    Hopefully these ships dont cause as much lag as the command ships :/

    On a lighter note I think there should be some new abilities that cross specializations. For example: A command ability called "Do a Barrel Role" that when activated any Pilot ships automatically do a barrel role, but dont require a cooldown :P

    Yeah great, new ships, well done....

    How about fixing the damn lag first before trying to sell us more TRIBBLE we dont want !

    Sorry to sound Irate, but it's getting beyond a joke now ! All you seem to care about is releasing new stuff for us poor idiots to buy when for the vast majority of us the game is nigh on unplayable !

    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.

    Because all birds in Star Trek must look just like the ones on planet earth?

    I'm in for my new delta recruit. Looks enough like the Defiant to me. Plus love the rock and roll.

    i praise the lord they reworked the fed ship.

    way more convincing and believable pilotship than the "kitbash" one with akira pylons held together by a pathfinder deflector.

    THX.

    defenetely a buy.

    Please get a clue. If the art and ships systems guys could help with that, they would have them doing so. What's an art guy going to do to help? Paint pretty pictures of lag?

    There are 3 versions for each faction, that is just one of three they just showed, the other version is still there plus we have 1 more to be seen...

    Speak for yourself. And try not to speak such nonsense. The ship artists and programmers can't switch departments on the fly like that and take care of game issues that have nothing to do with ship artistry and programming.

    We’re super excited to reveal the brand new Tier 6 Pilot starships! These agile and powerful ships will be released soon!

    Learn more about these maneuverable beauties!

    ~LaughingTrendy

    (PS - Danger Zoooooooone)


    How many more ships you lot going to release in this broken game?

    Seriously, season 10 my fleet and I done in less then 3 days, bored already.
    Still laggy/rubberbanding in this game and I refuse to make a delta recruit and do
    everything over again which I already done on my main and alts.

    Fix lag, it's been there since beginning of 2015! More content to queue in for level 50+
    Make something for fleet members only like a few 20 man fleet maps, only fleet members can queue for!

    Stop the farm and grind features like new reputation tabs etc.

    Increase gaining Specialization points, it goes way to slow, we aren't drones, come on
    this game feels like a 2nd day job since Delta Rising came out.

    Stop introducing new ships and work more on the game, it's still fulllllll of bugs and glitches. Come on guys, I know a lot have been fired at Cryptic due to low income from the game but no need to punish us.

    30 bucks for a T6 ship is way to much. Lower it to 20 make it affordable again for a lot of people and you might actually get some profit out of it then you do now.

    I am really torn, I need to see the other Hulls, Mastery Traits, and Consoles before I make any final decisions.

    With 2 Feds, 3 Roms, and 7 KDF, just not sure how I want to approach this.

    Given I haven't had time for more than doffing, and I get my 1000 day vet ships in the end of this week, make me not really feel any rush to do so either.

    With any luck the other hulls will inspire me.

    I may go so far as to test the ROM/KDF ships on tribble.
    Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

    So, reducing the price by 1/3 is going to make them sell more than 1/3 more ships of the type? That's some Reagan-level wishful thinking economics going on right there.

    Eh, I'm not gonna be able to afford these babies. Too many bundles coming out too fast.

    I think I'm gonna save up for more costume slots.

    Another three ship bundle. Figures. I wish Cryptic would stop selling things in threes. :rolleyes:

    Pilot Maneuvers looks pretty interesting. So we can do these maneuvers similar to dodging on the ground? There's no bar to fill up or anything?

    It seems I'm not the only one wondering if there's any plans to release Tier 6 ships that aren't part of some bundle...

    T6 Pathfinder - Intrepid Pack
    T6 Intel Ships, Mat'ha, Aelahl and Guardian and Dauntless - Delta Ops pack
    T6 'Iconic' cruisers - Cross Faction Cruiser pack
    Command Cruisers - faction bundles or Megapack

    And now the Pilot Ships are going to be faction packs or megapack. Except for lock box grand prizes and promotion ships (Winter 2014, Anniversary 2015 and R&D promotions), which were individual ships, every Tier 6 ship issued so far has been part of one bundle or another. Why haven't there been any 'stand-alone' Tier 6 ships released?

