Is it just me or is the Vengeance really popular?

Im seeing an awful lot of this ship. Almost every Q and space zone I go to seems to have at least one of them. In fact I cant remember ever seeing so many people flying one specific lobi/lockbox ship before

I still think I see more Odysseys then anything else, but the Vengeance is definitely popular. It's probably always going to be popular because frankly.. it's an awesome ship. But right now it's at it's height because it's the 'new shiny' that everyone wants.
I'm sure the hype will eventually die down, but I expect it to remain a popular ship. It's basically the Fed version of the Scimitar which is massively popular.
It's number will eventually decrease but as of now the combo of being a good ship+newest shiny+relatively easy to get make sure it's all over the place and blocking the view of everything else.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
1. Admiral RoboCop's ship
2. Designed by Sherlock Holmes
3. The ship that almost blew away the USS Abominationprise
I might get one someday, for any of these reasons.
That would explain a whole lot about "our" starfleet's behaivor.
they're the "thing" right now, something shinier will come up and people will move onto that...
i say this with full acknowledgement that i want one, i don't care it's KT, it's like the bigger, much uglier brother of my T6 Battlecruiser.
While I have no interest in the Abomination Timeline ships I must admit the thought of a photon torpedo boat broadsiding anyone daft enough to fly along side is very tempting...
I'm thinking a Romulan / Reman in a Tal Shiar Adapted Battlecruiser, disrupting photon, gravimetric photon, Bio-molecular photon and Terran TF photon torpedoes up front, Heavy Bio-molecular Phaser turret, 1-3 Phased Bio-matter turrets / 0-2 photon mines on the rear + CSV + TS + Broadside emitters on whatever survived...
Yeah, sometimes I see a ton of them, sometimes hardly any. One thing I will say for STO is that there is no lack of diversity in ships available. Some will always be more popular, but the sheer number of available ships usually keeps the field quite diverse.
I see a bunch of them in sector space, but hardly ever see them in queues.
That's probably true for some, but to be honest.. both are highly over rated. The console is cool, but it really is little more then a neat little gimmick. The broadside volley does a small-medium amount of damage with a pretty long cooldown. The best part of the console is the cooldown reduction to captain skills. The trait is also incredibly over rated because it's yet another Cat 1 damage boost, most people already have so much boost just from tactical consoles alone that the trait provides little to nothing. I don't even use it myself.
I have told anyone who asks, if you buy the Vengeance, buy it because you like the Vengeance. If you just want power and want to kill things fast.. buy an Arbiter. It's cheaper and it's an account unlock with a better trait and console. The Vengeance, set up right can equal or exceed the Arbiter but only by a very small amount. The Arbiter is cheaper and is account wide.
The best reason to buy The Vengeance is because you simply like the ship and want to fly one. At least in my personal opinion.
^ This. Totally this.
So I'm not the only one who saw this when they released the ship...
Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.
The Vengeance *is* a canon ship. Period.
Comon CBS, january can't come soon enough...
Just release some ship footage plz and no more JJ for me...
I wish you very good luck, sir. I got the Connie and the D4x pretty quickly, but the T'Laru... well, either the lockboxes decided I had enough luck for a lifetime or my romulan character is under a spell. 100+ boxes opened, everything but the ship in there
They still keep showing up here and there. Dominion has a strong fanboy-fellowship.
this, a million times this.
It's a full-feature Intel Dreadnought Cruiser...
...which makes ideal use of the Cmdr Eng/Intel by replacing TRIBBLE Cmdr Eng options with awesome Cmdr Intel
...and has Gather Intel mechanics
...and has a Cloak
...and has a hangar unique pets
...and has a decent Starship Trait/Console
It has its own subset of fans...
...that really liked the more action-y version of Star Trek
...or at least the ship design
...which looks more "Intel" than "Flattened Tron" when compared to the C-Store Intel Ships
...yet can still be used as a bottle opener, and equip the Aegis Shield
It's cheaper than the KT Constitution...
...because you can purchase it directly for Lobi
...even if you don't win a KT Constitution gambling on KT Lock Boxes
...which you shouldn't be doing, since you can actually choose your rewards from the Infinity Lock Box
...and the KT Constitution is a Heavy Command Cruiser, rather than Intel
...though if you're a KT fan, you can't lord your "T6 Connie" over the TOS fans (that wanted one so badly it became a FCT)
The KT-lockbox-Contents are NOT in the Infinity-lockboxes. They will be added in when the NEXT Infinity-lockbox hits and will only be in those boxes acquired after their release. So the current Infinity-Lockbox only contains everything that was before the Na'Kuhl-lockbox-Contents.
Oh... you're darn right there. Thanks for pointing it out
