    So the WizKids one is an update of the standard Sovereign skin, while this is a new design.

    It's not bad, and the trait is interesting, but it's too Engie heavy for me. If the Lt engie was Science instead, it would be perfect. At least it can use the all important OSS III, but as it is you're stuck going with Science in the Lt commander uni slot...or not having Science at all.

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    Just a heads-up, the Fleet Intel Assault Cruiser is currently not available. As of right now only the Fleet Command Assault Cruiser can actually be purchased.

    Hopefully this gets resolved soon!

    Not sure I'm thrilled with 2500z + 500z + must be in a fleet over just plain 3000z, but eh. Extra admiralty card for your trouble I suppose.

    If there's a more streamlined alternative for the nacelles; Sold! (Although Cara has literally just got her butt in the command chair of a Guardian... Now if only this could load cannons, then I would definitely be interested (well, even more than I already am :D ) Cara may be an engineer by career path, but her crew is primarily tactical officers who wear purple undies and know some tricks ;)

    Well... it should have access to all previous Sovereign variant parts so... yea. It should be abel to have more streamlined nacelles like those off the Sovereign itself, or even the Regent.

    Regent or Imperial nacelles, or even the classic Sovereign ones. I can't remember what the Noble or the other free one even look like though.​​

    I kinda like the beefier nacelles on the Noble over the Majestic, but I think I'll stick with the classic Sovy when I get her.

    Those are like command battlecruiser beefy nacelles, interesting look for the intel variant. :p

    That said, I really like the way the deflector dish is recessed in the secondary hull at the same time.

    Stats - definitely a Starfleet T6 cruiser, yep. Doesn't really look bad, the trait's not bad, and a battle cloaking Enterprise-E sounds hilarious

    "Fleet" not the ZEN-Store-variant ;)

    I can confirm this too.

    I like the Monarch and that's about as far as my love for Cryptic's old cruisers go. Well, depending on what the Nomad and Imperial count as.

    Oh, the Typhoon obviously, but that's an exception.​​

    Nice looking ship overall, but Jesus H Christ on a bicycle those nacelles are hideous.

    Not a problem though, the Regent ones should fit nicely.
  • steaensteaen Member Posts: 646 Arc User
    Hopefully there will be a Fleet Archon at some stage soon.

    Guys there seems to be some confusion.

    The version in the C store is the T6 Archon Intel Cruiser, the version in the fleet supplies is the Fleet Command Assault Cruiser [T6]. Currently there is no Fleet version of the Archon, if you try to upgrade your Archon from the C store it asks for 5 fleet ship modules and you can see the specialisation seat is COMMAND not Intel.

    I have bought the C store ship and it is most definitely an Intel ship!

    I think you don't get it...there is no fleet version right now, dispite being featured on the info page arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10266883-archon-class-assault-cruiser

    yes the fleet command ship is there, as it should...but the advertised fleet intel is not yet there.

    and definately OSS3

    It's out now? No waiting? Great! Hope that Fleet variant gets fixed and added in soon.

    I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get refits of the Noble and Majestic the way the other Defiant variants got refits. Those models are heavily outdated, but it's fine. We still got the actual Sovereign model revamp and finally... T6. I'm happy overall.

    here it say that it as a lt com universal intel officer and at the c-store it says lt com universal command so were's the error?

    sory not the c-store it's in the ship yard for a T-6 fleet ship
  • talonxvtalonxv Member Posts: 4,257 Arc User
    Kinda weird. Bit cheap for a tier 6 cruiser, same cost as the Regent. Maybe PWE will lower the costs of tier 6 ships now?

    Is the price a bug or did they reduce the price for T6 ships?
    I though tthe regular price was 3000z

    Usually when there is a sale, its usual price, strike off, then discounted price.
    Is 2500z the introductory price before it reverts to 3000z or is it the normal price?

    apparently they forgot to put the fleet intel version in the fleet ship yard selection...there should be 2 fleet versions there...one command for 5 fleet ship modules and one with intel.
    Otherwise the info page has faulty information...which is also unlikely because then the c-store intel version should offer the discount for the current fleet command version.

    So, I'd say, somebody forgot to put both versions into the fleet yards store.

    also, the info for the wizkid command assault cruiser is worng...it is called "command" assault cruiser but the info sheet says it has an intel seat...doubt that, given the name.

    in other words, I see 2 mistakes with this release: they forgot to implement the fleet Intel ship...and the information for the command assault cruiser [T6] on the info page is incorrect.

    How did everybody know it was going to be called Archon before it was released?
