    I didn't expect the Guramba and Ha'apax to be made analogs of the Galaxy-X, but I guess I can't complain about a huge ship like the Ha'apax getting a hangar bay. They all look very nice!

    The Galaxy-X remaster is also gorgeous, and finally a Monarch skin!

    Yes! My Nausicaan thanks you all - this is a great day for Non-Klingon KDF characters; I can only hope that soon we'll see T6 Orion and Gorn ships as well...

    I guess I will have to wait until I see it in-game to see the top of the Gal-X saucer. :(

    Nice work on bringing the ship up to the new version from the Blu-Ray release! I have been looking forward to this for quite some time.

    Here's hoping for a T6 Nebula/Phalanx/Ha'nom pack :grin: and maybe a Heavy Cruiser/Dacoit/Ha'feh flight deck cruiser pack, since the Constellation has all those hangar bays... if the hangar bay is on the Ha'feh part of the T6 Ha'apax model, anyway.

    The Yamato looks to be offering too little to warrant a purchase IMO, but the Siege destroyer may provide the boost to the Gurumba many have been waiting for.

    Who's willing to bet they'll wield command seats?
    Hoping for a nausican fighter to go with the siege destroyer's hangar bay, but that may be too much to ask for.

    Either way, still need to refill dilithium reserves so any purchase will have to wait.​​
    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.

    What a surprise !
  • dawnpromisedawnpromise Member Posts: 57 Arc User
    Im pretty disappointed you guys are still penalizing ships by taking up a console slot. I love my Galaxy X, but forcing me to chose Saucer Sep to make it not maneuver like a truck or the many many other consoles that could be used hurts.

    Why not take the console away and take the lance away when seperated? That would give a 'seige' mode when all together of a sort and till balanced.

    Yamato Dreadnought Cruiser

    The Yamato can use the Galaxy and Monarch costumes for free, and it can use the Venture’s costume if that starship is owned.

    This is a bit ambiguously worded. I assume it means to say that we can use the Galaxy-X costume (ie: 3 nacelles), and NOT the plain vanilla Galaxy costume (ie: 2 nacelles al a Enterprise-D)?

    Query - will the Yamato be able to equip the consoles from the Andromedia? We know it can equip the saucer-sep, but will it be able to utilise the Molecular Cohesion Nullifier Field?
    The T5 dreadnought can use it, so the T6 version definitely can as well.

    The Dreadnought remodel blog shows the new remastered Galaxy, Galaxy Beta and Monarch variants, which are 3-nacelled.

    I hope they tied all of the nacelles together. I hate having that third nacelle being out of place because of the stanchion I pick.
  • alcyoneserenealcyoneserene Member Posts: 2,414 Arc User
    Hoping they are released at a weekend promo price. A few questions for clarification:

    "The Yamato can use the Galaxy and Monarch costumes for free" meaning only the Galaxy, not the Galaxy-X?

    Will the Venture skin will look like the T5 Gal-X Venture skin, and not a basic Venture?

    Will the Yamato allow Antimatter Spread console which will enable it for the Saucer and wide beam phaser lance, as well as the Basic Cloak console?

    Lastly, a comment, in that I hope they will have pilot spec to pave the way for pilot cruisers, but fully expect yet another command station, and that the Supplemental Subsystems console has a secondary toggle to decide when to use it again at 20 counters.

    Oh, yes - I always loved the Ha'apax - the Kara looks like it'll be fun.

    Squeeeee!!!! Could we have a proper science ship for the romulans and klingons ? Maybe with a Gorn look or Orion look ? As for the romulans a Hanom like ship would be terrific. Loved that ship as i was leveling up my sci romulan ;)

    Thank you cryptic for the Nausican love! ;)

    Excellent! My Nausicaan can now have a proper home. =)

    But where is the Javelin? I note the other two have their lances built in. :/
  • welcome2earfwelcome2earf Member Posts: 1,746 Arc User
    So the Garumba - which is a destroyer/escort - has a skin from a slower, larger Dreadnaught?

    /confused...

    i dislike the fact, that the third nacelle in the andromeda-X costume variant is sleeker than the two outer nacelles. its just wrong.

    either adapt all three nacelles to be more sleek/thin, or make the third one like the outer ones. i dont get the point why that third nacelle isnt as broad as the two outer ones. it makes the ship having 2+1 nacelles instead of 3 identical ones.

    (i could understand that if the outer nacelles were irregularly shaped, but basically thats a reason to manually design a third one, but not why this one is sleeker/thinner than the other ones)

    the refit adds a third nacelle, that is the same as the outer ones. its not a "third" new piece, its a copy of the two outer ones.


    to me that fact alone is horribly - cant exactly tell why, but it destroys "symmetry" here (or tri-metry - TRINITY is the word^^)

    Yahyyyy \0/ thank you for providing another opportunity to buy the same ship ... again ... for a higher price .... because we love to pay for the same thing again \0/

    well, the ships have some improvements over passed ships ... ok ...

    a good sale point could be if we could use the "Supplemental Subsystems universal console" on different ships, because it might not fit our playing style, so the appeal to buy this ship so good :(

    Question for @pwlaughingtrendy in you happen to have access to the info:

    Will the Kolasi (T6 Guramba) Siege Destoryer come with it's own new Nausicaan fighters?

    Indeed. The Kolasi comes equipped with Nausicaan Stinger Fighters. Improved versions of these fighters are available in the Dilithium and Fleet stores.

    As long as that's true for the Kolasi, then I'm just that much more likely to get it =)

    BUT WILL THE LANCES HIT?

    Seriously, I can only hope the ability to connect with these lances improves. And that the damage is meaningful.

    The Guramba as I recall has to enter Seige Mode in order to fire it's lance, and it's a transformation where the bow of the ship flips around turns inside out and becomes the aft, and the lance is stowed in the aft section. Kind of like the beak on an Octopus.

    In other words, to quote Barf, "It's not just a spaceship...it's a Transformer!"

    Thank you for your prompt reply and the info!

    You've just made me extremely happy about this, the Guramba has been one of my favorite ships in STO anyway - however attention to details like this introduction of new Nausicaan fighters is something that I happen to appreciate a lot and sheds a very positive light about the entire release in my eyes.

    Thank you for this, you've just sold one Kolasi Siege Destoryer here.

    The face leech transformation is one of the things which give the Gurumba its ominous aura.​​
