I know an Orion T6 FDC was coming!
Its the Orion Blackguard Flight Deck Assualt Cruiser (love the name)
Then the Romulans get the Suliban Silik Flight Deck Assault Cruiser.
The Feds get Tellarite Pralim Flight Deck Assault Cruiser.

It's "Pralim". Seriously.

Anyways I want to know what I.F.F. stands for.
And I wonder if this is a prelude to Rom Republic getting the Suliban Race.
Not sure what to think of the Federation and suliban designs.
I don't know about the Suliban, but round things are always good!
Although, I have no idea what the green glowy things on the Pralim are supposed to be. Certainly not deflectors nor weapons.

Identify Friend or Foe.
Basically its a little dohicky that transmits a code to friendly craft saying "I'm Friendly". If a reciever doesn't get that code, then its generally tagged as hostile. Civilians probably broadcast a general code saying "civilian".

Identification Friend or Foe: a system that tells whether another ship is hostile based on a transponder, mostly meant to keep you from firing on an ally. Hence the confusion effect.
Maybe I've been playing too many Gundam video games lately, but the Pralim looks like they tore the head off a Big Zam or some other Zeon mobile armour and stuck some engines on the back. Or perhaps a squashed Musai cruiser... there's just a generally Zeon look to it for some reason.
Also, I kinda want pecan praline ice cream now.
The ships look ok overall, but not really my cup of tea at the moment.
i also remember Arkonians using this same ship class as well. I hope Cryptic reflect in the description that it's a class of ship that has commonly been sold to other governments and easy to mass produce for the Tellarites. It could explain that oversight however three different races could happen to build the same ship design and class but look slightly different in color.

Lots of ships have been used by multiple races. Its not uncommon in Star Trek to reuse models. Hell... the top part of a D'Deridex was used as an alien ship!
Anyways... So we are getting another Founding Member ship with the Tellarite cruiser. Technically we now have all four Founding Members represented in game with the NX, Kumari set, D'Kyr, and now this Tellarite. Now we just need T6 Kumaris and a T6 Vulcan ship.

Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Or the Tellarites sold their trusty design to others

think of the ships parts one set for each faction, then you break those down by class ships. your science, your tactical, and engineer/cruisers. then from there you can use each part type within the means of each type giving complete customization like one would with their captains.

Neat idea, although I'd suspect those ships come with no customization options whatsoever.

With all respect, but Starfleet ships have never been designed built and used by alien races outside the Federation, occasionally a Federation ship is stolen, but that misses half the point.
Klingon, Romulan, Dominion, Breen, Tholian and Cardassian military ships have never been designed, built or used by any other races either.
In minor cases where a freighter design is used or an occasional military ship is used as a reuse, but nothing so major as one of the founding races of the federation.
besides all i am looking for is a little clarification on the ship design so these types of arguements don't not have to be started.

Tellarites simply have the least exposition in canon to the point that they didn't even get their own ship design. But as long as STO doesn't include weird one-shot races like Arkonians or Xindi-Arboreals this is a native Tellarite design in the context of the game. For actual canon, it's ENT nonsense I don't really care for anyway

Exactly what my original point was aiming for.

Wonder if we're getting new fighters along with the Tellarite too, only the Orions have existing subfaction fighters out of those three (Slaver fighters and Marauder assault shuttles).
The Blackguard FDC is more uncertain, maybe it will get Orion Correvettes instead, or they will make up for the lack if new pets with access to the Orion Bridge they created for a Temporal Fed mission as a player mission.

Orion's also have Orion Interceptors, Orion Tacyon Drones. I all the Orion pets in elite. I wish they'd give the Shuttles a torpedo weapon.
A Dev over on Reddit confirmed that you can change the hull color to brown to match the Arkonian better. The Official blog for them seems to say that it's just a coincidence with the other powers having such similar ships.
Don't care. I want a swarm of angry bees, that means at least six cell ships buzzing around. Twelve would be better still.
