    I am a bit shocked to see this one,
    like the users above me, I half expected the t6 defiant, kdf bop and romulan bop to have made an appearance now with pilot abilities...

    Carriers are nifty and all but until the pilots of our pets we launch get half a brain and don't fly into every damn explosion on the map, I still wont use them.

    Is it just me or is there alot of development time put into pets these days. I mean, consoles, traits, ship traits, mastery traits and now Lockbox reward traits and the new T6 carriers. Damn !!!, ppl don't like pets that much. Fix it to where they don't pop like a bubble and then, maybe I might give all this a second look.

    I've been waiting for this one as I LOVE my Romulan T5U version. And FINALLY a KDF flight-deck Raptor!

    I would have said yay another raptor woopty doodah but this one has a hangar on it!

    Hopefully they come out with some kind of content soon that can help bring me out of this burnt out state on grindfests to be more active in the game again lol.

    Maybe fix the game first ? You know...., Just a thought. Why buy ships when it lags like hell for many people ? Sure you might say designers don't have input in that area but that's a lie ! Someone has to code the abilites and special traits etc ? Right ? Then fix the ones we already have that create the lag please ! This is now becoming a bit of a kick in the face !

    I fully expect this post to be deleted. I expect nothing more.

    Shame on you.... Simply shame on you....

    Remember when they said that T5 ships wouldn't be obsolete? Why would I want to buy an upgrade for a T5 ship, only to watch the developers put out a T6 version, which I would have to buy?

    WHEN THE B****DY F**KING HELL ARE YOU BUNCH OF DUMB A**ES GOING TO F**KING ADD SCIENCE SHIPS FOR F**K SAKE?! HOW MANY TIMES ARE PEOPLE GOING TO GET ON THESE FORUMS ASKING FOR F**KING SCIENCE SHIPS FOR YOU TO BUST OUT MORE OF THESE CRUISER AND ESCORT BULLS**T?!

    Let me use caps, maybe then the Dev team will understand, hopefully.
    We need f**king T6 Science ships with 1 hanger bay also, God damn why the hell are you so obsessed with all these cruisers and escorts? S**t this is getting so freaking annoying, at least give us some Science carriers or something!

    I don't understand what both of your problem is, it only takes seconds to TRIBBLE out more pets. What the hell you want, invincible pets now?

    Please.

    ^ This, all freaking this.
    If you are going to add escorts, at least revamp the ones you already have, especially the amazing MVAC, which at this point is nothing but pure TRIBBLE compared to all these new ships coming out.

    My only complaint, one hangar bay. Come on carriers should have two hangar bays
    Oh you want carrier escorts now?.. Yeah dream on, escorts do enough damage as it is, don't need another hanger bay to make them just x2 as annoying.

    Like others, there are other ships I would much rather see. They look nice though but I am not interested. T6 Ambassador, BoP, Vo'Quv, and Vesta are my top 3 wants right now for C-Store ships and T6 Temporal vessels for lock box ships are my top 3 wants as well.

    Does Destabilized Tachyon Emitters universal console have a passive ability like most of the T6 consoles, or only the active click power?

    While an updated heavy escort is nice where is the Romulan Carrier we were promised?
    And while you're at it make it so that all Romulan hanger pets can be used on Romulan ships.

    First let me say the Alita looks downright amazing, may grab it some day. Probably one of the ships now with the widest selection of parts to kitbash. I can't wait to see what the 2pc and 3pc set stuff is.

    Still for access to my money instantly, heed the wish list in my signature.
    Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

    Two things i'd like to know:
    1. When will they be released ( i already checked the c-store and they're not available yet)
    2. Can the Klingon version use the B'rel pets? ​​

    1. Most likely Thursday. Usually stuff is released the following Thursday after it's announced.
    2. Nope. The B'rel, B'Rotlh, and Qaw'Dun hangar pets can only be equipped on Vo'quv carriers.
  • farmallmfarmallm Member Posts: 4,630 Arc User
    Looks very nice. I'm sure some will buy them and use them. I won't since I have the carriers I want. Other than the Jem Dread still on my list to grab.

