    Ah, the classic lives on! :)
    latest?cb=20130812215342&path-prefix=en

    It's hard to top this kind of beauty.
    I'm kinda' happy this is said to be Geko's favourite ship, always good to have this iconic classic at end game level.
    I wish you could see her from additional angles. There is no denying she's an Excelsior when you see her nose-on.​​

    I kinda' wish that as well.....anything you can do about that? ;)

    Hmmm not sure about this one. I can already make a pretty close Excelsior kitbash, from the Command cruisers; in fact, when I first saw this ship, I thought it was another unreleased skin for them..

    The ship will live or die on the stats, as the trait doesn't sound that great, imho.

    The only plus side is the fact that you can use the old Excelsior costumes, but I am not sure that is enough for me.

    Huh? T6 Excel by itself? No matching KDF or Rom ships to pack it with?

    The only good news is that it's Command for it's hybrid, which will probably imit how many are out and about (Plenty of Command ships already, no really OP Command BOff abilities). "While this trait is slotted your Aceton Beam and Overwhelm Emitters abilities cause radiation damage over time to enemies within 3km of the target." with Overwhelm Emitters being a Command BOff ability.

    You misspelled Odyssey.

    Either that or you put the pic for the T6 Odyssey (that I'm certain is Coming Soon™) up in its place.

    Not a bad looking ship, but I'm "cruisered" out.

    Pass.

    Excelsoir not. It doesn't look like it at all.

    Well, I was WONDERING when they'd update the Excelsior. As for the look... well, at the threat of getting banned, who GIVES a TRIBBLE how the standard looks as long as you can use the classic skins? I'll replace my T5 Excelsior with that thing, but I'll keep the Excelsior skin. It's got better Boff seating, probably better console slots. The only way to make my day any better is for CBS to stop being morons and give us our classic, 2273 CONSTITUTION-CLASS IN T6!
    Foolish, yes. But a man can dream.

    From the angle in the first picture it looks more like a small Odyssey than an Excelsior.

    On another note when are we going to get some more T6 Science ships, such as a Tier 6 Vesta?

    I'll want to see the seating of course. But I'm more in the mood for a tac focused cruiser right now. The Arbiter's looking pretty nice.

    it looks more like a t6 version of a connie without calling it a connie to avoid the license issue. so now those t6 connie fanboys get their wish regardless of what pwe call it on the marketing, to me its an obvious misdirection by calling out the excelsior when it looks nothing like the excelsior. besides that, with the DR thing, my t5u fleet excel got a ship trait anyways, so i see no point in upgrading to this transparent ploy of a ship.
    T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.

    It looks okay. Though I'm not sure on all of these elongated saucers we've got going now. And I would love some new bridge designs!!!
  • blgoldenforceblgoldenforce Member Posts: 12 Arc User
    I'll pass on this one, because when I think Excelsior, I think of the man who made that class famous, Hikaru Sulu aka George Takei. 'Nuff said.
  • nikolunusnikolunus Member Posts: 162 Arc User
    Hmm not going to complain about her, not going to buy her ether though. Will save my wallet until a Rom Sci ship or a T6 Nova comes out.
    Space is vast, it's wonderful and maddening. Yet in that madness is some of the greatest beauty I have ever seen.

    JEEZE! Another Ship? Any chance we could get some bug fixes and broader content with these money grabs *cough* I mean generous curios?

    What I'm curious about is if the new cruiser retains the Advanced Transwarp ability of the Excelsior, or if they dropped it. No mention of it in the blog, so we'll have to wait for the follow-up, which will probably be pointless as it no doubt will be available in the shipyards before the stats are blogged out.

    Personally, I think they didn't understand some of the design considerations of the original Excelsior, and the new ship is too much like someone wanted to say it is an updated Excelsior without actually making one. We'll see how it looks tomorrow, I presume.

    Gosh I sure wish they'd make some more ships with that awful triangular saucer shape they've been over using lately. Oh, and thank god they retained the unique style of Excelsior. It doesn't look like a badly kit-bashed command cruiser at all.. It looks like a duck.

    Pretty much looks like one of the command cruisers. How very underwhelming. >_>

    Does look more like an Excelsior from that angle right enough. Though I don't get why all the saucer sections have to be elongated of late, what's wrong with a classic round shape? My friend will love this though, solely so he can use his standard Excelsior skin on a T6 ship lol.

    It looks like a kid's toy. I feel like I'm going to break that damn thing.

    And yes, another T6 ship I won't buy. So far they're batting a 0 with my wallet. I'm sure they'll get around to a ship I wouldn't mind re-purchasing again for $5 more without any sort of discount eventually. Till then, I'll let my stipend build up.

    Ive been personally telling Cryptic to buiild a T6 Excelsior and it would sell like hot cakes if the design was right. Im not even a Super fan of the ship, dont own the advanced ship. But from first impression, not impressed. Who chose THIS angle for a first impression? BAD DECISION. And for an EPIC ship variant, you gotta come with MULTIPLE pictures on a first post. And really, some in action multi angle game play footage for a PROPER first impression. Who does the marketing there? They need to go back to school. Also, saucer should have stayed ROUND. All you have to do is supersize the ship, make sleeker modern lines, and bam, instant mega seller. This ship could have made me roll a new toon just to command it, not feeling that so far with this BAD first impression.

    Aceton beam needed a boost, but overwhelm emitters, really?

    Still looks a bit too much like the command battlecruisers https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJ5-xu3UwAAimYN.png:large

    Nice ship - feels like a waste to present it to a shoddy community though. Pearls to pigs.

    Can't wait to see it ingame. :)

    Herein lies the remains of a good offer poorly marketed. I've mentioned this before - You guys need to take the time to do a short vid for each ship. It's worth it. You undersell yourselves almost every time.

    I can see the neck (assuming its a separate piece/unlikely) nacells and pylons working as a next gen excelcior, the saucer and hull though... they just make it look bloated, the thing that always appealed to me about the original were the sleek and thin lines new design just as many have said looks like a smaller command cruiser.

    All I'm seeing is a variant of a Command cruiser .

    Regarding the saucer, I'm gonna wait til it comes out. I can always put the original saucer on it and kitbash a "refit" for myself. :)
