Carrier could be interesting if it has good stats...alien carriers may be the only way the RR/KDF will ever see a carrier.
Somewhere out there, there are KT T'laru Intel Carrier Warbird's crying that they feel unloved. Obviously you mean a C-store account unlock ship for Klingons and Romulans though.
I believe the Breen carrier was two or three events ago, and the Jupiter might have been the last actual c-store carrier to be released. I am hoping the next design a ship contest is either a science or escort ship even a cruiser or dreadnought would be fun.
Another year, another stupid Vogon ship that will get banked without even opening it. Another year without what so many of us truly want, a T6 RISAN CORVETTE!
Yeah, the Vorgon ships just don't excite me. The Risian and Ferengi ships were better visually. Vorgon's never had a canon ship so there's no 'I'm flying the ship I like from ____" emotion to make you like the ships. So another: fly, unlock trait, toss in trash ship
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
Yeah though i feel the same for the Risan ships as well, since honestly outside of feeling like something a luxury resort might commission, it falls into that same non-canon or non-linked area. An well I never honestly found the Ferengi, or their ships that interesting.
Though in truth looking at how the Vorgon look, and how they dress I can see how a sleek almost fluid-like design would make sense for them. I am actually hoping that we see more from the Vorgon race in the future both as villians, and as even short term allies possibly. Even in the episode during TNG they take part in they do not seem overtly hostile compared to other races.
I'm surprised there's so much support for the Vogon ship, I never see the other one in play and the Risan Corvette in particular was pretty well loved until T6 made it obsolete. I truly want a new Corvette, been wanting one for years now and have been disappointed every year now since they switched away from Risan ships to first Ferengi and now Vogon.
It's going to be fun to spam Hurricanes. Graphic cards, gets ready to turn up the heat! LOL
Don't worry, Qua. There's nowhere you can actually use your boffs anyway.
Indeed, let's just forget about kobali prime among others.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
If the frigates are tied into a previous event then it'll not be as good of a carrier as it might be.
If there are frigates at all, they will almost certainly be tied to owning the vorgon escort from last year.
I'm wondering if the summer event will also provide current hangar pets with engines suitable for the job instead of the clockwork motors they have the now.
Pets have always lagged 20km behind players ships (or just not follow you at all, during some periods). If they haven't fixed that to market expensive lockbox and C-Store carriers, they're not likely to fix it for a free one either.

I do not recall the Risians having a canon ship. Then again it has been a long time since I have watched any Star Trek episode. I think I stopped watching Star Trek TV series after Voyager season 4.
Like some others around here, I like to collect the event ships. I even fly them for awhile and I still like some of them.
Some of my captains even use the corvette for their 'personal' ship and have painted them accordingly. Great for RP. If a T6 'vette came out, I'd certainly 'Fly High' for it. That is a fun little ship and I even see them once in awhile in RA instances or DSEs on occasion. I've even flown mine into DSEs.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.

I've flown every event ship except the Plesh Brek. they all have their uses.
Does this mean that things such as Graviton Spike are not available as kit modules this time round? I could do with getting this for my tac officer. As useful as it might be equipped on my away team tac boff, it'll be far more devastating in his own hands when buffs are stacked.

I'll admit I was ready to try the Corvette again in the Tier 6 form, but last year's escort was a pretty good little ship. I flew it on my "event ship" character until the Christmas event.
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.

Existing summer event things can be bought right now:
Character status, reputation, store, summer event
Summer stuff is sold for lohlunat favors, kit modules for captains cost 1000 favors, are mk 12 epic and can be upgraded to mk 14. Favors are available on the exchange and available after doing mini-games during the event.

Lifer since start and I didn't know this. Lol. Ty for the heads-up
Yeah, so long as you have the Event's *currency* you can 'buy' from the Winter or Summer store anytime of year. I've gotten the Breen warp core several times when I was completing the set on some of my captains.

I too am very meh to the point of completely not bothering with this summer event, continuing the trend of not bothering with the last 3 either.
If / When T6 Corvette comes out ill go back to risa and grind my three flights a day, but there is literally nothing there that has any appeal to me whatsoever any more.
And no, I don't care about the admiralty card either because I don't bother with that any more either
I cannot tell you how enthused I am that there is not another Risan ship for this event. For one, I LOVE the Vorgon design, and another free account wide carrier is more than welcome.

May I ask what you have against the Risan ships? I remind you this is the third year in a row we won't have Risan ships from... Risa, of all places. Gee, who thought THAT made sense, Risan ships from Risa? What will they think of next? Klingon ships in the KDF? Obviously we cannot abide that kind of logical thinking in this game!
In all seriousness, if you are one of those who likes the Vogon ships or carriers or both, more power to you. But I don't think it's at all out of line for those people who have asked for several years now to get T6 Risan ships, at least the Corvette, to be disappointed to once again not get what we wish for.
I still think the Risan Corvette is THE iconic Risan vessel and is a uniquely fun ship well deserving of the love it has among the fanbase. I'd be thrilled if a T6 version (with full Pilot stuffs including maneuvers, HELL YEAH!) were a permanent feature like the floaters and powerboards with just a new visual every year. They could also offer a second ship if they wish, like the Vogon or other Risan designs or whatever else their heart desires, but Risa just isn't the same without that Corvette in the water inviting players to indulge in the most fun ship in the game to fly.
The only thing I have against them, is other people want them so bad... and we already had a chance to get it, it'd be the same ship you got. Cryptic offers you a free ship, and you people can't do anything but whine about it not being the one YOU wanted, they could charge you $30 for it, or give you a .05% chance to get one from a box. Risan ships are out of place, they don't belong to any current or previous content, and likely no future content. Vorgon ships on the other hand do. A carrier is good, we haven't had one in almost 3 years. Last thing we need is yet ANOTHER escort in the the game, we need variety, and as I said, another universal account wide carrier, I'm down for that. I wouldn't complain if it was a Risan Carrier, or a Risan Dreadnought, I would complain if it was a remake, slightly altered re-skin of a previously released ship. I have no desire to earn the same ship twice.
Really though, why do you need a T6 Risan Corvette? You already have one, it's just labeled T5-U. It wouldn't be any different from the one you have with the exception of a passive on a probably useless console, and a more than likely, useless trait, and maybe a slight increase to hull and shield.
Quite like the stats it has, and find the trait interesting, and might even be useful, with the console being also quite fun sounding. Though that frigate they get might be fun, though not sure if it uses the same model as the vorgon heavy escort, but if not I would love to get it to use on my heavy escort. It would be fun if you could buy a hanger variant of the vorgon heavy escort, but also at a discount if you own the heavy escort from the event.

No, this past Winter Event ship was the Chel Boalg warship. It was the Winter Event before where we got the Rezreth Dreadnought, which has one hangar.

A Risan focus would be nice.

Stats will be released a day or two before the event starts.
