Any 2 hangar carriers coming out?

atalossataloss Member Posts: 563 Arc User
Does anyone have some clues about a 2 hangar carrier ((hopefully a 4 fore/ 3 aft weapon loadout, like my beloved JHDC))? I haven't heard anything and I find it really odd that the Obelisk had so much hype around it, but not another 2 hangar carrier.

Anyway, I'm on the fence about the Voth Bastion Flight-Deck Cruiser. I like how it has a 4/4 weapon loadout and a hangar slot, but I swore off ever getting another lockbox ship after what I went through with my JHDC.

    There's fleet carriers with come with t2m4 spire, but that's all I know.

    I haven't seen their stats yet

    I'm talking about the fleet atrox and the like
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    I heard about the fleet Atrox a while ago. I've also been hearing some talk about a Voth City ship. I don't know if that'll be a 2 hangar carrier that's a playable ship or just a NPC ship.

    A Voth City ship seems really doubtful for us to fly or even encounter. It is a City Ship so it would be filled with civilians and not be encountered in a military setting unless we are destroying it for some cruel and unethical reason or at some point when the fight between us and the Voth has ended. Cryptic is cryptic about new ships that they are going to release until its about a couple of weeks away from them putting it in the game.

    The only clue we have about the next 2 hangar carrier is that it has 2 hangars and has Carrier stats.

    Fleet Kar'Fi would fit the bill for what OP is looking for. I believe that's a 4/3 with two hangar bays. Unfortunately, it has Cmdr. Sci rather than Tac so it's probably more effective as a Sci carrier rather than a Tac carrier.

    I've not been made aware of any new carriers coming. Only things I heard about new ships were another KDF ship (assumed to be the Negh'Var variant) and rumblings about the possibility of Sci Warbird for the Romulans.

    The "other KDF ship" was almost certainly the fleet Mogh. After all, it came out right after Feds got "two ships" in the form of the Avenger and its fleet version, and Romulans got three in the form of the same ship at the tier 4, tier 5, and fleet levels.

    Wrong. It's been said several times that the KDF were getting two ships - one to come "after Christmas".

    The Kar'fi is actually pretty capable as Tac carrier with Lt. and Lt. Comm Tac BOffs and 4 Tac consoles (3 for C-Store). I've been flying the C-Store version on my Tac KDF for some time now, solid damage from it's own weapons, Sci CC, and pretty nice frigate pets. Can't tank as well as the JHDC, though, with having only a Lt. Engineer BOff and only two engineering consoles (The fleet Kar'fis higher shield mod might mitigate this, though).

    impossible, impractical and too large. besides its so massive you could launch 4 dreadies and destroy everything in moments or go to launch 4 voth carriers and in turn the npc launches 16 npc frigates each for full blown control and dominion of the map.
    T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.

    What I'd really like to see is a more Trek looking Federation 2 hangar carrier. The Atrox is cool but how about something more canon looking.

    was never a fan of the escort carriers and that ugly atrox anyways. need a dedicated federation carrier.

    A Frigate for the federation would be nice. These paper fighters are annoying.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think that the Atrox is a beautiful ship.

    I have not heard of any ... yet.

    Although, I do get my carrier fix in by owning an Atrox, a Tholian Recluse, and the Obelisk carrier. I've ended up keeping to the Recluse because it's just pretty -- but it would be interesting to see where a carrier would go on the Fed side without having to borrow/steal it from aliens.

    Obelisk and Fleet Obelisk just came out, doubt they'll be another 2-hangar carrier soon. I don't find the Obelisk all that bad, have my KDF Orion flying one now and it holds out pretty well, and it's just the non-fleet version. Mostly carrying beams, have her BOFFS sci and eng heavy, and the HG space set on her running most voth beams.... gives her some tanking capacity while directed purple swarmers on targets.

    I liked the Fed carrier from the Starfleet Command game. I know we'll never get IT since it belongs to Interplay, but something close would be nice.

    Or the one I liked from the Next Enterprise contest. It looks carrier-ish with the lower extended hull.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Maybe the reason why we have the Atrox and Heavy Escort Carrier and no dedicated Starfleet Carrier is because CBS said no or the same reason why Feds can't get a Battle Cloak. I remember before the Atrox, threads about a Federation Carrier and adding a Starfleet Carrier would ruin part of the value of the KDF faction since each faction is supposed to have their own unique style of ships.

    Honestly, I personally still feel that way.

    Outside of easier time earning Dilithium, there hardly is a reason to play KDF anymore. Klingons lost cloaks, carriers, and now battlecruisers and raiders. And on top of that, Romulans are more fun to play than KDF due to their Singularity Powers.

    I have the feeling that the Next Full Carrier that we might see playable in-game will be the Breen Capitol Ship.

    The sad part about the above is that we'll have to wait about a year to see it has the next Breen vessel reward for the winter event unless it gets added to the lobi store before that.

    What I think will happen is that we'll get a free version of the Capitol ship from next years winter event and an Advanced version of it in the Lobi Store similar to the way that the Obelisk was released.
