    Shwew this got to 23 pages quick. If someone hasn't mentioned it Cryptic once responded in some article or something that a separate tier 5 Exeter wouldn't happen.

    I want want you to try to read what I'm about to say very carefully. Why? Because I have chosen these specific words very carefully. Ready? Here goes:

    No DEV(key word) has EVER(key word) told us that CBS(key word) said they cannot make an end game Excalibur(key word). Now, let's break it down:

    1) No DEV(key word)

    2) has EVER(key word) told us

    3) that CBS(key word) said

    4) that they cannot make an end game Excalibur(key word)

    So, I don't really care about what someone supposedly mentioned somewhere. I am specifically asking if CBS has told them they cannot make an end game Excalibur. If so, that's fine. If not, then that is what I am asking for.

    I just said that Cryptic said that the pure exeter/whatever wasn't going to happen, not anything about CBS. Trust me there is nothing wrong in asking. I'm just trying to say that the connie is the elephant in the class_room when it comes to your problems.

    If you have a specific quote in mind, just post a link and we can discuss it. Thanks.

    While I'm more fond of the Exeter-class (and would prefer it as a T6 ship) over the Excalibur, I'd support it anyway because they're both cool ships.

    Has any else noticed the constatlation has a TOS /TNG/ 2410 And a temprol version?

    I have!

    But I also want to take a moment in this thread to point out something amazing about the new expansion:

    T6 Daedalus.

    If the dev tweet is on point and factual (and no reason to think it isn't), this expansion will allow some players (maybe JUST the temporal faction, maybe more, no real deatails on that yet), but SOME players will be able to put their Daedalus skin on their T6 Nautilis.

    I am very excited about this. This is something I've asked for a bunch of times.

    However, I also want this to really sink in. Let it flow over all of us. Let the significance really take root.

    The Daedalus. It's old. It's small. It's not powerful. It's very dated. And yet going by the dev tweet, it seems I will be able to fly it at Tier 6 in some way shape or form!

    Can we please now drop all of those arguments/posts/debates about ship size, ship age and ship power levels?

    No, they won't be dropped. But, this does gives us even more ammunition to destroy those arguments going forward.

    I was thinking that. The daed is older than the connie. So theres no reson yo de y an excaliber ect
  • kodachikunokodachikuno Member Posts: 6,020 Arc User1
    pity nagus managed to get himself banned...

    The TOS skins on T6 ships definitely gives us a measure of hope, but first we need a t6 vessel thats comparable. Excalibur would be ideal, but I don't see this(or any other remotely t6 connie thing) being revealed for weeks or months.

    Meh...
    Time to move on...

    Perhaps now we'll see both a T-6 Connie and a T-6 Excalibur.

    Heh...
    I highly doubt that the Klingon and Romulan players will be completely left out of this expansion.
    Time could prove me wrong, but I believe you'll get a bit of fun from it also... eventually.

    The topic is kinda dead already. Besides... I was being inclusive in having the Klingon ship named so that there was one of each.

    *remembers all the other argument threads in favor of the subject*

    Um... it is kind of a dead horse. Been around long enough to see many of these threads.

    For all intents and purposes, the Excalibur (and Exeter) are considered Connies, as they are members of the Connie line. As much as I would love to see them at endgame... I don't see it happening.

    IMHO...this is one of the postings that gave ideas to DEVs to dwell more in the AOY storyline. I guess some marketing guru added the 50th anniversary and these posts...then the rest is history.

    Who wants to play in a 50 year old idea? I mean there are TANKs online or other similar games to revive nostalgia for that market. Some of us were not even quite here yet.

    I guess STO is now being called TOS online for the next few years until something better comes around.

    Thanks OLD dudes for coming up with excellent ideas and making this a bit boring for some of us (speaking just for myself). The Temporal ships are great but the story arcs and the other fossilized ships not really.​​

    The difference is that this and other similar threads over the last three months or more, HAVN'T been shut down or discouraged.
    (despite the recent unfortunate event to this threads originator)

    I'm in the opposite camp from you, I think this very much means that the topic at hand is going to happen in some way, shape or form in the near future.

    That and the fact that They just announced a Classic Trek Expansion.

    Aside from being completely offtopic, I'm not old, 38 and I want to play the hell out of the TOS stuff coming up. Theres also a poll on this forum showing a rather overwhelming number of 'I want to play this' votes.

    Well until 5/5 none of us expected to see a TOS themed expansion/focus for STO and that was a "dead horse" too. It really isn't much of a leap to just give the Excalibur a t6 overhaul and lock out the old bits n bobs for skin options. Its not a connie, sure its been given "classic" lines and she's newer than the Galaxy Class, which has a couple t6 versions. Toss on top the comment about TOS skins on the t6 versions and this dead horse is lookin far healthier than it was 23 pages ago.

    Tranya

    1 oz Coconut Rum (Malibu probably works best)
    1 oz Peachtree Schnapps
    .25 oz Amaretto
    2 oz Cranberry Juice
    2 oz Pineapple Juice
    Mix the Coco Rum, the Peach Schnapps, Cranberry and Pineapple Juices, over ice. Finally, float the Amaretto on the top and enjoy!

    you were saying? now please quit with the off topic posts
