    How about updating the KT Connie with the refit versions from Into Darkness and Beyond?

    I'd love to get refit versions of the KT Connie too !

    Question -

    The TMP Connie refit, what phasers would be the closest to canon ?

    Pulse Phasers?

If you mean the Ralph McQuarrie concepts from Roddenberry's Phase II, which eventually became TMP, that has been reborn as USS Discovery & won't be showing up until & unless the material from ST Discovery makes it into the game.

    No I mean the real phase II Enterprise that was going to be in the second series instead of the motion picture.

    The discovery is not the phase II Enterprise.

    Infinity R&D Promotion Pack not a Lockbox is where you find the T6 Constitution.

    Was in a lockbox gamble and it is still a lockbox gamble no matter how you slice it. The release was very badly thought out considering how easily obtained the JJprise and the JJ dread is.

    Congratulations to the STO Ship Art Team! I know this one was a long time coming. I'm pleased you finally got to exercise your model building muscles upon the more historical touchstones.

    Any chance we might have the inboard nacelle illumination we see in the Miranda preview from Tribble by ZEfilms? I understood why it didn't come with the final Miranda. But I always felt it a perfect customization for this one.

    Thomas Marrone has just ascended to near divinity level badass artist!! :D These are awesome!!

    now to get my wallet ready for a zen store connie... right??????? *hears crickets*

    Seconded completely! Thomas Marrone, my hat is off to you sir, and my head bowed in profound and humble respect.

    If you have the time, sir, please have a look at touching up the D-7 (as opposed to K'Tinga). At least getting the a skin with the decals in the right spots would help.

    Also hoping for a Zen Store T6 Connie, T'Liss and D-7.

    @repetitiveepic: You know perfectly well he meant T6.

  • salvation4salvation4 Member Posts: 1,167 Arc User
    T6 KT Connie in the Zen store may never happen as till now have never seen a lockbox ship get into the C-store and kinda makes sense..With lockboxes around people buying keys and so on..Putting it in the zen store would make alot of people who spent on keys angry and if it happens we may see lockboxes go off completely and eliminating keys to purchase in the bargain..
    Plus the T6 KT connie is on the exchange for 282 Mil.. :|
    The KT Enterprise 1701-A is a tough ship to find a full detail view on so at best it would be Into Darkness Skin..

    If anything looking forward to a nemisis skin sov with a shuttle bay update..That would also be nice to purchase or whatever seems fit to have a sov with a shuttle bay.. B)
    Good to see alot of cannon skins making their way into STO full fledged.. :)

    Big thanks to Thomas Marrone, who did these on his own time.

    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.

    Yeah, if they EVER let the rest of us who don't have deep pockets have an opportunity to get the T6, I expect it will be through more gamble options, like the Phoenix packs. So, I don't see getting a T6 as a realistic thing happening for my account.

    Cryptic: "We have no spare resources or time to make new kdf/rom ships for the few players there!"

    -Looks at the news-

    ...

    ...

    ...

    -reads they made new bits for the connie, a lockbox ship (lets face it, nobody will use a lv20ish connie in endgame) for all intents and purposes with a number of owners being less than the kdf population by far-

    ...

    ...

    ...

    -begins sharpening bat'leth and muttering curses about the nep quvHa' Ha'DIbaH ...-

    I had noticed some Twitter posts indicating that these updates were also voluntarily done on the designer's free time...

    I can't express enough how your dedication is appreciated...
  • jackson900pwejackson900pwe Member Posts: 189 Arc User
    Wow. When you guys do things like this, I can justify the money I've been putting into this game. Keep it up!

    Took the words out of my mouth. I have to applaud you guys in the art department and other teams that worked on this stuff. This is amazing graphics and modelling. Wow. Just wow.
  • leemwatsonleemwatson Member Posts: 5,331 Arc User
    I love the new models, now I kinda wish the Galaxy Class got an overhaul. Or at least the deflector dish bug got fixed!

    Way to go team! These new models are amazing!

    It did get an update already when it's T6 version came out.

    Nice thank you for this hard work to fix the flaws in the Constitutions. Now if only you made the T-6 TOs Constitution as readily available as the butt ugly Kelvin ships you would really make a lot of players happy. Take my money give me a T-6 TOS Enterprise or Klingon D-7 and not in another gamble box. :smiley:

    It's already in-game.
    A shame only a miniscule elitist minority will be able to fully appreciate the Constitution model rework.

