I'll pass on these ships, but I hope the inevitable T6 Defiant is a full on Pilot ship
It'll probably be like the Andromeda, a hybrid pilot ship with a LtC Tac/Pilot seat but no spec ability. If I were to guess, you'll see it the first week in July, 3 months after the last iconic bundle.
The fed and kdf ship looks cool. The Romulan ship doesn't look Romulan at all (I've never seen a bird looking remotely like that, except a really angry chicken perhaps).
But then, they are cannon ship, and cannon in the current meta is totally underpowered. That's too bad, because when cannonboat were still fun, I would have bought them. Especially considering that on 5 characters, I made 3 of them for cannons ship, and only 1 for beams (1for sci). Nowadays, I have no cannon ship in use.
The thing we already Know: How are these the only ships that have access to Pilot Bridge Officer powers? We have observed Sulu's "Fly Her Apart" on the Excelsior-class, Riker's Maneuvers on the Sovie, and just about all of them on the Defiant. Pilot Bridge Officer powers, described as they have been, should not be limited to "Pilot-Ships"
2. Wings
Why do the Klingons and Romulans have a monopoly on wings? If there ever was to be a Starfleet Ship design that had "wings", this would have been it. A winged federation starship would not interfere with the Klingon and romulan birds. Consider something like this: http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/P-1112_Aigaion
I'm a total cheer-leader for Cryptic ships. Concorde-Class, Regent-Class, Venture-Class, Armitage-Class, all beautiful. The Romulan Command ships and the new Dominion bugship are also excellent. I've praised nearly every ship one so far, though these I'm just not getting behind.

Anyway, back to my beamboats.
Keep on sandpapering those shields and generating all the aggro so cannon boats who actually kill things can do so more quickly. We really appreciate it.
I expected the pilot planes to be introduced in the summer event, but looking back with the delta flight FE this was to be expected.
Still expect the summer plane (there will probably be an uproar if there is no plane for the summer event) to have significant pilot abilities.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
I expect the command pilot powers won't see much use, considering the seat is a tac hybrid and we all know how this game is focused on dps above all else.
Lol what a TRIBBLE idea with the pilot ships special powers...
Currently we have a 4s dmg immunity over 30s (t4 iconian rep)
4s dmg immunity over 45s from trait
around 5s dmg immunity from RNR
so we have already a bull**** amount of dmg immunity (dont remember if i didmt missed something).
now you want to give pilot ships 4 new abilities combined with dmg immunity!?
So you want the ships in STO PVP (and PVE) to be perma dmg immune? what kind of TRIBBLE dev though of this brainless idea !?
i quess its time to quit this game - but i could though that its about time when i saw the t4 iconian reps... a 2.5% subnuke and dmg immunity - compleatly fitting and usefull against PVE mobs and not design purely with intention to ruin the rest of pvp players (who by irony last succes made the iconianian mobs pwn 99,99999% of pve players by perma nonbrakable chaining of ionic ).
Wow!
One question: why could it not have been a bird of prey for the kdf?
It just seems like a fit for pilot specialization.
Yeah it would be and funny how someone said in a podcast their priority was a T6 bop. Meh though I've always had a bad view on the standard cloaking it pretty much serves no purpose other than the start of a prolonged battle.
So yeah while the T6 bop would have been ideal it was not as they say it is yet again so I think I'll pass I have enough raptors now lol.
Double tap forward - Immune
Rock & Roll - Immune
Double tap left - Immune
Hull heal with temporal insight - Immune
Double tap back - Immune
I give up with trying to argue about how out of control things have gotten, and we haven't gotten to the traits and consoles.
Back to playing Rust, where it's PvP all day and teamwork and balance exist.
lol Watch Dogs is the only game where PvP may end before it even starts
I need to get to him. I can't just leave him out there alone. - Sometimes you've got to makes sacrifices, Lara. You can't save everyone. - I know about sacrifices. - No, you know about loss. Sacrifice is a choice you make. Loss is a choice made for you. - I can't choose to let him die, Roth.
No honestly...this makes me laugh so hard, so no other ship
A has a helmsman
B cant rotate its axis it prevent the shields being hit from top to dorsal
C cant go reverse....bodly going forward because.....
D cant do a quick burst forward akin more like a true ramming speed....
I mean really, pilot ships should be what every ship should have access to
But whatever, I know the ship sale is coming soon anyway since it always follows the zen sale.
Ill just buy something else, like a cruiser and faw myself to death
To be fair it was only last month we where complaining that surgical strikes one shots every body. Now seems they are adding stuff to increase survivability.
I'd imagine a PvP match 5vs5 pilot ships will be a hell of a lot of fun!
Well, the Fed ship just does not look like a Fed ship. Maybe some sort of slow civilian transport or a small freighter. Really strange direction to take for a ship you'd expect to look sleek and fast. It looks slow and unmaneuverable
The KDF ship at least looks somewhat like you might expect. It looks like a mix between a Vor'Cha, a Bird of Prey, with a bit of Raptor thrown in. It looks fairly aggressive and predatory.
While I like how the Romulan ship looks, it doesn't look like I'd expect a Romulan ship to look. There's no real separation of the pylon 'wings' from the main body that gives the appearance of a bird of prey. More like some sort of predatory alien fish.

There's no drag in space so sleek doesn't do much. The aesthetic in that pic is 60's muscle car. If it makes you feel better, the Mercury variant is sleeker.
Can I have a T6 Pilot-themed Defiant please? I don't want a ship that looks any different... I like this one. I'm happy to pay for it, but I want to keep the vague shape of my ship looking like a development of Sisko's ship.

The Federation and KDF ones look.. different.. from what I recall seeing in Delta Flight. I.. presume these are independent hulls with their own set of customization options? (The Federation one REALLY looks like a Paranid ship from the X space sim series.)
Otherwise, the Maneuvering sounds interesting.. as long as it's not as clunky/unresponsive as rolls in ground combat are.
If I'm completely honest, they really don't look like ships engineers from each respective faction would come up with.
Comments
Because thats what we "really" need at the moment with the state of the game.
Heh. But we all know this would be a sensible thing to do, so forget it...
It's been a progression like this since around S7...with nothing ever suggesting it would ever change.
It'll probably be like the Andromeda, a hybrid pilot ship with a LtC Tac/Pilot seat but no spec ability. If I were to guess, you'll see it the first week in July, 3 months after the last iconic bundle.

Well, this will certainly help everyone to improve his DPS at the expense of everything else, right?

WTF is that? Safe bet I'll NEVER buy one of these.
Thankfully, I am Romulan. The only faction that has good looking ships. And women. Both? The same? Heh!
I haven't thought of that since I was a young boy which was a while ago.

Wait 3 months.
Cryptic, Orangie is disappoint.