    These look super annoying for PvP. Glad I don't PvP. :D

    So MORE ships already. Jesus Cryptic, take a break from making new stuff and fix the damn game's issues!
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Considering Geko's stance on KDF Science Vessels, combined with this whole bundle thing they're doing now, it makes me kinda concerned about the whole 1/3 of the ship styles that are implied to be neglected from now on(assuming that other Science-based ships will be neglected too, like Carriers or Sci-heavy Warbirds)
    Jesus Cryptic, take a break from making new stuff and fix the damn game's issues!
    That makes no sense. You want the ship artists and programmers to not have anything to do while the technicians do just as much work as they'd do if the ship artists and programmers were still doing this stuff...?

    Cryptic released the Guardian-class cruiser, and then was promptly dogpiled for not releasing any KDF or Romulan equivelants. Or really... any ship at all except for what was in the bundles.

    I'm almost finished with my 6th character (30 spec points in intel and 15 in pilot) you going to nerv doffing, thats my main way to get spec points. So, no i'm not going to buy a new ship so i can grind again and this time the grinding would be even worse.

    I am so happy. I have a few questions though:
    Will there be any lockbox Pilot ships in the future?
    Will I be able to use the Enhanced Inertial Damper Field from the Hirogen Hunter Heavy Escort on the pilot ships?
    Why is there no loop-de-loop ability?

    that's my problem too. I was saving up for a 3pack but I can't afford a 9 pack right now after I got the command ships and the iconic ships.

    You have no idea how much I wanted to do this.

    Watching the ships use their maneuver abilities is actually pretty frackin' cool. It's a very quick translation in space position that can be done extremely frequently. We're getting some non-static-pictures prepared for ya'll to show off the cool new moves.

    The team is working with customization for the ships once again. So you'll be able to see a lot of translatable parts as you mix-and-match how you design your ship.

    Well everything is better then this, look how many players they lost since Delta Rising when people already were complaining about the 30 bucks for T6 ships and look at beginning of this year, less income resulted in cut backs, 19 Cryptic employees fired.

    I am sure if they reduce costs on ships and make it affordable like it used to be more people would buy. So stop that Reagan-level wishful nonsens and just look at the facts.

    I know PWE is a money grabbing company and making all their games focus on farming and grinding but this just takes the !@#$ !!

Why haven't there been any 'stand-alone' Tier 6 ships released?
    Because the developers themselves outright stated that Bundles sold more consistently and were the most popular purchase (helps that the 3-pack is buy 2 get 1 free and the 9-pack is buy 6 get 3 free; before limited-time sales/discounts).

    As well, they also went on record stating that tying all future faction ships to bundles ensures they cover the KDF and Romulans. Though they didn't state it as well, the other two ships are faster to design since they base the stats off their Fed counterparts. And it draws less griefing rather than release one ship and the other 2 factions throw a whinefest over it.

    Outside of that, single ships exist in the most lucrative form; Events (metric padding), Lobi, Lockbox, and Promotionals (the latter 3 all directly money-based).

    As to the designs, I don't like the light-freighter look of the shown Fed version. The KDF one looks too fragile with that skinny long neck, and the Romulan one looks like they gutted the captured Elachi S'Golth and rebuilt it with Reman styling. Of them, I only like the Romulan one depicted (as I love the Elachi ships).

    Also, anyone expecting a BoP so soon is delusional. It's always the new T6 original ship designs first, then T6 variants of existing ships.

    The next Iconic pack will somehow likely tie a Defiant, a BoP, and probably a T'Varo together, though that will take the most work given there's no similarities to cut time spent on.

    Or a Defiant, a Raptor, and a T'Varo in one Iconic pack (if they want to cut corners and share similar seating arrangements and consoles like the Cruiser Iconic pack), and the Aquarius, BoP, and original Rom equivalent in another Iconic pack (if they want to make BoPs for all factions while sticking to their promise of A T6 BoP).

    I would buy a couple of Tier 6 ships if they were cheaper then 30 dollars :(
    30 dollars is like already a new game you can buy. Wish they were 20 like they used to with T5 ships. Lost so many friends since Delta Rising, so many have quit the game :(
