Can anyone make out the ship silhouette in the HUD on the screen projected on the wall? I know the Bortas looks like it's taking center stage but the silhouette is definitely not the Bortas. The HUD is red themed which suggests KDF but I dunno.
Also, tentacles?
I am actually more interested in the whiteboard...
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
looks like next years winter event in the works or a risian race, perhaps a rocket pack race? it looks like it's got banners, an animations of what looks like something heading between em along with flags drawn... never know :P

Well, whatever they do, I hope it looks better than what they've been putting out fed-side lately. And based on what they've been doing for anniversary, it might be safe to assume that it could be 3 ships with different focuses (odyssey, vesta, scimitar). If so, I really hope they put more effort into it this time, and make each ship noticeably different from its counterparts. The odyssey bundle seems so lazy, the way every BO layout is exactly the same, and the only difference is tac/sci/eng equipment slots. I wanna see a layout without any universal consoles that fits each ships role.
Good question. I heard rumors that Cryptic wanted to add the Constellation class as a ship to the game and could imagine them doing it similarly to how they added the Ambassador last time.
Now the question is: If it really is the Constellation, will she be a science or cruiser vessel?
It would kinda fit both. She could be a hybrid vessel like the Nebula.
As for the other factions, I have no idea. It would be kinda nice if everyone would get ships vastly different from the ones the other factions get, but I think that is unlikely.
So my guess is:
Constellation cruiser or science vessel for Federation. Base version tier II or III with a tier V retrofit event version and a later fleet retrofit one.
I don't know what the others might get. There aren't any canon KDF or Romulan ships coming to my mind that are still missing. I heard Cryptic said no I to a K'Vort I believe, so thats probably not it.
they already have that type of ship already in game for the feds and i doubt they will rehash it for the anniversary

The Nexus is supposed to return in 2410 and while it makes sense for the year to be some reasonable year like 2420 or later, STO should change the year to 2410 soon. Maybe the Anniversary event will finally have the Nexus return.
They come from another dimension so they probably just decided to go after easier targets. Not every universe has a Federation or some Empire that can defend against them. After all, the Parallels episode from TNG showed a few universes that had the Federation devastated or destroyed by the Borg. Although, there are better options where the Federation was never formed and there is no real threat by any of the inhabitants.
Well... do they have the ability to access those? We don't really know what they had the ability to attack.

Accessing the next alternate universe is always far easier than accessing the first one. After all, there is not much difference between the Prime Universe and the universe right beside it. The Enterprise-D and Voyager had episodes where they were exposed to thousands of alternate dimension duplicates of themselves through accidents so it is not hard for a race that knows what they are doing to access those dimensions as well. Even if they have to make a quick pit stop in the Prime Universe.
IMHO.... wil hopefully stay in the poison cabinet, next to spocks brain, the entire voy episode threshold, evil picard clones, the DVD "riding lessons with captain Kirk" and disco balls (yes, i know that they are in the game, but i still hope that someone with access to a time machine an 1.21 gigawatt can change this!).
Beta, LTA, CE, Multiple preorder Versions, all Addon Packs except AoY, nearly all KDF/Rom and ~50% of all Fedships, over 25 LockboxShips, Endurer of Atari's "Year of Hell", but...
If it happens, that may be the closest thing we'll ever get to a Tier 5 Miranda frigate.
Wow, please not. There are more than enough ugly starfleet ship in STO already, how about introducing something nice looking for a change?

besides how do you know you are really out the ribbon and still not inside kirk or picard's mind? you have no way to know. so yeah generations wasnt that great on the storyline. it should never get out.

i want a t5 miranda, not some fanmade ship like this or the shi'khar. but im more likely to see the sun explode in several billion years before it becomes a reality, if that at all.
Maybe they will give something away this anniversary that is not a ship? Maybe a tribble?
we already have enough fluff and tribbles, there is some clear evidence to support at least one ship design for the feds in this coming anniversary. and if it was just fluff for the anniversary as a gift i wouldnt even notice the event.

I'm hoping for this year ship to be the Norway Class. it is one of my favorite ships, and I'm a bit surprise that it's not been featured in all the years of STO despite it being part of Star Trek cannon.
It they were to add this ship I would probably play the game more longer.

Huh, Mogh? Could be.

doubt it, the shape is all wrong since klingon ships have "necks" and this one looks like it's got "bulges" on the sides.

The whiteboard is interesting too, looks like environment animations based on cues, sort of like what we saw in Spheres of Influence.

Though personally, I rather Cryptic finishing adding ALL canonical ships, even if they personally have an issue. :rolleyes:
