsiders? The nausicaan ships do have the surface area for it...
The Aquarius should be considered a raider ... flat out *and* be given a similar upgrade.
Agree with that.
Kdf have whole marauding thing which means "raid in search of plunder" when you translate it. So for that, they would need raider ships. So now when they plunder other ships they will have boost which makes sense.
Core idea of feds is diplomacy and their strategy is not having ships that are considered raiders. Why would they have those ships? Aquarius maybe have similar stats as bop but it can't be classified as raider as that would imply that it is used for attacking other ships to getting their loot. That won't happen or at least, that shouldn't happen.
It can happen only if "raider" classification is used for the design of the ship and not its use but that doesn't sound right.
It would make more sense if Mirror feds get raiders (if that classification have to go to other sides) but that is somehow stretched.
I wish the ornament this year were more seasonal and not another holo of an enemy ship that wouldn't have a place (that makes sense) in our fleet base. We did last years and for sake of compleetion I mentioned doing this years too but feedbacks been no. No because it just doesn't go with anything federation or Kdf for that matter :-(
Thanks, that's very considerate of y'all, and it is much appreciated!

To me, the model for the destroyer is the Chimera. And those things are weird.

They are green this year -- they've been a different color each year.

Well that's somewhat disappointing. I wonder how many years I'll have to wait to get a purple one?
Or if they'll even ever be offered again?
As someone else pointed out, why don't Romulans have their own weapon? I know we're not really a faction but after all the big deal about the Romulan sword on Tau Dewa ou'd figure they'd at least want something ceremonial to acknowloedge that.
Yeah, I read it. But it's not answering my question.
How is it going to work with last years? Will it be in a separate location? Will it have a separate button?
And will they open up another special projects, or will we be forced to donate 200,000 Dilithum so we can even start that project? After all, we can't cancel starbase projects.

Sounds fun. I just hope they fix the launcher so I can get back in game to play this.

I stopped when it said, "Raider minus the cloacking device"
Basically another useless escort with nothing special about it. Might as well get the Chel Grett for my alt instead
I don't know, It did say: "plus a substantial playstyle upgrade that will be coming to the Raider class as a whole at a future date." (Wonderin to myself what other ships are considered raiders.)
Anyway, I'd wait to hear the ship's details first. In comparison, the Chel Grett has held up pretty well, despite the power creep. I'm bettin the raider will be worth it too. It's gotta be awesome sauce to be enough of a draw to get us to run the race 25 times......on all our alts.
Plus, I'm bettin you can use the Chel Grett's console with the new ship too, and vise versa?
MAYBE even some neat set bonus for using both ships consoles too. (crosses fingers).

Divide by 2 = 840 for each, meaning you need 160 each to get both.
160 / 2 autographs minimum for each package = 80 packages
80 packages x 5 lobi = 400 Lobi
...is it worth it to get both?

You are missing one thing. Times the number of characters you have to put threw the paces to get said items. Your numbers seam to be set up for one character only.
Its a good mind numbing extra layer of grind to add on top of evey thing else.

I am curiuos as well.

Let us upgrade the Seleya Ceremonial Lirpa and Kri'stak Blade
An update for Raiders too, interesting.
I only stopped flying my Qin Raptor when I got a Risian Corvette; I wonder if anything is planned for those?
AFAIK BoP's are Raiders.
This year I'm really after some jackets. I'm glad they are offering more of them.

Ah, apologies - I completely forgot about that, since I turned it off the day we got it and never looked back :P
I'm betting at least the ships that are left.

Raiders only exist as a KDF class of ship though I would not be against the Aquariuos being part of the upgrade.

Im still trying to find an answer as if we will be able to get both....
Thanks, that's very considerate of y'all, and it is much appreciated!

Looking at the previous page would answer your question....

Again.... I am referring to the FLEET's Special Project from last year and this year....
I already have the Chel Grett!!!!
*Borg-9 font*
No, unfortunately. It's 2013, so you won't be able to complete the 2012 project (the ornament says "2013" on it, and last year's said "2012").
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=
btw ok if I use "Borg-9" font in the forums????****
****Question already answered!!!
I'm definately getting the one from the Orions.

So be nice if the team could clarify this.

Makes men wish we had Playable Breen as a race choice.
