Well wow, the Cat is at it again. Well done Thomas Marrone, I hope you don't get overworked (would be nice seeing some KDF reskins now, though...).

I absolutely love the updates! Great job! The really disappointing part is, I won't be able to enjoy them. The Temporal Light Cruiser is just unobtainable for me. I simply can't afford the ridiculousness wanted for one of those as a single character unlock. However, i would like to offer up a suggestion to those of us tat would really like to have these ships as T6 options and account wide unlocks. How about releasing C-Store versions with a 4 by 4 weapons layout with a slightly different console layout and console? This way, more people can appreciate the hard work that was done to update these models and enjoy these ships.
Nice unexpected & generous options too for the T6 Miranda.
That just makes buying a fleet version of the T6 Miranda that much more enticing.
It is a shame they didn't offer anything at all for the KDF & Rom equivalents like more options &/or visuals, but I still think that QeHpu' is an amazing looking design.
Yahoo for the T6 Temporal Light Cruiser owners too I guess since the visuals look good I guess it does pay to be a 1%-er.
This news blog post made me SO happy. I want to kiss the members of ship team ... but I won't, because I don't want to frighten or traumatize them and risk stopping them from making more awesome ship skins like these.
I'm one of those weirdos who loves the look of the Soyuz even though it was just a kitbash for a single episode. I love the look of the Soyuz so much that I watch "Cause and Effect" at least once a month just so I can spend time looking at that ship.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
While I agree that a C-Store T6 Connie option would be great, I think everyone needs to keep their expectations low. Cryptic has never released a ship with both C-Store and gamble T6 variants, so the odds are very low. Further, if they DO release a C-Store variant (big if) they will definitely make sure the gamble version is more desirable stats wise. I DO think there's room for a C-Store variant, and I personally believe it would enable Cryptic to truly maximize all available profits from this insanely popular ship, but I wouldn't hold my breath TBH.
Very cool. I just wish there was more content to use low-tier ships in. Sometimes it's fun to fit out a low-tier ship with Mk XIV hardware and do some of the easier endgame content. Alpha and Beta Quadrant deep space encounters, for instance, or easier queues. Once a team I was on even managed to get through the Procyon V STF with nothing but NX's, Mirandas, Oberths and T1 Connies.
Personally, I like the idea of tier-limited queues, similar to small-craft missions but limited to a maximum of T2 or T3 or something (though still limited to level 50+ so you could use high-level hardware). They'd be a good excuse to actually get some use out of our lower-tier ships, especially the C-store ones, without having to be a liability to the rest of your team in a high-level queue. And they'd make a heck of a lot more sense than just making T6 versions of everything--I mean, the idea of a Miranda that's anything like a match for a Galaxy in battle is... stretching plausibility.
And while we're on the subject--it would be extremely cool to have an ISS prefix available somehow for the TOS Connie, seeing as the pilot version of the Enterprise model was also re-used as the Mirror Universe Enterprise.
One: Heck yes, finally a proper TMP Connie appearance! Thank you, amazing STO artists, for continuing to make the game ever prettier!
Two: Where's my T6 C-store Connie? =P
Sure, I might have at least one of each of the harder-to-acquire Connies already, but that doesn't mean I don't want a different variant that's C-store acquirable either. If even the Miranda light cruiser gets a T6 (which it rightly deserves), I can only hope the T2 cruiser for Feds, as well as the T2 Klingon battlecruiser (and definitely the T3, please), gets a T6 boost into the C-store, too!
Do you have that line about the TOS C-Store Constitution in your clipboard?

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

Please remember the phase II Enterprise if you get some extra time someday.
Shoulda released it in the C-Store - I'd have paid ZEN for it.

Really?!?
Awesome, I've been suggesting this ship for years! Thanks for listening!
And that revamp of the TMP connie model is downright hot! (Fingers crossed for a C-Store T6 connie!)

now to get my wallet ready for a zen store connie... right??????? *hears crickets*
Glad to see the Connie catching up with the times, really appreciating the pilot version, my favorite of the two TOS variants.
