Where is everyone and their command ships?

This is very strange. I don't see many command ships flying around. This is against the laws of nature and the universe itself. There are new shiny toys out, but no one is flying them! WHERE ARE THEY!?
Am...Am I losing my mind? What is happening? :eek:

however its not an intelligence ship and I've actually grown rather fond of the intelligence warbirds, so I'm not going to fork over cash for something that would stay in mothballs
Fed ships virtually look the same, and the KDF ones are pieces of junk. The romulan Deihu if i have the name right, looks ok but thats about it.
The Samsar even has a lt cmdr sci seating. I don't see the upgrade, myself.
They look pretty, but they really don't bring anything of significance over existing vessels, other than the Command station, which as far as I've seen, Command Space abilities are kinda 'meh' anyway...
I had considered the Romulan pack, primarily so that my Reman Sci can get a proper Science vessel with a cloak, but given it's only a Lt Cmdr Sci station, I might as well stick with a T5U Scimitar...
Look at the announcement on Facebook, all the comments are 'I'm getting one,' and 'I can't wait to buy these.'
Cryptic is going to clean up on these ships.
None of that money will come from me, but they won't care. Their business model continues to work just fine. Neglect the actual game, continually release new ships, back up a dump truck to collect all the money.
Same as it always has been.
Many people who have jobs have hours called "swing shifts." We don't work from 9am to 5pm. Be toxic logically.
Besides, I suspect many people want to "test the water" and take a peek at them and their performance from others that jumped and bought one immediately. Probably many players are waiting for Smirk's livestream tomorrow to take a good peak at them in some action before they make the final decision.
I will say this; I hope the Devs continue to provide actually useful bonuses for the console sets (such as Turning) in addition to whatever exclusive bonuses they come up with. The 4-piece is good enough to replace a standard RCS console without much loss in turn rate (and still turns faster than some older T5 cruisers).
That said, still not a fan of any of the lower hull designs (too Oberth Hull/Excelsior Bland styling for my tastes).
The ship more or less plays out as a miniature front-line fort. Get in and turtle; deploying all 3 console turrets and just watching those mines and turrets help you chew everything up. The shield healing turret pretty much acts like the Bio-Molecular Shield Active Trait, while the Tachyon turret helps strip shields to nothing (making way for the double weapons turrets and their mines). And if you somehow get too much aggro, pop that Kobali console and just re-armor. And pop overwhelm shields/emitters (the space ability) and regen your shield. Just be sure to Evasive Maneuver out if you literally sat in the middle of a large group of NPCs.
I fail to see how pointing out the fact that at 1PM Pacific / 4PM Eastern, the vast majority of those in America would be at work or in school is "toxic", or even illogical.
That is the one bright spot from these ships. Adding consoles doesn't mean giving up precious space as before.
In the end I won't buy them because:
1) They are cruisers, and I prefer pure science ship.
2) The one science trait in there is not really useful for PvE and junk for the current "one hit kill" state of PvP
Other people won't buy them because:
1) Intel abilities are so OP, why bother with command abilities?
Might I point out that it's already night here in Europe.
As people have said, however, it's still pretty early in the day for some people, and it's possible that other people are holding off until the early buyers have given them a proper shakedown cruise and reported back.
Still, I don't seem them being quite as popular as, say, the Intelligence ships, due to their more defensive/supportive nature as cruisers.
People who don't work standard hours are a minority and can be aggressively vocal about it.
I used to work nightshift but the only people that I'd tell about it were the cops that knocked on my door just about every Saturday morning asking if I heard any commotion in the apartment building during the night. If I was lucky I'd pass them in the hall as I was going to my apartment to save the dash to the door.
Unless the vast majority were just unimpressed and passed.
1. Non-canon designs don't impress me, I like the ones from Star Citizen better. Offer updated canon designs and we'll talk.
2. They're tanking cruisers w/o the cruiser weapon eff. ability. What use do I have for such a creature?
3. Haven't checked after today's patch yet (patch notes did look good, but what they claim is fixed isn't always fixed), but they aren't getting money from me until I see bugs fixed.
Fed - Galaxy
KDF - K'Tinga
Romulan - D'Deridex
Does these count?
Currently I hadn't bought any. They are costly and with other ships in my list to buy first. It will be a while before I get one.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
Also we all know theyll eventually release fleet variants of the intel for that missing 11th console so why not just wait and keep using the useful ships
If they want to 'sell' ships they should give a couple to Ryan and Felisan from the DPS channels and let them do the livestream melting things....
Smirk's builds are always 'lol what?!' and not the best way of showing off the new toys...
...#LLAP...
Normally when they launch a ship I'm like "Ah yeah, might get it." But this time I just felt they completely missed the mark. They only released the Pathfinder not long ago. I get them wanting to make money but I see nothing ground breaking in this command tree stuff, it just doesn't look needed per s
I think most people are becoming tired of PWE fleecing the players (remember how mercilessly they pushed the DR Operations pack?). There's nothing but meh about these Command ships.