    Still, all that is missing now is a rework of the Excelsior model!

    No. This skin is available to all variants of the Connie.
    cross821 wrote: »
    So you redo a skin for a ship that less then 1% of the player base as? What a waste of time.

    Look up!
    Very nice! I especially like that we're getting the pilot version of the Constitution, with its subtle variations. Quite unexpected.

    I hope this might one day include revamped, superb looking bridges and interiors for these ships!

    Where is this announcement!?

    This was more likely a CBS decision than Cryptic's.

    It would appear that every single class of Enterprise has received a proper remodel now (not sure about Sovereign)

    The Sovereign got updated when they did the Attack Wing promotion a while back. I bought the T6 variant, the Archon, and of course changed it in the ship customization to the original model - and it looks a LOT better than it did at launch!

    I too hold out hope for a T6 Connie (perhaps an update to the Exeter?), but it may be a fool's hope...then again, so was getting the KT Connie out of the box, and I (somehow) managed to do that!

    I have a strong feeling that they will release a t6 version of the Exeter (4/4), with a proper T6 skin/model pretty soon, thou i dont know what specialist seating will be (it wont be temporal, thats for sure)

    The hero we need and don't deserve.

    Edit: Wait, this means Cryptic doesn't need to recoup costs. Are we not getting an infinity promo pack rerun anytime soon? I will throw all my Zen if you do, and I'm someone who rarely ever thinks about doing this kind of thing. The remodel is THAT good.

    Look, for all those who think that it sucks they're making these ships look better even though you only use them briefly compared to higher tier ships, these ships should still look as correct as possible. All canon Star Trek ships/interiors in STO should look act and feel canon! Who wants to log into the Star Trek online for the first time and get to their first ship and think "man this thing's ugly af" like we did(were you there when STO first rushed out?). Disappointing initial expectations is not exactly a good start to the whole Star Trek Online experience. Especially with how much they've actually improved it over the years(keep at it STO!). Of course it makes sense the earlier content will need to catch up to the newer content at some point.

    I'm excited that STO is finally showing good effort taking it to the right level. I like how they've improved a lot of the guts of the game since around or just before the Iconian War episodes. Gameplay and episodes and the like overall make more sense and flow better. Now all the canon ships should look canon(bridges and interiors too, BRIDGES AND INTERIORS TOO! If you love ST so much, please make a Whole Experience and make the canon bridges/interior areas canon because they've never been Star Trek bridges/interiors frankly. Just GIANT spaces with clunky computers and props instead of anything we see on ST which have the same feel the ships did at launch(rushed and just not right at all lol.) Seriously, what is up with the lcars on some of these bridges? They don't animate, they rotate images of lcars sequentially and get stretched over consoles and look absolutely terrible! Textures have looked old and stale even when they were "new". I know you can do it! Just look at those AMAZING TOS Kelvin and Intrepid bridges/interiors!!! Galaxy bridge/interiors next please!). I am hoping, especially with STO designers touted love for Star Trek and respect for being faithful to the look and feel of Star Trek, that this will simply be the first of many more awesome additions/facelifts to come! (might be naive optimism but...i've been naively optimistic about STO years before it came out so why stop now?)

    The game looks and feels more like Star Trek than it did when it came out that's for sure. And if it's really taken this long to get some of the much needed improvements to the game considering it's shaky start then that's fine. Ultimately I'm lucky STO exists at all. And it can't be easy to make all this TRIBBLE up in a game so that it looks acts and feels like Star Trek. No matter how much I, like you, would wish they'd hurry up! LOL

    So great job keep'm coming!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah but it didnt get the skin/update like the last Enterprise E we saw in Nemisis, it was more of the first contact version..Like the shuttle bay curvature where the saucer and secondary hull meet..Then the aft torp launcher above the saucer shuttle bay, the elevate nacelles/elevated pylons..Also the more pronounched aztecing of the hull..All I wish for are the physical model being updated to the Nemisis version, aztecing for the sov is too demanding for obvious reason, and a shuttle bay..

    "captains who own the Temporal Light Cruiser (T6) will be able to use the NX and NX-Refit materials on their ships as well."

    Do I read it well? IF I get a T6 Connie I can turn it into a T6 NX identical to the ENT one T1 version and not the T6 TOS restyle?

    If yes, I could subscribe right now.
    I still dream from time to time about using the Gateway to doff off-game in spare minutes as we were told
