Telling us Eff-All about the ship really isn't a great way to generate interest.
It's especially pointless, given that the boxed stats have been up for days... and the wise sages have filled in one important piece of info that D'Kora owners care about. 90% of the info is out about this ship... this stuff should have been released last week.

All ships have multiple blogs over several days. This is nothing new. You might not like delayed gratification, but slowly revealing details with a buildup is an effective sales technique used around the world for centuries.
For myself, I think it looks cool and I'm quite interested to know if it has a dabo table or any other amenities from the d'kora, or not.
Also, hoping it shows off the ship name as clearly as the corvette and cruiser did.
Why would Zelek have latinum fillings? Latinum is a liquid at room temperature. The worthless gold is pressed around it to give it a solid form.
.
latinum is also toxic as shown by what it did to morn. But I imagine he has platinum I side gold then capped over his teeth. The idea is "just because it is expensive". Same reason people gold plate their cars today.
The Nandi takes Ferengi technology and comfort to a whole new level! Introducing the Nandi Warship, now with real fake authentic imitation totally-legitimate latinum!
How big (or small) is this thing suppose to be? When I read warship, I was thinking something of similar size to the Galaxy and D'Kora, but this thing seems to resemble something the size of the Defiant. My assumption is based on the size of the windows.
Nice design though, however I'm not a fan of the textures.
It kinda looks like a D'Kora crashed into that ship in your Signature and the Ferengi made the best of it. Not bad but also no D'Kora
I have a feeling we aren't going to get anything significant confirmed about this ship until about 45 seconds before the event actually starts.
Seems that way. I don't mind the fluff myself but it should have been accompanied by some actual details. However, I wasn't surprised at the lack considering how Trendy focused on being goofy over answering questions in yesterday's rewards thread.
Trendy, I'm sure it's more about your hands being tied over willfully not answering questions/giving details but I beg of you, try and get whoever's making that decision to seriously reexamine it.
"Do you have time for planning and construction? Materials? I know there have been shortages because of the war," Zelek said. "The Alliance is buying up or claiming anything they need to fight the Iconians. But we thought ahead. Built up stockpiles of supplies for just this occasion
Those greedy TRIBBLE! :P
I'll remember this next time the Undine attack Ferenginar!

Given what people have been putting Trendy through over the past few days, I think I'd rather see "goofy Trendy" than the potential alternative, "wrathful Trendy".

Well yeah but we already have the stats courtesy of Tribble (doubt they're gonna change those in the next 2 days). So really all we lacked was a picture and knowledge of the interior at this point. Secrecy to try and create artificial excitement doesn't really work when secrecy can't be maintained.
The colors are a bit too cartoony for my taste in starships. Luckily we'll be able to change it. It looks like a bad guy vehicle from a 1980's toy line. Keep up the good work.
Since you guys are coming out with T6 versions of old lockbox ships, will there be any way to upgrade the older versions in the future?
"Because the Lobi Crystal Consortium knows what captains want!"
Real bug fixes? Fair balancing? Not having their ships be outdated a few months later? Server actually being stable for once? Being told something we love is gonna change far in advance instead of the last second (Reputation projects not benefiting from Dil Bonus weekend)? Add actually useful ships instead of rehashing old ones?
Given what people have been putting Trendy through over the past few days, I think I'd rather see "goofy Trendy" than the potential alternative, "wrathful Trendy".
Yet neither accomplishes anything.... maybe that should be re-evaluated.
Looks nice! Though I must say, given traditional Ferengi designs, it looks like it's flying backwards. Though since it's not a canon ship, I guess it's not as bad as the Benthan cruiser flying backwards. :P
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!

WHAT WHERE!?
Oh geez...don't do that man, wrathful Trendy is enough to give Q nightmares...phew, thought we where all doomed there for a moment...:o
12% Crit Chance & 30% Crit Severity... on top of Rom player RO if slotted.
I going to fly this ship with a tac captian as a beam boat with infinite power. (Elite fleet plasma-integrated warp core with [Eff] + plasmonic leech) I will also cycle in an additional drain or two to keep my drain immunity up. Too bad I will have to wait a month to fly it (considering the grind).
12% Crit Chance & 30% Crit Severity... on top of Rom player RO if slotted.
5 Locator consoles on top, RO captain, Precision, weapon specialization, and the borg module, you can get a 30%+ crit rate without even using the upgrade system. 4 flow cap / plasma-burst consoles in the sci slots, leech and borg module in the eng slots covers consoles without having to get fancy. Dual FAWs, dual attack patterns, and dual TTs in the tac (and universal) slots. EPTW/EPTS in the eng Lt, ST and HE in the sci Lt. I admit I don't know piloting skills but probably PH then 2 skills in the LtCmdr. Just a quick-and-dirty sort of setup without even any traits and still sounds unpleasant. Not gonna unseat the Scimitar, but a fair threat to the FPER?

Well... I guess my one Ferengi captain and Laughing Trendy will like it? It's... not exactly what I was hoping for from a Summer on Risa. =/

Haha.. that's exactly what I thought, too.. - I really hope D'Kora owners are able to use the D'Kora skin/costume on that ship.
No, she said there were 2 blogs... she never said BOTH were coming out today.... just a 5 minute heads up for this one.

We already have all the info. Beating around the bush is just being obstinate.
Browse back a little further. There are two due today; we just don't know what the second one is about yet.

Would you like me to go on?

All right, I'll admit that was funny.
Ship is ugly as sin, though.
I'll still get it but I am not near as excited as I was. I was hoping something that resembled a D'Kora with some flare and flash...
Oh well...

Where they will charge you to use their additional planetary defenses to save their planet.
