No Facilities on the Amarie Bridge

So, after all that effort put in to designing a unique interior (and it's a whopper) for a bridge that hardly anyone will see, the devs forgot to include the mail, bank and exchange terminals. You know, one of the main selling points of the ship.
I try to give those guys the benefit of the doubt, I really do, but this is just the latest in a long string of things released broken/incomplete. With all due respect to the powers that be, do you even have QA people at Cryptic?
It is a nice bridge though, I just wish the same amount of effort went into other ships... like the ones we pay real money for.
P.S. Think about including a tailor next time; that's something that might make me seriously consider a replacement for my Cell ship.

From what I saw, I wasn't all that impressed, tbh. The blog image looked like a Tuffli bridge of some sort (and I had figured they probably slapped some lame corridor to that). Didn't mind that one 'Minmatar' design, btw, but I was hoping for something more Intrepid style and detail.
The interior is huge compared to other one-offs.
The bridge has an account bank and small-craft selector. Unlike the SCS you can't select from all of your owned ships.
The interior has some new textures and sounds and the lighting is nicely done. I expect we'll see these filter down to the foundry eventually.
There's also a sickbay, but the doctor is just for show; you can't heal injuries here.
There's a bar too! But as with the doctor the bartender's job is just to stand there and look pretty.
The cargo bay covers two levels and there's a Ferengi trader with the usual DOFF assignments.
Here's the quartermaster who, despite what the announcement says, isn't a vendor.
Finally we have the love den/engine room, which nicely illustrates how the Korath uniform was broken in Lighting 2.0, as well as deterring any pesky Reman saboteurs.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
I would imagine that the R&D packs bring in much, much, much more money than the regular zen store ships.
Yeah, like ppl don't 'pay real money for' R&D ships. :P They usually go for over 1 billion EC, easily.
We'll get this straightened out as quickly as possible. The ships is definitely intended to have access to these, and more. Pretty much whatever is on the Tuffli interior.

Well. You gotta have SOME reason to visit a Starbase...

Tuffli had one, though. Just sayin'.
So does the SCS. However, those are lightly armed freighters, not proper warships. My guess is that to prevent a ship from being a jack of all trades, they take some stuff away while adding others. Of course, no ship will ever be a top end, no-need-to-go-to-ESD/FC/NR ship because none have ship requisitions or a tailor.
That said, I do want a full-fledged ship selector.

which is why i am happy to have an account unlocked Nandi it is always worthwhile to have one on standby for ones shopping and profit making needs
Agreed. When any of my new toons reaches lvl 40 they immediately get and keep their Nandis. Some of them even fly them for awhile.
I think the Nandi is my favorite ship for my toons who don't have a Tuffli. And out of about 14, only three have Tufflis, the rest get Nandis for emergency service ships.
The reason I like the Nandi over the Tuffli is that it can also be used as a warship and the Tuffli is a freighter. Good for emergency services and some RP time.

This made me laugh. I apologize.
I also despise the Ferengi, even though I like that ship. Ferengi for the most part as a species is not very likable.
if it makes you feel better, I know your pain, I'm missing only two event ships the Samsar and the Nandi, and I have the command 3 pack for my kdf characters.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Two of my other Characters have one Tuffli and a SCS. I love those for Commodity Purchases for other Characters.

One good thing about Ferengi is that, as a racial trait, they get a discount on EC purchases from commodity stores.
Tell me about it. I've always loved the design of the D'kora, and having those extras definitely helps.
What also helps is that, when properly equipped, a D'kora is an absolute beast in combat.
So yeah, when I get a T5 ship pack from the Infinity Lockbox, I get a D'kora nine times out if ten.

I don't buy commodities from commodity stores. I buy them from my vendor on my Tuffli and shunt them to whoever needs them. Or I use my replicator. More expensive, yes, but I don't buy that many at a time, or I already have some from loot critters when I'm playing in DSEs.
But I will admit that I slot that Ferengi DOFF that awards GPL for kills.
*ears perk up*

not actually but so useful... on the othe hand GPL.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Also... I thought you could change ships without using the ship selector NPC now?
My character Tsin'xing
You can via the UI in space, but you still need a ship selector if you want to equip it with stuff you may have on another ship or in the bank. Or at least be in a place with available bank access.