    While the news post says they are available, I don't see them in the store. When will they become available for purchase?

    Although i'd have preferred a Tier 6 science ship hint hint the Nebula and something for a Rom or Kdf science character with an actual Command rank science boff station so you know, a Rom/Kdf science toon can actually play as a science toon in space. The Akira is one of my favourite ship designs in Trek, Galaxy/Nebula/Akira, So sad as it will be to park my T5u Akira i will be getting the Tier 6 version and using the Akira skin on it.

    I'm pleased to announce our latest line of Starships! Introducing our new Tier 6 Heavy Escort Carrier starships!

    Learn more about the Alita, the Qa'Tel and the Jhu'ael here.

    Look at all the cannons sticking out on that sucker (The Alita class). Makes me wonder if its a 5/3 weapon layout. (probably not but, I can dream can't I).

    Hey cryptic, when the Marauder T6 ?, stay indebted to the fleet version, you do the same again?

    Is the singularity beam of the new Ark'if going to be included? and will it be working as intended? or just like the old one? (i mean i hope you guys fixed it before copy/pasted it in the new version..).

    And i really shocked.. with the new Coordinated Assault trait.. most of the starfleet pets use beams... and the heavy escort is most fited for using cannons... (and thats what i was thinking off) i dont get it lol.

    ... and are you trying to TRIBBLE us cannon users again with the heavy escorts without even fixing the lag and skills going off or just not responding... sigh...

    Wow, that Akira/Alita looks mean! And the shiny trim on the side is just icing on the cake. This T6 visual update is miles above the original Akira model they have. I hope they'll also eventually update the older models though. They are in desperate need of a "refit".

    Its been such a long time I can't remember what the original even looks like. Seems like I bought one for the point defense thinga majigi. It eat those borg torps for breakfast. Back when those torps had adopted the name, Green Flash of Death. You seen a green flash and then you were dead. Unless you had a PD system. Then you died 30 seconds later when your PDS was on CD and the borg launched another torp. Good times, Good times.

    Its just you...

    But a Raptor?? oh come on cryptic.. i know you need to include a ship that fits in the category of heavy escort.. but.. omg.. give us something more like a refit of the Vo'quh lol.

    STFU !!! I didn't say anthing about invincability. Just that they don't pop like a zit as soon as they are launched. I've seen ppl Kill pets faster than they could be launched. On second thought maybe they should have a 3 second invincability when launched. That might at least keep your ship from getting the Warp core breech backlash.

    P.S. You owe 5 dolla to the swear jar. I didn't count the word hell or bloody. YW

    All I care about is the BOff layout. If it passes inspection I'll be getting at least one.

    That said, pet AI needs a serious and considered overhaul. As do carrier commands.

    Knowing cryptic im pretty sure they will add 50k hull points to the pets and thats call a day.

    More ships, eh? Hmm...

    Most of my 20 characters are all pretty set for T6 ships. The only holdouts are characters that are still in their T5U/Fleet versions of the following:
    • Vesta
    • D'Kyr
    • Norgh
    • VoQuv
    • Recluse
    • Wells
    • Khnial

    When you release T6 versions of those, I'll probably* buy 'em.

    I may also consider a good, long-overdue, T6 Science ship for Romulans and Klingons.

    Otherwise, I think I'm done with ships.

    * I say probably, because I didn't upgrade my D'deridex-flying Rom to a D'Khellra because I didn't think the new ship was worthwhile. So if you offer poorly-stat'd ships like that, I'll pass again/still.

    :smile:

    I cannae wait tae get me hands on a T6 Scimitard! When that ship is released, we will know the final days are upon us. :D
  • lordgyorlordgyor Member Posts: 2,820 Arc User
    Okay what sort of BOFF layout would be best?
  • lordgyorlordgyor Member Posts: 2,820 Arc User
    Pets with beams and cannons will have an advantage.

    Someone called this coming when the T6 Battlecruisers were released, I think, who was it?

    Just assume at this point that any ship with a Retrofit/Refit will get a T6 version. No point in guessing.

    I'm not spending any more (real) money on the game until the T6 Defiant comes out.

    Someone's being Defiant! :wink:
