I wonder if the reason the ship hasn't popped yet is because they are taking *some* of the suggestions on board. Maybe it was due to drop with the pre Thanksgiving update but Cryptic have held back after seeing the voracity of the posts concerning the ship. They tweaked the Hestia post release, maybe they've adopted a similar policy here and have gone quiet because they are taking time to look at ways of keeping people with differing views on board.

Or maybe they just planned to release it as a form of christmas present all along. Or maybe they are hastily adding a klingon/romulan counterpart due to Trendy's efforts. Either way, I wouldn't hold my breath - the "contents of this post are subject to change" clause usually doesn't mean "if you complain, we'll change it" but "if we change it, you can't complain"

As long as it doesn't end up being the reward ship for the winter event...

Tell you what... if they did release it (with 2 faction equivalent ships) as the Christmas obtainable... that would shut some of the gripers up. Not that they will... I'm just saying if they did it would literally be a case of "it's free it costs you nothing but your time to get... take it or leave it, now stop harping on about it".
The rumor has it it's going to be breen Rezreth (a speculation based on it's presence in the admiralty system, with no ship icon released yet)... One thing's for sure: If cryptic ever releases anything remotely similar as a c-store ship, there will be tons of people complaining that it's not as good as this thing
As long as it doesn't end up being the reward ship for the winter event...
Still no info on that ship, either??
That could well be the case though.
Its not. Its already been shown that its going to be available in the C-Store and there will be a fleet version. Or did you guys not read the jupiter blogs like at all?
Ships like this really make me wish there was a way you could try a ship before you buy it. I don't know if I'd like it or not. I like carriers, but I hate science ships.

They should add more "shakedown" missions like the Odyssey/Bortas'qu Class had. It gives us a good look at the functionality and also gives us a guideline for a basic preliminary build for the ship as well. It doesn't even need to have dialogue or cutscenes, just the ability to spawn any type of enemy to fight against and maybe a "maneuvering course" to test its maneuverability

Also the Admiralty card for the Rezreth is an Eng focused card. Thus it seems that the Rezreth will have Comm Eng. Don't know much more really.

Isn't it a little funny that all of these new ships seem to be growing in size? Jupiter is confirmed at 1466 meters, and the Rezreth sits comfortably at about 1700 m long. What's next? The Tholian Tarantula?

Temporal Dreadnought in an R&D promotional lockbox (I wish it would be a regular lockbox but man that thing will be a monster).
Yes I know it's only appeared as an NPC in the battle for DS9 but it has been pictured on test servers inside the Dyson Sphere.
As long as it doesn't end up being the reward ship for the winter event...
Still no info on that ship, either??
That could well be the case though.
Besides the fact that they already told us what kind of ship it is and how to get it, it's a Federation vessel, they won't use a faction specific design as an event ship.

Yeah, I hadn't thought that through. What I'd like to emphasize though is that Trendy tweeted there is a good reason for the delayed release of this ship, and there is an ongoing speculation about that reason, yes?
other than the pattern, this ship has zero customization options...????really?.....we had 8 Designs, there was some serious discussion about those designs, likes and dislikes and so on, and now there are ZERO parts for customizations?.....omg allready starting to regret the buy, seriously wtf.......
EDIT: And whats Wrong with the Pets???
According to your Website:
Elite Callisto Light Escort
Availability: Dilithium Store
Weapons:
1x Quad Phaser Cannons (Fore)
1x Dual Heavy Phaser Cannons (Fore)
1x Photon Torpedo Launcher (Fore)
2x Phaser Turrets (Aft)
Abilities:
Torpedo: High Yield III
Cannon: Scatter Volley II
Scratch the Paint
Lock Trajectory I
But what we have in Game is, an additional SINGLE Cannon on the Front and the Second Turret Removed?
Also High Yield II instead of the High Yield III????
I really hope that this was an Mistake and not a last Minute Nerf
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event and mission rewards!!
I am absolutely PISSED OFF that the Callisto Light Escorts are smaller than a damn runabout, they are the same damn size as the delta flyers with twice the HP and firepower?!?!! WTF!? I was so excited at the idea of having real raiders with a federation ship that I went all out, jumped in and bought the Elite Callisto Light Escort. Just to quickly realize my mistake in wasting 25 dollars; 200,000 fleet credits; and 64,000 Dilithium. I should have looked at other players first before letting Cryptic do this again. Really, smaller than a runabout, does anyone at Cryptic know how immersion works? Why would a ship only be able to launch 2 smaller ships per bay if it can already launch 4 larger ships from the same bay?
So now that you guys have your hands on this ship, what kinds of builds are you all using with this? Because I just don't see how this ship works with that boff layout.

Cryptic has a funny way to doing things, don't they?
Well as I said before, would have bought it, but its silly that all the other designs aren't like dif costume pieces or something, specially since the alpha omega kit bash worked so much better...
sure hope we have 100% happy Jupiter customers now..

Daul Antiproton beams Fore, two Omni Antiproton and one Kinetic beam Aft. Haven't figured out the pets yet for I do have a few different Ultra Rare's but just got the Rare Light Escorts loaded right now. Takes care of them Borg but Traits for myself and my crew are making a difference. Its a Sci Carrier for sure.
Oh, for the record, Im very happy with this even with not able to change the looks other than colors, hope the Romulan and Klingons look as good as this.
have to say that the ship ingame looks much better than 2D , the broomsticks dont bother much either,
it seem to be very good model/designed.
Visually it looks very good
But from engineering part it just dont make sense, all the other aliens ships have plates protecting their broomsticks..

Usually they exclude new stuff from sales, but hey, I won't complain, although I have tons of other stuff I want too.
Well I suppose they just thought "it's only 100 less zen than otherwise let's do it"
